It took a bit longer than the other drinks but it was worth every minute. *STAWBERRY MANGO POPPING BOBA *MANGO AND MANGO POPPING BOBA *STRAWBERRY WITH RAINBOW JELLY My daughters are 9 and 11 and I can tell when we hit up a good boba place when they finish their drinks. We have been to some places where it's either too sweet, too watery or what other non-sense where the drink is messed up. They finished these and asked if we could come back the next day. Enough said. This place rocks!

Visited this new bubble tea shop on Pembina Hwy which is still in its soft opening stage. Was told…read morethat the grand opening day would be on July 12th. The place is really cute and the owners were kind. The first time I went there, I tried their taro freeze with taro jelly, which comes in a large size. It's topped with whipped cream. The taro flavour is on the milder side and tasted more milky. The owners were open to suggestions and improving their drinks so I suggested to make the taro flavour a bit more stronger and they were susceptible to the feedback. I was able to try their mango pudding which was really good! It tasted just like the ones you would find at the Chinese restaurant at dim sum. The second time I visited, I got their tofu pudding with ginger syrup which is served warm. The tofu pudding was silky smooth. Would have loved for it to come with more syrup but overall it still tasted great. The owner suggested I try it with coconut milk so he gave me some to add to it and I liked it. It was my first time trying tofu pudding this way. I also got to try the tropical fruit tea which was quite good. I tried it without any sugar adjustments and it is on the sweeter side so I would suggest getting it at probably 70% sugar, but if you prefer it to be sweet than at 100% it's perfect for you. The caramel flan was also really good as well. Overall, I would highly recommend coming to try them out!

Next time I'll have it with a boba tea.

I felt my dignity being ripped away from me. I have never felt so disgusted and scammed. Shame on you kawaii. Peanut butter? Really? Ew. Just ew. Do better.

When Hawaii Kai opened up and I read that it served Poke, I could not resist to try it. I love Poke…read moreand unfortunately, Winnipeg is seriously lacking in Poke options (I believe Chosabi is the only other place that offers Poke). Hawaii Kai is located inside Cityplace mall. It is a take-out spot, catering to the city's downtown office workers. Their menu includes a variety of 'healthy' Hawaiian and Asian cuisine, including salads, smoothies and bubble-tea. I ordered the salmon poke bowl. It came out to about $15. The portion was relatively small for what I expected. The salmon had a strange type of mayo spice on it. The crunch flakes used were reminiscent of cheap Frito corn chips. Overall I was disappointed. I was looking forward to Hawaii Kai as an alternative to Freshii (also located in the mall), but with it being much more expensive for sub-par quality, I think I will be pass on this in the future and head back to Freshii for their rice bowls (I know this is not an apples to apples comparison). This scores 3 out of 5 mainly because of its location and it being the second spot in Winnipeg to offer Poke.

While the drinks might not be the most authentic compared to what you'd find in Asia, they're still absolutely delicious, rich in flavour, and super satisfying. Every sip hits the spot... this place will definitely fulfill your bubble tea cravings. I also love how they have such a wide variety of options, toppings, sugar levels, etc. for you to choose from. Also, I have to mention... they were playing My Little Pony on the TV inside when I visited! I have no idea why, but honestly, it just adds to the quirky charm of the place. Totally random, but kind of hilarious. All in all, Khab Tapioca is a great little gem in Winnipeg -- tasty drinks, friendly service, and a fun, cozy vibe that makes you want to come back.

Matcha Smoothie with Tapioca (25% sugar): I don't like my drinks overly sweet and 25% is perfect. The smoothie had a strong tea flavor and was super refreshing. The tapioca peals were made perfectly! Double Happiness with Tapioca (75% sugar): My sister got this one, but it was way to sweet. Even for her, but the lychee jelly made it so worth it!

This dollar store has taken over from where Office Depot used to be. Across from Dollarama was this Happy Lemon bubble tea store. I hadn't seen a Happy Lemon store in eons. A Yelp GTA experience drew my attention to the one in Vaughan, near Vaughan Mills. This franchise did not do well in Ontario and has since shuttered all its stores in the greater Toronto area. It was nice seeing that Happy Lemon was thriving in Winnipeg. It was a hot day. I was in need of some hydration, so I walked over to get some bubble tea. I got to see the mascot again. She was cool. Staff were friendly. I asked the man what drink sizes were available. Large is the smallest size. XL is next, which is a litre. There's also a two-litre size, but it depends on the type of drink that you are getting. I ordered an XL watermelon green tea with rainbow jelly and less ice. Sadly, I couldn't adjust the sugar. The man was too preoccupied with his conversation with his peer that he first charged me for a large. I paid with a credit card by tapping. I then looked at the receipt and realized that he made a mistake. I had to tap again to now upgrade to an extra large. It didn't take long for my drink to be made. It looked so pretty when it was handed to me. I thanked both folks and headed to my vehicle with a fairly hefty drink. The watermelon green tea was extremely refreshing and cold. I would have liked this drink less sweet. However, it wasn't gross. It was the natural sweetness of the watermelon coupled with the chewy rainbow jelly that made me forget about the sweetness after a minute. The toppings list was extensive. It had your regular salted cheese, various popping boba, and lychee jelly. You could also get cream puffs, various popping balls (kiwi, pineapple, and passionfruit). crystal jelly ball, coffee jelly, purple rice, and more. I felt like my eyeballs were getting bigger as I continued to read the list. One word: Wow! This store makes bubble waffles. The flavours are vast, from Oreo, to blueberry. There was plenty of parking at this plaza when I was here. I loved my drink. I'd return for more when I'm in the area again. (267)

I could taste that real brewed in a tea bag leaves in the Jasmine green tea lemonade drink. The honey added made it sweet and perfect! Maybe my stomach was just sensitive today but the chocolate puff milk tea with boba made my stomach queasy. Maybe it was the type of milk they used or the sugar but I had a hard time finishing it. It still tasted pretty good but the chocolate taste wasn't as authentic or sweet like the chocolate I am used to. The staff people were super friendly and knowledgeable. I needed their help with something and helpful they were! Thx guys! I can't wait to add more stamps on my Happy Lemon Card, 10 stamps equals a free drink! Oh and on Thursday they automatically give you a large for the price of a medium drink.

Today I decided to try the 3 sister's King lemon tea and the Taro Coconut foam with boba tea. The first one was super sweet and lemony.

On average the teas are about 5$ but so worth it : )
