My bf wanted to try so i went there again and ordered in half sweet for green tea latte with boba and creme foam from tv screen menu and the number was 16 so we jist ordered with number but the tv screen menu numbers and what rhey actually have it on their menu number was different so i got mine without pearls and extra stuff. Staffs were kind and he put pearl by reopening my drink but I wasn't really amazed with the taste so i probably wont going back again.

Yelpers need to step it up here in Calgary. Only 15 reviews when Google has 1.3K reviews? Yeah,…read moreI visited Royaltea because of Google, not Yelp. My wife and I were greeted by Pat (the owner?) as soon as we walked in. He was happy to see and hear that he had visitors from the south. Since they weren't that busy, Pat was able to make conversation with us. After the talk was over, we ordered some kind of tea for my wife, and a mango sago drink for me. I don't think my wife understood their menu very well. She ordered what she thought was a milk tea. What she got had no milk in it. After leaving, she made me go back in to see if Pat could add some milk in it. Pat was able to fix the drink more to her liking. My mango sago drink was very good. Royaltea was a good place. Pat was a wonderful guy. Drinks were good. Will have to go back when visiting Calgary again.

Went for bubble tea at Royaltea. They have a second location closer to 17th Avenue. This branch is…read morenext door to Sushi Sora. We dropped in on a slow Thursday (3:30pm). Worker told us that they make their taro in-house. Drinks are in the $5.49 to $12.49 price range. No ice is $1.00 extra. - Matcha slush with mousse ($8.29 large) - good matcha flavour. Mousse was a cheese foam - Crème brûlée taro milk ($8.98 large) - taro was fresh, not overly sweet - Taro coconut with milk ($7.30 regular) Drinks are pricey but decent for Cowtown.

walking around kensington, i stumbled into yummy q and it immediately felt like one of those small…read morelocal spots worth slowing down for. it's a cozy, compact shop, just a few tables tucked into a corner, but it has a lot of character. warm lighting, quiet background chatter, and artwork by jessie lin on the walls that you can actually buy. it feels like a space built with intention, not just filled for the sake of it. the menu is surprisingly wide for such a small place: drinks of all kinds, plus house made gelato and sorbet that make it hard to decide. even the details feel playful, like the cups with little cat ears on the lids. you can also customize sugar levels from 0% up to 125%, which makes it easy to get something exactly how you like it. i went with the sparkling grapefruit yakult, no sugar, and kept it simple with no toppings, even though there's a long list of options, tapioca pearls, brown sugar pearls, crystal pearls, strawberry and mango popping boba, aloe vera, crushed oreo, lychee jelly, coffee jelly, soft grass jelly, mango pudding, coconut pudding, jasmine jelly, and cheese foam. the first sip was bright and refreshing, light bubbles, a clean citrus hit, and that grapefruit sharpness coming through in a really simple, satisfying way. it worked perfectly while wandering through kensington. it's the kind of stop that reminds you why supporting small local businesses matters. places like this add personality to a neighbourhood, they're not just selling drinks, they're shaping the feel of the street. a short visit turns into a small experience, and that's what makes spots like this worth choosing over the usual chains.

I came here with my sister after dinner and I ordered the Mango Yukult Jasmine tea drink. It was a…read morebad choice to get the bubble tea here. They do uses real fruit but they are so cheap on the fruits. Only 1/10 of the drink is the real fruit and the rest is just the cheap jasmine tea (please see photo). I also watched her count the few cubes of mango. Putting in to the cup and then taking it out. The lady worried putting too much mango. There was only 6 tiny cubes before she crushed them. That is not even 1/5 of the mango. They were not even generous to add in the Yukult. They charges a premium price of $5.99 for a large. I couldn't taste the mango flavor or the yukult flavor. It was basically all water and jasmine tea. I believe they only use the fruit to give it the color of the drink. I guess this is a one time visit. The place wasn't busy when we came. I don't recommend Yummy Q. It is like throwing your money away. If you really like Jasmine tea. You can go to Chinatown or T&T and get a really big bag of Jasmine tea leafs for $3.99. All you have to do is have the tea leafs sit in hotwater and then consume. The place is newly open and if they don't change, all their customers will be one time customers only.

Gong Cha is the second favorite spot of ours. I love how there's a location that is not apart of a mall. My partner and I ordered some drinks and snacks and she went to pick them up while running errands. She said the place was very clean and she loved the ambiance of the establishment. She loves plants and this place has a really nice vibe to it. The staff were very friendly and our drinks/snacks were so tasty. I've never had waffle balls before! We ordered the chocolate (which was our first time trying) and we got the Oreo waffle. These snacks were BUSSIN! The drinks we ordered were lychee oolong tea with lychee pearls and strawberry green tea with mango popping pearls.

It tasted pretty good and wasn't overly sweet! The boba was also fresh and chewy. This gong cha has an Arirang Korean Hot Dog place inside too. So you can munch on some delicious korean hot dogs while enjoying your bubble tea. The staff was nice and the establishment was clean, including the restroom.

We also came with a big group so we had a large order of drinks! There was only one worker and the poor worker was working as fast as she can. After waiting some time, there was another employee coming in to help out to expedite our order lol. Trying the osmanthus whole lemon tea, it was pretty standard. Nothing too special, but I also just wanted something refreshing. It was definitely nice enough to keep the day going. I do wish she was able to put the whole lemon into slices in there, but it was literally just semi-sliced with the whole lemon lol. I think many people also mentioned that the drinks are generally pretty sweet here. The boba shop is pretty small, also connected to a supermarket. Boba shop has very limited seating, but the neighborhood also seems very quiet so it doesn't feel busy at all. I also thought this was the same Koi chain from Singapore(?) but it is not.

Located inside the T&T Supermarket near the entrance/ exit opposite the food court. Their claim to…read morefame is the fresh tapioca pearls they are usually seen prepping in full public view. This particular locale is more low key and very enclosed, on the other hand. Whether or not you get fresh tapioca pearls made with brown sugar remains to be seen, BUT they were definitely yummy in that they were delightfully chewy with a pleasant pop of burnt sweetness. I had the Passion Strawberry Yogurt Green Tea with these morsels of brown sugar. Overall, it was a refreshing combination even with the slight sour quality within the 500mL cup. Strangely, the drink was sealed with a plastic cover but I was given a paper straw as an environmentally conscience option, I guess. Said paper straw with pointed end served as an inadequate puncturing device into the contradictory plastic cover. Somehow I avoided spillage, but definitely something to rethink. Perhaps pair the paper straw with a paper covering.
