We love stopping for bubble tea on all of our road trips. This is a nice quiet little place with a…read morefew board games you can sit and play like Trivial Pursuit or Sabobatage (a fitting bubble tea themed board game). Also some cute trinkets and plant pots. The drive thru is also open now which when you're in a rush this is fantastic! There is also a Rewards program you can sign up for using the QR code and you get an electronic card so you don't have to worry about finding space in your wallet. What bubble teas have we tried? We always always get Taro with bobas, but a similar option but more luxurious is the Ube Deluxe. Recently we had the Mango Matcha and I think this might be my new favourite. I also remember really enjoying the Tiramisu with coffee jellies- it was sweet but had such a nice light coffee flavour. The Butterfly series is super refreshing and is so pretty when you get a trifecta of colors. We also have had the Yokult series but found it a bit over the top sweet. A well kept single bathroom, staff are super friendly. And plenty of parking out front for the whole strip mall setup. Definitely our go-to bubble tea spot whenever we pass through.

Easy to find via Google Maps. Lots of parking in the communal area/ strip mall parking lot. Menu…read morewas a bit confusing as the ones on the TV changed so fast it was hard to read at the same time. Cashier was very friendly and did not make us feel rushed ordering. No public bathrooms noted. I ordered the Mango Boba Milk. It was way more creamy/yogurt like than I expected. Added popping jellies and mango jellies and they were great. Good flavor considering I am not a huge fan of yogurt. Very refreshing. Boyfriend got the pain coffee with tapioca. Didn't know you could get plain coffee but that's exactly what it tasted like - a latte with pearls. He was happy as it wasn't too sweet and gave him a nice caffeine kick. Price is very reasonable. Favorite bubble tea in Red Deer for sure! Can't wait to come back and try some more flavors.

But so so many bubble tea choices it's a bit overwhelming, but fun to pick and try to decide! The…read moregal working was helpful with recommendations as well which I always appreciate. Sometimes bubble tea places are slammed but when we arrived it wasn't too busy, but the longer we stayed the more people arrived! Not much for seating, definitely a pick up and take out kind of place. I like being able to pick regular or a jumbo size, plus options with amounts of sugar/sweetener and ice amounts! They had some seats still and a fun photo op spot. BUT absolutely no public washrooms! What we tried: New Red mango coconut Pearl coolers - amazing! With fresh mango this one was my absolute fav for flavor Yamtaro mochi milk tea - really interesting, with a classic milk tea kind of flavor. Fun to try different mochi/pearls. Kyoto Matcha cheesecake - rich and thick. Had a nice matcha flavor as well

Out of the four bubble tea stores in Red Deer, Bestea is my second favourite choice. It's…read moreconveniently located in downtown, but this also means it can be a sketchy venture at night. I do appreciate that they are open later however (10pm on weekdays, 11pm on weekends, 9pm on Sunday) for those late-night boba cravings! Their interior is very inviting but it is a smaller space with a few tables and a counter to sit down at. The back of the store has a backdrop, ring light, and phone holder for those looking for a mini photo session while waiting for your drinks! The simple reason that they are not my top pick is because I've had a fair share of not-so-great flavours while exploring their selection. Many of their blends that use strawberry tastes like the artificial powder stuff vs. real fruit, and leaves a gritty mouthfeel. I've tried many of their seasonal featured drinks as well and have been left feeling disappointed more than impressed. On the other hand, their milk brulee and cheesecake series have been really good! I also enjoy their fresh avocado latte. Their pearls have also been inconsistent, sometimes being overcooked and other times, too chewy. We've also visited when they ran out of their tapioca but we were still charged full price for our drinks. This is why I think they are deserving of a 3/5 as they have a mix of great, mediocre, and not so great drinks.

What an experience... from the single size portions, to the straws that dissolve in 5 minutes or…read moreless, or the sour cheese placed on top of most of the drinks (without notice). Would not suggest this as an authentic boba experience. There are much better BBT options in the city such as BesTea located a few minutes away.

Came here to check it out. Lots of parking in front of the store. Staff was not the friendliest but…read moreanother staff came out while my order was being made and was very friendly. No one else came in while I was there. Didn't look like they have a bathroom for customers. I tried the Ice scramble as they had a picture of it at the front counter. It look more than 5min to make. Want an interesting drink! Shaved ice flavored with a light syrup, chocolate sauce, and skim milk powder (?sweetened), with mini marshmallows on top (like 4 of them.

Finally had some time to eat away from the hotel on this trip. Consulted Yelp and discovered a not…read morefar sushi restaurant. And I was craving sushi. I was absolutely THRILLED to discover they serve gluten free tempura! A note for celiacs that they use a shared fryer. Dinner was promptly served and delicious. Tempura was a little greasy, but I haven't had tempura in years and it was gone in a flash. Also to note, on the menu Crab meat = imitation crab stick. Not gluten free variety. Kamaboko. For land-locked sushi, they have very reasonable prices. A sweet and thoughtful touch - dessert was waiting for me when I finished - a nice fresh bowl of ice cream!

We were actually on our way to another Yelp-suggested Japanese restaurant when the "Sushi Sushi"…read moresign caught our attention. It's a tiny little place, maybe 4 tables and 3 booths. A cute little Japanese family owns and runs it. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and accommodating to our requests for changes to menu items. The food wasn't lightening fast, but we weren't sitting around waiting for it forever either. And the rolls weren't quite as tight as they could have been. But those are my only two complaints, and I'd hardly call them even that. Otherwise, the rolls were DELICIOUS. We both enjoyed them a lot. Super fresh Ingredients, excellent tasting rice and good combinations of flavors (We ordered the Mexican and the Rainbow Dynamite). I'll definitely visit here again.
