I am so glad that there is finally a bubble tea cafe on campus! I was already a fan of Teapsy as…read morethere is one on Whyte Ave, but having one in university itself is incredible. They sell the usual flavoured tea with toppings like tapioca pearls, pudding and jelly. They also have ice cream here in various flavours including matcha! All their products are of a high quality and worth the money. There is usually a line up around lunch time and in the early afternoon but their service is quick. Only deducting one star as they do run out of tapioca pearls and some flavours of ice cream occasionally.

It had pineapple pieces at the bottom and mixed well with the matcha. They use 100% pure matcha. Sweetness was just right and wasn't bitter. It does taste slightly powdery but I didn't mind. The tapioca was soft and chewy Earl Grey Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly $6.19- Great drink as well! Strong Earl grey tea flavour and the coffee jelly was yummy to chew on I wish it wasn't so far from me or else I would go back more often. I like how they don't use plastic or paper straws that get soggy. They use sugar cane straws instead. They also have drinks I haven't seen at other bubble tea places in the city. Definitely a worthwhile bubble tea place to check out!

Recently opened in Chinatown at West Ed, the menu is the same as its Southside location. It's a…read morefairly small space with bench seating out front and a few tables in the back. (all of which is currently blocked off due to Covid) I ordered the Deerioca puff (nice brown sugar taste, liked the extra creamy bit that isn't in the Deerioca Fever) and The Alley Trio Milk Tea (nice tea flavor, didn't really think pineapple jelly went well with it though). Service isn't extremely speedy. Pricing is average in comparison to other bubble tea joints.

We came here recently on a beautiful day for some ice cream treats. There were plenty of staff on…read moresite that day and they were doing their best to keep up with the crowd. I was a bit disappointed that my favourite Marble Slab ice cream flavour was not present but I found a delicious option instead. I was a bit disappointed that my hot caramel was spilling out of my cup when I received my dessert but it was delicious (if particularly messy) nonetheless. The stools were pretty comfy all things told and we rather enjoyed our treats. In general I find Marble Slab to be pretty good. The fact that I can get fresh fruit mixed into my ice cream (plus some confections of various types!) is pretty awesome. I usually recommend a waffle bowl as it's less messy than a cone and tastes delicious, but on this most recent visit I had already had a good dinner so I didn't want the additional non-ice cream delights to accompany my treat. This location has a decent amount of parking and we were able to find a spot conveniently close to the store.

They had a great deal on their milkshakes at the time: you got $2 off each shake, so I decided to get an extra shake for my sister. The shakes normally cost around $7, but they ended up being about $5 each after the promotion. The milkshakes were definitely worth the price of admission. I ordered the a cookies n' cream milkshake and it was one of the best I've had in Edmonton. This place is right up there with Dairy Queen, you should definitely check it out.

There was a family and single in front of me, but with 3 staff working, it moved quickly. I never know what tea I want until I talk with the staff member. This time I wanted an oolong tea and the long life oolong was recommended to me. I love how they open the tin and I can smell the the tea. I'm not big on fruity teas but this one had a fragrant mix of peach, apricot, orange, and almonds and I decided to try it. The wait to get my tea took about 5 minutes but the staff person making them was doing her best to make them quickly. The tea was really good and didn't need any sweetener. The fruit taste wasn't overwhelming and the serving size lasted me a long time to drink. They have a frequent steeper club that you can sign up on their website. Will be back to try a new tea!

Any OG Edmontonians remember when this place was Taiwan Bubble Tea with the eye soar red booths, dimmed lighting and split sitting areas that didn't go with either scheme? Yeah, well when you walk into HI Tea you don't see any remnants of that decade which I'm glad we've moved on from. They've managed to renovate the space and make it more modern with LIGHT! Nothing like a 2018 cafe without some scattered potted plants for decoration, wooden panels for an accent wall and of course tables and chairs with the same wood to blend it all together. Ah, now Hi tea you've sure got the aesthetics down now! Now to their menu, before Hi Tea became Hi tea it was a split between Taiwan bubble tea and Cheers Cut (that place with the giant flimsy piece of chicken that was half bone and looked nothing like the display out front) Food wasn't great, and it was more of a novelty visit more than anything. Fast Forward to today, food wise nothing really different or tantalizing, same mix of Taiwanese snacks and bowls and bentos. Bubble tea prices start from $4.80 for an artificial flavor all the way to $7.50 for milkshakes and milk caps. More epensive than coco's but -OKAY HI TEA. We got the Toufu Mik Tea - ($6.xx) - Bae liked this a lot, One of their specialty drinks that wasn't on their main menu but a seperate picture poster, pretty unique! Super Fruit Iced Tea ($6.99) - I paid 7 dollars for a cup for 70% sliced fruit, lol. I mean it was good, but like $7. This was my bad. It was on a poster and looked super pretty. Competition especially around this area will probably be the reason why I wouldn't revisit. Not a bad place to go if you're in to try for something different though.

Lots of cookie flavors available. I opted to randomly try the Double Chocolate Expresso with my boyfriend as coffee flavor is his preference. The cookie was very dry and crumbly (?old). Very little/no coffee flavor. If you can see in the picture there is a dark spot on the cookie and I think this was espresso ?powder and it was really bitter. 3/10 cookie. Perhaps I just chose an old cookie but if this is a reflection of their stock I sadly will not be back.

Are they baking them with Crisco or something? I don't how one makes them this bad. Someone bought me some as a gift the other day, and I brought them to work for, shall I say, disposal without waste? Well that didn't go as planned. A day later the box is still sitting half-full. I work in a stressful, high-paced environment, and sugary fatty treats are usually inhaled within minutes by the staff. That these cookies are still sitting there waiting for takers is extremely telling. I was really hopeful something had changed with their new location, but definitely not. Cookie Love was bad when it was just off 124 St and 102 Ave, and it's still bad, possibly worse. Where are all these 5 star reviews coming from, seriously? I literally took one bite of a double chocolate espresso and threw out the rest of the cookie, it was that awful. The ginger-lemon was odd in taste, weak ginger flavour, better texture, bad aftertaste. The flavours they use are weird at best in my experience. Protip: if a Yelp reviewer describes something as "amazing" but then fails to qualify that statement, ignore the review.
