I really liked this drink! The tea flavour was good and I liked that they sweeten their drinks with honey. My bf and friends also really their their grapefruit green tea. I personally don't like grapefruit but it's very refreshing! The rose milk tea was not too floral or artificial tasting and was an interesting drink! Personally I prefer regular milk tea, but this one was still tasty They have an app where you can collect points and rewards. You just type in your phone number associated with your account on the screen by the cashier! You can get a free topping for signing up and they have a BOGO offer on your birthday. Plenty of parking as it's in a plaza (the same plaza as Pho Thanh). My new go to for milk tea in the city!

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.

It definitely scratches the boba itch. I tried an oolong milk tea with brown sugar pearls and it nets out at perfect sweetness at 50%. The pearls are perfectly qq and well soaked in brown sugar syrup. The drink feels a bit more on the creamier side compared to other milk teas I've had, so the tea flavor is more muted but still good. The fruity drinks also look really good, so definitely come back for your neighborhood boba needs.

The store is located in a plaza with a lot of other stores/restaurants. The ambiance of the shop is…read morepretty casual. There are a few long tables (3?) that can seat around 6-8 people each that patrons can use. There are also a few "bar" style chairs tables right by the entrance that can seat about 3-6 people. The staff were really helpful and nice. No complaints there at all. The drinks at this franchise are pretty solid. I've definitely come here multiple times in the same weekend. Overall, a solid spot for boba/tea. Taro milk tea with sago is a personal favorite. If I'm back in the area, will definitely return.

After a long wait and no checkups, the staff act like they can't be bothered doing their jobs. It is clear that management does not provide any training or supervision. This level of incompetence does not just happen. Let us discuss the mood. This is disgusting. I have heard enough about the cockroach problem in the building and management not doing anything that I really lost my appetite sitting there. If there is chatter about pests in a restaurant and nothing changes, that's a huge red flag. Especially for a place that should meet baseline AHS standards. They managed poorly the service was also not good. Countless sushi spots in Calgary don't leave you wondering about hygiene, safety, and life choices, and most are better than this one. Stay away from here unless you enjoy being ignored and grossed out.

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!

Felt like wings and bubble tea, so gave this place a try. BIG mistake!…read moreFor $6.90/10 wings, I wasn't expecting much at all, I knew it properly gonna be small pub type wings, so I placed 3 orders. When they came, I was actually beyond disappointed ( and I am ethic Cantonese, it take a lot to horrify me). You can see in my photos, they appeared to be "half eaten" and burnt, I placed an loonie there for comparison, you can see that the "wings" are about sizes of the loonie!! And they have feathers all over them! Some pieces literally looks like an armpit, I am so grossed out. The one star is for the bubble tea, which was decent and the pearl was cooked right, and I love the ice/sweetness option. But I have zero trust in a business that have the nerve to serve such "wings" as food for their customers. That is just plain disrespectful.

The people working the register were so sweet and the drinks came out really fast. :) The oolong milk tea was better than the original milk tea because the oolong tea flavor was prominent.

Out here in Calgary, there seems to be plenty to go around! Happy Tea is by far my favorite! I've tried the majority of their fruit teas. Pineapple, peach, green apple, lemon, passion fruit, grapefruit, lychee. My favourite so far is the passion fruit but I'm also a big fan of the lemon as well as the pineapple and peach. I'm not big into the milk teas but I plan to work my way into trying the slush drinks as well. I like adding the lychee popping pearls in the fruit teas. My partner enjoys getting the brown sugar milk tea. Although she wishes they had an oat milk option, she still enjoys the drink and orders it every time. The staff are always super friendly and the place is always very clean. Glad there is a place walking distance that we enjoy so much.
