Really nice staffs but the dessert didn't really hit. The ice cream in the panna cotta was icy instead of creamy as an ice cream should be. Sea salt cream was good tho read more

First time trying out SoyTalk, a Taiwanese dessert spot. They specialize in soy-based desserts. The inside has six tables (24 seats). Order and pay at the counter first. Desserts were $6.50 to $20.50, while drinks ranged from $5.50 to $7.50. - Mango shaved ice ($15.00) - excellent. Shaved ice was smooth, mango pieces were sweet. The cheese foam was tasty, bringing everything together - 2 Topping DIY soy pudding ($10.50) - opted for the soy milk base ($0.50 extra), grass jelly and large taro & yam balls. Interesting they give you a full scoop of brown sugar. Tofu was standard, grass jelly was solid. Balls had a decent bite read more

I like that their desserts aren't too sweet. But super busy with only 1 person working. I think our matcha ice cream melted when it was served onto our table. Nice place to just chill and chat. Didn't enjoy the texture of the brown sugar mochi that much. read more

I hadn't planned on visiting SoyTalk over this trip to Vancouver (and I hadn't heard of this place either) until I saw them on Too Good To Go. I didn't purchase a surprise bag, but I was intrigued with all of the soy desserts that I had to come in for a visit. Number 2, Brown Sugar, Soy Milk Base, Cold ($11) - We weren't sure what to order, so we went with one of the pre-made options with tapioca pearls, taro/sweet potato balls, brown sugar, and a soy milk base. For the cold option, they give two small ice cream scoops of brown sugar flavored granita, which combined with a brown sugar drizzle on top of the soy milk, gives a not-too-sweet sweetness level to the dessert. Everything else in this dessert is fantastic as well. The soy pudding is smooth without any grittiness and displays an exceptionally soy beany taste. The taro/sweet potato balls are cooked to perfection, giving off a superior chewy bounce that takes quite a jaw workout to get through. The pearls, which are pretty normal sized boba pearls, are also cooked to a good consistency, being firm, but nicely chewy. Since they can include pearls in both hot and cold desserts, I assume they have to balance the firmness of the tapioca. The brown sugar adds a deep caramel taste. Everything is doused in a soy milk base that works well to meld all the flavors together. Overall a solid dessert. (5/5) SoyTalk seems to be rated poorly on Yelp, but I thought it was quite good. It's very rare for me to skip an entire day of boba when visiting such a boba heavy city. But for SoyTalk, I was satisfied enough from this dessert that I did just that.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite snack/dessert place in Vancouver/Richmond and one of my favorites on this planet, which is saying a lot even given the plethora of options you can find in Richmond within a few blocks. Everything here is top tier: the shave ice, the soy milk tea, the boba. They offer Taiwanese desserts I can't find anywhere else and make them perfectly. Take the shave ice, for example: it's incredibly difficult - almost impossible - to find places that have the proper equipment to shave the ice as fine as here. And the soy milk tea has the perfect balance of soy milk and tea, complemented by nicely sweetened and chewy tapioca pearls. I went here 3 times within a week and that should tell you all you need to know about how much you need to make your way to SoyTalk ASAP! read more

As a visitor, I was so surprised to see an entire cafe dedicated to soy products. Growing up, tofu pudding was always a loved dessert, so I was excited to try it here! My group of six shared a classic ginger pudding and signature tofu pudding. I liked how each topping came in separate bowls; you can choose how much to pour into the tofu pudding bowl, or eat them separately. This makes it easier to share, since you can refrain from pouring a topping that someone else does not love. Overall, we loved it! I wish the ginger sugar was slightly stronger, but the soy flavor was very apparent. The ice cream was also great; I wish I got a separate order of it. My only reservation is that the tables and walkway are relatively small, so this spot isn't great for larger parties. read more

TALK SOY TO ME One of my favourite dessert shops in Richmond has finally opened and they have the cutest new desserts! @soytalk is a health forward dessert cafe that serves a variety of soy based treats. You can expect to find fresh soy tofu pudding that's made in-house daily, as well as a variety of other delicious treats like soy shaved ice, and fresh soy milks in tons of unique flavours. We were obsessed the their new cute and jiggly duck pudding that comes in a set with the chewiest taro balls and roasted nut powder. The pudding itself was not too sweet, and had the consistency of jelly--super refreshing and smooth. My favourite though, was definitely their new Supreme Taro Soy Pudding. The bowl come with their fresh house-made tofu pudding, and is topped with fresh taro paste, chewy taro balls (big and small), and their signature soy shaved ice (unlimited refill). I loved how fragrant the fresh taro flavour was, and this bowl had just the perfect hint of sweetness to enhance the nuttiness of the soy and taro. We also ordered their signature soy pudding #3 which was topped with their brown sugar shaved ice, taro balls, and pearls. This bowl was definitely a lot sweeter because of the brown sugar, but still super refreshing if you're looking for a sweeter treat. SoyTalk also has a unique menu of soy milk drinks that are offered in tons of flavours that we had not seen before. We opted to try a strawberry and a mango, and both were delicious. They also have tons of other drinks like tofu milk teas, and your classic iced teas and slushes on the menu as well. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you guys are ever craving for Asian desserts without the guilt. Have you guys ever tried SoyTalk? 9/10 ‍10/10 $$ (approx. $10-$20/person) SoyTalk | 1410-4380 No. 3 Rd, Richmond, BC [media] Thank you to @soytalk for the invite read more

Really yummy Taiwanese dessert. There is a nice seating area they have a lot of different toppings to choose from.

I was researching places for dessert when I was planning out my Vancouver trip. I decided to spend my last day in the city of Richmond to see what types of Asian foods were offered in the area. As someone who loves soy milk & tofu (as in i could eat it daily), I was so glad to come across this place that offered a different take on taiwanese type desserts. I ordered the signature soy pudding dessert which came with boba, sweet potato ball, taro ball. I ordered it for to-go to eat it at my hotel after dinner. The tofu pudding was silky and delicious. It was a really nice balance of sweetness. I really wish there was a place like this in the Bay Area or LA. On another note - I almost did not walk into the store because I saw the sign said closed. But I saw some people sitting inside so I decided to pop in. read more

SoyTalk - Take out - soy pudding and toppings - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Soy talk has been a dessert spot I've been wanted to try for the longest time! They specialize in soy based treats and offer ice cream, tofu pudding, soy milk and more. We ordered the grass jelly with soy milk dessert and it had SO MANY TOPPINGS! It came with QQ balls (sweet potato, taro, matcha), grass jelly, red bean, sago and a few of their signature red bean stuffed tapioca pearls. Overall, we enjoyed the dessert and it probably would have tasted much better warm. The grass jelly was fresh and the QQ balls were chewy. Our only complaint would be that we left our dessert in the fridge for a while so the red bean stuffed pearls were hard in texture. We aren't sure if this was because they were in the fridge or if they were this way but we weren't a fan. We tried to heat it up to see if the temperature was impacting it but it was not the case. read more

This is more of a 3.5 review but I'm rounding it down because I left feeling a little unsatisfied. We found this place through yelp and was interested as it was soy based desserts. The interior is very cute and what you get is also super cute. We got the original soft serve and Oreo soft serve. Both definitely has the soy taste that you get when you drink unsweetened soy milk. It's grainy and not too creamy. The Oreo didn't really do much to the soft serve as the soy was overpowering. It took a really long time to get our dessert even though we were the only ones there. The menu description also didn't reflect what we got and also the yelp pictures from other yelpers were different as well. Not sure if they just use what they had on hand? Overall, cute place and it was good to try but not something I would go back read more

Lactose intolerant humans, rejoice! My order: Brown Sugar Taro Soy Drink: Taro balls were very soft & chewy, and the brown sugar isn't too overpowering or sweet. Oreo Soy Ice Cream was creamy (but still a little icy compared to traditional ice cream), and low sweetness as well. It's their regular soy milk ice cream (not Oreo flavoured) - just Oreo crumbs sprinkled on top. Located in Parker Place in Richmond. read more

I enjoy eating unsweet ice creams, so when i tasted their signature soft soy ice cream I was delighted of how good it was, not so sweet yet smooth and a good alternative to those with lactose intolerance. We also had the signature pudding with additional toppings it was as well good love the brown sugar taste it just goes well with the pudding. The signature mochi was so soft and stretchy love eating it while its warm. I bought two of their bottled soya milk, the original flavour which I really liked it was not sweet yet creamy. The only one I did not like much is the matcha sponge cake, I think it does not have taste on it, not sure but I fined it bland and nothing special on it. Overall, they do have lots of awesome menu, clean and pretty decors, I'd love to try their hot soya drinks next time. read more

Was disappointed that they don't have ice cream today but not their fault. I tried several items they have and I'm not hating it but also not loving it. Only showing the cake cups and mochi but also ordered two drinks - taro soy and also green bean soy - It was my first time trying it out, and perhaps my expectations were set too high since I love soy products but it was really "meh". I feel like recipes are off... some of them are WAYYYYYYY too sweet, and some of them have no flavour what so ever. read more

I've been wanting to try their soy-based ice cream and I was awed upon discovering how many items they offer! They have some cakes, pudding, mochi, and even toasts! I ended up ordering their original ice cream and the cake-in-a-tin (original flavour) item. The flavours were quite similar - strongly soy-taste. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to let go of my understanding of an ice cream - I shouldn't expect a creamy taste nor a creamy, smooth texture - it's based on soy and not milk, and that makes a lot of difference =) The texture was closer to that of an icy sorbet, grainy to a point.The soy floss helped bring some variety and contrast in the texture and flavour, but again... don't expect a rich creamy flavour. It added a nice little crunch to the experience though! I think those who prefer their ice cream not too sweet would like their ice cream as well, as it wasn't too sugary, and it felt healthy/guilt-free having it! The staff was nice and the store was bright and clean. There was some soft music playing which added to the 'chill' feel of the store. read more

I'd love to say that this place is a super cute hidden gem in Richmond. Having a non-dairy (soy based) soft serve/dessert place around town is something you don't often see and it's great for those who are vegan or have any food sensitivities. The decoration is wonderful inside and the way they serve it to customers is quite attracting. I've given it two stars because I just felt like the taste wasn't there. It just felt really bland and it didn't have the sweetness you would think a soft serve needs. read more

We needed a place to relax while the parents were shopping at Parker Place. My bro-in-law spotted this place which looks fairly new and intriguing. A dessert shop dedicated to all things soy! Soy Milk, Soy Pudding, Soy Custard, Soy Mochi, etc. It will definitely be on the healthier side of the dessert spectrum, provided you don't go overboard with toppings. Despite just coming back from a great, but filling dim sim lunch at Yue we decided to squeeze in room for dessert. The Steamed Soy Custard seems to be the better of the two desserts. Soft, fluffy and warm soy custard with just a hint of sweetness topped by marble-sized, chewy boba. Simple and good. The Black Sesame Soy Pudding smelled great but I would say its more of an acquired taste. The texture is sticky and slimy, and us engineers may call it viscoelastic - exhibiting properties of a solid and liquid, depending on the situation. Good black sesame power (which I loved), but man that funky texture is not for me. Note they had some issues with US Amex credit cards, but they do take cash and WeChat pay. I can see myself coming back for soy milk, but maybe pass on the puddings! read more

Overall, I had a great experience at Soytalk. The service was excellent, and the café was decorated nicely and had a great ambiance. Soytalk serves a healthy alternative to traditional dairy-based desserts! The desserts here are so cute and taste yummy too. If you're a fan of soy, I think you would love Soytalk but if not, it's probably not for you (since their desserts have a very prominent soy flavor). read more

I normally don't drink or eat much soy milk/products, but am always open to trying it out especially when it involves soft serve! I was eager to try out the black sesame flavor and the mango ones, but they were out. I had a swirl of the original and matcha flavor. The texture was a bit more coarse and not as smooth as I would like it, however, you can definitely tell it its soy base and the flavor is there. I liked the larger brown sugar boba that came with the soft serve. I haven't had that kids d of boba where there's a piece of red bean in the middle. I also had some of the signature soy pudding and the brown sugar one. Both of them were pretty tasty. The person helping us was very friendly and also let me sample the flavors they had available, which was helpful. read more

First time trying this place out, and I like it. They have some unique stuff like Soy milk soft serve (but its kind of like soy milk ice, rather than a creamy base). They also have red-bean filled boba. Pretty cool. and also bean curd floss instead of a pork floss. Their tofu pudding and soy milk looks legit too, but had to save it for next time read more

A good place for tofu dessert lovers. They do a wide range of tofu sweet soups and even shaved ice. I got mine to go due to covid, and the tofu was silky, soft and flavourful. The rice balls that came with it was slightly chewy. Everything was just the right amount of sweetness. It doesn't look like a lot of food when they're in the containers, but it's actually enough for two people. They have a good decor inside the store too, and a great place to meet with friends outside of a cafe. read more

My friend is lactose so Soytalk seemed to be a good choice for some healthy dessert and drinks! I have been to Soytalk a couple of times and I know a lot of their items seem very naturally flavoured, not too sweet. With the pandemic, we wanted to order everything to go. Their staff was super nice and supportive. My friend didn't really want to leave the car and so the staff actually remember both our orders and came to pass our items through the car window when it was ready. I was amazed that they were so accommodating! Their takeout packaging was super cute! My favourite was their Soy Mochi and I was worried it wouldn't be as fresh/gooey compared to having it to go but it was still just as soft and stretchy as always. We also order their Signature Soy Milk which had the BIGGEST boba pearls I had ever seen. Their desserts were not too sweet, healthy and overall had a good time still. read more

Came here after hearing about this place on Instagram. Was excited to try their red bean pearl toppings and their soy soft serve. We ended up ordering a house soy pudding, original soy milk, and a vanilla soft serve. All three of these included the red bean pearls, which was a plus. The soft serve was more on the icy side but I found it refreshing and still creamy enough, so it is my favourite of the three things we ordered. I'd like to come back to try their matcha. For their soy milk, I actually have had better soy milk elsewhere, although the pearls were a very nice touch. The pearls are better enjoyed warm and chewy- as soon as they get colder then the outside becomes kind of hard and not as nice. Finally, the soy pudding as not sweet enough for me, but you do get a LOT in a bowl and we were pretty full after finishing. I would probably come back to try their flavoured soy milk options and their soft serve again. read more

Cool concept but I wasn't a fan of the things we purchased. Oreo soy milk just tasted like..soy milk. The server said it was sweet but it literally had no flavor other than basic unsweetened soy milk. Partner got the black sesame soy milk ice cream and it just tasted icy to me with a hint of black sesame. The ice cream is topped with some sort of granola. Overall, I was super excited to try this place and I'm glad I did so I won't wonder if it's good. read more

Also, their house-made crispy soy bean flakes adds a nice crunch to it, it totally completes the soft serve. read more

We were in Richmond on a rainy Wednesday night. We had dinner with my gf's family. After dinner my gf and I decided to go out for dessert.... it was rainy and pretty miserable out but we found SoyTalk. The store is pretty nice. Everything is branded and it has a clean "Western" appearance. Besides their soy based offerings SoyTalk has some toast food offerings. The toasts look tempting but we never got a chance to try them out (maybe next time). I had the signature soft serve... soy milk soft ice cream. My gf had the house special soy pudding. Overall, I liked it. The soy is high quality and tasty (but not too sweet). I hope this store makes it in the Vancouver market,but I am concerned that if soy desserts are your main offering can you survive? I'd recommend people give it a try....it's pretty good... probably more suitable in the Summer. read more

This place is perfect for lactose intolerant people! Soy Milk Soft Ice Cream with salty soy pulp/leftovers?, seaweed and chewy pearls ($5.50cad) was our fave! It had a strong soy milk taste! Quite refreshing! Matcha Soft Ice Cream with salty soy pulp/leftovers?, seaweed and chewy pearls. ($5.50cad) This wasn't our fave. Couldn't taste the matcha flavour and the texture was more like a shaved ice. Not as creamy as the soy milk ice cream. They sell soy milks, breads, panini, puddings as well. I would go back to try more of their menu items. Overall, it's not my fave place for dessert. I tried this place when they opened not too long ago, so I would give this place a second try. The ice cream tasted a bit weird. My friends and I didn't enjoy the soy pulp/leftover bits that was added on the ice cream, but I guess you can ask them to not add them if you also don't like that. read more

Wow I'm genuinely shocked about the low ratings this place has received! I came once at the suggestion of a friend and enjoyed it so much I returned the next night. I finally found a dessert shop where I can enjoy multiple servings of soft serve without feeling guilty because it's so light and the texture is ice cold and actually soft! I've tried the regular soy and the matcha and I prefer the matcha. Note that the two days I went the other two flavours were not available, one being black sesame. Which means I'll have to come back next time I'm home. The tofu pudding and soy milk are loaded with soy flavour (of course) but it's got enough of a kick at the end of each bite that it makes you want to dig your spoon in again for more. I enjoy that the desserts are paired with oversized tapioca (pearls) and of course syrup is served on the side. The soy milk is thicker in texture than I had expected so be prepared for more of a smoothie type drink. I've tried the regular and red bean soy milk and would recommend the red bean because it's more of a unique flavour. The cheese panini was also nicely done and pressed so tightly that its ingredients actually stayed intact! For someone who dislikes messy eating I really appreciated this. They did add a lot of additional things into the panini in addition to the what was listed on the menu so if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, you should communicate with them beforehand. I find that dessert shops don't always last long in Richmond because they are so pricey so I really hope this one does! read more

Honestly tasting the black sesame and green tea ice cream the first bite I'm like it's 2-3 stars. Before trying it I did have an idea of what I thought this ice cream would taste like, and it didn't meet that expectation. But upon eating it more I can understand the appeal in this dessert. Is it the yummiest ice cream I've had, no. But it is a great dairy alternative, it's very refreshing, and also is a healthier alternative to dessert. I'd imagine older folks would actually really enjoy this. Even though personally for me this isn't my first choice when it comes to dessert but I understand why it can be good for some people. Which is why I'll give it a 4. read more

SoyTalk - Classic soy soft serve with pork floss - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I didn't know soft serve could come in any other form until my friend told me about this place that claims to do soy-based soft serve. This seems to be a new little nook in the otherwise dying culture of Parker Place in Richmond. Upon entering, the space allowed for a decent amount of seating, and was very bright and airy. The only worker in the establishment quickly and efficiently took our orders and prepared the soft serves for our party of 3. Now to the most important part of this review. I honestly wanted to love it. Being asian, I am probably very mildly lactose intolerant, so it would have been nice to have a place that makes an alternative to dairy-based soft serve. This was not it. The soft serve was very icy which overpowered the mango flavour. It was so icy that even after deciding I would rather melt my dessert and drink it as a soy milk, it just did not melt, even after vigorous mixing. The dessert also had giant tapioca balls which were a little tough to chew on the inside. The dessert definitely needed some kind of sauce or sweetener like condensed milk or a brown sugar syrup to amp up the otherwise bland taste. For $5.50 pre-tax, it wasn't expensive, but it wasn't good. There are many better places to be spending your money on soft serve and personally would not be returning. If you are into VERY mildly sweetened desserts, this may be the place for you. read more
