    The Bubble Tea Shop has reasonable prices, good drinks and friendly staff. I walked by all the time and didn't know this tea shop existed until a friend suggested we get a drink. It's located in the northwest section of the parking right under Superstore. Lots of free parking in the covered parkade. Notice they also offered desserts like waffles but we full so only ordered drinks. Beside bubble/fruit tea, they also offer hot teas and coffee. There were so many options for drinks and can be overwhelming. We narrowed down to our favourite fruits (mango and strawberry) and took it from there. We will be back for dessert and try a different drinks. The shop is big and has good seating. They also stuff animals and other Asian collectables and toys.

    Was intrigued by their Supreme mango drink so decided to make a final stop here before heading to the airport. It was good but I wouldn't say it's particularly memorable. I enjoyed the combination of mango smoothie and fresh mango chunks. The scoop of mango ice cream was hard to slurp through the straw. Also seems like they add coconut milk since there's a white layer on the bottom that added a nice sweetness to the drink. The store is located in the same parking lot as HK BBQ Master except it's even more hidden all the way in the back corner. There are several tables with chairs and they sell clothes, plushies and figurines as well.

    Cute shop that's K-Pop themed! I ended up with a pineapple shaped cup (cute!) but I struggled getting all the jelly stars and stuff outta my cup. A little pricier, but I got a bunch of extra BTS items since I apparently went on BTS Day.

    We wanted to end our trip to BC with a bubble tea drink. Since we've come to this place on previous trips, we decided to swing by this shop. Not sure why, but this visit was a little disappointing. The shop was staffed by just a couple of young ladies. So it looked like they were understaffed. We ordered several drinks and a couple of bubble waffles. There were a couple of other customers ordering before us and they were substantial orders. But it looked like there wasn't any urgency to fill those orders. It took well over an hour for us to get our drinks. When we got the drinks they were poorly made and the bubble waffles were subpar. I guess if you take that long to make drinks or food, they should at least be good. Not sure what happened. I know they were understaffed. But there was no recognition on their part that anything was wrong like "sorry for the wait" only a slow plodding along. Maybe they weren't happy about working on a Friday night or just having a bad night. I don't like giving bad reviews, but TBH this is what this is. I'll probably come back to give them another chance; but I will think twice about it. :/

    The Bubble Waffles were great. Great taste, crispy yet soft. Fruit was fresh and overall wasn't too sweet. The drinks were okay, the periwinkle is interesting, def not something I've seen at other stores since it's fizzy. Lots of options to buy many cute things in the shop. Like keychains, squshies, etc. Wish the staff knew the drinks better to be able to answer questions instead of having to ask another person.

    When we ordered the savoury egg waffle and the roasted milk tea with aloe vera, the server misheard us several times as we customized both the drink and the waffle. We spoke clearly and it seemed that she did not listen. The roasted milk tea was not roasted; it tasted like green milk tea or diluted original milk tea. Also, the egg waffle was broken in the bag upon receipt and this showed the inferior quality. It was not consisted of eggs. It was not yellow and it tasted like flour. We also could not taste the customized savoury ingredients because they were minimal in the waffle. It was not an egg waffle at all. We went back to the server and asked her if she gave us the wrong drink because it did not taste like roasted milk tea. She said it was made with half oolong tea and half assam tea. Then she offered to make us another drink so we told her we wanted original milk tea without pearls with less ice and no sugar. However, she gave us the milk tea with pearls and with a lot of ice with a smile. Then, she and the other co-worker went to hide in the back kitchen immediately. That was not nice. We left the drink on the counter and we left. P.S. The splinter from the wooden fork hurt my sister's finger as she used the fork. They obviously do not care about customers.

    We had two great drinks at the bubble tea shop to enjoy with our Chinese BBQ. Mango Mojito and Taro Milk tea with boba. Both were delicious and we go again. Kind of a funky shop full of all sorts of tchotchke. Service can take a bit of time, but both drinks were tasty.

    I stopped by here for bubble tea recently. The shop has quite a bit of nice Japanese toys and accessories. They have an extensive menu and the prices seem quite reasonable. I tried their Grapefruit bubble tea with pearls. It was good overall.

    Original bubble waffle w/ milk tea mochi $7, There was quite a bit of mochi filling which was pretty chewy, I do wish the milk tea flavor was stronger though! The waffle itself had the crispy edges with the soft centre as well, however it did get cold fairly easily. Overall it's not bad but I would prob just get it without mochi! Red velvet parfait $10: One red velvet bubble waffle w/ brownies, whipped cream, ice cream, cornflakes, and cheesecake bites - this was huge! My friend had this & it was pretty good although it does get very very sweet towards the end. Lots of creamy and crunchy textures in this treat! Yakult green tea, $5.25, 7.5/10: Light & refreshing with a sweet and tangy taste! The sugar is fixed since it's yakult but it was at the right level of sweetness since the green tea flavoring was added even though I didn't taste it much. A good pairing with the waffle! I haven't been here since 2019 and everything still looks the same! The bubble tea shop does get quite busy after 8pm for their dine in and take out orders on a Friday night, so I waited about 10 minutes for these. The place has around 6-7 tables which can get a little tight when the shop is at full capacity. Overall prices are pretty standard and it's a chill place to hangout for bbt/dessert!

    Dude, the bubble tea/bubble waffle game in the Richmond/Vancouver area is SERIOUS. So serious, that a cop laughingly told us " We have more boba tea shops than Starbucks locations here" as we were looking for this bookmarked location. Look for the Super Store, head towards the parking area, and you will pass HK BBQ Master, (another noteworthy stop!) and you'll ultimately find this location at the far end. Entering the shop, you'll see all kinds of toys for sale and pictures of their bubble waffle and drink creations plastered all over which may confuse you, especially if it's your first time here. After workers had mentioned their popular items and personal favorites, I kept eyeing the picture of the Mango Supreme, a limited seasonal special so I went with that adding boba, and skipping out on a bubble waffle because we were planning to hit up that HK BBQ spot we passed earlier. It must've been mango season here because I LOVED my drink! Mango slush with mango pudding with boba topped with mango ice cream and more fresh mango.YUM!!! I wish I knew what kind of mango it was, because it was so soft and sweet with a deep egg yolk color. (Alfonso Mango maybe???) From that point on, I made sure to order anything mango on any menu. It's great that they have other locations because maybe next time we'll try a bubble waffle creation. This place must be very popular, because when we left, ther wasn't any empty seats! ALOHA!!! SHAKA METER: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5

    Saw this place as I was walking by it to go to HK BBQ Master. Plenty of parking in the garage and outdoor lots. We got there right when it opened! The store also has cuts little stuffed animals, key chains, and other small toys they sell. It makes for cute decor. They have TV screens for you to look at the menu. We decided on an original HK egg waffle (condensed milk with peanut butter) and a Matcha Egg Wafe Ice Cream Parfait. The food took a little while to be made. She brought out our desserts, and they were beautiful. Very instagram worthy. I do wish the egg waffles themselves were a little warmer, as it seemed they sat there for a while. But nonetheless, they were still delicious. I love peanut butter and condensed milk together, and the waffle itself had good flavor. Especially the matcha egg waffle. You could really taste the matcha. The parfait was delicious. And even though I was super full, I still kept eating. The strawberries that came with the parfait were sweet. The cornflakes were all the way at the bottom, and it was pretty hard to get out. I would prefer if they sprinkled it on there, or layered it a little better. The red bean was tasty (even though I'm not a huge red bean fan). They also have free water at the side with the other utensils. As well as free wifi. This place was a nice surprise. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in Vancouver!

    There's cool variety of drinks and waffle desserts here. Along with food and drinks, the have a cool BTS theme throughout the place, such as selling BTS products, in addition to small toys, models and plush. The staff are very attentive and helpful, however there tends to be a wait to get the order or services.

    Mango Cheesecake Bubble Waffle ($9.75+tax)
    Mandy T.

    Everytime I shop at Superstore, I have a craving to stop by and get one of their waffles (since they are located in the Superstore parking lot). The waffles smell and taste great! Depending on the topping you get, it can get pricey though. I've tried: Mango Cheesecake bubble waffle - Super filling with the cubes of cheesecake but I found the cheesecake too heavy and didn't add anything to enhance the dessert. The fresh mangoes and waffle went well together though. Cookies and Cream bubble waffle - My favorite so far, love the cream cheese dip it comes with and the oreo cookie crumble on top. I have yet to try their BBT. They look really pretty and you can get 2 flavors if you want in 1 cup. But after the waffles, getting a BBT too would be too much sugar for my body to handle! Oh, they are also a cube shop and have an old school arcade game at the back which keeps the kiddies and some adults entertained while waiting in line / eating in.

The dining space is small but the decoration inside makes you feel like you transported to a different country. Marshmallow Thick Toast 4/5 The toast was about an inch thick, well toasted outside with a pillowy soft center. There's some melted chocolate on the bottom that added to the smores vibe. The marshmallows on top weren't very thick, so it melted to an even layer with perfect browning. The toast was cut into 9 pieces so it can be shared but given the portion I think 1-2 people would be fitting for this dessert. We weren't too hungry, so we shared amongst 4. Jasmine Tea Jelly 4/5 I really liked how fragrant the jelly was and that the jelly was a softer jelly that reminds you of Aiyu jelly. The after taste was a bit bitter but I feel like that tells me it was brewed and made and not just bought to serve. It's served with a splash of half and half I believe. To-Go I wanted to try and compare all the tea flavored jellies they had, Jasmine, Oolong and Earl Grey Tea Jelly. Packaged with small packets of the half and half to add later. The best was OOLONG 5/5- it had a slight roasted tea flavor that was refreshing and comforting at the same time. What you would want from a milk tea. Second best was Jasmine - fragrant and less bitter than the one I had in restaurant, typical jasmine flavor that's lightly floral and not too heavy Earl Grey 3/5 - it was good if you like earl grey like me, but it has an intensely strong fragrance and flavor that might be off-putting if you're not used to the taste. It was by far the strongest floral taste and smell of the three. I'd definitely be back to get these to go, they carry well and you can cross borders with them :)

We stopped by at lunchtime at first, but they weren't open yet. Since we really wanted to try it, we called again in the evening to confirm their hours before heading back--and we're so glad we did. The service was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly patient and took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food did not disappoint. All the Taiwanese snacks we tried were delicious and full of authentic flavors. Our absolute favorite was the shaved ice--it was refreshing, perfectly textured, and just amazing! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for genuine Taiwanese food and warm, attentive service. Definitely a 5-star experience!

It was fun to eat on the tatami mats in the back - we got the whole space to ourselves since we came on a weekday. Note that the sets come in 2 and whatever tea you choose is for both people. The set was unique and very filling - it came with a mini unagi rice bowl, matcha yogurt with berries, sweet corn custard, 2xnigiri, and hojicha cake, etc. Their menu changes every few months though so best to check their Instagram to see what's new. Warning: Parking on the lot is 1.5hrs only for the whole day and they are strict and will ticket you - this includes if you are running errands earlier in the day in the same lot and had left and returned. Safer to park in the farther lot for 3hrs of free parking.

The matcha drinks and desserts were beautifully presented and tasted rich and authentic, with that deep, fragrant matcha flavor that's never too sweet.

We asked every time when they will have hojicha ice cream back and staff doesn't know either. Hojicha Chestnut Shortcake, Cake is soft and fluffy, and very too sweet. It is always my favorite. This time i gave a 4 stars is because they discontinue serving Onigiri ( rice ball) and savory item. That's too bad! I love their Onigiri and ramen! Staff said the one inside the open road Toyota still has savory item. Maybe next time I will try that location

The decorations are dated and they have a couch and TV riiiiight behind the ordering counter, lol. God bless the Chinese uncle that owns and runs the place... he and the lady taking the order barely spoke English, so we stumbled with our Mandarin. I think they even spoke Taiwanese with each other?!? Instead of ordering multiple drinks, we just ordered the one mango lover's coconut pudding. Honestly, we didn't know what the heck we ordered and we ordered it to go. It took a little while to prepare, but when it came we were presented with a coconut wrapped in cellophane. We were intrigued and had to open it right then and there. We were treated to a coconut FILLED with fresh mango, mochi, and pudding... all in a fresh coconut - the coconut meat was thin, so you knew it was juicy and fresh! My oldest kid did his best to claim it all for himself as we all wanted a taste. In the end, we did the only thing logical and had to order a second.
