The Bubble Tea Shop

Came here before closing on a Friday night. It was busy! tried the special mango bubble waffle, regular matcha bubble waffle and milk tea with pearls. i was just a bit disappointed with the matcha as it didnt really have a special flavour to it! I would recommend bubble queen for matcha bubble waffle with mochi! Overall, a really chill place. Pretty yums.

I’ve always wanted to try bubble waffles in Canada so before going on my Canada trip, I looked up «bubble waffles» on Unilocal and Instagram.
The bbt shop bubble waffles immediately caught my eye because of how aesthetically pleasing the pictures looked. I showed my other friends and they wanted to try it as well.
The Bbt shop is fairly easy to find and is just below the «Superstore» in Richmond. Instead of serving the bubble waffles plain, they have a variety of different flavors such as strawberry or chocolate flavored bubble waffles. They also had different toppings for each flavor, including strawberries & cream and banana & whip cream. We ordered those two orders and they are presented very well. They are served on wooden boards and sprinkled with powered sugar. Essentially they make the presentation look like pancakes but with bubble waffles instead.
I wouldn’t recommend the bbt shop for the taste of the bubble waffles because my friends said they had better tasting bubble waffles in Canada. However, I would recommend it if you’re interested in eating bubble waffles in a new innovative way that isn’t offered in Seattle.

I am very disappointed at my experience here. I walked in with one person In the shop. Waited for a while. I was number 20. For some reason number 21 got their order first. I’m not sure why they had 5 employees working when everyone was just chatting. FINALLY. Someone acknowledged that I’ve been waiting for some time. Got my drink. Which was a lavender milk tea. Tasted Like a regular milk tea to me. It seems to me the business is slowing down a lot. My suggestion is maybe not close so early, who eats dessert so late? Probably not in Richmond.

Bubble tea, bubble waffles, a cube store, and a mini arcade, all rolled into one shop! This drool-​inducing, heavenly-​smelling café is located just underneath Superstore, in the parking level. I have fought off the urge to stop in for a decadent snack many a time before, but last weekend, I finally caved & decided to give them a try before a grocery run at Superstore.
With a dizzying array of drink & bubble waffle dessert choices (displayed on their TV screen menus), it was hard to decide what to get!
I wound up getting the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Pearls, and the savoury Bacon, Cheese & Fried Onion Waffle.
The drink was alright; flavour-​wise it tasted a little light, but that was probably because I had gotten it half-​sweet. Tea taste was not too strong; pearls were soft & chewy.
The bubble waffle arrived curved, served on a round wooden board. The savoury ingredients were baked into the individual bubbles of the bubble waffle. It was an interesting way to have bubble waffles, as I’ve only ever had bubble waffles with no filling, elsewhere. Judging from the photos of the sweet waffles, they look a lot fancier, so I’ll order a sweet one for a prettier photo next time!
Lots of parking available (covered/​uncovered), but spots may be hard to find when Superstore is busy, since the parking is shared.
Will be back again soon to try other bubble teas & bubble waffles. And maybe get some random cute knick knacks from the cube displays!

I loved my Super Mango Bubble Waffle. Despite mangoes no longer in season, the mangoes used had the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. The bubble waffle underneath it was nice and crispy despite having a lot of ice cream and mangoes on top of it, AND drizzled with sweet mango sauce. It was absolutely delish! The strawberry smoothie was also on par with my favourite bubble tea shops in vancouver where they are usually known for freshness. I highly recommend The Bubble Tea Shop. The only downfall and the reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was the 10 minutes we took trying to find the store. It’s actually located inside Superstore’s parking lot and in the corner may I add. The address alone will not help you find the store location, so I recommend parking inside the parking lot of Superstore and I’m sure you’ll see it right there.

This is a case of the photos living up to expectations. I had heard so many great things about the Bubble Tea Shop and was thrilled to finally visit it. I shared their Super Mango Bubble Waffle (seasonal) which came loaded with mango chunks, mango ice cream and whipped cream. I was a bit surprised at how crispy the waffle was when it came out. Much more than I normally like, however, as I ate into the dessert, I quickly realized why. By the time we were close to finishing the bubble waffle, it had turned into a bit of a soggy mess. I really enjoyed all the mangoness of the dessert. I also picked up a taro bubble tea with mini pearls. Nothing too extraordinary about that. Just the typical fare (at a higher price point than other bubble tea places), but it’s interesting that you can get mini pearls on the weekends. Ask for a stamp card if you think you’ll be back!

Egg waffles in Richmond Vancouver
Review: ⁷⁄₁₀
Price:CA10
The Mango is fresh and sweet
The egg waffle is crispy and soft. I think it is too cold in egg layer.
It is a good place to chat with your friends.#foodie#vancouver#richmond#eggwaffle#thebubbleteashop#foodoftheday#foodadverture#foodblogger#hkig#foodtraveler#食評家#相機食先

Hmmm… the presentation of the bubble waffles are soooo pretty and very eye catching, however, they are only something nice to look at but not to eat with…

My second time here and trying out more than enough of their drinks. Still no bubble waffles, though I was somewhat tempted to try their apple crumble since I’m a sucker for any apple flavored treats.
We got 3 of their top 10 drinks, which were the Moo Moo Frappé (#1), Green Tea Matcha ice cream Supreme with Red bean (#10), and the Trio Triad (#5). Lastly, we decided to get a Mango Avocado Real Fruit Slush. Weirdly, I just realized their top drinks aren’t listed on the paper menu so the names above were just what I remembered reading on the display screen. However, if you go by the number, it’s correct. Can you tell I’m good with number? :P
All were pretty good, but I didn’t like the Trio Triad (roasted milk tea?) which was pretty bland and the pearls were definite under-​cooked. Sadly they couldn’t make me a drink-​version of their apple crumble bubble waffle.

The concept of fancy bubble waffles is genius. We need one of these in nor cal.
I initially stopped in Richmond at the Superstore for some ketchup chips (damn you, America) and when this came up on my Unilocal,I couldn’t pass it up. The store itself was kind of hard to find since it’s downstairs tucked away in the corner of the parking lot.
My cousin and I shared a banana crème brûlée bubble waffle and a passion fruit green tea. The combination of the carmelized bananas, whip cream and bubble waffle was heavenly.

Small shop located around the market. I wanted to try the dessert egg waffle but was too full. Went for the original egg waffle alone, crispy outside, soft inside, perfect :) I ordered the popular grapefruit green tea which contains actual grapefruit in it. Very refreshing. I’m glad I got 50% sugar bc it was perfectly sweetened to my liking. I want to come back to try the dessert!

Not gonna lie. We came for the bubble waffles and it was pretty darn yummy. We got the super mango, which is a mango-​yogurt chip bubble waffle topped with mango ice cream, mango chunks, mango sauce, and whipped cream. It was the most intense mango experience ever. Other than the bubble waffle being a little dense, it was a delicious treat!
They have a list of flavors for their bubble waffles alone, including matcha, black sesame, and yogurt, and chocolate. Then there are deluxe flavors and premium ones– those are the ones topped with stuff. There are also add-​ons, like ice cream ($ 2– a little much in my book), nutella, fruit. so you can make-​your-​own bubble waffle dessert.
Even though this is a bubble tea shop, there are also teas and espresso-​based drinks, which is great for the non-​milk tea crowd who want to indulge in bubble waffle goodness. There is also complimentary ice water with lemon and hot water by the coffee fixins’ bar.
A cute, minimalistic shop with lots of textures (stripes on the counter and punched out holes in the chairs). Bright screens with menu items make it easy to read if you’re in line. Only crappy thing is that the wifi is super slow and kept kicking me off before connecting, which sucked cuz I was relying on wifi all day.
Totally want to try the s’mores or rocky road bubble waffle next time!

Every time I visit Superstore I am tempted by the intoxicating sweet smells of bubble waffle and finally the day came when I couldn’t hold it back and tried this place out with my girlfriend.
Instantly drawn to the warm sweet smells and the white interior of the shop, I perused the menu displayed on a TV screen of various bubble waffle options from Red Velvet to Oreo to Supreme Matcha to Nutella Banana and more… but I opted for an item off TV menu — on a piece of paper, a special option — the Super Mango Bubble Waffle! I also ordered an Earl Grey Milk Tea.
Before sitting down, I helped myself to some fruit infused water — always a fresh touch. After waiting for about 10 minutes, our drinks were ready. I was a little sad the Earl grey milk tea wasn’t as Earl grey as I wished. It wasn’t as milky as I wanted either. A little disappointed to say the least. However, my friend ordered a drink with pearls and she said the pearls were chewy and sweet.
Finally the pièce de résistance, our supermango bubble waffle came. It was presented very beautifully on a wooden board, we took our time having a nice food photo-​shoot with it. It was a mango bubble waffle with a mound of fresh, semi-​tart mangos, whipped cream, sweet creamy mango ice cream and topped off with mango syrup and powdered sugar. It was major mango madness people. The bubble waffle was more of a cakey texture and not the chewy egg waffle I like. However, with all the toppings it felt like a cake dessert to me. Lots of great flavours but sad the bubble waffle wasn’t as good as I hoped for.
Overall, a little pricey but a creative taste-​plosion option for your bubble waffle cravings.
Note: Parking is hectic for the under cover spots, opt for the open space parking for hassle free parking. They have 2 tables to eat outside as well. They also sell unique and interesting Asian toys and goods, which are displayed in a glass case outside their window. Washroom (just one) is big and clean. Staff were friendly too!

Great bubble tea and bubble waffle spot underneath the superstore. This place may not have the most amazing bubble tea or most amazing bubble waffles out there. But they are still tasty.
Their outstanding thing is their premium bubble waffles, which are served with belgian waffle style toppings: ice cream, fresh fruit, chocolate syrup, etc. This is the only place I know that does this. Their bubble waffles are nice and crunchy on the outside while still being soft and chewy on the inside. They have various fruit and asian flavors for the bubble waffles.
EXCELLENT
* Mango Supreme Bubble Waffle — Lots of super fresh and sweet mangoes heaped on top of mango ice cream on top of the waffle. Delicious.
GOOD
* Strawberry Cheesecake Bubble Waffle — Strawberries were pretty fresh and cheesecake was solid. Didn’t quite stand out as much as the mango, and the small cheesecake bites were a bit more difficult to scoop up.

A very cool place with loud pop music located in center of richmond. Also I found the hidden menu from Unilocal picture — (its not on the their menu) supreme matcha ice cream and bubble waffle with cream and strawberry. Very yummy !! If you are a matcha fans like me. You should definitely try it.
Drink — #1 Moo moo milk tea (milk frappuccino with vanilla ice cream, pudding and pearl) nothing special, but will come back next time and try sth else: D

The bubble waffles here are alright. We ordered the ferrero rochet, plain and black sesame. While the appearance and presentation were 5* the taste unfortunately was not. The rochet did taste really good but there was a large amount of marshmallow to chocolate ratio which ruined the effect. The black sesame didn’t have anything special, and tasted almost exactly the same as the bubble waffle. Would I go back? Probably, but that’s cuz I love bubble waffles

The shop is not that big, and it was packed when we arrived, and packed when we left. It’s nice and clean with glass displays of little trinkets for people to purchase.
The bubble waffles with specialized toppings is a unique thing for this little shop to serve up. I had the Rocky Road, I believe. I think my boyfriend ordered the triple decker, I could be wrong. Mine was incredibly sweet, but I guess that is something to be expected from a chocolate syrup marshmallow covered egg waffle. His was lighter and more refreshing.
I ordered a taro bbt, which was not made from fresh taro and was not spectacular.
Would go again to try something different on the menu for sure.

If I could, 3.5 stars.
When my friend posted beautiful photos of egg waffles on her Facebook, I was intrigued! Despite mixed review on Unilocal I decided to give it a try.
All the waffles are made to order and soon they are made they are placed on a cooling rack made of mason jars to curl them into the shape we see online.
The original waffle (@$ 3.75) was crispy on the outside and chewy inside which is what egg waffles should be, and it’s not too sweet.
The taro milk tea (@$ 4.75) on the other hand, which I’ve requested to be half sweet and easy ice was out of this world sweet. In the case that the shop was busy (which it was) and the order was not made correctly, then I forgive. However do keep in mind your drink may be on the sweeter side. The pearls had nice chewiness to them and I liked them.
What we can appreciate about this spot, is that based on a very traditional Hong Kong dessert concept, BBT gave it a new twist by adding Belgian waffle toppings on top, presenting the dessert in an aesthetically pleasing fashion while pricing it in a comparable fashion to Nero’s Belgian Waffle.
It’s nice that we have another confection spot in Richmond with a niche on egg waffles.
Cheerio!

I have to admit that I got lured in because of all the beautiful photos on Instagram.
We got the red velvet combo,
It is very photogenic with beautiful plating ideas…
It’s definitely worth trying if you never had any egg bubble waffles before.
But, somehow I still dig the original way of eating them in a paper bag more… instead of trying to chop them apart with fork and knife.
The drinks here are quite nice, and parking is never a problem.

The premium bubble waffles here are pretty good and there’s a wide variety of flavours to choose from. We had the Rocky Road, which came with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, roasted marshmallows and pecans.
The premium toppings went quite well with the bubble waffle and we felt that everything really complemented the crunchy texture of the dessert. The bubble waffle itself was made with top-​quality ingredients and had the perfectly crispy exterior with a soft fluffy interior! This is definitely authentic bubble waffle that’s comparable to the ones you can find in Hong Kong.
