Bubble World

Went for a late night treat with my boyfriend! I’ve been coming to this location for just over 10 years now and have never had a bad experience.
Staff are always friendly and knowledgable, they also have very good tea suggestions to first time customers.
This location has been re-​modeled at least 3 times in the last decade and currently looks it’s best. It’s casual but classy at the same time, has a very open and clean look and feel.
Only place I will ever get bubble tea from because their fruit is fresh and not powder and the pearls and jelly are made fresh every day and not from a jar like 99% of places in Vancouver. If it’s your first time trying bubble tea I would highly suggest this establishment, You will not be disappointed!

First off, it is next to impossible to find a close parking spot during busy hours; however, if you come later you can find a spot somewhat close by. OK, so, I ordered the Ferrero Rocher slush with pearls, and it was almost flavourless, the only thing I could taste was a faint hint of hazelnut that tasted nothing like Ferrero Rocher nor did it taste like Ferrero Rocher bubble tea I have had at other places in the area.
The service was fast and efficient, though, and the prices were reasonable.
One last thing, although significant, is that they do not accept credit or debit — cash only. Which always seems shady in this day and time. Like, are you trying to hide your actual business income?

Decided to stop by here at about 11pm at night. I decided to go with the fresh oreo slush. YUM.
Was pretty fast
decent choices
busy. tons of people hanging out.
price isn’t too bad
you get a stamp card leading to a free one
Parking can suck!

The guy that took our order was super nice. I asked for extra pearls in my drink (2 scoops) and he gave them to me, but then a 2^nd guy made the drink and took out half the pearls. I asked him if it had extra pearls because that’s what I asked for and he said yes, this has extra pearls. I guess he didn’t know that I saw him take them out…

Don’t come here around 8pm… The teenagers are so loud you want them to go back to the womb.

The mango ice cream is so much better than just regular mango. Forget what I said about regular mango… mango ice cream is the future. It comes out to $ 4.99 with pearls…
They have a stamp card and they offered me a stamp without me having to remind them.

Been coming here for a while now, the bubble tea is ok, I usually go down to Milk and Sugar Café now though because they are cheaper and the portions are bigger (not to mention its fresher and tastier too!). The only thing that keeps me coming back here is the Passion Fruit and/​or Mango Red Teas and the Peach Green Tea, which I find that Milk and Sugar doesnt do as well. They are cash only here and they have stamp cards which is a bonus. I also like the sofas for sitting, which is more comfortable than the wooden chairs usually taken up by customers anyways. I almost always come here at night and its usually always filled with high school kids. BBW should step up their game and add $ 2 bubble tea specials, maybe then I will decide to come back. Will definitely return but only for the above mentioned teas.

The typical «fast food» Boba joint in Vancouver. Nothing really special, but they do have specials of the week here for boba.
The décor here is lacking, and the terrible seating are just a bore. This place hasn’t changed its seats, the chairs, the tables or the décor since they opened like years ago.
I would come here only for late nigh boba, and a group of friends to just satisfy hunger. The price of it is not heavy and the dishes are big enough to satisfy a night of cravings with boba.
Always packed and there is always a line up, come early or come in a small group of 4 or less for easy seating.

COFFEE MILK TEA WITH BOBBA HERE I COME!
Another place to have a nice cold drink on any random day.
This place is set up as a regular bobba place. a good quiet place to study. I am not sure of their free wifi, prices ranges from 2.75 to 5 bucks make sure you bring cash.
Not as fancy but its still nice inside located on a strip might missed if you dont pay attention!

One of the go to bubble tea places for me.
Good bubble tea, the pearls a good — which I feel a true sign of quality in bubble tea places. However it is a little out of the way, so I dont frequent the place as much as I want to.

This is one of the original bubble tea places and is a franchise. I used to frequent here a lot when I lived closer to the area, but since moving prefer other places. The bubble tea I have to say is very consistent. My favourite is the regular bubble milk tea with pearl with ice cream. OMG TDF. However, it was pricey. Whereas at L&G on Fraser & 41^st, they make this drink with the ice cream blended for $ 3. Needless to say, I don’t come to bubble world much anymore. The service was ok, but I found it very strange that every time I would call, they would double check that I did not mistake them for the Metrotown one. That got kind of annoying, but I guess they had a lot of confused people at one time.

I never give 1 star. I never really write reviews. But I just got a hyper smug waitress who, after I enquired about the crazy $ 1 extra just for pearls, started talking to me like I was an idiot, and proceeded to tell me that every place in yvr was that $$ (so not true). To put the icing on the cake, my friend had gotten 10 stamps and was redeeming his free bbt, to which she flat out said they don’t honor stamps anymore. My friend said there was nothing written on the stamps saying they could do that, but she kept saying they made the announcement already months ago. My total for bbt was $ 5.32. I can get the same at l&g on Granville & 41^st for $ 3.25 (granted I’m VIP there, but that’s the heir version of the stamps). Long story short I’m giving 1 star cause their bubble tea rocked.

I went to this «franchise-​like» bubble tea joint, to pick up a regular milky tea. This is one of the original locations that I often come to, and it is one of the more convient ones. No little chinese snacks, just strictly drinks at this location, unlike the one up the block near Metrotown.
Acouple points that I have deducted, and they are very minimal, to people who have gone to Bubble World over the years, they do not accept the stamp card anymore. So any drinks you were expecting to get for free from your filled up cards will have to go to the garbage. Also they still are a «Chinese» place, which means = CASH ONLY.
They did renovate this location, and there is free Wi-​Fi internet, so a minor plus. Other than that, it’s still the old Bubble World that I have grown up on.
