What other bbt place has a reward program that isn't insanely stupid like coco (12 drinks 1 free)?bubble world is 8 for 1 free, tea wok is 9 for 1 free. | I recall CoCo was 12 drinks 1 free too.
However, I checked Belly last week....you need 65 points now. That's buy 13 before you get 1 free.

Anyone know when the Richmond will open? I asked them last week, they said "next" week. So should be anytime now...

Tried ShareTea the other day and it was pretty good. Kiwi with aiyu jelly, not bad not bad! I like it better than CoCo and Chatime.

A regular size (not small) at coco is like $5.40? Imagine how much you're paying just to get that one free.
Whereas, say, bubble world, i think it's like $4.25 and every 8 you get one free.
It's a huge difference if you ask me. Yeah yeah, I know I'm cheap.

I got my Chatime branded Vicinity card from the Richmond location and I redeemed my birthday one at the Burnaby location. But this still doesn't fully answer your question, maybe they will only accept it at the Burnaby location after all.

Yes, they are both BBT but different options

Dragon ball > everything - For BEST pearls, fruit drinks, green tea ice cream | I don't know what specialty drinks you're having a Chatime, but everytime I venture out of roasted milk tea it was extremely disgusting, wintermelon, chocolate mousse, taro, brown rice (although this could be made really good when more milk is added).
Not sure what the fuck you guys see in Coco, I tried their limited promotion roasted tea today and it was only slightly milkier than Chatime's roasted milk tea because they add a shit ton of milk powder in it, the taste of the tea wasn't that great and the overall execution was meh.
But looking at the general consensus here about bubble tea, it seems that most of you are concerned with flavours, ice cream, pearls, and milk and whatnot and not the actual TEA itself, so there really is no debate on a "favourite" as everyone wants different shit out of their bubble tea.
So based on the info gathered from this thread:
Shiny Tea: If you give a shit about having good quality TEA.
Coco: Overtly milky milk tea
Chatime: Roasted milk tea only
Dragonball: Ice cream and powdered flavours
Bubble World: Put all the sugar on everything X 2

Was my favorite place for a long time (still probably is) but I found the fresh fruit drinks to be way too sweet. I know I can always ask for less/no sugar but I found whatever amount they normally put in is just too much.
Want to try Coco here. Tried it in China since they're everywhere but I found it to be pretty disappointing compared to pretty much anywhere back in Van.
^Yeah that's pretty accurate from my experience. I've literally never heard anybody critique the quality of TEA in bubble tea before. I'm assuming nobody notices the difference since it's always masked heavily with other flavors and 90% of places probably don't even care too much about the tea.

I could not agree more -- all of Chatime's drinks outside of their milk teas & yogurt drinks are disgusting.

People only care about the flavouring so they won't bother paying attention to the tea. I think its just a western culture thing. Taiwanese places like Cha Tang Hui and Ten Ren really emphasizes on the tea and specializes on their milk teas rather than having a plethora of flavours in their menu like most places here.

I noticed on Fraser St at 41st there are three bubble tea places in a row... Green Leaf, Boba, and one other can't remember the name. Any of these worth visiting based on experience?
