Where's the best Bubble Tea in the Lower Mainland (B.C.)?

My Vote is for Oasis (Granvill and Arbutus)... they make the best Green Tea Ice Cream Bubble Tea!

Yum!

Just a note about Oasis: My gf and I went there in sept-oct 2005 and the owners have changed. It used to be our fav but we hadn't gone there in a while.

Anyways. This time we ordered our usual lychee and mango smoothie, and they had changed the mangos the use from fresh, to powder. And it was probably the worst tasting mango smoothie I've ever tasted. It didn't even taste like mango. More like really really faint taro.

Anyways, we went to complain and the girl who was working there took a taste of it and then declared that "this is mango." We're not going there anymore. There -is- a Pearl Fever open at UBC now though, so we just go there instead. Which, btw, is really good too - if you've been to their original Coquitlam store its about the same quality

I luv bbtea! Try out the following:
L & G at 41st and Granville...they have punch cards there...
Bubble Zone on Kingsway, near Boundary
Dragon Ball is an all time favourite too!

I would also recommend Crystal Mall's food court bubble tea/juice bar, I think it's called Paradise Juice or something. It makes a very tasty fruit shave ice too!

Estea has three locations I know of:
1. North Road in the plaza near Lougheed Mall.
2. on Kingsway in Burnaby (past Metrotown, heading towards New West, shouldn't miss it, it's on your left)
3. Richmond, near Alexandra Road if I'm not mistaken, I think it's near the Sheraton 4 Points hotel

My faves are:

Dragonball
Little Tea House

Both use fresh fruit, which I like. I refuse to drink 'fruit' ones at the rmd bbtea places cuz they for sure use powder.

I heard L&G is started by the ppl who used to work @ dragonball. And how someone there had ripped off Dragonball's recipe. So I guess that's why their stuff is so similar...

This place is new, and owner ship has been changed. Pearl milk tea is really good & Green tea slush.
