Shiny Tea – International Village - Vancouver, British Columbia

Good bubble tea place if you are looking for less sugary. Pearls and jelly are consistent and bouncy with a good firmness. Drinks are made on order so depending on staffing it can take a while. Friendly staff if you consider they how focus ... they are on producing the orders. It's slow, but then again not everything needs to be rushed Read more

Great place to hang out with friends after school. Wish this was here back when I went to school at VCC. Their sugar level is less compared to chatime, so not as sweet. If you ask for 25% sweet here, you can't taste a hint of sweetness. Their signature panda ... drink is great for photos with black and white pearls but seriously pearls all taste the same Read more

I came here for the Taiwanese tea gelato this time. I had their bubble tea before. Their menu has a wide variety of drinks and options. Sometimes I feel I don't know what to choose and what to drink. However, I usually stick with the basic ... item - original milk tea with pearls or grass jelly. I tried their gelato this time. It was good or above average. It was gelato, so I could not expect it was as smooth, soft and milky as the ice cream. I liked the tea flavour with the caramel sauce. It did not cost extra if I added a sauce, but it cost extra when I added pearls or any other items. The price of a large gelato was around $5 plus GST. The portion looked big, but just like what other reviews have listed here, the middle part of the gelato was empty. It was a big empty hole in the cup, so it was not a lot of gelato indeed. It was a special treat, but if I had to pay $5, I would rather eat a scoop of ice cream with a waffle cone at Earnest Icecream. :) I may come back here for drinks, but not the gelato next time.

Bright lights, colorful decorations, and big TVs. Wide variety of drinks to choose from, the staff was helpful in helping to choose drinks. The drink can be too mild for some, but it was the right amount for me. I tried Pu Arh milk tea, half sweet and no ice ... with black pearls. It has loyalty card, which is a plus for me to come back and try other flavors. Read more
