Dream Tea House

I got their avocado shake. It was so good that I inhaled it. Even my son likes it that he drank half of my shake. The next day I got another one. It was that good!

Blueberry slush bubble tea is amazing! I really want to try all their shush bubble teas sooooooo yummy!

2 stars for the poor and unfriendly customer service at this location (almost all the time!). The guy taking orders could care less about creating a positive experience for his guests. I saw this with our order on the weekend, and with the many others who ordered and waited alongside us afterwards. Their only saving grace is the bubble tea drinks which are delicious, if not filling! (Warning: Do not order this to «tie you over» to a meal like we did, as my boyfriend and I ended up being too full to even eat lunch after this!)
I love their fresh mango bubble milk (with soy milk substition), whereas my boyfriend loves the signature Dream bubble drink with made with coconut and taro.
The renovations are decent and were much needed after the sloppy disarray the store front was before. Now it looks tidier, and more organized.

Dessert was on our minds when we finished lunch. We wanted to make the most of our time at WEM, and thought BBT would be the best option on the go. I smiled as I saw the lineup of panda shaped containers full of jelly greeting us as we approached.
I must admit, I don’t have perfect vision, but trying to read the menu choices here truly strained my eyes. Dream Tea offers lots of premixed options for you to choose from, so if you’re looking to be adventurous, choose away from the list. Payment is by debit or cash only.
We got the barley germ with pearl, and avocado with pearl. So happy that the avocado is fresh here! We found that drinks to be more milky than in YYC, but they were still very yummy. The pearls had good chew to them as well.
When we were walking through the stores in WEM, we were happy to hear from sales associates that we had made a good choice in going to Dream Tea; they all said it was one of the best places in YEG.

I have been really fortunate to taste alot of great bubble tea here in Edmonton but this was the first one that ever made me stop and go «mmmmm». I had the watermelon with tapioca pearls and the flavor was the perfect marriage of fruity and sweet. It was a great value at $ 5.00 and with all the choices on their menu I see myself coming back again and again. I would feel like I was doing this place a great disservice if I also didn’t mention how unbelievably clean it was. Everything here is so white and the metal counter tops were literally sparkling. The lady working had their back door propped open with a mop bucket and I could see even the floors and shelves in the back were unbelievably clean. What’s not to like about a food establishment that takes hygiene this seriously? If your a bubble tea fanatic like myself this place falls under the category of must visit when at WEM.

The most delicious and affordable bubble tea around!
If you’re in the mall you’ve got to grab one. My all time favourite is the coconut cantaloupe! I crave this bubble tea just talking about it.
Note: This place is cash only.

Best place in the city for BBT!
There are many pre-​made selections and there is always a daily drink special available if you are new to bubble tea and not sure what quite to order. My favorite is «Heaven». Aside from getting tapioca pearls in your drink you have the option of opting for none, but let’s be honest, tapioca pearls is what makes bubble tea, bubble tea! My favorite addition is the pineapple or lychee jelly in addition to the tapioca pearls.
This place is always packed, open late night and has several simple snack options. You can routinely see dates, big groups of kids here hanging out, (they used to have board games and such available to play, not sure if they still do).
This place has been recently renovated and has a more polished look than what it used to be before (bright yellow with stuffed animals everywhere!)

Absolutely love the fresh fruit juices and smoothies! And I’ve tried a lot of other bubble teas, they don’t hold a flame to these delicious drinks…

This place is always pretty darn busy. The ambiance of the shop itself isn’t amazing as a result as it’s mostly folks waiting around for their bubble tea. But oh my goodness they’re fast and their red bean bubble tea was absolutely delicious upon my last visit! Red Bean is always my favourite so I was pleasantly surprised that their version was even more delicious than expected.

In my top five list of bubble tea places.
Yumminess took me by surprise.
Mango is delicious. But my favourite is the Peach+Lychee. The way they ice the milk is heavenly.
And could not believe how quick the service is.
Must try. Go. NOW!

I had high hopes for this place based on previous reviews but I was left disappointed. I ordered a passionfruit green tea with pearls and I have definitely had better. It was quite watery so the flavour just wasn’t there. Maybe they were having an off day?

My favorite bubble tea place. I always get the avocado bubble tea with tapioca and it is always super delicious when I get it from here. The price is a little more than other places I think at $ 6 but it is worth it in my opinion.
The location is in a tiny location right outside of the T & T super market and there always seems to be a line. They have an extensive menu of bubble tea options none of which I can review other than the Avocado bubble tea.

From my experience of trying different bubble tea places around the city, i find that this one makes them the best. It’s always full of flavor and the fruits they use are very fresh, im guessing cause they buy them next door from the T& T supermarket.
I mostly order the Avocado smoothie, just cause they make it to perfection. They use real fruit and they make it so that its just sweet enough to not taste the bitterness, but not to sweet that the sugars take over the taste of the avocado.
4 Stars **** i guess the only one thing i dont like is that they charge extra to use debit machines.

Finally, a decent bubble tea in Edmonton! This is located to the R of T&T, above Bourbon Street.
Parking is plentiful all over the mall.
The staff are Chinese-​speaking too. Already a good sign.
The interior is a bit ghetto-​looking, with some poster boards nailed to the otherwise bare walls, but you’re not here for the ambience.
The girl behind the counter explained that most drinks are powder (bad), but some can use syrup or fruit (good).
I had my benchmark strawberry bubble tea. You can taste the fruit with this one. Not life-​changing good, but actually quite decent. I was a happy customer.

Related to the famous Whyte Ave location, this places serves the best bubble tea on the west side. I started my bubble tea experience at their Whyte Ave location and I was happy when they opened up a closer one. Service and atmosphere are alright, but the bubble tea is amazing! They also offer slushies, ice cream, iced tea, and also shaved ice.
They have many flavors of bubble tea to choose from; from familiar flavors such as strawberry, mango, coconut, to something different like iced chai tea. Their bubble tea is provided in a thin layered plastic cup and sealed with some stereotypical Asian animé designed plastic. Keep in mind the drink sizes are HUGE, and can be considered a meal itself. Good thing you can walk it off in the Mall.
Only problem is that they do not accept credit cards… so make sure you bring some cash with you. Also, there is very limited seating and lacks any kind of inviting atmosphere their Whyte Ave location has.

This place is has the same amazing bubble tea that the South side location has, just not the atmosphere.
This Dream Tea House has great bubble tea — I maintain that Dream makes the best bubble tea in the city. But this location of Dream, isn’t very big and they don’t have the comfy, cozy atmosphere that the other location has.
This one is very basic — a few tables, a few chairs and that’s it.
They are efficient here, but not as efficient as the other location.
But if you’re looking for a great drink to grab and walk around the mall with — this is the place to go. And that’s what it’s designed for. It’s not a sit-​in location like the South side is. It’s a grab-​a-​drink-​and-​go kind of place.

Had Bubble tea for the first time ever from here and it was good. This is a nice little place right outside of the Asian supermarket in West Edmonton Mall. They took about 3 minutes to get the bubble tea ready and I liked it.
It’s a milk based drink with some type of balls in it. I could do without those, I didn’t think they added anything to the actual drink itself. I would recommend coming here and trying the vanilla sky. It was really good.

Dream Tea House is a must stop whenever I am in West Ed. There are plenty of places to get bubble tea in the mall, but this place has the best variety and the best tasting stuff! I really like the Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Teas, but I am happy that they have Iced Teas as well in various flavors that don’t involve milk since I usually can’t finish a milk tea to myself! They always give plenty of tapioca and are usually pretty quick once you’ve ordered. There can be quite a line up so be patient, its worth it! Be warned that they charge a $ 0.25 charge on all interact purchases under 10 $, so bring cash!

I like to get my bubble tea here if I’m at West Ed, even though they have it available in the food courts too (at the Chinese food vendors). It’s just simply the best bubble tea you will find in Edmonton, aside from their original Old Strathcona location (which is my ultimate favorite).
There’s usually a line-​up when I pass by here. I’m not sure if their menu is as big as the other location’s, but I don’t see any reason why it would be different. This shop is smaller, so they have limited seating area — it’s really just a corner of the store. Although you could get your beverage and then just sit on the fake rocks outside the shop and T&T.
This location also takes stamp cards, so be sure to bring yours if you’re a frequent bubble tea drinker. And if you don’t have a card yet, you can get one here.

I felt like the last person on Earth who has ever tried bubble tea, so I finally decided to try it. I always thought the Dream Tea House looked interesting, and it’s always busy, so I figured it was a good place to go.
There were so many choices on the menu, that I wasn’t sure what to get. I thought strawberry would be a good choice, since I love strawberries. I paid for my bubble tea and the nice lady gave me a piece of paper with a stamp on it. I asked her what it was for, and she said it was for a draw. I entered my name, not knowing what I could possibly win.
Then I sat down and waited for my bubble tea. I saw her put the cup of bubble tea in a little machine that lifted the cup and sealed the top with plastic. It was so cool. I got my bubble tea and chose one of the thick, colourful straws. One end of the straw was sharp, so I assumed you I was supposed to stab the plastic top. That seemed to work well, so I guess I did it right.
Upon my first sip, I was somewhat disappointed. I didn’t really like the taste. It was like a sweet milk and not at all like tea. My dislike might have been because of the strawberry flavour though. Although I like strawberries, I’ve never liked fake strawberry flavour or strawberry ice cream, and this is what it reminded me of.
I was also scared to suck up on of the balls from the bottom of the cup. They looked kind of gross. When I finally did, I was kind of disgusted, because it reminded me of a fish eyeball (at least that’s what I imagine a fish eyeball would feel like in my mouth). It was squishy and jelly – soft on the outside and a little firmer on the inside. Eventually I got used to the jelly balls, and I started to really enjoy them. It was just like jelly candy.
When I left the store, I noticed a big sign outside that said the draw was for a round trip ticket to Vancouver and gift certificates for Dream Tea House. That’s a pretty awesome draw, and I hope I win!
Although I wasn’t crazy about the bubble tea, I still want to try it again, but this time I’ll get something other than strawberry.
