Victoria Food Diary #27 | Letea Cafe 🧋

📍 FCU25-1644 Hillside Ave, Victoria, BC V8P 1A3 Tucked inside Hillside Shopping Center's food court, Letea is a small but mighty bubble tea spot that’s been a staple in my Canadian drink rotation since day one. 🎉 While they’ve recently expanded their menu to include smoothies and slushies (still on my to-try list!), their classic bubble teas remain the star attraction. ✨ My First Canadian Bubble Tea Experience Fun fact: My very first bubble tea in Canada was from Letea, courtesy of a friend’s recommendation! 🥤 The nostalgia hits hard every time I visit. Their teas are generously sized, with a robust tea flavor that stands out even when customized (hello, no ice, no sugar squad!). ⏳ Ordering Tips ✔️ Peak-hour warning: The staff often seem overwhelmed during rushes, leading to longer wait times. ⌛ ✔️ Pro move: Call ahead to order—you’ll likely skip the line and grab your drink instantly! 📞 ✔️ Loyalty perk: Don’t forget to collect stamps! Buy 10 drinks, get 1 free. 🎟️ 🧋 Menu Highlights ✅ Bubble Milk Tea - $6.99 The OG choice and a crowd-pleaser! Their black sugar pearls are the real MVP—chewy, glossy, and perfectly sweetened, with a sticky-syrup coating that melts into the tea. Even if you opt for no added sugar, the pearls alone make it plenty sweet. The portion? Huge. Almost a meal replacement! 🍚 ✅ Grass Jelly Milk Tea - $6.99 My personal go-to when I want something lighter yet flavorful. The grass jelly has a subtle herbal undertone (almost medicinal, in a refreshing way?), which balances the creamy tea beautifully. Less filling than pearls, but just as satisfying. 🌿 🌟 Why Letea Stands Out ✔️ Customization-friendly: Adjust ice/sugar levels without sacrificing taste. ✔️ Consistent quality: Never had a bad batch in years of visits. ✔️ Food court gem: Perfect for a quick treat while shopping. Final Verdict? If you’re in Victoria and craving a reliable, no-frills bubble tea, Letea delivers. It’s not fancy, but it’s dependably delicious. #Canada #CanadianFood #VancouverIsland #VictoriaBC #BubbleTeaLover 🧊💫
