Bubble Tea Brewers — Restaurant in Calgary

As Captain Cyclops, I’ve lived through laser calibrations, sushi drum circles, and a cosmic burger-induced awakening. I thought I’d seen it all. Then I walked into Bubble Tea Brewers and felt my third eye twitch with tapioca curiosity.

🍵 THE TASTE TEST

I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, mostly to prove a point.

Fist sip: creamy, sweet, like breakfast met dessert in a parallel universe.

Bubbles? Perfectly chewy. They clung to my straw like tiny cosmic rescue pods.

🧋 WEIRD BUT WONDERFUL

The cups have tiny LED lights embedded in the lids. My drink blinked when I set it down.

Each flavor sampler tastes like childhood nostalgia plus a hidden layer of adulthood regret.

I tried the Oolong Jasmine, thinking it’d be boring. Instead… a floral avalanche that forced me to whisper, “Okay, Betty White, I stand corrected.”

👥 THE VIBE

Staff didn’t bat an eye at my laser-harnessed forehead—they gave me a friendly high-five and called me “Commander.”

The tiny parlor was decked out with neon signs and bean-bag chairs. I drifted into one and nearly fell asleep mid-slurp.

Someone started a spontaneous tapioca slurp-off at the next table; it got loud and ridiculous. I joined. We all left with tapioca moustaches and newly won camaraderie.

🚀 WHY 5 STARS?

Great drinks, perfect texture, zero slippage.

Friendly, inclusive staff—even to someone who’s technically a walking light beam.

The vibe? Cheerful, neon-trippy, and yes, a little silly. But I needed silly.

Bubble Tea Brewers isn’t just a bubble tea spot—it’s a small universe served in a cup. If you’re new to the area and want to melt your edges with sugar and tapioca, or if you're someone with a beam on your forehead and little taste adventure left, come here.

I walked in skeptical. I walked out cheering. Bubble Tea Brewers: 5 stars, 100% tastier than I expected, and thrillingly weird in exactly...

Oooook so this is our new bubble tea spot!!! The first thing you notice when you come in is that it's clean!!! And quite cozy as well. 3 screens display the entire menu with rotating pictures to answer your questions of what they look like lol

The options are amazing, and you get a few more choices than our last spot. They also have menu displays at the till, so if you're like me and forget what you wanted 2 seconds after walking away from the TV, you're still good, haha something to note is that they have a great selection of jelly and popping pearls and have everything in stock.

Moving onto service. The best and happiest bubble tea brewers I have ever met. Happy to answer all your questions and put no pressure on trying to get you out the door.

My ONLY reason for giving 4 stars, I truly would like to give like 4.8 stars if I could, is their rewards program. 14 stamps to get a free one. That's 7 visits with no limit on how much you spend if you get 2 each time. Our previous place matches 1pt= $1 spent. And I only need to buy 7 teas to get a free fruit tea. That's just over 3 visits, buying 2 each time. So it takes me half the time and I'm encouraged to spend more each time to get my free one closer. Also there are different levels of free products as well. Just something to possibly think about in the near future. If this were matched or made better, there would be absolutely no reason to go elsewhere lol

In conclusion, considering we went 2 days in a row to get some bubble tea, this place is the best spot!

We promise, we will be...

I tried a mango passion fruit smoothie with mini mochi topping: the portion size was decent, flavor was ok, but the mochis all stuck together in a big clump at the bottom such that I needed to dig them out with a spoon after finishing the smoothie portion.

What irked me about this business is that both the website and in store menu seem like false advertising because all drinks are shown with a standard topping in the photo and a listed price. But when you get to checkout, they charge you additionally even for the topping shown in the picture. I've never encountered this at another bubble tea place.

Edit in response to owner reply: I am well aware there is a section on the menu called "add on topping". The definition of an "add on" is something requested that is ADDITIONAL. However, each menu item showing a topping implies that the specific topping shown is already included in the base price of the drink. There isn't any specific mention that the "toppings shown in the photos are excluded in the price". The drinks here are already $1-2 higher than other bubble tea places so it is totally reasonable to assume you're getting what you see in the photo for the price shown. It's like ordering a double cheeseburger, getting a single patty and being told the second one is extra. Unfortunately after the rude response from the owner I downgraded my initial rating from 3 star to 1 star and will not be returning. All I was suggesting was better disclosure for...
