Sharetea — Restaurant in Coquitlam

2023: my first time coming this year, and i am disgusted 😠 not only were the toppings very little (coco has double the toppings) but there was a piece of debris in my drink. I don't know if it was hair or plastic but it was so gross. I'm scared of coming back now.

2022: I’ve been to place a couple of times now. I think sharetea is much better than 4 years ago. Many things I have previously described are no longer relevant.

The place still has a really nice ambient vibe to it. Not a lot of seats though. But the staff have gotten very nice! No more treating you rude if you don't speak Chinese.

Compared to other bubble tea places in the area, the prices are also very fair. They even have some interesting drinks with ice cream.

Do come here. They are actually authentic. I see this store along with some others in Taiwan. They're good.

... 2018: The customers I see just leave their drinks in the table and never come back. Some are barely even touched. They just leave garbage everywhere in the tables. It’s really gross.

The one factor that made me decide to give this a lower rating was because of the price and their marketing. This is ridiculous! $7 for a drink? That’s a price of a meal at a food court!

We got one of the top 10 drinks from the poster. The toppings and pearls in the pictures looked refreshing. But when we ordered it, not only were there NO toppings or pearls, it was $6!! With no toppings? That is disappointing. They’re lying, with putting the picture of the toppings. If the toppings were included I wouldn’t have complained. He marketing isn’t honest.

As much as I want to go and leave a one star rating, I have to admit that the quality of their drinks are actually decent. The taro drinks are made of real cooked taro roots. I can tell because I’ve had lots of...

I've never been to a Sharetea and it was a spur of the moment decision to visit today, but we were very impressed with it and it hit the spot for the craving we had while nearby.

The inside aesthetic was very nice, even with the cafe being mostly closed due to covid. The interior was cute and the music was nice and relaxing. The cashier was friendly and efficient, and I appreciated him informing us up front that it would be a few extra minutes as they were making fresh pearls.

We ordered the Okinawa milk tea and the Hokkaido milk tea. The prices were really great considering we're used to paying at least $6 for a large milk tea at most places and both drinks individually were only $5.57 after tax. Both drinks were excellent (even at 100% sugar) and well - balanced. The Hokkaido milk tea had a good toffee caramel flavour and the Okinawa milk tea had a great robust roasted tea flavour. The pearls were also fresh and the perfect texture, not too soft and not too hard.I must admit I was so excited for my drink I forgot to snap a picture, so apologies on my part there.

If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by for...

This was one of the worst experiences I’ve had here. My friend and I both ordered the Handmade Taro with Fresh Milk—she got a medium (half sugar) and I got a large (no sugar). The worker prepared both drinks at the same time but never added sugar to hers. When we asked about it, she explained that “medium half sugar is actually no sugar.” That makes no sense, and unsurprisingly, both drinks tasted exactly the same.

Secondly, the drinks were poorly made. Instead of preparing them separately, the worker cut corners—using too little ice for both cups. Once the drinks were about 80% full, she simply topped them off with milk. Normally these drinks have a slushy texture, but ours ended up thin and watery.

Finally, the taro was almost gone when she made our order. She split the small remaining amount between both drinks instead of refilling the container, which meant neither of our drinks had the proper amount of taro. As someone who has worked at Sharetea before, I could tell this was not the standard portion.

Overall, this was a very...
