Presotea King George Hub — Restaurant in Surrey

Update: It seems they've switched to Earth's Own for oat milk (the regular one, not the barista version). It's better than Kirkland but still not great. It would be nice to see barista quality oat milk, otherwise customers should not have to pay extra for it.

Also, I've noticed that quality isn't consistent -- when I order a hot tea, sometimes it's very hot with a strong tea flavour (which is how I like it) other times it's barely warm with a weak tea flavour.

It's still my go-to spot since I work in the area, but I'd really love to see some small improvements.

Original review:

Just started working in the area and am happy to have a Presotea so close. The owner seemed very sweet and passionate about what they do, which is why I hope I can improve this review in the future!

I ordered a hojicha bubble tea with oat milk, which is my go-to order at any bbt shop that sells it. I quite liked the one I had at Presotea in Tsawwassen Mills. However, the one I had at this location was not good -- definitely not worth the $7 or $8 I paid for it.

My first warning was seeing the carton of Kirkland oat milk -- the worst brand. It's too watery and has a strong nutty flavour that completely overwhelms whatever it's paired with. I also could not taste the hojicha tea at all; it was though they forgot to add it in. The only reason I didn't discard the drink was the pearls, which were great.

If the owner reads this, I hope they'll know that I want them to succeed -- I'm a big bubble tea fan and would love to see them use a barista-quality oat milk (especially for the price of the drinks) and try brewing their hojicha...

This was my first time at a Presotea. I really like the menu, there were lots of drinks I would have liked to try, and it’s great that they use real tea. I went with a purple yam genmaicha (oat) milk tea w/ red bean. It came to $8 after tax since oat milk is $.50 extra, the charge for the oat milk is acceptable (less than what most coffee shops charge) but I felt the drink was a little expensive for what it was. The tea was pretty good - it wasn’t super strong but the strength was sufficient for me, and I really liked the tender whole red beans, not pasty. The mashed purple yam, though, was nearly tasteless and oddly almost gelatinous. My takeaway from a single visit is that the tea is good, and the toppings may be hit or miss. I would avoid purple yam next time but am still curious to try more drinks if I find myself near a Presotea again. The shop has a single table, but is definitely geared towards grab and go. There’s plenty of places to sit in the hub outside. The barista was very nice and they get big bonus points for making the drink in the...

They have a very good selection and I bought Chocolate slush and Pinacolada Slush. Very nice tast. I can say it’s almost the same quality as the bubble world (bit less thickness than the bubble world. But I’m not reducing a start for that small thing)

Overall this s a really good place for a bubble tea at King George. 1min walk from the sky train station.

29 May 2024 Today I bought a brown sugar pear and a Milk tea Triple. Brown sugar pearl was good. But Milk Tea Triple was terrible. Jelly s disgusting and feels like it’s expired. We had the same from Chartime yesterday and it was amazing. That’s why we wanted to buy another today from ur place. But we’ll never buy again from PresoTea.

I had to reduce a star This...
