This is the second installment of Bubble Tea Week. Yesterday we went to Dragon Ball.
Kevin recommended Green Leaf Natural Food at Fraser and 41st, but they were closed so I headed up the street where I had a choice between Wakame Sushi and Little Sweetea House. The latter looked like the less dodgy option and was confirmed upon entering, where I was greeted happily by both the staff and the playroom-purple walls. It seemed impossible to be unhappy in a place like this, but in case there’s any doubt a collection of smiling pig knick-knacks are placed about the shop.
I ordered my drink of the week; lychee with milk and pearls. Yesterday mine had the addition of coconut jelly and today I got slush that I hadn’t asked for, but the tea was fresh and tasty and not too sweet. Piles of delicious looking fruit on the counter attest to the quality of the fresh fruit drinks here, and there were chucks of lychee in my drink as well. Having just opened, the tapioca balls were still warm and hadn’t firmed up quite enough yet, but the icy slush took care of that in short order.
My bubble tea came to only $3.50 and there was lots of seating to sit and enjoy it, had I wanted to stay. A stamp card was started for me and I was encouraged to come back and try the other flavours…all good things. After I had a sip, there was much checking to make sure I liked my drink and I walked out into the sunshine smiling like one of their happy pigs.

I checked it out today, had the lychee slush (w/ coconut jelly) because your description of it having chunks of real fruit was most compelling. It was so delicious! I’m embarrassed that I had to read a review to bother checking out a place I’ve lived so close to for 3+ years.
oh yay! that’s awesome. i’m so glad.
