Honesty it’s like drinking coloured water. We ordered caramel milk tea but tea was white and tasted nothing. Taro milk tea and Hokkaido milk tea tasted nothing like taro or black tea. Really just like water. Chicken teriyaki was very tiny pieces of chicken that you could actually count how many pieces there was. Sorry but this is the worst milk tea we ever tasted. The saving grace was the Nutella in the bubble waffle, they didn’t even make that.

Great atmosphere, kind people inside. My order was a little late. I assume it's because it was busy before I got there. However, when I got there, there was only 3 people in the store. I ordered online and clicked the curbside pickup. When I called the number to indicate I was there as per instruction, no one answered, twice. No parking right outside the front door. It's coin paid parking around the corner. I ordered the waffle with vanilla ice cream and brown sugar bubble tea. The bubble tea was okay. I ordered light ice, but got a full cup of ice still so it tasted quite watered down after a while - but that's a personal preference. The bubble waffle felt a little dry. It had a lot of oreo in it which was nice. I never recieved the vanilla ice cream I ordered with the waffle (waffle is bigger then in the picture. I ate about 2/3 of it before taking the photo). Overall, a little lackluster and doesn't feel worth the $21 I spent after tip.

Happy to find boba in Vernon! So many kind to choose from… also lots of light food options. Some Asian groceries next door as well.

I had the beef teriyaki, and it tasted good, but it was not worth the price as the dish was quite small. To drink, I had the brown sugar matcha with pearls, I thought the pearls were pretty chewy and I didn't taste the matcha, but overall, it wasn't too bad.

They are doing renovations outside by putting in some benches. This is the only proper bubble tea shop in Vernon. The bubble tea posters on the wall are very punny. My caramel milk tea with pearls came to $7.30 after tax. I also bought a can of Simpsons Duff soda. My expectations for a Simpsons Duff soda were very low, and indeed those expectations were met. It tasted awful. It was $5.60 after tax. I like shops that sell unusual sodas not found in Canada. I wish they'd import Pepsi Mango and Pepsi Vanilla from Europe and Asia! They also have an Adian food menu here. I will have to try it sometime. Oh, and they've got free wifi! 5/5 Staff was friendly. I highly recommend.

Love this little place! The corner of the room is decorated so nicely, and the lighting is perfect for photos! The teas are fantastic, and the poke bowls are a nice added option! 10/10 will return.

Been multiple times now, theyve given me discounts multiple times because they ran out of boba pearls which by no means they had to do. On 1 occasion they gave us a drink that never got picked up just because they noticed we were regulars. This time around they closed early but they let us in anyways and made us the drinks we wanted on top of which offered us free egg tarts because they were going to be trashed that night. Above and beyond with their service, drinks are always exactly how they should be. Authentic boba certified by this Asian guy that knows wassup. Would give 6 stars if I could Update: havent been here in a bit, unfortunately everytime I go, they never have pearls...ironically. doesnt matter what time. Better places in town now and one by the airport. Update 2: went for the last time today, never going again purely because theyre ALWAYS out of the 1 thing they sell (tapioca pearls). No idea how this place even got a downtown business award, customer service is lacking a lot, never stocked up with product and pricing is a joke. $10 for a milky cup of sugar containing 1% actual tea and no pearls is just a scam.

Overpriced, lack of service or even a smile and the brown sugar boba wasnt good either

I love the tea and variety of this place, but I found the same tea tastes different depending on who makes it. Id give it a higher rating but the last 3 times I went the pearls werent fully cooked and was hard in the middle

I had the jubilant experience of stopping by Rich Tea Vernon the other day for the first time, and boy...am I glad I did! First, the interior was festooned by a splendid regalia of Stranger Things memorabilia littered throughout the establishment in participation in the Vernon Winter Festival and it is/was spectacular! Their tea is delicious, their staff friendly and helpful to first timers (like myself), and the selections are plentiful and worth the stop in. Love this place.

Second visit to Rich Tea and ordered bubble waffles this time. We tried the regular and one with Nutella and they were delicious. We moved to Vernon from Ontario and I was excited to see that we could get bubble waffles here and of the same quality as the Chinese cafés in Toronto and Ottawa! The bubble tea is excellent too. Plan on returning to try the Korean fried chicken.

This place has fantastic bubble tea. However their food is incredibly hit or miss, I dunno what theyre doing but the last time I went in they didnt have the first three menu items (that were still displayed on their menu with prices) that I asked about, and the time before they also werent serving half their food items. Either dont carry food items or remember to remove them from the menu. Its annoying to decide on something only to be told that thing isnt available.

We went during Sunshine Fest, so they said our food would take a bit. When we got it, they said it would be worth the wait. IT WAS. It was We got two orders of Korean Fried Chicken and a Beef Teriyaki Poke Bowl. It was amazing. The staff were great, the place is chill, and if have to wait for your food, know that it is worth every minute. 100% will come here again.

December 23, 2022

Ordered the Mango Slush w/ Cream. Gotta admit I was pretty disappointed with it. It tasted like I was drinking a literal flower out of the garden with a side of dirt. Not to mention you have to pay extra to have pearls. Wouldn t go back there. Also wouldn t recommend the Strawberry Slush w/ Cream it tasted like a watered down strawberry left in the sink. The cream is also a just a squirt of Kirkland Whipped Cream on top.
