Review from Barry M.

The man taking orders seemed to have difficulty understanding what was asked and reconfirmed things 2-3 x.
Tried bubble tea for the first time. I don`t like the bubble tea pearls. Personal taste. The tea was too sweet, I didn`t finish more than 20% of it.
Friend got a macha tea that tasted gritty, like it had too much powder added for how much liquid was in the container. -

This is a story of love-hate relationship. I love bubble tea, but if it was the last bubble tea place on earth, I wouldn't get one from there.
Craving for a bubble tea, we went to Big Orange for the first time and asked for our usual taro milk tea - honeydew milk tea, both with half pearls, half coconut jelly. Extra paid. First time we went, oops, did you forget the coconut jelly? Flag the girl, give back the bubble tea to have the lid opened and add the coconut jelly.... It's Ok, just don't get too good at forgetting, I hate to go out of my way to pay for extra and have to mention they forgot about it. The bubble teas tasted off, both of them, taro tasted way too sweet and my honeydew tasted... I don't know, just weird?
Second time we went, same thing. No coconut jelly to be found. Flag the girl, open the lid, add the coconut, give it back to us. This time our bubble teas were warm for some reasons, and tasted off again, like I-don't-think-I-feel-like-drinking-bubble-tea off, after two sips.
You know, bubble tea is like a desert. You crave it, you want it, you need it. It puts a perfect end to a perfect meal, a perfect shopping spree with your loved one, You need it to be a certain way. If it's botched and made carelessly, it will clearly kill the mood. Now our running joke is:
"Want a bubble tea?"
- "Oh yeah!!! But not from that Metrotown place."
We say that even when we are hundreds of miles from Burnaby.
