Related to the famous Whyte Ave location, this places serves the best bubble tea on the west side. I started my bubble tea experience at their Whyte Ave location and I was happy when they opened up a closer one. Service and atmosphere are alright, but the bubble tea is amazing! They also offer slushies, ice cream, iced tea, and also shaved ice.
They have many flavors of bubble tea to choose from; from familiar flavors such as strawberry, mango, coconut,to something different like iced chai tea. Their bubble tea is provided in a thin layered plastic cup and sealed with some stereotypical Asian anime designed plastic. Keep in mind the drink sizes are HUGE, and can be considered a meal itself. Good thing you can walk it off in the Mall.
Only problem is that they do not accept credit cards...so make sure you bring some cash with you. Also, there is very limited seating and lacks any kind of inviting atmosphere their Whyte Ave location has. -

I like to get my bubble tea here if I'm at West Ed, even though they have it available in the food courts too (at the Chinese food vendors). It's just simply the best bubble tea you will find in Edmonton, aside from their original Old Strathcona location (which is my ultimate favorite).
There's usually a line-up when I pass by here. I'm not sure if their menu is as big as the other location's, but I don't see any reason why it would be different. This shop is smaller, so they have limited seating area -- it's really just a corner of the store. Although you could get your beverage and then just sit on the fake rocks outside the shop and T&T.
This location also takes stamp cards, so be sure to bring yours if you're a frequent bubble tea drinker. And if you don't have a card yet, you can get one here. -

Had Bubble tea for the first time ever from here and it was good. This is a nice little place right outside of the Asian supermarket in West Edmonton Mall. They took about 3 minutes to get the bubble tea ready and I liked it.
It's a milk based drink with some type of balls in it. I could do without those, I didn't think they added anything to the actual drink itself. I would recommend coming here and trying the vanilla sky. It was really good. -

I felt like the last person on Earth who has ever tried bubble tea, so I finally decided to try it. I always thought the Dream Tea House looked interesting, and it's always busy, so I figured it was a good place to go.
There were so many choices on the menu, that I wasn't sure what to get. I thought strawberry would be a good choice, since I love strawberries. I paid for my bubble tea and the nice lady gave me a piece of paper with a stamp on it. I asked her what it was for, and she said it was for a draw. I entered my name, not knowing what I could possibly win.
Then I sat down and waited for my bubble tea. I saw her put the cup of bubble tea in a little machine that lifted the cup and sealed the top with plastic. It was so cool. I got my bubble tea and chose one of the thick, colourful straws. One end of the straw was sharp, so I assumed you I was supposed to stab the plastic top. That seemed to work well, so I guess I did it right.
Upon my first sip, I was somewhat disappointed. I didn't really like the taste. It was like a sweet milk and not at all like tea. My dislike might have been because of the strawberry flavour though. Although I like strawberries, I've never liked fake strawberry flavour or strawberry ice cream, and this is what it reminded me of.
I was also scared to suck up on of the balls from the bottom of the cup. They looked kind of gross. When I finally did, I was kind of disgusted, because it reminded me of a fish eyeball (at least that's what I imagine a fish eyeball would feel like in my mouth). It was squishy and jelly--soft on the outside and a little firmer on the inside. Eventually I got used to the jelly balls, and I started to really enjoy them. It was just like jelly candy.
When I left the store, I noticed a big sign outside that said the draw was for a round trip ticket to Vancouver and gift certificates for Dream Tea House. That's a pretty awesome draw, and I hope I win!
Although I wasn't crazy about the bubble tea, I still want to try it again, but this time I'll get something other than strawberry. -

This place is has the same amazing bubble tea that the South side location has, just not the atmosphere.
This Dream Tea House has great bubble tea - I maintain that Dream makes the best bubble tea in the city. But this location of Dream, isn't very big and they don't have the comfy, cozy atmosphere that the other location has.
This one is very basic - a few tables, a few chairs and that's it.
They are efficient here, but not as efficient as the other location.
But if you're looking for a great drink to grab and walk around the mall with - this is the place to go. And that's what it's designed for. It's not a sit-in location like the South side is. It's a grab-a-drink-and-go kind of place. -

I tried Dream Tea House for the first time last night when practically dying of thirst at West Edmonton Mall, and can't wait to visit again. I ordered 'Smile,' a strawberry-rose slush with lychee jelly, and found it perfectly sweet and flowery, with tons of lychee floating around the bottom of the cup. My boyfriend, who's been wishing for watermelon juice all summer long, had his dreams come true with a fresh watermelon juice, avec plenty of tapioca, on special that day. Our drinks both came in at under $5, good value considering the size.

Dream Tea House is a must stop whenever I am in West Ed. There are plenty of places to get bubble tea in the mall, but this place has the best variety and the best tasting stuff! I really like the Passion Fruit and Taro Milk Teas, but I am happy that they have Iced Teas as well in various flavors that don't involve milk since I usually can't finish a milk tea to myself! They always give plenty of tapioca and are usually pretty quick once you've ordered. There can be quite a line up so be patient, its worth it! Be warned that they charge a $0.25 charge on all interact purchases under 10$, so bring cash!

Dream Tea House has some pretty decent drinks. I like the various combinations they make, which are unique from other bubble tea houses I visit. They mix flavours as well as the kinds of pearls and jellies they add. I like the "Dream" mix, which is coconut and taro, with sago pearls and lychee jelly. Most of the flavours here are fruit - bubble tea is usually not tea at all, but just a general name for the entire spectrum of drinks prepared from fresh fruit or powders, milk or juice, and pearls or jellies. The store is very small with little room to sit and there is usually a lineup. Definitely a grab and go, and worth a visit when at WEM.

I'm sure you've heard of bubble tea. It's a type of drink (juice or milk based) with balls of something (you choose from a list, tapioca is an example). It's a really refreshing drink, depending on the flavor you get. If you get the wrong flavor it's not so great but if you choose wisely it can be really good. I suggest you try the ones that are not milk based. They just seem really heavy and with the wrong type of fruit can make the drink taste less than par. I find it really hard to choose between all of the flavors they have. But I really like the raspberry one. A friend of mine really likes the peach flavored one (not with milk) and Curtis really enjoys the melon or the strawberry one (again with no milk).
