Oh. My. Goodness.
I love bubble tea, but I am a very picky bubble tea drinker. I can't stand powdered drinks so Try Again really hits the mark. They have a HUMONGOUS variety of real fruit based drinks and if you don't see a combo you'd like, you can always ask for it.
I've never had such great bubble tea somewhere with such a good selection! -

Try Again is my favorite place to get a fruit slush type bubble tea. The pearls have a great consistency, and the jelly is always tasty.
The sheer combinations of flavors are astonishing, and I usually choose the daily special just for ease. The girls are helpful and their memories are something to marvel at. I went there about 5 times a week for a few months, before I became more of a nomad. After being absent for about a year, I returned to my favorite bubble tea place in Calgary, and they remembered me! Knowing how popular this tiny location is, especially in the summer, I regard this as a small miracle.
Anyways, good slush and decent prices, the cups are always well sealed and they might just get to know you. even if you have been gone for a while. -

Yummy Yummy!
Try again has come along way since it first opened. Tucked away on the basement level on 3rd Ave just under HSBC. It's a small cubby hole that caters to take out only, there is really only a 3 person space to stand. But that really isn't what it's about here. The girls here are always super friendly~ i cannot emphasis this enough.
There isn't really any parking aside from paid street parking but I find that it is fast enough for a run by. (But maybe don't risk it?)
Tea selection ranges from powdered milk drinks to fresh blended fruit drinks, all of which are yummy, always perfect proportions. The one drink they have that sets them apart from all the other places has got to be the "fresh taro." Yes, that is right, they use fresh taro! And it's really good!
The bubbles are soft and I have never had a batch of hard bubbles. They serve the bbt in sealed top cups, so it travels very very well until you puncture a hole at the top to drink it. Very convienent. -

Although Calgary's China Town isn't the most spectacular thing to see...that is when you compare it to ones like San Francisco or Vancouver, you do have to give it credit for housing some of the top places to eat and drink, Try Again being one of them.
Try Again is one of my personal favorite places to go to when I'm in the area and I highly recommend people to definitely check it out. Like what other reviewers had said, Try Again is a quaint bubble tea shop - where it's a below the ground unit. Unlike places such as: Bubblemania, APM, or the Dessert House, Try Again is take out only - so don't be disappointed in not finding tables and chairs to sit at. However the interior of the place is very warm and cute with splashes of bright colours and an array of Asian gadgets.
Despite it's teensy quarters, Try Again's menu is extremely vast, offering a huge variety in fresh fruit drinks, milk teas, slushes, as well as specialty drinks. All drinks can be customized too, where it can be a singular flavour or mixed depending on what floats your boat of taste buds.
The service, efficiency and quality of the drinks are truly exceptional. Although the place is cash only, the price of the drinks there are exceptionally reasonable, given to the fact that the portions are quite big, and the taste is literally to die for. -
Review from Crystal H.

The sheer speed that Wendy P solved my Bubble Tea craving astounded me. Dare I say, I might like it better than my favourite in Vancouver, Dragon Ball. Reasons? Fresh fruit flavours and a robust offering of combos, milk based, tea based, and avocado choices to boot. I settled on mango + peach with jellies. Love the fact that jellies (or pearls) are included in the $5 price tag.
It's tiny, it's easy to miss if you don't know where you're going, and it's cash only. It's pretty wicked!
PS. Don't be eating or drinking here - the sign will set you straight, if not a little puzzled. -

LOVE IT! Delicious!
Is that enough to describe bubble tea?
I think there are only two bubble tea places I personally approve in Calgary and this is one of them!
Great service. Fast. Efficient. Variety of Choices.
If you haven't tried their bubble tea before, you better go get one. You just don't know what you are missing!
Oh just wanted to add a note here....Take Out Only.... -

Try again is the best Bubble Tea in Calgary. Hands down. It's run by a mother, father and two daughters who provide consistently great service and bubble tea. All I need to do when I walk in is make eye contact with them and I have my order in my hand within minutes. They are fast and efficient and the location is tiny and cute. I never miss a stop there when I am visiting Chinatown.

The best bubble tea in Calgary! I'm not sure how they do it, but they're definitely the go-to place for bubble tea for me and my friends. My favorites are the mango-peach and the vanilla milk tea!
