A Metrotown Boba Route for Milk Tea or Fruit Tea

Metro Vancouver visitors can make Metrotown the base for an easy boba-focused outing in Burnaby. Begin inside the area’s best-known shopping landmark, continue along Kingsway, then choose a dessert stop or a separate matcha detour later in the day.

## 101 BoBA - Metrotown

Make 101 BoBA your first stop around midday, especially if you are already shopping at **Metropolis at Metrotown**. The shop is inside the mall, making it the clearest starting point for travellers with no knowledge of Burnaby’s streets.

Order a **classic milk tea** if you want a familiar Taiwanese-style drink to begin the route. If you would rather keep things lighter, choose from the fruit tea side of the menu or try one of the shop’s creative slushies. This stop works best as a quick refreshment between stores rather than a dedicated dessert break.

## SunTea 新作の茶 Kingsway

For the second stop, continue east along **Kingsway from the Metrotown district**. SunTea is the fruit-focused choice on this route and suits the afternoon, when a cold drink can break up a day of shopping and sightseeing.

Order a **fresh fruit slushie** for the shop’s most distinctive style. Creamy cheese foam is another featured option if you like a richer topping with a fruit-forward base. Since the drinks are described as massive, consider whether you want to share or make this your main boba stop of the day.

## Tealips Cafe

Save Tealips Cafe for a later dessert stop. It is farther east of the **Metrotown district**, at 7139 Arcola Way, so treat it as an extension of the core Kingsway route rather than a quick stop inside the mall area.

This is the best fit if your priority is **milk tea with dessert**. Pair a bubble tea from the extensive menu with a Belgian waffle, or make it a sweet weekend brunch-style visit. The cozy cafe setting also makes Tealips a more sit-down-oriented finish than the earlier shopping stops.

## HAKUMORI

If matcha appeals more than waffles, make HAKUMORI your alternate last stop. It is on Still Creek Avenue in Burnaby, away from the immediate **Metrotown and Kingsway** sequence, so plan it as a separate detour rather than part of the compact walking portion.

Order a **ceremonial-grade matcha** or one of the artisanal tea blends. This is the route’s choice for Japanese tea flavours and handcrafted drinks, with dessert also available. It works particularly well as a final, tea-focused visit after the busier Metrotown portion of the day.

If one stop is busy or closed, return to 101 BoBA inside Metropolis for milk tea or switch to SunTea along Kingsway for a fruit slushie.
