Pause n’ Sip Richmond 忙里偷闲

The nicest staff that I've dealt with at bbt shop in Richmond in a very long time. Drinks are unique and taste delicious

This bubble tea shop is beside the entrance of Aberdeen Square on the outside, just beside the skytrain station. The interior is aesthetically decorated. It is a clean and quiet environment, making it a good place to hang out or study. Even though they have classic milk teas, their menu is quite unique, offering a different taste to what you would be used to when getting bubble tea. There are milk teas, fruit teas, fruit sodas, yakult drinks, and more. I don’t like milk teas very much but rose milk tea has me going back!! The pomegranate lychee soda is perfectly tuned, not very sweet and very refreshing. I also got to try their taro milk with oreo and purple yam. It’s a bit thick but worth trying at least once. The staff and owner are all super nice, friendly, and accommodating. I went in once not knowing it was literally 2 mins before closing. They still took my order and offered an alternative topping as they were prepping to close. They currently do not allow reusable cups. Not a crucial need, but would like to use my own cup some time. 10/10 would recommend giving their soda and specialty drinks a try. Their selection will definitely have you going back again.

I am beyond perplexed as to why there's not enough rave for Pause n' Sip. Their drinks are by far the best in this city, and being a local here for decade+, I don't leave reviews. I rather just enjoy the good places I know. But this place needs its due justice. Their ingredients sell out mid day due to demand, and my friends and I have waited for them to restock 30+ minutes several times now. In fact, we are waiting as I leave this review. Personal recommendation: any soda drink. I've gone and tried each of them more than once all on separate occasions. Pinapple, pomegranate, lychee, you name it. Best of best. Close friends rave their milk tea and pearls. One’s waiting for another 25 minutes for her peach pearl milk tea right this moment. They do not disappoint. I've wished to have a bigger stomach so I could down 2 of their drinks at once several times by now. I've ranted for too long. Honestly, go the entra mile if you must - to give this place a try.

Kid-friendliness: They guid your child on how to poke it to shake it before poking the straw in and tells you where and how dink it because my child had a 2 opening to drink from

Very friendly service. Drink selection is great. We got mango slush 30% sugar and coconut coffee. Both were great.

Fully load with fruit and real stuff in Milk Tea or Soda, refreshing tasting brings me comfort drinking experience. Not like many milk tea drinks, after you drank you feel so rich and strong, but your body does not feel good. The store is located beside the Sky-train station, not inside the Aberdeen building.

Love taro milk with Oreo/purple yam!
