From a three-day bubble tea festival in Burnaby this weekend to a self-guided two-week festival, Metro Vancouver is the place to be this summer for all bubble tea enthusiasts.
The Bubble Tea Passport is the brainchild of local food fan Laura Wong-Thompson, creator of Vancouver’s debut croissant crawl last year.
The passports will give the bubble tea (boba tea or milk tea) fans a chance to enjoy limited-edition drinks from Aug. 1 to 14 and special deals until Oct. 31 at select vendors.
These passports will be available for purchase for $6 apiece from the Bubble Tea Passport website, Teaboco’s booth at the Bubble Tea Festival Vancouver at Swangard Stadium this weekend or Chance Cafe in Vancouver.
The passport will help you save a buck off limited menu items while supplies last. And over 20 buy-one-get-one-free drink deals await at select vendors until Oct. 31.
The passport can act as the tasting journal you need as you embark on your bubble tea adventures.
While the adventures await all over Metro Vancouver, with these participating Burnaby vendors, you can enjoy the flavourful adventure closer to home.
