The Alley is one of the newest additions to Calgary’s bubble tea scene. The Taiwan-based chain opened its first Alberta location in Calgary’s Chinatown area in June. Can’t decide what to order? You can’t go wrong with one of The Alley’s popular recommended drinks, which include the Royal No.9 milk tea, Deerioca Fever with tapioca pearls soaked in brown sugar lava and the Apple of My Eye drink.

You can get a bubble tea and a Vietnamese sub all in one spot at Ami Tea & Sub, which opened in early 2019. Along with more than 70 drink options, the shop serves 16 subs with fillings ranging from mixed satay beef and chicken to vegan sausage. Ami Tea often has special deals on drinks and/or food, so be sure to ask about those during your visit.

This Taiwanese chain opened its first Calgary location in the Beacon Hills Shopping Centre in June. Drink options include the store’s namesake Yifang fruit tea, pearl black tea, brown sugar pearl black tea lattes, a winter melon drink and more. And if driving to the northwest end of town is a bit too far for you, don’t worry — Yifang will be opening additional Calgary locations in Crescent Heights and downtown soon.
