Capstone Tea & Fondue in Downtown Vancouver
Capstone is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver on Robson Street. I have passed by many times driving through the area, but never noticed it until a friend mentioned that they serve AYCE fondue a few years ago. Ever since then I associated AYCE fondue with Capstone.
The place had a trendy decor and an upbeat atmosphere. Its not a romantic place, but a nice place for a few friends to hang out and chit chat because the place is small and cozy.
September 1, 2009 | Danny | Comments 3Timothy’s Frozen Yogurt in Richmond (Steveston)
After trying Qoola Yogurt + Fruit, I had to try go back and try Timothy’s frozen yogurt again. I’ve had it before, but I couldn’t remember how the yogurt tasted. It had been such a long time since my last visit, I wanted to make sure my memory serves me correctly before writing this post.
Timothy’s has been selling yogurt in Steveston since 1989. They have a long history in the community and the people love their yogurt. You can tell from the constant line up outside their store.
They don’t serve the fruits on top of the frozen yogurt. Instead, they blended fruit into the frozen yogurt. The staff places a block of frozen yogurt and a cup of fruits into a blender to mix and then dispenses it into a cup or waffle. I enjoyed having my frozen yogurt in a fresh waffle cone. The waffle cones are always made fresh and sometimes the waffle cones are still served warm!

I was walking around the Cambie Village on a photo walk and was craving for some dessert. I decided to visit Trixi’s for the second time. During the first visit, I tried their savory crepe which was very enjoyable. The owner was very hands on, making most of the crepes.

Pearl Castle is the best Bubble Tea place in Richmond. They offer a wide range of drinks including different milk teas, green teas, seasonal fruit juices, frappes, and house specials’ such as “Young Girl’s Dream” which consists of grenadine, yogurt, orange and cream. They also have a large food menu with all of the dishes you’d expect to see at a Taiwanese bubble tea place such as chicken nuggets, beef noodle soup, and meat sauce on rice.
What makes Pearl Castle the best is that they have awesome, consistent quality. Their bubble teas’ taste great, their pearls have that perfect bouncy texture, not to mention the food is also very good. Great flavours make the food a primary reason to visit; the dishes aren’t just snacks you’d have in addition to your bubble tea.

Qoola Yogurt + Fruit at Aberdeen in Richmond
After having lunch at the Aberdeen Mall food court, I was craving something sweet. It was time to see if Qoola is worth all the recent hype. Qoola makes healthy and fresh frozen yogurt from 100% natural ingredients. They are an eco-friendly company with initiatives to reduce waste by offering biodegradable, compost-able and recyclable products.
Qoola offers a trendy, vibrant and refreshing decor which matches pretty well with their slogan - “Pure Heart + Pure Body”. This location has been open for less than two months so everything is shiny and new. Thumbs up to the establishment!
