Ahh Aberdeen, my favourite food court in Vancouver. If you can look past the horrific parking, Aberdeen has a great food court with a unique layout. There are a reasonable amount of (asian) choices, including awesome Deep Fried Chicken Wings and a great Japanese place with a huge variety (no sushi). There’s also a White Spot in case you’re craving a burger.
As you come up the escalator towards the food court, if you’re able to look past the incredibly tempting Beard Papa’s, you’ll see a small drink stand called ‘8 Juice’. They are pretty much your run of the mill fresh juice stand, much like Jugo Juice, except without the disgusting ‘Wheat Germ’ flavour. Almost all of their drinks are made entirely from fresh fruit and water or ice. They have a wide variety, as well as reasonable prices, considering it’s just fruit and water.
However, in addition to the basic fresh fruit drinks, they also have their 8 Juice House Special. It’s a mango fresh fruit drink with a few additions including mini tapioca balls and it’s awesome! The tapioca balls are sort of like what you would find in bubble tea, but are about 1/8th the size. Ever since I tried the 8 Juice House Special, I usually get one along with whatever meal I get whenever I visit; you should definitely give it a try!
Five Loaves Rating:
Value: 8/10
Quality: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
Verdict: If you enjoy fresh fruit drinks, give the 8 Juice House Special a try next time you’re in Aberdeen!
