Big Orange @ Surrey Central Mall

Big Orange
Surrey Central Mall



An older Big Orange location, still has frequent stamp card (10 drinks), though the stamps/card only valid on this location only. Since the other Big Orange locations are getting a face lift and this one hasn't, I'm assuming it's not 100% under the same ownership??


The Good:
  • fresh and unique fruit mixes
  • frequent buyer card: 10 drinks get 1 free
  • lots of flavors to choose from
The Bad:
  • nothing bad to say
My recommended flavors:
  • Coffee & Tea (one of few places I get this flavor from)
  • Mango milk tea
  • coffee vanilla
The Verdict:
Price:      $ $ $            a typical  $3.75 for powder drinks
Choices: ☺☺☺☺     lots to choose from
Quality:   ☼ ☼ ☼       good consistent quality, a standard in quality
Overall:   ♥ ♥ ♥          stamp card! good service, consistent quality

T&T Supermarket @ Surrey Central

T&T Supermarket
Surrey Central Mall



T&T semi-recently decided to join the bubble-tea craze. It's cheaper than average, but also you get what you pay for.


The Good:
  • it's cheaper
  • have pre-mixed drinks ready for pick up
  • convenient
The Bad:
  • below average quality
  • not always freshly made
My recommended flavors:
  • n/a
The Verdict:
Price:      $                  costs about $3, give or take
Choices: ☺☺             not too many to choose from
Quality:   ☼ 1/2           I've definitely have had worse, but still below par
Overall:   ♥ 1/2            would only try again if I'm really craving one and no others are open

    Location: Surrey in Guildford Mall
    Address: 2695 Guildford Town Centre


    It seems like Big Orange is expanding into many locations lately, you should probably keep a lookout for them in Vancouver sooner or later. Guildford Mall location is one of the newer ones I've came across. Their new branding redesign is modern and a big improvement over their original amateur design branding.

    The Good:
    • fresh fruit drinks
    • frequent buyer card. Though different locations may not accept other location cards?? 
    • average price
    • good selection
    • good redesign on their image brand (menu, look, etc)
    The Bad:
    • they may not accept other Big Orange stamp cards
    My recommended flavors:
    • milky mango w/ coconut jelly
    The Verdict:
      Price:      $ $ $         your typical average price ($3.75)
      Choices: ☺☺☺☺  many flavors including fresh fruits & ice cream
      Quality:   ☼ ☼ ☼    good typical quality, good tapioca pearls + service
      Overall:   ♥ ♥ ♥       your standard mall bubble tea, no real complaints
