“You can say it was love at first sip as I simply adore boba tea, which is definitely a popular drink in Vancouver,” says Boba Run’s owner, Christine Alu.
“At Boba Run, our focus is on introducing Vancouverites to new, delicious, and unique flavours using quality ingredients.”
Boba Run’s drinks are made with 100% organic milk or alternative milk, such as oat and almond, along with the house-made organic syrup, premium teas, and tapioca balls directly from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
