Fantastic and amazing coffee, shaved ice and other deserts.
Also popcorn chicken!
A big group of us had a delicious dessert set with teas! Tom and the staff were lovely; they attended to all of our needs, and we had an amazing time!
Leisure Tea & Coffee is a cozy - intricately place to get authentic Taiwanese style tea and desserts, with some nice modern twists.
The ambiance is rustic and quaint - that will bring you nostalgic feel.
We ordered caramel pudding shaved ice with added grass jelly. We got a decent sized pudding with liquid caramel sauce drizzled over and sweet condensed milk on top of it.
The price was extremely reasonable for the portions.

Super cute cafe for those long catch-up chats or late night talks. It's one of the few that opens late until midnight (and 12:30am on Fridays/Saturdays). Once inside, it's a unique feeling because of the decor and different from typical BBT places - you'll know what I mean once you check it out! The decor is actually one of the reasons I like this place, bonus points!
I'm not Taiwanese, but to me, their snacks and desserts taste authentic. My favourite thing to get is the 'sweet soups' - you can get them hot or cold. It comes in a mug with a spoon and you can customize it by adding your favourite items, like bubble tea but much more variety! My favourites to add include taro chunks, tofu pudding, kidney beans, and taro and sweet potato balls - a very Taiwanese dessert!
The only downside about Leisure Tea is that if you want a full on meal, they don't really have that. The closest thing is probably sandwiches that they serve. But definitely one of my favourite places to stop by for snacks and chats.
Food: Got the fried chicken and it was an okay dish. Very typical salt and pepper dressing, not as crispy but may be just the style. Bubble tea is just like anywhere else really.
Ambience: Very cute decor!! Gives a very homie, cottage feel with the wood and everything.
Price!!: Affordable but the bubble tea in my opinion is a little overpriced but you do get the service. Food prices are average, nothing too worth your money but not a total rip off.
One of the better bubble tea/dessert place in richmond. Was introduced by a "local" and we always come for the salty chicken and shaved ice. The waffles were crisp with generous amount of topping to go along.
used to come here all the time with my aunt for some after school snack! great atmosphere and drink. Their fried food platter satisfies the cheat day snack. my favourite would have to be the hot ginger milk tea!
My favorite asian dessert place in Richmond. They have a variety of offerings that fits all tastes. My favorite is the shaved ice with pudding ~ it's heavenly. They also have a good selection of waffles. I like that they have a wide selection of drinks from cold to hot healthy selections with red dates.
Strawberry crepe - 5.75$, crepe w/strawberries, whipped cream and maple syrup.
It wasnt mindblowing or unique,but it was yummy and nicely done so I'd get it again. The strawberries were really good and the whipped cream was fresh. I'd give it a 4.3-4.5 by itself.
Just like it says on the tin, this is a really great place to relax. There aren't too many people crowded in, the food is served pretty quickly, and the decor creates a nice ambience. The workers just do their job and then keep to themselves which is nice too.
Came here for dessert after we ate at the korean restaurant across the street. This is how convenient Richmond gets sometimes, everything is somewhat within walking distance on the "chinese food" street on Alexandra road!
Such a cozy and comfortable place to catch up with friends and enjoy some yummy Taiwanese dessert and drinks. We shared the Mango shaved ice. The portion is so huge, it took three of us to finish it! Look at the generous amount of fresh mango. I liked the condensed milk they drizzled throughout the shaved ice and on top of the mango. The mango was super sweet and fresh!
Came in for takeout bubble tea to take back to the hotel because we were too lazy to eat outside of bed..
Not too bad! We got some fresh fruit juice and wintermelon juice. Highly suggest the wintermelon!! Very refreshing. Prices were also pretty fair, but a bit more than I'm used to in Calgary.
Busy restaurant, but the people here are not too fluent in English. I suggest bringing a Chinese person if you come here.
Late night cash only dessert place :) they're most known for their caramel shaved ice and I don't doubt it because it's so yummy! It looks dry at first but once you mix it all up, it's the right amount of sweetness. Love this shaved ice because it's so unique and tasty!
The customer service is always exceptional here. All of the staff are polite and friendly. The food quality hasn’t gone down after the pandemic which is rare to see in Richmond. The chick sandwich is a must as the chicken is juicy and tender and the dish is really filling. The dessert (drink?!) is also good, not so sweet. Will always come back to try more stuff!
It is basically unchange since I first came here gather with friend. After 25 yrs, everything is the same and food still excellent quality with very comfy environment. Best place for business talk and even dating
Lovely little shop - love that they keep the old style decor and teacups. Although expensive for tea, coffee and food, the ambiance the worth it. We had wild berry tea and chocolate milkshake. There are so many options on the menu as well. Good variety.
Cool cafe with British /Euro theme. Varieties of drinks are great. Dessert was tasty. It’s pricy. A bit too cold inside.
This place has nice atmosphere.and his place has fantastic food.But just didn’t like their services.
Large variety of tea, food, and dessert. Crispy chicken was delicious. I wish there was a caffe latte option. I was able to order black coffee with oat milk on the side.
Love their vibe, fruit tea and Japanese light cheesecake. Gonna come back and find out more
Leisure is the oldest establishment serving Taiwanese deserts & snacks. Their fried chicken sandwich is flavourful and always fresh.
They also make their puddings and taro toppings in house, so give it a try with their shaved ice or taro milk. Scones are really good too. 😋
The interior has not been updated since the 90s, I love how they kept the way as it is.
