More than just a café
With many years of tea and dessert expertise, we aim to delight Vancouver with a unique, memorable experience in every sip and bite.
We express our personality through our desserts
17˚C Bubble Tea & Dessert Café has been growing for nearly a decade as one of Canada's most unique dessert cafés. We keep challenging the status quo by innovating and improving the treats that made us known, from one-of-a-kind shaved ice to daily-brewed bubble tea.
Our mission is to become more than just a café: to evoke moments of happiness, spark conversations, and create lasting memories in every visit.
