The interior feels overly bright and a bit plain, almost more like a workshop than a cozy bubble tea shop, so the atmosphere lacks much vibe. It's more of a simple takeout place rather than somewhere you'd want to sit and relax. On the positive side, it is open quite late into the night.

I like the Brown Sugar Bubble tea so much, and my husband likes the Honeydew Jasmine tea. Both hitting our favorites. There were only two staff working there only. People were lining up, but I could tell they both work as fast as they could. Since I had waited for a while and 3 numbers after me had picked up her drinks, something off the hook. I asked the cashier then she told me they ran out of the Jasmine tea and it should be ready in 5 mins. Fine! Short staffed.

I first had their earl grey black diamond milk tea, which was great! The black diamonds was grass jelly and it really complimented the earl grey and made the flavour profile more complex. I def think their fruit tea is their forte. I had their peach pomelo fruit tea and it was BANGINNNN both flavours packed a punch, it was the perf way to start the weekend. The owner is very nice and is always looking for feedback! She'll answer any questions you have :) It's a very small place so if you have a big group, have some ppl wait outside. It's a cute photo spot though, with some bearbricks! This is def on my hitlist for quality bbt, esp in my degen hours!

I came to try this place after attending a yelp event nearby with my gf and friend. The cashier was very helpful and knowing that it was our first time at the store, quickly rattled off a couple of suggestions and recommendations to us. My friend and I settled on Li Bai imperial lychee green tea and marc chagall mango summer fruit tea. The names of the drinks are super extravagant and pretty goofy tbh. We googled most of the names and found that the drinks have actually been named after renowned world figures which is kinda quirky and cool I guess. Also the fruit teas all come in 1L size cups. Perfect once summer arrives. As for the quality of the tea, it was actually very good despite pineapple and mango not being in season, so I can only imagine that it will taste even better once the fruits are in season. My friends drink actually had chopped up lychee in it which was a nice touch. Price-wise they seem to be upper end. Like more than the Alley but less than Ten Rens. Would return!

Tip: The sparkling fruit drinks are amazing…read more Last month, after work, I drove directly from my workplace to CF Markville for dinner. I was craving my usual from Bourbon St. Grill and hit the food court. While heading downstairs after walking through mall entrance 3, I saw this Chicha San Chen store. I flagged it for a visit. After having a satisfying, casual meal at the food court, I returned to the second floor and walked over here to check out the drinks. It was almost as if this store knew that I like fruit and sparkling drinks. I saw a sign that said I could get two sparkling fruit drinks for $10. Three words: Sign me up! I got Kinson at the ordering area. He was great stepping me through everything. I let him know that this promotion interested me. He asked if I wanted one of each fruit flavour. Yes! My order consisted of the following: - Sparkling orange - Sparkling peach Each drink contains fruit, sparkling water, and konjac. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and I was done. He let me know that it wouldn't take long for my drinks to be made. The wait time wasn't much. The seating area had just cleared, so I could take photos of the branded throw pillows, various decorated bear figures holding tea cups in slings, and a wall celebrating a hundred years of tea love. It's my kind of tea joint. I stood next to looseleaf teas in mini containers. I smelled a number of them as I waited. They were so fragrant that I didn't want to leave! I love smelling these teas: - Cassia black - Dong ding oolong - Green - Black - Osmanthus oolong - High mountain pouchong My drinks came in one size. It seemed to be the case for all drinks on the menu. I like that you can customize your drink. There's a menu that steps you through it, from the type of tea that you want brewed, to the flavours and toppings that you want in it. If you find this method to be too complicated, it does have popular teas that are already configured, so you don't have to. I liked that I didn't have to fuss with my order. It was exactly what I wanted. My receipt had a number on it. Their system has an automated voice that calls out your order number. it was a nice change of pace. I could clearly hear my order number called out. I'm sure staff were happy to save their vocal cords, too. My drinks were on the counter. You can help yourself to a tray, which I did. My drinks looked good. What I should have done was sipped both before walking to my car. This place was so generous with the pour that my drinks were topped to the brim. One of my drinks did spill out a bit as I was about to go through the doors. Oops. I stopped to sip both of them. I was good! I got to my car and safely put my drinks down in my caddy. Just from sipping them, I loved the flavours so much. The orange one had slices of orange and chewy konjac. It was slightly sweet and fizzy. It was cheerful to drink. I had the orange slices, minus the peel, of course. Yum! The peach drink was equally as awesome. It was bubbly, with generous chunks of peach and konjac. It was fruity and chewy. So good! Both were so refreshing on a hot July evening. I'm glad that I got two drinks. I enjoyed my first two drinks from this tea place. I'll be back for more! (301)

I had a bit of time to kill before my order was ready. I was parked fairly close to this Cha Miao on a rainy evening. Was this bubble tea place always here? I had never noticed it until this evening. I walked over. I noticed that it has daily specials for $4.99. On Tuesdays, the special is the lychee fruit tea with jelly. Yay! I walked in and was greeted by a nice man. I went ahead and ordered it. I wanted it with no sugar. He let me know that 50% sugar was the minimum. Bummer. I went with this minimum and less ice. It didn't take long for my drink to be ready. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I thanked him for my drink. I headed to my car to put it in my cupholder. I then headed to the restaurant to pick up my order and returned to my car. I then drove home, sipping on my tea. This lychee fruit tea was refreshing and yummy. It wasn't as sugary as I thought this drink would be at 50%. I loved the jelly and lychee bits in this drink. So good! I had a great experience here. I'd return for more daily specials. (363)

Steps away from Roji was Sun Tea. I looked at the daily special for Thursday. It was a peach oolong tea. Yes, please! I walked into the store. There were three teenagers having a fun time hanging out. It was nice. The woman behind the counter was extremely nice and cheerful. I ordered the peach oolong tea (no sugar and less ice) with jelly. I also went with a large. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and my transaction was done. I then waited patiently for my drink. She was super efficient making my drink. She asked if I wanted a bag. I said yes. I got a cute one that fit my drink and my straw. I thanked her and left with my drink. I had it with dinner once I got home. I loved this drink. The oolong tea had the perfect strength. The peach flavour was excellent. It complimented the tea nicely. I loved the blob of jelly. It was enjoyable. This drink was refreshing and delicious. I loved visiting this place and having excellent tea. The downside is Langham Square's parking situation. I was fortunate to have nabbed a parking spot just after 5 pm steps away from Sun Tea. When I left this place at maybe 6:30 pm, parking was atrocious. It's best dropping by when it's not the lunch or dinner hour. (381)

It's located in a plaza that I frequent here and there. I like the Shoppers Drug Mart. Occasionally, I'll hit the No Frills, which this bubble tea store is closer to. A Yelp experience drew my attention to this business. The owner there recognized me from her first location, Hana's Tea, in Richmond Hill. It didn't cross my mind that Hana's Tea and Hana's Roulettea are owned by this woman until she explicitly made the connection for me. Well, I know now! It was nice that she recognized me. I was a regular customer getting macarons and a tea on Tuesdays in Richmond Hill for weeks last year. I brought the former into the office the following day. The latter was for my immediately consumption and happiness. There's lot of parking in this plaza. I have never had any issues finding a parking spot. I got these items at the Yelp experience: - Peachy peach tea - Yuzu macaron I like fizzy ade drinks. This place has them. I also like the fruit teas. I settled for the peachy peach tea. I got it with 30% sugar and regular ice. I didn't want yakult on top, but you can add it if that's your thing. I loved my peachy peach tea. It was cold and yummy with the popping peach boba. I loved the ripe peach taste. It hit the spot on a 34-degree Celsius day. I have been a fan of Hana's macarons since the beginning. The yuzu had a nice citrusy flavour. The macaron shells were crispy and chewy where they should be. It was nice to enjoy one again. The menus are similar at both locations. The chicken gyoza are on the menu. They are awesome! There were tables to sit down, and enjoy your food and drink, similar to the other location. This place feels more spacious and relaxed. I am thrilled that this location exists. As much as I love Hana's Tea in Richmond Hill, this location is so much closer to me. Last Tuesday, I returned to get six macarons: - Salted caramel - Royal milk tea - Mango I brought them to work to share. They were a hit. Staff were friendly the two times that I have dropped by. I'll be back for more. (280)

I appreciate their wintermelon options as not many bubble tea shops offer them. This is a cute shop. They have sections similar to a consignment or pop shops. You can buy jewellery, accessories, tea related items, handmade cookies, etc. While sipping on your bubble tea. Very creative and great way to support local. However, this space does take away some seating options. If you're looking to sip and tap, if the weather is nice out, I'd recommend taking your bubble tea to one of the 3 nearby parks within walking distance.

I tried their Osmanthus Honey Americano and it was terrible. Knowing that there was honey in the drink, I asked for 0% sugar. The drink was incredibly sweet and I feel like I would get diabetes if I left the drink at 100% sugar. The osmanthus flavour and americano did not pair well together. I love flavoured americanos, but this has got to be the worst flavour combination that I've ever experienced. There were osmanthus flowers at the bottom of the drink - I was not a fan of the texture. I couldn't bring myself to finish the drink. There was only one staff working in the afternoon and they weren't busy, so they're a one-woman show (taking the drink order and then going to the back to make it). The wait wasn't long as the woman was efficient. I see other people giving good ratings and maybe it's because we're getting different drinks, but my experiences are vastly different than theirs. I generally don't go for fruit teas and my preference is milk teas and coffee-based drinks. This is not the place for those drinks and I'm sad that I wasted two drinks worth of money to experience less than mediocrity.
