My friend ordered some…read morekind of Coconut milk drink with sago and pudding in it while my daughter and I both ordered the Watermelon Slush this time. My daughter took Regular sweetness level like she usually does and I took mine half sweet as I usually do. I'd gotten a little Mahjong piece from a Sun Tea drink I had earlier this summer and was able to redeem it for 10% off my drink. This has to be done in person though. No way to redeem the 10% off if you order through the electronic Kiosk. Watermelon Slush drink was yummy. I am curious now about the Coconut milk drink my friend had. She chose to have hers with zero sugar because she said the pudding in her drink would be sweet already. She loved her drink very much and raved about how delicious it was. Sounded too that she was very happy with her decision to have it with zero sugar, and that the sweetness of the pudding was enough for her. I normally wouldn't think to order a drink with zero sugar but she was sooo happy with her drink, so perhaps I will give it a try myself sometime. Zero sugar is after all healthier, n'est-ce pas?!

This location in Burnaby is by the Crystal Mall where street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a nice modern interior with less seating than their other locations.

I visited Chicha San Chen and it felt more like a tea workshop than a typical bubble tea shop. From…read moremy visit, there were two people working the counter, carefully making drinks and taking orders. You can see them measuring ingredients on scales and following a very deliberate process, so it is not a quick in and out kind of place. I ordered the lemon wonderland and the honey osmanthus oolong tea. Both were really enjoyable. The lemon wonderland tasted fresh and balanced, not overly sweet, with a clean citrus brightness. The honey osmanthus oolong was more subtle, lightly floral with a smooth tea base that came through clearly. You can tell the tea itself is the focus here, not just the toppings or sugar. Service felt focused and methodical rather than chatty, which fits the style. Drinks took a bit longer than average, but it made sense once you see the care going into each cup.

This is my favourite location of Coco Fresh Tea & Juice. It's fairly large compared with most other…read moreCoco shops I've been to. There's space to sit with your drink and chat with people at this location. A lot of other locations I've been to are just small booths in a shopping mall, or else...just no much space to sit. Also, kinda biased cuz this Coco is the closest one to me. It's my neighbourhood Coco but...seriously, it is also larger than other Coco shops I've been to. Bubble tea can be pricey but this particular location has been having some summer specials lately. The current special is 30% off of Large sized Fresh Mango Smoothie, Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, or Taro Slush. Our daughter chose the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea and I took the Fresh Mango Smoothie. I asked for half sweet, and it was still plenty sweet. It was a very tasty drink. I might order it again sometime even when it goes back to regular price! I took a sip of our daughter's Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, which she ordered at full sweetness. (she always orders her drinks at full sweetness) It was very good, and I think half sweet would still be very good as well.

From what I saw there was a younger lady taking everyone's orders, a man making all the drinks, and an older woman in the back making the bing su. It was packed when I went. The line was out the door but well worth the wait. I'm surprised this place doesn't have more Yelp reviews based on the amount of people that come here. Although there was a long line of people ahead of us, it moved quickly cause the staff was efficient. You could see how hard they were working as beads of sweat started forming on their forehead. The Korean hospitality is just on a whole other level. My group ordered a mango cheesecake bing su, takaiyaki (red bean, apple pie, and cheese custard), plain yogurt smoothie with boba, and another tea which I forgot. Everything was delicious! The bing su was very light and subtly creamy. The takaiyaki was soft and crispy. It's made of croissant so that was tasty. My favorite was the apple pie. The drinks were also very refreshing. I was not disappointed with this place at all.
