=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Pretty solid choice for bubble tea -…read moreand better yet, it's conveniently located in Uptown where you're likely in the complex for other reasons too! === 2. FOOD - Jasmine Milk Tea with Grass Jelly: pretty solid! - Peach Oolong Tea with Boba: steeped too long? Decent though! - Brown Sugar Boba Milk: good (no caffeine) for kids and great tasting! === 3. SERVICE The service was decent - I wasn't able to get a recommendation of drink per se, but the ordering and availability of the drink was fast and efficient. === 4. ENVIRONMENT There is some bar-style seating along one side of this relatively-new joint; so you're likely not sticking around to enjoy your order. The open space makes it comfortable for the many people that order BBT here; wheelchairs and baby strollers would have no issues. Parking is free and if not in the communal lot outside, best done in the parking garage by the Best Buy signs (simply take the escalator up to the street level at that exit).

Tea at The Empress

The hotel…read moreis an architectural gem, and and even though the tea is in a lobby, it still achieves a polished feel. The tea selection is compelling and my choice, the rose congou emperor, was stellar. The sandwhiches and pastries were all quite high quality. However, where the tea really raises the bar is in the service itself. Our server was friendly, welcoming, and informative. It really lent an extra level of special to the whole experience.

Good experience to try one time but I don't see myself doing it again. This is the iconic tourist…read moreactivity to do in Victoria - afternoon tea at the Fairmont Empress. It can be a bit spendy as it starts at CA$109 per person before tax and tip - at least for me I allocated the entire $100 USD dining credit with the Amex fine hotels and resorts benefit on this. Reservations are almost mandatory for weekend and I'm glad I made one just in case, although it was rather risky due to the 48 hour cancellation policy if I fly in the morning of, but it worked out. They're strict on time - I made a 12pm reservation and they refused to seat me even though it was not busy at all at 11am opening and made me wait until exactly 12pm. A bit harsh when I contacted the hotel and made a note to the restaurant for my arrival details. I got the traditional afternoon tea for 1 so just tea and 3 tiers of scones, small bites, and desserts. It was quite nice of them to refill the entire tier of savory small bites even though I only requested 3, so that was a nice touch that somewhat made up the poor first impression. You can request more of certain items for free, just don't abuse the system basically The food with the 1 tier refill was more than enough food for me - the service was decent as they checked up on me during the meal. I nicely asked for the tea gift box that is only reserved for anniversaries and they accommodated, but this will almost unlikely happen in many situations so your mileage may vary. I did wait 20 minutes for the gift box as it wasn't a priority for them, so do what you will to see if it is worth the time (I at least was not in a rush)

It's right in the main tourist area so it was really easy to find. The menu is extensive and has a ton of options so it was hard to pick what to get. I got a chocolate cone with the brownie dip. My husband got a vanilla cone with the praline dip. And my toddler got a cup of chocolate ice cream with the chocolate dip. We all enjoyed what we ordered. It was super rich and delicious. However it was really messy so it was hard to not get it all over yourself and you had to eat it quickly. My only complaint was we ordered 3 different sizes (the smallest one they had and the next two sizes up) and they were all about the same size. For the expensive price, it was a bit frustrating to pay for a small size but get the same size as the smallest one they offer.

The baby - hazel nut kookie and dark chocolate dip.

If you're planning to try out some of their more popular items, come early as they tend to sell out.

Is it Partea or SH91? [Victoria BC]…read more I'm confused about the Yelp check-in page for this shop. The physical location is named SH91 but they have Partea sign on the window. I thought that it would be same dessert place as the SH91 on Yates Street which is now reportedly closed but this location only offered milk tea, fruit teas and smoothie. None of the flavors appealed to me but the guy working there suggested I should try the Watermelon slush. Mmkay, I wanted boba with the drink. The interior is small with one table. While he made my drink I observed the decor of the interior. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos but there's handwriting all over the wall. Maybe you could see from some of the pics others have posted. Some signatures, some drawings in different color Sharpies. Come to think of it even the one table inside has all kinds of handwritten things written on it. It didn't look appealing but that is their decor inside. After I got my drink we left immediately.
