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 got the Lemon Wonderland and it was solid and refreshing. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here!

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.

Was thirsty after grocery shopping at T&T Metrotown and always wanted to try the bubble tea store…read moreright next door. Rebranded less than a year ago from Wushiland Boba to now 101 Boba. Currently offering summer promo from June 26th 2023 to September 5th, 2023 "Select two drinks for $9.90." Decided on the Ultimate Chew w/ Four Season Tea and Four Season Tea w/ Mango Sorbetto. Ultimate Chew w/ Four Season Tea had an interesting mix of 3 toppings Boba, Coconut Jelly, and Grass Jelly. The real star though was the Four Season Tea w/ Mango Sorbetto. I have to say it is probably the best drink at a bubble tea shop that I've ever had with a very nice unique green tea flavor blended perfectly with soft Mango Sorbetto *A must try!!!* Staff were friendly and got my drinks in record time less than a minute after ordering. Plenty of free parking available in the Metrotown underground parking lot.

There's a lot of drinks on the menu, so I was happy to see a most popular drinks menu. I'm terrible with caffeine in the evening, so to be safe I went with the fleshy mango slush with coconut milk. It's not cheap (cost $6.90 for the cup), but it's getting harder to find an affordable boba shop these days. The drink was exactly what I expected it to be, a solid mix of mango and coconut. You can never go wrong with this combo! This SunTea is in a shopping plaza, so there is parking available for the plaza.

I looooved the storefront itself; it appears that they make their own toppings and have local suppliers for their tea products. You're able to purchase these supplies, as well as artsy pieces made by local small businesses. There was tons of cute Pokemon merchandise! Friendly staff, a good recommendation for matcha and cute little souvenirs. Need to try their milk tea products next time!

This is a cute shop. They sell a bunch of refreshing tea drinks and also have a small "Makers"…read morecorner in the shop where they sell cute odds n ends that one would normally find inside a Makers shop. I love the crocheted items. They are so cute. We ordered a Baiko Matcha and a Pink Lychee. Both drinks were enjoyable but I honestly didn't taste much Lychee in my drink. I tasted mostly Strawberry in it. I think I would probably choose some kind of tea beverage next time. After all, with a name like Teaspoons & Co., I guess they would excel in making tea rather than a fruity drink like Pin Lychee. I love the selection of goods on their shelves. Passionfruit Syrup and Wintermelon Syrup both caught my eye. The Wintermelon Syrup I found to be especially unique. I have definitely never come across Wintermelong Syrup in a store before. I was very tempted to buy one of them but in the end, ended up restraining myself. Might buy one next time though.

We got the Mango Pomelo Smoothie and WOW! We loved it so much that we ended up getting one more on the way out of the mall. It was so very well made, so well balanced. We are a fan! The outlet is well managed, with some seating available to rest while you wait for your drink. Most places this size don't offer that. Service is quick and the customization on the sugar is spot on. Our mandatory stop for every visit to Burnaby. Keep up the great work!
