The tiramisu croissant ($6) was somehow dry yet soggy at the same time, thanks to the filling inside. The cheddar and chive scone ($5) was bland despite its name, and missing the soft, moist inside and crisp, crumbly outside a good scone should have. On the plus side, the barista brought the coffee to our table, which was a nice touch. The place is always busy, with limited seating both inside and out, so you might need to wait to get a seat or do takeout.

I was glad to visit on a Sunday morning while taking a walk with my boyfriend in his neighbourhood. When we arrived, it was quite busy. The coffee shop is small, but charming with limited seating available. The menu mainly contains basic coffee shop items as well as a variety of baked goods. We ordered an iced specialty coffee with ice cream and a small latte. I also chose the Tiramisu danish and we nibbled on it while waiting for our coffee. The danish was suggested by the cashier as one of the more popular items. She was completely right, because this baked treat was heavenly. The outside was like a croissant, flakey and buttery and paired with a delicious tiramisu custard on the inside. We also grabbed a scone for our walk home (which turned out to be delicious as well). The shop also sells local artisanal goods such as chocolate, sauces, and even loaves of bread. It's nice to gander around while waiting for your order. We enjoyed our coffee on the walk back home. The coffee is quite strong, which would be optimal for most coffee lovers. The flavour was deep and chocolate-y, but not bitter at all. I read on their site that they regularly rotate their bean selection. I would love to return to try more of their food items!

I was in Surrey watching my boyfriend's bowling tournament and loved how Zone Bowling had different businesses connected to the alley-- double entrances depending on if you wanted to go through the alley or just from the outside.

Also, there was just one person working who had to handle the busy line of money mangagement, making the drinks, and calling them out. Kudos to them!

B and J liked their drinks. One is Presto tea and the other is Pearl Fever. Pearl Fever has been in the hood for awhile now. Due to its location. I would definitely come back

The interior of their store is quite whimsical, with all the sloth themed decor. Plus, they even have a claw machine that you can play. It's such a fun place! Their ice cream is freshly churned and you can see it churning continuously throughout the day. It's mesmerizing and I could stand at the counter for quite some time, watching the ice cream churn if it weren't for other people coming into the store, wanting to place their orders! The ice cream flavors they have number less than 10, but they are all wonderful flavors and we were impressed with the quality of the flavors that we tried. The flavors they had when we went were as follows: Rich Black Sesame, 2 Shots Espresso, Premium Earl Grey, Supreme Oolong, Uji Matcha, Creamy Mango with bits, Hokkaido "Milk", abd Very Strawberry. We ordered Premium Earl Grey and Uji Matcha ice cream, along with their Golden Peach drink. Yum, yum, and yum! While I love a tasty drink I think my love for ice cream is greater, and the ice cream we had at Teapressu was exquisite. The Uji Matcha flavor was very pronounced and while Earl Grey is a flavor that tends to be very much absent in a lot of desserts I've tried, I could actually taste the Earl Grey flavor this time in their Premium Earl Grey ice cream. Service: Good Parking: This part can be tricky but we managed to find free parking a couple blocks away on Burlington Ave. Location: 5242 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC

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.

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.

It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!
