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.

I hadn't been in a while but noticed they now habe a kiosk for self ordering. When it's not busy like when I went, the staff still offer to take your order. My friend ordered a couple drinks and she noted that they now have cardboard cup holder trays which is convenient.

Mango passionfruit tea This was one of their newer drinks…read morethat I was excited to try out. This drink was a blend of mango juice, organic mango chunks, passion fruit seeds and tea. The mango juice added sweetness and I loved how the fresh fruit added pops of flavour. I recommend getting this drink unsweetened as the mango juice does add quite a bit of natural sweetness to the drink already. Red bean purple rice coconut milk This drink was a dessert in a cup! The red coconut milk was rich and creamy with the red bean and purple rice adding texture and earthiness. Definitely a bunch of my favourite things in a cup. It depends on where you go for this drink though because the Gilmore location let me customize my drink but the Kingsway location did not.

It's been really nice having more bubble tea places open up around Brentwood, but Yi Fang was was…read morethe first. First off I really love their fruit teas. The lemon aiyu jelly, kumquat green tea and Yi Fang fruit tea have to be my favourites. They're light and refreshing and not too sweet. Normally I'm a 30-50% sugar person but here you have to get at least 70% or it's way too sour! These drinks hot are quite good as well and perfect for this cold weather we've been having, planning on trying their hot ginger milk sometime soon. The brown sugar pearls are decent too, but not as good as Xing Fu Tang or the Alley. My biggest complaint about this location is the speed of service... every time we've gone it's been pretty quiet or dead, but our drinks still take forever. I always find that each bubble tea place has a few signature drinks that are awesome, and everything else is just alright - you can't go wrong with the fruit teas here.

TLDR: Good teas overall…read more My wife doesn't like sweet milk teas. Normally she orders them with 0 sugar. She really appreciated the fact that here, the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk tea derives all its sugar from the boba. So the tea itself has no sugar at all. I think that's a good way to do tea... let the boba sweeten the tea! No need to add gallon of sugar after the boba, right? She thought the milk isn't as creamy as back in the bay area. But the tea itself was good. And she liked the boba, which were sweet and mushy, but without being overly mushed. I myself stay away from milk teas (damn you Lactose Intolerance!), so I normally get fruit teas. I got the mango fruit tea, with my usual 50% sugar. Even then, it's still a lot sweeter than I'm used to. But there is a good amount of tea flavor, so it didn't taste like I was drinking mango water. I even ordered some popping boba, which popped well. It was not mushy at all, and had quite a give to the texture. So for me, 4 stars means the tea is delicious, and I would want to come back. It's not quite 5 stars, which means it's one of the best teas I ever had. The guy was nice, and patiently explained about the whole no sugar added to the milk tea thing. As a strange side note, I'm not sure if it's the owner's obsession, but they certainly have a thing for a certain Chinese band... their faces were plastered all over the walls.

Didn't really taste the roasted tea - as the mochi and sweetness was very dominate. Overall, average experience and taste for bubble tea.

Unlike the two locations down in Washington, this Chicha San Chen wasn't very busy at all even though it was right after lunch over the weekend. That was not a great sign. Dong Ding Oolong, Cream, Perfect Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7.95) - I've ordered this drink from other locations multiple times and I can say that what I received did not taste right. There's basically no tea flavor at all and instead the drink is overwhelmed with a heavy caramelized toffee flavor. The flavor profile is basically a lower quality Hokkaido Milk Tea from a first generation-type boba shop with the same overly cloying sweetness often found in those drinks. I noticed they squirt the cream out of a plastic squeeze bottle in this store - I will have to double check, but I'm pretty sure in other stores, they pour it out from a measuring cup. The drink is not nearly as thick and creamy as other locations, and that trademark rich cream, almost slightly milky taste, just isn't there. Honestly the drink isn't terrible, if I had gotten is from a cheaper boba shop. But I pay a premium to get high quality milk tea from Chicha San Chen, and this drink does not meet brand standards at all. The boba is clearly sweetened, but the chew is leathery and the bounce is not the best. It's passable at best. Milk Tea Rating: 2/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 Chicha San Chen almost always has employees who don't look like they want to be there. Maybe overworked? I don't know, but the people here look even more like they want to be anywhere else but in the store here. I also noticed one of their teaspresso machines wasn't working correctly - it was spraying tea out sideways, and yet they were still using it. I'm not sure this location of Chicha San Chen meets brand standards of this large, usually high quality chain. I've visited probably 10 locations and this is on the only branch that I've actually disliked. Washrooms - None that I could see Drink Rating: [2.5/5] Service: [-] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 2/5
