Very similar to Molly tea, I first tried Chayan in Vancouver, BC so I was thrilled when I learned…read morethat Chayan opened so close to where I work. I've tried a good amount of their menu, and will occasionally get the seasonal items like peach. Though I always revisit my favorites, which are the da hong pao tea frappe, the jasmine green milk tea, and the matcha green tea varieties. If you get the frappe, they top the whip cream to serve. Wait time can vary but generally it's about 5-10 mins to get your drink. There are some tables and seating but most people tend to grab n go.

Hi, I'm intentionally leaving 5 stars so I don't hurt the business. It used to be better, and once…read morethe ownership changed, they got rid of what made this place valuable before. If they fix this, I'll come back. First, get rid of the order kiosk -- the staff isn't taking orders faster now, it's actually slower. I used to be able to choose a mix of sauces, and back then a person was in charge of that, so I could actually see how much sauce they were adding. Now it's completely up to whoever's making my bowl, and I have zero control over it. Before, there was real value in being able to physically choose my toppings and how much of each one I got, but now that's all gone.

Fish was bad!! Fishy, smelly, hot. Inedible. Had to throw it away. I also waited for 15 min. The…read moregirl working took that whole time to make 3 bowls. She also left off all the toppings and didn't know what was in the sauces. There's a reason this place has such a bad rating.

The biggest frustration is them not being there when they say that they will be open. More than a half dozen times i have gone by and this be the case. I'll only stop here if I'm in the area because of this.

I have driven by this place often since I live pretty close by. I decided to finally pop in. I…read moreliked this inside of the store as it was filled with plenty of decoration which helped to make it feel inviting. There were even games available to play if you wanted which would make it fun to hang out there. Since I had never been before, I decided to go with a traditional brown sugar milk. The employee at the register was nice and patient and even helped make a recommendation on the fact that I should go with regular boba pearls over the brown sugar ones they had available. The drink itself was not bad! The sweetness and flavor hit the spot. There wasn't as much customization here as there are at other boba places though. Overall a pretty solid spot!

I love Hechalou Tea House! Went for the first time on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty empty…read more The decorations are reminiscent of the neon lights at an Asian night market - super cool. The girls at the front were so friendly and nice - they made my experience great. Service was incredibly fast. The drink was ready before I even finished paying! I got the toffee milk tea with matcha jelly at 30% sugar and 70% ice. This was the IDEAL combination. Perfectly sweet with a hint of the bitterness from the tea. The matcha jelly was firm and earthy, I broke it up with the straw and it was the perfect topping. One of the best milk teas I've had in a while. I will definitely be back to try their other flavors. I'm a huge fan of the tea jelly toppings and it's so refreshing on a hot day.

Absolutely great tea house. You can order at a kiosk or at the cashier's station…read more I got the Golden Buckwheat Tea Latte (L, 10% sugar, 30% ice, boba) and the House Blend Pearl Milk Tea (L, 10% sugar, 30% ice, comes with boba). The boba here is perfectly chewy and sweetened. I am not much of a jelly person, but they're pretty good too. I once got a drink with both boba and jelly and it didn't leave much room for the tea, so I have to limit myself to one topping now! The black tea is slightly muted with the milk there, so that there's no astringency. The buckwheat tea has a pretty strong toasty buckwheat flavor. Yum! Initially, when this business opened, parking was horrible with people jousting for street parking (with an already busy Goodwill down the street) and people parking at the plaza across the street (which will get you towed). Now that the hype has died down, you can use the Ember parking garage around the corner, although it's kind of annoying to park in.

I had a work from home day and spent my whole day there tucked away in a booth. There's plenty of seating and even an upstairs that takes even more away from any noise. The noise level is very low and the playlist is awesome. I also got a breakfast crepe that was very filling. It had a great amount of contents and wasn't simply just egg.

CHICHA San Chen delivers a premium tea experience, but it comes with a premium price tag! It's…read morebasically $10 for a drink, and they only offer one size, which is the smaller size of a usual tea place's volume. BUT they are remarkably consistent, with perfectly chewy pearls and high quality teas. So, even though I'm paying a lot, I know it's going to be good. I got the Dong Ding Oolong with cream, perfect sweet and less ice with boba. The Dong Ding oolong is a high mountain oolong with a strong malty, nutty, roasty taste. It perfectly complements the cream. I prefer cream as opposed to milk since I think the cream gives the drink a thicker, more velvety mouthfeel if you mix it into the tea, plus before mixing you can sip on the cream and the tea separately, so it's like you can enjoy two drinks in one cup!

As a tea AND bubble tea lover, this place is incredible! The drink options are limitless and very…read morecustomizable, plus absolutely delicious. Incredibly high quality bubble tea. The team is absolutely lovely, it was my first time there and I had some questions/confusion and they were literally so patient, so kind and definitely pointed me in the right direction! As a Libra, decisions are hard ok luckily, you really can't go wrong with anything here. They even offer you free samples of their daily tea! They were pretty busy for a weeknight and yet we didn't wait long at all. Beautiful decor, very unique, relaxing and artistic. Definitely gives quality tea absolutely crushed it on the aesthetic front 10/10 gorgeous Sadly deducting a star because I got a very long black hair in my drink and I have very short blonde hair, so it was a bit unsettling and the drinks are quite expensive, so didn't super love that!

It's not easy to make great boba. This place makes perfect Boba. Not mushy, not hard, chewy with bounce. I am glad I found this place after trying out the other highly rated place in the next block that was super artificial tasting, I couldn't drink it. Thank you Tea Addicts. You made my day.

I've passed this place so many times and now have finally gave it a try! After a nice long walk I…read moreneeded a refreshing beverage since it was a hot and sunny day and this place caught my eye. Menu was extensive and had plenty of options! So many options making it hard for me to pick what I wanted. Couldn't decide if I wanted one of the best sellers Ube Pistachio, a rose milk tea, a matcha...Ended up going with the rose milk tea with light ice and no toppings for my first visit. The drink was yummy, I've had better rose milk tea but I was satisfied and it was tasty. I give a 3.5 stars but round up as the location is large, good menu options with food and drink, accessible to bus stops, and my drink was good so I will round up to 4 stars. The cons are a lot of flies, especially in the bathroom. Dead flies in the bathroom soap, flying in your face in the bathroom, lobby has clean tables but dusty floors and windows with many dead fruit flies, large flies, and insects. More than 20 dead flies. Luckily in the lobby they don't fly in your face like the bathroom. I notice the front door states to customer please keep it closed so maybe some it is the area and out of their control? I still sat inside for a while and finished my drink in lobby to stay out of the sun for a bit and so did other groups. Staff was hard working. Seemed a lot of online food orders they needed to complete and that they prioritized. Tea Addicts has good menu options and it's a good tea spot in the area near the buses and the Whole Foods.

I ordered from here because they had the basque cheesecake I regrettably didn't make myself. The…read morewhole cheesecake tasted like aftertaste of milk. There was no burnt/caramalized outside as these cheesecakes should be. The only good thing was the mango milk tea I ordered , which even then was also too milky and had a hint of mango. The next day I went elsewhere to purchase a basque cheesecake & it reminded of how off and wrong the one from Timeless tea, here, was. drinks are well, but the pastries are lacking. they shouldn't be coated in icing to mask the lack of flavor.

Food & drink: (3/5) I've been a loyal lover of the milk cream strawberry since my very first visit, but for some reason it just isn't as good as I remember it being. I would say it's just fine now that I've noticed that they've gotten more watered down. I do enjoy that they still use fresh fruit, but would probably only come back if I was invited by a friend. My partner still really likes his usual which is the mango pomelo sago. I think it's one of their best sellers and is a pretty safe order if you don't know what to get. We didn't get any this time, but I do like their mochi. If you've acquired the taste, the durian mochi is solid. Service: (5/5) Ordering is mostly done through the kiosk at the front but I still appreciate how fast they get things out.
