Last time I came here though I recall it being more decorated. There were lots of whimsical decorations hanging from the ceiling. Seemed to be more simple and basic now. Nothing wrong with that though. It's a clean, spacious shop with ample seating and big windows allowing lots of natural light to come in. I dropped by here to order a Roasted Milk Tea cuz on the 1st and last day of each month, Sun Tea members can order a large sized Milk Tea for just $3.99. They have Regular Milk Tea and Roasted Milk Tea. We've tried both versions and they're both good but we like the Roasted Milk Tea best. I ordered it with less ice and 50% sweetness. Quality of drinks at Sun Tea never seems to disappoint no matter which location we go to. This one was no exception to that rule. Service was a bit slow on this visit. I think they had a lot of online orders to prepare as I didn't see that many people in the shop. Guess it's a popular location. They also have some yummy looking desserts in their shop. Thai Milk Tea Cake Box sounded very tempting. I might try that next time. I skipped it this time as I had come here by foot and had a substantial walk ahead of me when I left the shop so didn't care to be carrying a cake for that long walk.

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

There's space to sit with your drink and chat with people at this location. A lot of other locations I've been to are just small booths in a shopping mall, or else...just no much space to sit. Also, kinda biased cuz this Coco is the closest one to me. It's my neighbourhood Coco but...seriously, it is also larger than other Coco shops I've been to. Bubble tea can be pricey but this particular location has been having some summer specials lately. The current special is 30% off of Large sized Fresh Mango Smoothie, Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, or Taro Slush. Our daughter chose the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea and I took the Fresh Mango Smoothie. I asked for half sweet, and it was still plenty sweet. It was a very tasty drink. I might order it again sometime even when it goes back to regular price! I took a sip of our daughter's Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, which she ordered at full sweetness. (she always orders her drinks at full sweetness) It was very good, and I think half sweet would still be very good as well.

From what I saw there was a younger lady taking everyone's orders, a man making all the drinks, and an older woman in the back making the bing su. It was packed when I went.

Although there was a long line of people ahead of us, it moved quickly cause the staff was efficient. You could see how hard they were working as beads of sweat started forming on their forehead. The Korean hospitality is just on a whole other level. My group ordered a mango cheesecake bing su, takaiyaki (red bean, apple pie, and cheese custard), plain yogurt smoothie with boba, and another tea which I forgot. Everything was delicious! The bing su was very light and subtly creamy. The takaiyaki was soft and crispy. It's made of croissant so that was tasty. My favorite was the apple pie. The drinks were also very refreshing.
