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.

The other two has no choices within and I found it it was small even though it was the same price. Tried the cheecap mango green tea the other day and the cap was not very cheesy.

Parking is plentiful in the Metropolis lot. The place is brightly lit, with a bright yellow theme. Staff were friendly and helpful. I tried the oolong macchiato. Quite tasty,though 1/4 of this thing is basically whipped cream. Something to keep in mind. I wasn't sure how well the cream would mix with the tanginess of the tea, but it worked. Very refreshing. I'd gladly come back at some point. Recommended.

The mango tastes ripe and balances out the creaminess of the coconut milk. 50% sugar was perfect for me.

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.
