This place has been here FOREVER!  Almost before time itself, at least before Pacific Mall existed.  My parents were the ones that would come here for HK Milk Tea or Yuan Yang (Coffee/Tea Mixture).

Over time, I began to appreciate the drinks and when…More »

Unlike the previous reviews, I'm not going to rank the Egg Tart in terms of quality for this CITY because I just don't eat that many to know which one is better than which however I am going to rank it based on my personal taste and enjoyment.

Venturing around this Downtown Aurora isn't the most exciting activity to do for a Visitor.  There are some places that can let you get-away from it all into an Oasis and at Bonsai it's a Zen Tea Shop.

Green Grotto turned out to be a nice afternoon spot to relax in, which can't be said for those overcrowded disturbing nights or weekends when the School kids invade all Bubble Tea places available in the GTA.

Himalayan Saffron White Tea unfortunately cannot be noted as Tealish-ious.  For some reason, any flavours of White Tea will at the end taste like plain White Tea.  I didn't get any of the scent from Rose Petals, Cardamom nor Saffron.

This location of DavidsTea is within Promenade Mall so that means it operates during Mall hours.  Look for it on the second floor turning the corner from Coach and Swarovski.
