I think I found my go to place 30+ years from now as this Donut & Coffee shop opens 6 am where it's popular for the Chinese retirement villagers nearby to sip MILK TEA or Coffee while reading Chinese Newspaper and watching HK Morning News on the…More »
Yay! I got to wait with everyone else in the Club scene that was the Lobby waiting space near the seats and bar. I didn't know any of the others waiting but it felt like I was at a Yelp Elite event and wanted to walk through and start mingling…More »
At some point in my life, I've come to realize Tea or Chinese Tea to be precise was a big part of my routine. It's a part of my heritage and as part of the new generation living in North America, I knew diddly about it. What frustrated me most was…More »
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.

Lau Sun Mou was open so I went in looking to test some of my rookie Tea education at a "Chinese" Tea Shop. Chinese enough that an English speaker came in and Mr. Lau completed the transaction by just putting on a smile and nodding his head in a…More »
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.

It's quite a difficult assignment to get my Friend to 'Chill Out'. This place was one of the rare times where she was quieter than I was. Maybe the environment reminds her of the Zen-like Yoga Studio. Peace & Quiet is such a hard objective to…More »

Refers to the Beef Noodle($5.99) I had here, although not perfect it is pretty close to my image of it. One look at this wonder and I knew it was it, the exact same Red BRAISED Soup and Ingredients I had made in the past following…More »

Majesteas has a similar setting to other franchise Tea provider but compared to DavidsTea there is something that the friendly staff repeated to me a few times.
"Feel free to take a smell of the Tea" which applies to this place much more because the…More »

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.
If I never went to the one on Queen St. I would have had the initial image…More »
Tea & Treats isn't as FLASHY as it's competitors nearby such as Teaopia in Vaughan Mills but there's a nice calmness that should come along with the Tea purchasing experience rather than a rowdy group of Teens hounding your back. That's just my…More »
I slowly backed my ass out of Crown Prince Fine Dining & Banquet as soon as I realized my net asset near my rear asset only had a $5.00 paper currency. ABC Bakery a few doors down sounded more within my current Net Present Value so I went in more…More »
Hong Kong Cafes. It's a cultural topic in itself.
Each person has their own HK Cafe that they belong to. HK people no matter how they love to explore various Food cultures and new places, they will always have the local default Cafe(Cha Chan Teng)…More »
Fuji Mountain will get 1/2 of 5 *Stars* because it's not bad but it could be BETTER. I got a Blueberry Bun which was pretty much Blueberry Jam on a bun. Half the bakery displays were empty while the Egg Tarts and such didn't look enticing at this…More »
Serissa Cate began in Pacific Mall until their expansion to this Office Building Lobby location as their 2nd location that allows for sit down and services. It's not in the same realm as Destiny nor Go for Tea in scale and definitely not in a…More »
New 3rd location for Serissa Cate (Tea & Coffee).
New that no Wifi password is needed yet.
New that you can count their Magazines with 2 hands.
New, needs time to grow Magazine collection.
Decor, Music is nice same mood as other 2 spots.

It's definitely a Hong Kong style Bakery & Cafe... You'll get that unpleasant vision if you're not used to the somewhat uncleaned walls/surroundings. I grew up in this environment literally so doesn't bother me and the other HK regulars as you go…More »
Lai Doh played some of Jennifer K's favourite classic Hong Kong K(araoke)TV from the 70s/80s.
I'm surprised she didn't 5-star them just for that "Feature".
She pretends not to know who Leslie Cheung or Anita Mui(HK pop) are but the people in the…More »
The Chinese name for this place actually incorporates the term "Ice Chamber" which was a variation of the HK-style Restaurant. More info: http://en.wikipedia.or...
