Ever wonder what it feels like to be Royaltea?
The Signature Afternoon Tea here is as good as it gets in Vancouver.

WOW!

So far this is the best place I have found to buy quality loose teas in Vancouver. I spend about $20 on Organic Tanzania and Earl Grey teas, which lasts us about four months. We drink it every morning!
I do wish they would bring in a couple of new…More »

My go-to cookie place at UBC is losing a star. Heavens, say it ain't so.
Unfortunately the last three visits yielded semi doughy cookies and bitter lattes. What the heck Blue Chip?
Your muffins are still pretty good. But come on, lets face it. We…More »

OK. I have only tried their Chai here a couple of times, but it is absolutely incredible. So rich and smooth.

Their top seller Creamy Earl Grey doesn't hold a teacup to Bayswater's version!

We were running low on our morning beverage of choice, so I picked up a 100grams of the CEG yesterday for $9.95.

The first letdown was the smell as I jammed my nose in the…More »

Pretttttty Pretttty Prettty good in my best Larry David voice.

It is always so quiet in here. Kinda like a nice smelling library.
I am hooked on their Floral twist earl grey, and the Creamy EG is our house standard.
