| - I really want to give a higher rating, but to be perfectly fair there is more room for improvement then not here.
I remember when this spot used to be a mmmmuffins (am I giving away my age now?) Currently it's a cha time which is located right beside the second mall entrance to the bay, and across of TD bank. From the outside the easiest entrance would be the mall entrance beside sporting life.
I would like to think I have been here often enough to see this location at it's best and worse. I do come to this mall a few times a week since there's a post office and a gym here, as well the mall is located close to a few large super markets. So when I'm in the mall I always find myself dropping by for some cha time.
They put out samples of their bake code goods which is a nice touch since their baked goods is a tad pricey. It's nice to be able to have a sample before spending $6 on a bun.
They have a good variety of drinks hot, cold, slush, coffee and so forth. They also have a pretty standard stock of bubble toppings (tapioca, aloe vera, grass jelly etc). I honestly have not had a horrible tasting drink from this place so far (roasted milk grass jelly tea anyone? It's tastier then it sounds!)
But where this place loses some street cred is the way they manage orders.
It's a nice touch you can customize your sugar and ice level in your drink, but it can really slow down a line when someone doesn't know what they want. Sometimes i see a frustrated persons face when all they want is to pay for a bun.
Also i have seen times when the line thins out, but the person in the back isn't making drinks fast enough.
They are getting better as they seem to have some more consistent workers, and it seems like it could be a fun place to work (saw a few of the workers taking pix with santa over the holidays), i assume it was a team building thing as the store was closed for a few hours.
Overall the drinks are good, and if your in the mall its worth a try. Just be prepared for some mistakes here and there, but over all the workers seem to genuinely want to please.
We all make mistakes, so its fine if your not in a rush.
