I've been to this specific location a few times now, usually when one is looking for a place that is open later but isn't a club, in the Richmond hill area. If anyone knows anything else, would love to hear about it!
I definitely like the concept Of a tea shop. The service is fairly quick and food or tea is out in under 5 minutes, tops! The menu has a wide assortment of teas, slush and frozen drinks to choose from. The food is mainly in appetizer type format good for a tea party, with an Asian twist.
They have 1000 year old egg which is like a black egg...not for everyone and its on my todo lists before I die... But I can fully attest to their condensed milk brick toasts ( chocolate is great) and waffles with green tea ice cream + fruits dishes....delicious!!!
They are fairly open about you staying there the whole day if reading or meeting friends, but heads up, no card playing is allowed, whether u r gambling or not. A company policy (I believe it includes dice) so take your monopoly deal or solitaire elsewhere!!!!
The prices can be steep but then I'm simplifying it to " why does a pot of flavored water cost 8$??" I don't know the overheads (they have a lot of employees which helps with the service but must also increase the costs) or how much love went into my pot of tea...
Overall I really like the ambience, service, clean washrooms, and concept but just can't say I'm a big fan until I can try out an alternative to compare against! If u know one, let me know ( for late night hangouts across the city)
