Burnaby is buzzin’ with new restaurants, and we’ve got two more spots to put on your radar.

First off, there’s some big news for bubble tea fans because Chicha San Chen is opening their first Canadian flagship store in Burnaby this month. This Taiwanese chain is passionate about all things tea. On their website, they say their flavourful teas are made in an “exclusive teapresso machine which is customized for each tea.”
