Check out the review of Ki Tea House Café in the blog post below.
Ki 木Tea House Cafe is located very close to Royal Oak Skytrain Station, and it is next to Camelia Tea and Coffee. It is a pretty cute cafe. If you are an anime lover, you would love this cafe.
We ordered waffles for two to share. They made it fresh when you order. 👍 We expected a little more crispy.
Great place to go and chat with friends.
Food: 3.5/5

Favourite study spot when I was living in the hood. Good desserts, especially the waffle (super yum!), good americano, and great staff. Toilets are clean which is an important criterion for me as a study spot hahha! Also lots of plugs! Recommend if you like to study in a cafe like me! :D
Ps. Yeah, DON'T get their bbt. 😂
Finally found my new study spot in Burnaby!
I noticed Ki at their old location near Kingsway and never really paid attention to them until they moved closer to Royal Oak skytrain. The space is much larger now and is student-friendly with many large tables and power plugs for you to use. The place is nice, warm and filled with scents of fresh waffles and tea!
However, the drinks were meh.
I ordered the honey green milk tea with pearls. It was very watery and barely had any tastes of honey or tea. The pearls weren't that satisfying either. I waited half an hour for them to cook because I came in right when they opened, but the pearls were obviously not coated in the brown sugar and just were really hard to chew.
Will come back for sure, but will probably just stick with items from their coffee menu next time!
Funnily enough, this is right next door to Camellia Tea & Coffee. It's smaller, has cheaper cakes, and none of the off-putting posted-clearly admonitions. In fact, their sidewalk sign encourages "study and socialize", and they have extension cords to ensure easy access for laptops, which were plentiful when we dropped in right after checking out Camellia Tea & Coffee.
Typical Asian Cafe. I first found out about Ki Tea House Café on Facebook. Finally found myself free one warm afternoon and decided to check this place out. The cafe is located just a few steps out of Royal Oak Skytrain Station and is next door to another popular cafe/bakery (Camellia). The inside of the cafe has a minimalistic with a dabble of that 'vintage princess' decor on the side where they sell loose leaf teas (which smell wonderful by the way). They have a menu of variety thats for sure. They have hot drinks, bubble tea, pudding, cake, and waffles as well. This is a cafe well suited to high school or university students looking for a chill place to study (wifi if needed) or just to satisfy their sweet tooth. Overall, nothing quite special. Basically sort of the same vibe as tealips.
Liked the waffles. Came here a little while ago to check our their waffles and they did not disappoint. Had the matcha flavoured ones - they were delicious, had a nice chewy but not too chewy texture and the portion was quite good. Tried an apple turnover which wasn't very good and tasted old. Will come again to try out the bubble tea and to enjoy waffles again. They offer up those waffle sandwiches similar to what you find at Miura.
Quick service, delicious waffles and convenient location!. Burnaby has a lot of tea houses, but this one definitely stands out! It's close to the sky train and there's free parking right outside. When you walk into the cafe you are greeted by friendly and cute servers :) I totally recommend the waffles, especially their okonomiyaki waffle, very unique, very tasty and a must try!
Everything is very reasonably priced and I hear it's cosplay friendly too!
It's a great location if you want to study, work on your laptop or just hang out with friends. Unlike other places that are very cramped and smelly, Ki Tea House is very open and a great atmosphere. I enjoyed that there were places to plug in my lap top and that they provided free wifi!
If you are in the Royal Oak Station neighbourhood I recommend visiting this cafe and sampling their delicious food and drinks!
THE CHAIRS ARE TOOOO SLIPPERY ON MY BUTT

Ordered a waffle, got more than expected. To set the mood for my story's origins: I first found Ki Tea House on a dark and stormy night. I was overcome with hunger after attending my parents' funeral, which was a bleak affair, especially with the CEO of my father's company staring at me oddly the entire time. Anyway, I wanted a snack and something to warm me up, so I swung into Ki for a pastry and a latte.
I found myself overcome with the magic of the place, shelves filled with books from far off lands and strange ingredients which had intoxicating aromas. A quiet woman worked behind the counter and beckoned me forward. As I slowly approached, I saw a collection of waffles, each one uniquely decorated and shimmering with a strange aura. The woman saw me staring and asked "Would you like to try one?" My tummy answered for me with a growl, and she handed me a waffle unlike any other I have had before. Flavours indescribable filled my senses, as though I were eating a delicacy from a far-off universe. The meal was a euphoric blur.
That night, I awoke startled from a strange dream that I still cannot remember, but it felt important. I had an odd feeling, slightly lightheaded, so I went for a glass of water. I floated out of bed and down to my kitchen and stopped mid-pour when I realized that I had *literally* floated! I wasn't light-headed, I was just light. Light as air, light enough to fly. The shock from my new-found power startled me and caused me to rocket straight up and hit my head rather hard on the ceiling, which left me a nasty bump. It was then that a cosmic visage appeared before me and explained that a magic waffle had imbued me with powers or something, but I wasn't listening because I was distracted from the painful bump on my head.
So all in all, I had a really great waffle but it left me with a mild injury. I give it one thumbs-up out of one.
Great homemade waffles, & the BBT is fine.
The inside of this establishment is quite spacious and clean. There’s a couple of large communal tables in the middle of the cafe as well as a number of smaller tables on the perimeter and a small patio. When I first entered the shop, the first thing that I noticed was the large white board with hand-drawn anime.
