For just $16.99, the set came with a fluffy strawberry chiffon cake, ice cream with dacaron, and chocolate-dipped strawberries with pistachio, plus a drink of your choice. I went with the Iced Strawberry Matcha and it was light, refreshing, and perfectly paired with the sweets. I also tried their matcha mochi, which was soft and chewy, and their buttery shortbread cookies in matcha, pistachio, and earl grey flavors--each one had a rich, homemade taste. The Shanghai Fog was also super smooth and comforting. They also have locally sourced coffee beans for purchase. Everything was beautifully presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting while the Sakura menu is still available!

I do appreciate how there is the option to appease the truly obsessive coffee fanatics with a 'self brew' option ($1 CAD off!) So you can tweak your own brew to your heart's content! I did not explore this option on my first visit, and I went with the ethiopian bean pour over, and it came out light and delicious! The space is a bit tiny. There is limited seating, but the space is also filled with all sorts of coffee related knick knacks. I greatly appreciate how the small batch whole bean roasting dates are printed on the bags so you know how fresh they are. I took home a 100 gram bag of ultra small batch coffee from Panama, and it was worth it!

He got a Blueberry Slushy drink and the wheel cake had red bean inside. Drinks are always solid at Peanuts and on the more affordable side too given what many other places will charge for bubble tea drinks these days. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of his wheel cake but that's no fault of the shop. Red bean is something I'm generally not crazy about to begin with. I have learned over the years that I can appreciate red bean as a bubble tea drink if it's all blended up. However, it's the chunks of bean that I don't like, and this wheel cake had chunks of bean in it. Might have gone over better with me if it had been filled with a smooth, red bean paste...no chunks of bean in it. That's just personal preference though. If you're someone who enjoys red bean paste and don't mind chunks, then you might enjoy this Taiwanese wheel cake.

It's also connected with Fife bakery so there are plenty of delicious pastries to try as well! The barista there was very nice and took the time to casually chat with customers whenever there was a lull, and the general atmosphere felt very calming. The only concern is how small the place is. Although I managed to get a seat, the place was almost entirely full and felt a little crowded with just around 5-10 people. But the seats are cute and also feature hanging hooks for jackets and bags which I loved very much!! Makes everything so much more convenient. All in all, a very great cafe to sit and chat with a friend over a cup of coffee～

My toddler wanted to eat too so we had to stick to vanilla. They also offered complementary powder: a choice of matcha, hojicha or kinako (roasted soy bean). I picked the kinako for my toddlers sake. I haven't bought a soft serve in a few year so I'm not sure whether purchased soft serves have shrunk in size as well.
