When walking in the door you are greeted with fresh baked goods that tempt the taste buds making you excited for what is to come. We ordered from the small brunch menu...bacon, eggs, a biscuit with rhubarb compote and potato chips. Oh the flaky biscuits with the rhubarb compote and a slice of bacon was delicious. We also ordered some desserts because they were just so tempting...chocolate pate with caramel sea salt and a salted caramel and chocolate biscuit pudding. We thought they both sounded individually delicious and were excited to try the two together! The Salted Caramel and chocolate biscuit pudding was my favourite thing we ordered! It was moist and the caramel was the perfect balance of salty and sweet. I would love to come back during the summer and have a glass wine on the patio overlooking that view!

The young lady behind the counter was just a delightful person answering a lot of questions and being very helpful. We were so focused on the candy, we did not realize that they also have ice cream. This is a good place for some gift purchases. You can be sure that people will enjoy whatever you get them from here.

Signs announced internet and phone were down-cash only. We've been traveling on debit/credit cards, and asked if they would accept USD. Yes, but only at face value; unwilling to do the conversion (25% markup). Ok, sure. Ordering dinner our server offered a swap of fries for a side salad, explaining there was a mark-up only after I ordered (another 5% markup). Dinner arrived, with only 1 pre-packaged tartar sauce. When I asked for 1-2 more I was informed the charge is $.25/each. Message received The food was pretty good, but this place is NOT for tourists. The owner/staff doesn't want you here-or at least doesn't want US tourists. Staff quashed our every attempt at friendly interaction. They obviously don't understand that the MAGA idiots don't travel, especially out of the country. I get folks dislike the policies of US leadership, but believe me we're not fans either. Being tarred with the anti US brush was a disconcerting and unhappy experience. Let the locals enjoy their meal without tourists while you try something more welcoming

This is a follow up review after trying another box of 24 chocolates that were shipped to me. This…read morewas a much better experience. I have found a description of some of the chocolate flavours online. There are still several chocolates in the box which are not shown online, especially the decorative holiday designs. I had to bite the bullet (i.e. chocolate [pun intended]) and hope for the best. Unlike the last time, the box was filled with chocolate flavours that I really liked. Some are very original like blueberry tea and the blue speckled dome-shaped dark salted butter caramel. Most of the chocolates shifted out of place, turned upside down or sideways in transit (see photo). I've been in touch with an executive at the company who knows about the issue and is planning to change the packaging. Hopefully, they will also enclose in each box a QR code or website address/URL detailing all their chocolate flavours. I appreciate that someone reached out to me when they read that my experience wasn't as positive as they or I would have liked. This is a company that cares about its customers and reputation. Their handcrafted chocolates are beautiful with many looking like works of art.

The house coffee, T52, was very tasty. The shopkeeper introduced it to me as the "special double double," but I'd say it's the usual Korean milk coffee. It was creamy, pleasantly sweet, but not too sweet like the actual double-double. The matcha custard taiyaki was the star of all of these - the outer layer was super crispy (it even had some pieces fall off as the "chips," which I could use to dip the whipped cream and chocolate sauce on the plate). The taiyaki cake itself was just perfect. It was crispy on the outside but super soft and creamy inside, and very fresh and hot. The custard was sweet, comforting and delicious, which was perfectly paired with the outer buttery skin. I don't think anything else could beat this combo as the perfect breakfast. The shop was super clean, well-organized and comfortable. The service was excellent. I love this cafe. 4 stars because it's a bit pricy.
