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 usually go to coffee shops to hangout and do some work or read online, while having coffee. I just realized this place has limited wifi, about 15 mins. Odd because it is standard everywhere now. Even laundromat's have wifi. I guess come here if ur just looking to have coffee quickly. Its not one of those places where one can finish something for work, study, or do a virtual meeting. As people stay longer people order throughout their stay, at least thats what I do. Disappointed about this aspect as I now have to drive further to my usual coffee shop.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

We arrived around 9:30 AM for brunch. On a typical day, I would have ordered the breakfast croissant, but I was feeling adventurous. I tried the chicken sandwich, which was served with fries topped with shredded Pecorino Romano. While the bun was pleasantly toasted, the chicken (with mayo, lettuce, and cucumber) lacked flavor. It tasted under-seasoned and needed an extra element to elevate it--perhaps pickles, cheese, or maybe even a different sauce to complement the flavor of the mayo. I found myself alternating bites of the sandwich with the fries, which were nicely crispy. The saltiness of the Pecorino actually helped balance the milder flavor of the chicken. To drink, I had a hot Americano. It was flavorful, not too watery, and served in a beautiful black mug. I would recommend this cafe if you are in the Richmond area and looking for a relaxing place to spend time with family or friends!

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!
