However, the next time I came here I got a latte and the Aloha Acai Bowl. Both were so good! I also love that this place has a ton of seating! So you can usually find a seat even when its really busy. Definitely a nice spot to hang out in Kerrisdale!

I assumed since I took a number and they brought my food to the table, they would also bring my drink. By the time I figured it out that I'm supposed to go up to the counter, the coffee was cold. I wish they would have told me when I ordered up front. Isn't that what a tip is for? PS getting tired of tipping if I have to stand to order my food, pick up my own drink all before actually eating and getting service.

Now they open Mon - Sat 8 am - 4 pm which is better. This is a very welcoming cafe. Every time we enter the cafe we are warmly welcomed by the owner or the staff members. To me this is really a +1 star as I believe business owners should connect with customers so they know better what the customers want relationship building is important to local business. We ordered the Daisy dogs and Mozzarella twist. They are freshly made and baked in the kitchen. Texture and taste are natural and yummy. Coffee is undoubtedly in good quality. The vibes is good. The ambient music not too loud and the light condition is perfect. I'd definitely recommend this bakery cafe and visit again more often.

Fully expected to see more than presented, our biggest surprise was how expensive their baked goods are for the size. Compared to Michele's Cake Shop or Cafe Artigiano, it was underwhelming and overpriced. There were a handful of small tables available, the shop was virtually empty. We did not find anything suitable to eat so we decided not to stay. I can't comment about the coffee quality but I think they need to reconsider the prices and selection if they want to build a loyal following.

I dropped by here for a Peppermint Hot Chocolate back in December. They had some gorgeous looking…read moredesserts in their display case. Larger versions were available to for the Holiday season. My Peppermint Hot Chocolate was decent. Nothing to write home about. I think it could have been hotter. I've tried some desserts from this place before. I have a feeling if I'd ordered a dessert to go with my hot chocolate, I would have probably been more impressed with the dessert than the hot chocolate. For what they were offering, and compared with other fancy desserts in other places, I think the prices were pretty average. Average these days though tends to be on the pricey side I think, no matter where you go. I didn't feel like splurging on this particular night. Giving this place an "OK" rating since my hot chocolate was really just OK. If you're looking to splurge a bit though, based on my past experience...I'd recommend trying the desserts.

The mains being served smelled quite good in the air, but since I had a big lunch, I just ordered a ginger turmeric tea and a gluten-free tiramisu brownie. There weren't too many GF options but I did enjoy that brownie! My order for those two items totaled to a little less than $14. I found that pricey, especially since my drink was only a 12oz hot tea My take--I probably won't re-order my last order, but I'd like to come by again to try a main menu item and their coffee! :)

Signature flaky pastry with a vibrant center of whipped matcha cream layered over tangy strawberry jam, finished with a fresh strawberry and matcha dusting. Dough was very crispy outside just like they described signature flaky pastry. And whipped matcha cream had strong matcha flavor, very creamy and not overly sweet. So, it paired with strawberry jam so well. Strawberry jam had well-balanced tangy and sweet flavors, I really liked it. I highly recommend this item! Service was very good and friendly

Unfortunately, "good question. I don't know," were not helpful to my inquiry regarding ingredients in the sandwhiches.

I asked for it to be reheated, and when half of the sandwich was warm while the other still cold. It was not good. The cafe is nice for to grab a drink in and service was friendly.
