    Tiramisu
    Sherry G.

    Since we were early for our Dolar Shop reservation, my spouse found this quaint cafe to go to. The atmosphere was cute and homey. The menu looked like a blend of a typical Asian milk tea place and a high tea place. My spouse got a Green Milk Tea at half sweetness with boba, and I got a Tiramisu. I thought the milk tea was a little watered down and not as sweet as I generally prefer. The boba was also not as soft as it should've been, though still relatively fine to chew. I thought the Tiramisu was great - sweet and creamy, though I personally wish there was a slightly higher proportion of cake. I love that this place uses so much reusable dishware. Even the boba drink was served in a milkshake glass instead of a plastic cup, which helped to create a more pleasant experience overall. If I'm ever in the area looking for a cute & casual cafe at which to chill or hang out with friends, this would be the place! ECO NOTES (Dine-In) Dine-In Dishware: Reusable cup, saucer, and glass Napkins: In a holder on the table, which I prefer because it allows me to use less (most places tend to give me napkins that are too large or too many) Utensils: Metal spoons plus disposable boba straw Water cups: Not automatically provided, which I prefer because that is a less wasteful policy

    Waffle with chicken nuggets, milk tea with pearls and milk tea with caramel pudding

    Leisure used to be the place my friends and i would go when we were in high school and then in university. It's been around for over 15 years at least. It's also one of the rare Taiwanese places that still exists in the Greater Vancouver. Finding parking continues to be an arduous task just like before. There is a parkade beside the restaurant but it's always packed and very small so that it's quite hard to manuever during busy times. The interior is well decorated with lots of wall decor and has an old world European vibe to it. It's a good place for gathering although it can get fairly busy later in the night. They offer a variety of coffee, tea, bubble tea drinks, desserts as well as savory options. I came here on a Friday night with my friend. We ordered: * Hot milk tea with pearls - your standard bubble tea * Milk tea with caramel pudding - I used to order this a lot. Leisure's pudding is made in house and quite good if you also like caramel pudding. * Waffle with Taiwanese chicken nuggets - the presentation of the food was good. The waffle was topped with julienned tomatoes and cucumbers, and drizzled with mayonnaise. In terms of taste, this one was a little disappointing. The waffle was soft and almost bread like. They used to make the waffle so that it's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside... Also, the nuggets weren't really seasoned so the chicken itself barely had any taste. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a place to chat and want to try some Taiwanese desserts, Leisure is an option. If you're looking for peaceful time to have a date, the afternoon period is good.

    We had the cheesecake and the pudding. The cheesecake wasn't too sweet. It had a good amount of cheese flavour and was fluffy like a Japanese cheesecake. The pudding wasn't as soft as I had remembered it. I didn't like the canned peaches around the pudding as it had a weird flavour/scent to it. The servers were fast and very helpful when ordering. Overall a great place to hang out with friends and chat. I've also had their other savoury options and they are not bad as a snack

    PURIN + WAFFLES = HAPPINESS Leisure Tea & Coffee in Richmond will forever be one of my favourite dessert cafes. The nostalgic interior, menu, and vintage cutlery makes you feel like you've been transported back in time. All the staff are super welcoming, and I think they make some of the best traditional Taiwanese style desserts. Their grass jelly, waffles, and caramel pudding are a must. I also think they make the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Have you guys checked out this classic cafe? 9/10 ‍10/10 $ (aprox. $10-$20/person) Leisure Tea & Coffee | 1110-8391 Alexandra Rd, Richmond

    Solid desserts. We shared a mango shaved ice and added a cream pudding. Very very tasty and hit the spot on a steamy hot day. One star off for using teapots with plastic lids. They used to serve tea with fancier teapots. The made in England cups, however, are still apprdc

    I was looking for a dessert place and ended up here. It's very comfy inside with the soft lights and wooden furniture. They have a big menu including tea, dessert, and other food. The servers are always around if you need them. I feel like I can enjoy a slow day in the cafe, it's nice.

    A very authentic warm and feels like 1980's atmosphere. With lovely servers and reasonable price. I love the tea's serve here, herb tea's are very organic such as the oolong milk tea and others are fresh like the fruity tea which contains real fruit. I enjoyed trying their different flavours and surprise as how fruits and leaf tea can go together. They do have both salty and sweets, we normally come here for their tea's and sweets, my favourite would be their tiramisu which I think the best balance of infused rum on it. Cheese cake is a well recommended and their Irish coffee. I ordered the caramel Pudding milky icy and honestly don't like it, I can eat the toppings on it but the rest were plain ice maybe I was expecting snowy cream thats why. Overall, this place is a lovely place for a relaxing hangout for tea's and some desserts.

    I came to Leisure Tea and Coffee as I was craving for some caffeine and something hot on a snowy winter day. The interior was very cute and reminded me of a homey cafe ambience in the 70s or 80s. I think the strength of this cafe is in their Taiwanese snacks and so many patrons had such delicious offerings on their tables! The coffee I got was good but would prefer other local roasters in the area. I am very interested in coming back to give some of their in house offerings and Asian inspired treats a try! I'm sure this review will need an update in the near future as my review was based only on the coffee!

    Strawberry crepe
    Kim K.

    Highly recommend this tea and dessert place. Stumbled here after going to the Fish Man for lunch next door. Pleasantly surprised by the laid back and homely decor and really feels like you're in a British tea house. The desserts and tea are also reasonably priced and I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks!

    Provence tea

    Leisure Tea Somewhere in time - 9.5/10 a pretty small portion - a decent amount of ice. Kinda shocking because i had it before, and got it again without realizing ive tried it before. Its solid and its made with a mix of fruits. Its a "secret" (they'll tell you if you need to know the ingredients) but its super fruity and refreshing! Its not too sweet but just the slightly tart and comes with real fruit! I would get it again, but i wish the portion was bigger. I would definitely get it again if i needed a refreshing drink! I feel like i havent this flavour anywhere else. It reminds me of candy, but not as sweet as candy Provence tea $5.75 9/10 a solid tea choice - really nice and i didnt need to add sugar or cream. It tastes quite sweet but not overly floral either Tiramisu $5.25 9.5/10 really smooth and creamy tiramisu! I really enjoyed it but i felt like the portion was small but tiramisu is usually pretty pricy. I haven't had a lot of tiramisu, but it's definitely worth trying here. I like it better than the strawberry shaved ice because i think its more worth it (while the canned strawberries are DELICIOUS - it is primarily ice) Super nice day to celebrate my besties birthday - interior is super cozy and the drinks and food is delicious Check it out!

    Sweet soup with pearls, taro chunks, sweet potato and taro balls, peanuts, kidneys, etc!

    Super cute cafe for those long catch-up chats or late night talks. It's one of the few that opens late until midnight (and 12:30am on Fridays/Saturdays). Once inside, it's a unique feeling because of the decor and different from typical BBT places - you'll know what I mean once you check it out! The decor is actually one of the reasons I like this place, bonus points! I'm not Taiwanese, but to me, their snacks and desserts taste authentic. I feel like their snack/dessert/drink menu has a wide range of variety, so each person will be able to get what they want! Also, they have items that typical BBT shops don't usually offer, like caramel pudding and crepes. My favourite thing to get is the 'sweet soups' - you can get them hot or cold. I like mine hot. It comes in a mug with a spoon and you can customize it by adding your favourite items, like bubble tea but much more variety! My favourites to add include taro chunks, tofu pudding, kidney beans, and taro and sweet potato balls - a very Taiwanese dessert! (I actually don't know anywhere else where they serve 'sweet soup' so if you do, please leave me a message!) The only downside about Leisure Tea is that if you want a full on meal, they don't really have that. The closest thing is probably sandwiches that they serve. But definitely one of my favourite places to stop by for snacks and chats.

    crushed ice with mung bean, taro balls, bubbles, condensed milk
    Shirley H.

    i've being trying to find authentic taiwanese crushed ice dessert with mung bean topping in toronto for ever, and finally found it on the west coast in richmond! there's just something extremely refreshing about mung beans and crushed ice. the condensed milk gives it the perfect level of sweetness. the place is just the right amount of people for a weekday night at 9pm. great place for a date with your friend or just a study date by yourself. will definitely come back for the crushed ice again next time i come to vancouver!

    Leisure blend coffee $5.25  Japanese plum and lemon $6.25  Kumquat tea $5.50  Latte $7.75

    CASH ONLY! Leisure tea and coffee Walked in the cafe a young female server welcomed four of us with an uninterested vibe, showed us our seats and gave two menus. Nobody came up to check up on us, had to raise my hand to get our order. At this time it wasn't busy. We ordered: Leisure blend coffee $5.25 Taiwanese sausage $7.75 Japanese plum and lemon $6.25 Kumquat tea $5.50 Latte $7.75 Coffee and tea is super over priced, I'm guessing due to being served in porcelain cups. Our food and drinks took more than 20 minutes to arrive. I'd say the bubble teas are worth the price since the portion is good. Suggestion for the place would be they should have the receipt in English as well since not ever customer can read Chinese or is Chinese. Towards the end it got busy, asked for the bill from an older lady who is professional, smiles, served us quickly, and checked up on us. Didn't get her name but she was amazing.
