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 don't know whether it's the machine, coffee beans or what but it has been consistently GREAT! I hate Starbucks because I find they are either too bitter or bland. There ain't no flavour and the prices, ridiculous. I also refuse to use their lingo if I happen to be there. The regular size is $3 but I usually get the large for $3.5 and share because it's double the regular size.

The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.

We had a crepe made of buckwheat that was solid and good amount of filling. I had the pate plate with baguette and cornichons which was nice to cut the richness of the pork lard. I had the Boeuf Bouregionne and it was delicious and savoury. I used the excellent baguette to sop up all the gravy. Best this ever was they had croissants to go and had them warmed the next morning in the air fryer. Wonderful way to start the day! Surprised at the small offering of French wine but understandable since they are a mom and pop cafe. Very friendly.

Refreshing and good perfect contrast of sweet and tart. 8.5/10 * Honey green tea ($3.99) ~ refreshing and again no too sweet. You taste the honey and green tea nicely. Not overpowering honey. 7.5/10 * Original egg waffle skewer ($5.99) ~ very interesting, it's a cake like texture but also a bit bouncy like a sponge. It wasn't too sweet and had no filling. 6/10. * Chocolate egg waffle skewer ($5.99) ~ similar to the original but had chocolate coating inside. I wish it was more filled but it added a nice chocolate texture. 6.5/10 * Curry fish ball ($4.99) ~ bomb this was my fav thing here! It was chewy and bouncy and that curry sauce was delicious with a nice slight kick of heat! I'd come back for the fish balls. 8/10. * Oden ($13.99 for combo with drink or $1.99 each) ~ unique and had a variety it wasn't too salty and had a good taste: I liked the oden radish the most. 7/10 * Egg waffle mini burger ($12.99) ~ very unique and perfect to share. Legit bite sized and good flavour and texture I like their house made spicy mayo. It had a super light kick but overall pretty unique. 7.5/10 * Mentaiko shake shake udon ($12.99) ~ interesting and cold. The udon was chewy and bouncy and the mentaiko paired well with the octopus. I liked that it had octopus in it and it's a refreshing cold noodle. I liked the seaweed in it as well. 6.5/10. * Overall this place is unique and has a lot of interesting items.

They have some really tasty croissant sandwiches made with fresh quality ingredients, which can be paired with a myriad of coffee / juice / tea options. I stop by frequently for a light meal or snack since I walk by this shopping centre often. A huge bonus (at least for me since I rarely carry cash) is that they accept credit cards; the majority of Asian food court businesses in Richmond take only cash or sometimes debit. Staff has been friendly to me for each visit, and I always look forward to ordering from here.
