Cute little cafe with lots of pastries and savoury goods as well. We came here for the drinks and…read morewas a bit overwhelmed with how good the pastries looked (didn't know which one to try!) Ended up getting the pistachio and Dubai chocolate croissant. As for the drinks, we got the matcha and the Hojicha with espresso shots. They serve coffee from Hatch (which is probably one of my favourite back in Toronto). Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the croissants fresh but they were still tasted buttery and flakey. The flavour and sweetness was the right amount (perfect for my Asian tastebuds). The drinks were also really good! It was pretty busy inside but there's plenty of seating (might not be great if you want to chill and study but great for hanging out with friends). Service was good, staff is friendly and our order was made fairly quickly. I would come back and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

Plus, their croissants are big in size and are great for sharing. Their place is beautifully decorated with lots of seating. The workers were kind and friendly. We ordered the Croissant au Pistachio Rose and the Dubai Chocolate Croissant. Both had the perfect amount of flakiness and softness. The Dubai Chocolate was decadent while the Pistachio Rose was nutty with a delicate taste of floral.

They have some seating available, including floor cushions. There is a sign that states limit to one hour when busy which I can understand. We arrived shortly before the post Iftar rush. It got very busy very quickly. Staff seemed to be overwhelmed as they get through all customers. We waited to have our order taken but sat down when they were busy. Eventually we placed our order and waited. Since we only got an adani chai and kunafa, we got our items quickly. The Adana chai was cooked well, it was creamy and flavourful. We got sugar sticks $.75 the concept it great, however, the stick breaks very quickly leaving your drink incredibly sweet so make sure to not leave it in there if you want a somewhat sweet tea. The kunafa was $12 for a piece. This was dissatisfying, it appeared to be re-heated because that was definitely not a fresh kunafa. It was dry and around the edges. We only had a few bites and left it. Overall, They have a large selection of drinks to choose from, and sandwiches. It appears to be incredibly busy during Ramadan but I will definitely come back to have the tea again.

I've been wanting to try this Yemeni cafe for some time now, but it's not in an area that I…read morefrequent. However, I finally got around to it. Overall the food was good. I got takeout and got the Liver Platter $14.15, which was liver with onions, bell peppers and chili peppers. It came with Tanoor bread, which is a flat bread. The liver was piping hot and very flavourful, but some pieces were a bit tough with chewy pieces I couldn't eat. I was disappointed that the bread was not warm, just room temperature, but it was soft and chewy and still ok. The Liver Platter is their most popular dish. The inside of the cafe is nice. There are some regular tables, some high tables and some low tables where you sit on cushions. Those tables are pretty but they were occupied, so I couldn't take a picture for y'all. There's a live bird in a cage in the cafe, a musical instrument on the wall and other cool decorations. My visit was during the Covid-19 Pandemic and mask mandates were still in effect. However, I noticed that one of the people working there (I think he's the owner, bald guy) was interacting with customers at a distance of less than 6 feet (not behind plexiglass) while not wearing a mask. The young guy sweeping the floors was wearing a mask (and he wore it the entire time I was there), but the bald guy wasn't when I entered the cafe. As I was waiting for my food, more people came in and at that point he put on a mask, but it was so loose, I could see nose. This is what I observed. The cafe seems cozy and I like the decor. I may consider returning once the Pandemic is over. The cafe is in a little plaza (same plaza as Pizza Hut) and there's free parking in the shared parking lot.

Omg! Mochi donuts have arrived in Ottawa!…read more Note: this shop is actually called "TP Tea X Mochi Bakehouse", as it is both a bubble tea shop and a bakery. This is how I created the listing on Yelp, but the Yelp Moderators changed it to just "TP Tea" and removed the "Mochi Bakehouse" part. {shrug} So like every week I search on Google for "mochi donuts near me" (lol) and I always get hits for places in Toronto. Then one day, I saw this TP Tea X Mochi Bakehouse place on Baseline Rd appear as a search result. Was it for real? It had no reviews and only external pictures. Was it even open yet? I continued to watch that search result for a few days. Then on October 23, 2023, three reviews popped up, one with a picture of bubble tea and the reviews mentioned how tasty the mochi puffs were. Turns out that was their soft opening day. Well, guess what? I went the next day! Their grand opening won't be until December though. I had my heart set on getting some mochi donuts, but they did not have any (and for some reason weren't able to make any), so I got mochi puffs instead. I got 12 for $9.50. I was able to choose 2 flavours, so I got Strawberry and Nutella Hazelnut Butter Cookie Crumble. They were so delicious! They are a bit like loukoumades but with that dense mochi chewiness. The outside was a bit crispy. I loved the texture. Service was friendly and informative. The place is beautiful. They have a pink flowered wall, a nice chandelier, a pink tree and lots of seating. A really cute place for a date or to catch up with friends. It's in the Lone Star Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. Looking forward to returning to try their mochi donuts! Especially the Ube Coconut flavour.

The decor is nice the place left most of the previous store decor and style which was really nice too. Our server was kind and tried his best to accommodate us. I got the pesto croissant and honestly it was on the crunch side, maybe over baked a bit. We got the pesto sandwich was ok and the turkey sandwich was decent. For dessert we wanted the milk chocolate chip pan but they were out so we got the hot chocolate one with smore ( they are vegan) which was too sweet to my taste.

Timing worked out perfectly because by the time we ordered and got the coffee, we got the call to head back. There are a couple small tables outside which is nice on a good day. I didn't really check out the inside, but it looked like a cute spot. My boyfriend enjoyed his coffee, no complaints. I tried to order a hot chocolate but they didn't have the syrup, so I didn't end up getting anything. Still seems like a nice little café for a quick stop, especially if you're waiting nearby.

However, given this luxury look, you should expect the prices to also give that same energy because these desserts are pricey! We ordered a total of 3 desserts and 4 teas, each dessert was around $11-$13... i think the total for everything after tax was close to $70... so though the presentation of the desserts were lovely and gorge!! The prices.... In this economy.... Is crazy. It's good to maybe try it once, twice, or for special occasions, but definitely not something to get regularly :P

This was my first time having a croffle, but as a croissant lover, I definitely enjoyed this more than a regular waffle since it had that flaky texture of a croissant. The croffles were a treat to have, and made fresh after you place your order so it's still warm when it gets served. There are a number of flavors/toppings to choose from, and a few simple drink options (water, tea, coffee, pop) . We ordered the Strawberry and Buenos flavours. The person behind the counter was friendly, and the interior was quite cute with its black tables and chairs, and pink walls.

When he showed me what he got me, I put my nose up to it and said "just a waffle" This is not just a waffle , it's croissant pastry baked in a waffle iron, which takes it to a whole other level in the dessert game. By the time I devoured it, it was cold, but I think I prefer it this way. Def going to make a stop in when I'm in the area.
