I tired the ocean breeze or something to that effect which is coconut water with coffee foam, sounds sus and it does taste strange but I really wanted the coconut water so it worked out after all, it wasn't the most enjoyable or amazing combination but I got to enjoy my coconut water. I was likely thirty which hey, likely is perfect for a hot summer day when you needed something thirsty quenching but also needed the dose of caffeine.

Visiting from out of town and tried all the coffee/breakfast sandwich locations in the Point Grey…read more/West Kits locale. Long story short, our favorite coffee/breakfast spot is Storm City. Rather than microwaved fare, the breakfast sandwiches appeared to be more made-on-the-spot. We tried and loved the Brie/Apple croissant, the vege breakfast sandwich, and the Chicken Panini sandwiches. The coffee was very good, but most caffès make good espresso drinks now. The ambiance is wonderful if you enjoy large windows, sunlight, modern decor, and a generous patio with tables, chairs, sofa seating, and sofas. Service with a smile - can't go wrong with that these days. A great place to fuel up for the day.

I had to try the Sparkling Tomato because I'm always excited by innovative flavours! It's made…read morewith fresh tomato and basil, topped with confit tomatoes -- sweetened tomatoes that are SO yummy! The tomatoes were so soft and juicy... but also somehow impossible to squeeze through the straw So naturally, I ended up eating them all. No complaints though -- I LOVE basil! The Sparkling Tomato comes with your choice of matcha: Shizuoka -- bitter & earthy Kagoshima -- sweet & nutty Yame -- umami & rich I love how creative Mitchie Matcha is with their flavours. Tomato + basil + matcha might sound unusual, but it works and makes the drink really fun to try! Next time, I'm definitely going for the Salted Maple Matcha

They have three main matcha types, i got the kagoshima ($1 extra) which is more nutty. I like how…read morethe matcha latte isn't sweet. They have other milk alternatives such as soy or oat, with no extra charge. If you prefer the sweeter ones, the oat milk would be a good choice to get with the matcha. Their house special, the earl grey matcha is good too. There's a strong flavor of earl grey which accentuates the nutty flavor. The interior is nice and cute. There's some seats available, but mostly for two people.

I stopped by Whisk to try their limited-edition Tatcha collaboration. The promotion is definitely a…read moregreat deal--buy the special matcha drink and receive a 50ml Tatcha cleanser, which makes it worthwhile if you're interested in the skincare product. Unfortunately, the drink itself was quite disappointing. Since it's vegan, it was made with coconut cream instead of dairy, but the overall flavor was light and bland. The coconut foam didn't add much richness, and for a $9.50 drink, it felt underwhelming. It reminded me more of wheatgrass than matcha. I've had Whisk's matcha chocolate drink during hot chocolate festival before, and actually enjoyed them. Maybe will come again for their regular matcha drink.

I visited Whisk Matcha cafe for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival special item…read more What I got: Matcha no Haru Parfait Plant-based spring parfait with housemade strawberry jelly, coconut condensed milk, strawberry whip, matcha rice crispy squares, and matcha & sakura soft serve. Topped with a hand-piped sakura flower by Megu of M Tokyo Confectionery. I just want to say... It was sooo good! Matcha vanilla soft serve's matcha flavor was strong, very soft and creamy and so delicious. Then, Matcha rice crispy squares paired with soft serve so well. I could not really taste matcha from rice crispy, may be because I mixed with soft serve. And there were strawberry jelly, strawberry puree, and strawberry whip at the bottom. When I mixed together with soft serve and rice crispy, It is so addictive. This item was definitely one of the best item at this festival in 2026. Presentation was so beautiful. I really want to get it again. As usual , owner was very friendly and provided nice service, however, one staff attitude was not really pleasant.

We revisited Interlude cafe which is my favorite cafe inside of Little pisces…read more What we ordered: Raspberry Danish latte(converted to matcha instead of espresso) Mango sticky rice matcha latte Mango sticky rice cloud Raspberry Danish latte was very delicious! the cream form paired with raspberry syrup and matcha flavor. I am addicted to this drink. Highly recommend! Mango sticky rice matcha latte was also very delicious item. Mango puree at the bottom was very very creamy and tasted better with mixing with matcha part. I could not really taste Sticky rice, but, I believe this extra creamy form meant to the sticky rice texture. I didn't have Mongo sticky rice cloud, my friend said it was just ok and liked mango puree.

In today's world, I don't blame them that everything is shrinking in portion, especially when it's free . They didn't have the flavor of the month so it was only matcha or vanilla. My toddler wanted to eat too so we had to stick to vanilla. They also offered complementary powder: a choice of matcha, hojicha or kinako (roasted soy bean). I picked the kinako for my toddlers sake. I haven't bought a soft serve in a few year so I'm not sure whether purchased soft serves have shrunk in size as well.

Was taking a walk around the area and stumbled upon this place - located right by a little park, so…read moreI would assume they will get very busy during the warm months. Service was very quick, and cashier was super friendly and was giving off positive vibes. Just got my standard Oat milk Hojicha latte, which is my normal first drink at new place (when offered) - They have lots of sweet treats available - so might need to pay them another visit in the future. In terms of the drink itself, it was slightly more bitter then I'm used to. And remember to mix your drink well, as it was pretty clumpy and wasn't whisked very well - hoping that it was a one off.

Tbh, I forgot this place was in the area. Finally got around to trying it out…read more It was a nice, bright and clean space with a few spaces to sit and enjoy a drink or pastry. They had so many options on their menu for drinks and some really interesting options too. I tried the iced matcha mango coco and wow! Just wow! It was different in its own way and I really enjoyed the combination. I love mango but I also love matcha so I just had to try it out! Definitely a great addition to the area

I looooved the storefront itself; it appears that they make their own toppings and have local suppliers for their tea products. You're able to purchase these supplies, as well as artsy pieces made by local small businesses. There was tons of cute Pokemon merchandise! Friendly staff, a good recommendation for matcha and cute little souvenirs. Need to try their milk tea products next time!

This is a cute shop. They sell a bunch of refreshing tea drinks and also have a small "Makers"…read morecorner in the shop where they sell cute odds n ends that one would normally find inside a Makers shop. I love the crocheted items. They are so cute. We ordered a Baiko Matcha and a Pink Lychee. Both drinks were enjoyable but I honestly didn't taste much Lychee in my drink. I tasted mostly Strawberry in it. I think I would probably choose some kind of tea beverage next time. After all, with a name like Teaspoons & Co., I guess they would excel in making tea rather than a fruity drink like Pin Lychee. I love the selection of goods on their shelves. Passionfruit Syrup and Wintermelon Syrup both caught my eye. The Wintermelon Syrup I found to be especially unique. I have definitely never come across Wintermelong Syrup in a store before. I was very tempted to buy one of them but in the end, ended up restraining myself. Might buy one next time though.
