This place is open on Sunday! Yay!…read more I actually came here just because there is a dearth of good independent coffee places in my area, and only 1 is open on Sunday mornings. Thanks to Yelp and the reviews, I stumbled onto this listing. The coffee shop is cute, very cute with Christmas ornaments and stocking fillers on sale. It also serves simple sandwiches (e.g. grilled cheese), baked goodies besides coffee. The flat white I had was good, comparable to those hipster coffee shops in Vancouver. It has its own regulars and people are friendly. I will come here again when I want to have a good cup of coffee and read a book. It is also not overly crowded on Sunday morning which is nice.

The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is…read morethe only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. All vegetarian. There's no vegan or gluten free options for afternoon tea, but the a la carte menu includes many clearly labeled vegan and GF dishes. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and very pleasant experience. I was so curious about this place that I made a trip out from Vancouver just to try it (and couldn't get anyone willing to go to Surrey for afternoon tea with me, hence the afternoon tea order for one), and it was worth the trip!

I was in Surrey watching my boyfriend's bowling tournament and loved how Zone Bowling had different businesses connected to the alley-- double entrances depending on if you wanted to go through the alley or just from the outside. I just got a classic Oolong milk tea with boba since that is one of my go-to's at home. It was very flavorful and the boba itself had a great texture! Also, there was just one person working who had to handle the busy line of money mangagement, making the drinks, and calling them out. Kudos to them!

I had their Blueberry scone ($4.95) and flat white ($5.10). Scone was not bad. There weren't much pastries to choose from when I was there after 4.

It was too expensive for just a small pastry and coffee.

I am not a huge fan of sugar. I got a Gluten free cookie. It was overly sweet for me, I couldn't eat even half of it. I don't think the marshmallows were necessary because it's already so sweet! If you're a sweet tooth and GF, this may be the cookie for you! If it only had half of the sugar, I would've loved it. I also got the matcha latte and didn't like it at all. It was grainy and the foam threw me off. If i'm having a hot beverage with foam, I like the foam to be velvety and silky smooth. But again, that's my personal choice and me being fussy. My colleagues had wraps and one said it was delicious. Service was great. The lovely ladies who served us were friendly.

One of the quiches came out smoking and burnt (had an actual charred spot) on the outside and when I went to bite it there were cold spots. The coffee was only mediocre and we were charged close to 50$ Last thing, 10 minutes before 2 pm the lady came over and told us that they were closed right then contrary to the signage on the door.
