We couldn't even here our server unless they were yelling. It's nearly impossible to make conversation with our table mates. The food was good, but a bit pricey. We got nachos to share for $10 but the serving size isn't very big. We also got the tacos which came out to be around an additional $25 per person, not including tax and tip. It tasted good, but the portions were not very big. Expect to spend a lot to be full.

A big bonus that they have a lot of take-out food from sushi to bento boxes and donburi. You know it's a great place when they have a steady stream of customers buying. Prices are super reasonable and a bit cheaper than other places, food is yummy and street parking is free. I didn't know that you can also order sushi from their menu and go there to pick up. I will definitely be back to try this out!

Modern, contemporary design with plenty of warm woods. Tho its my first time here, my friend spent almost half her visits to Commercial Drive at this cafe. Initially we were just going for gelato, as there are some unique flavour offerings. I was SO happy to have chosen the honey-lavender. AND I could not leave without buying their gorgeous massive pecan caramel rolls! Took one home (gave the other to my friend) & was able to eat it across a few days. I was amazed how well it kept! Forgot to take a pic before I dove into it. Next time! (find me on Instagram via @aida.loves ) Will obviously be back...

I had an individual sized chocolate cake and it did not skimp on the ingredients. They know how to make and store icing here. The cake was so moist that it wasn't sloppy. Very well done.

In Paris, we had vegan pastries many of our days there and afterwards, my hands were so oily....not at To Live For. After the delicious and crunchy croissant was devoured, my hands were dry.

I tried the Cinnamon rolls too - I loved that the server made sure I got the more desirable middle pieces rather than the corners. Passionfruit white chocolate croissant cube (5/5) Cinnamon roll (3/5) - it was a bit more on the denser drier side despite microwaving it slightly to try to warm & revive the texture. The icing topping was ok. I had to remind myself that this was a VEGAN bakery. So no butter or eggs, which is extremely impressive to execute the pastries and creamy filling to the texture that they did. Definitely would come back for their feature pastries!

I also got the passionfruit cheesecake which was out of this world.

The service is friendly, and they were very helpful with helping us choose the cheesecakes Ambience, wise, it is nothing to rave about, but it is not bad either. Highly recommend this place if you want cheesecake

Now, they have 2 locations on Commercial drive and in Port moody. I got several kinds of cheese cakes for Thanksgiving gathering. What we got: Classic Vanilla, Espresso, Earl grey, Mango, Passion fruits, Pumpkin spice, Chocolate, Houjicha, Birthday, Salted caramel, oreo, Peanut butter, It was good deal - buy 5 get 1 free. I could not have all flavor, Most of them went to other guest. I got Houjicha, and a little bit of salted caramel. Texture was as always rich and firm. I felt flavor was a bit weak for houjicha, still it was very delicious. Salted caramel was great, strong caramel flavor. I labeled flavor name on the top of cheesecake, so, all guest were so curious about all flavors. Birthday cake, mango, oreo, were popular between kids, adult prefer earl grey salted caramel, others. Overall, it was a lot of fun to share variety of cheese cake! I highly recommend to get them for occasion or for yourself.
