This place has been around for many years but I've only now gotten around to trying it…read more It's a cute little place. 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.

Although the portions were small for what you get, it wasn't out of the park crazy. We got the strawberry and oreo shaved iced with the strawberry one being better. I felt like the oreo was super powdery and tastes "dry" due to all the powder. It does take FOREVER for our orders to come out though so if you have a large group, one person will finish their order before the last person gets theirs!

It's a super quaint spot with limited seating but on nicer days there's no need to dine in when you can just take your order outside to enjoy Steveston! I came here before for the mini tayakis and loved them, it was also a nice surprise to find that the server gave us an extra one. I really enjoyed the berry bingsoo, and when you think you've gotten through all the good stuff, you find there's an extra layer of fruit at the bottom YUM. The servings are little smaller than other bingsoo spots but I strongly feel the quality is better. But of course it's not a proper sweet treat without there being chocolate involved so we tried the Oreo croffle as well. Super flaky and solid amount of Oreo chunks, loved that too.

We got one of those and a Durian Smoothie. I think we somehow missed the Greentea part of this drink cuz when we got it, hubby and I were both surprised at how green the drink was. It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!

There were quite a few empty tables and the place felt pretty relaxed. I was doing a bit of work and ended up staying a little longer than the 90-minute table limit. One of the staff members came up to us and said, "Hey, you guys have been here longer than 90 minutes. You'll have to leave soon." I told him that was fine and asked if I could just finish my coffee. He said okay, but then about a minute later he came back with a to-go cup and said, "Here you go, you guys can leave now." Honestly, that caught me off guard. Especially since it wasn't busy and there were still plenty of open tables. During my first visit, Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure everything was great, and I don't think he would have handled it that way. The coffee is still great and I really like the space, but this experience definitely made me think twice about coming back.

Tried several pastries and breakfast items and really appreciated the quality of everything. Our drinks - flat white and cappuccino were very good and coffee is smooth. We had the French toast, mortadella sandwich - subbed mortadella with avo, matcha pastry and a butter croissant. Many of the baked items were made with sourdough and grass fed butter- sourced from Dope bakery so we were super impressed with that. Customer service was great and I would definitely recommend.

Quiet coffee shop randomly located in the middle of a residental neighbourhood…read more Parking is plentiful in the area. The venue is quite small. Maybe 10 seats at most. There is also a E facing table and patio umbrella outside, but it wasn't set up during this rainy season. The room is quite stuffy (lack of ventilation), so they had the door propped open. This place is quite cramped. Staff are friendly. I think they're Korean. Coffee here is pretty decent. No complaints. Didn't try the food. Place might be worth coming by alone or maybe in a group of 2 at most. Otherwise I would highly recommend takeout.

It was kind of chilly inside because they had the door propped open despite it being cold out, but I can imagine it might have been stuffy for the staff in the kitchen area. The barista was very nice! I got the Sooyo croissant, an egg tart, and a milk tea. I loved the Sooyo croissant - I'm weak to the brie/fig combo and this had just the right balance of all the ingredients on a warm and soft croissant. The egg tart was also really nice with a hint of cinnamon. It was bite-sized which was good for a small treat. I also loved the milk tea. It was very strong, and the brown sugar syrup enhanced the flavour! It was worth the trip for me for a relaxing snack stop!

Wedge-shaped cafe serving baos, bubble-tea, smoothies and pastries…read more Seating is limited by the wedge-shapes floor-plan of this cafe. You step in the entrance, and it fans out towards the counter. You order on the right, and get served on the left. Seating is mainly along the walls, but as you can imagine, it is a bit awkward the way tables are arranged. Seating is not comfortable, probably to discourage people from loitering around too long. We ordered a croissant, smoothie, ice-cream and a bao. We must've hit a busy rush because it took 15+ minutes for us to get our entire order. The veggie smoothie came out first; it was a tad tart, but that is how I like it. I don't like extra sweetener, and it didn't seem like they added any. The bao came next, and it was okay. Perhaps not dim-sum restaurant quality, but decent for a cafe. I enjoyed that it was filled with a meat patty and egg. Kind of wished that it was served with Worcestershire sauce. A bit pricey. Surprisingly, the croissant took the longest to come out, but it appeared there was a backlog at the toaster station. Many other customers were waiting for toasted goods. The croissant was light and flaky. While I can't be certain it was made in-house, if it was store-bought, I would definitely be surprised. I can't comment on the ice-cream as it was not mine, but I noted that the portion seemed very small for the price we paid. Shrinkflation is real, people. I won't probably go here often, and there are definitely better places for smoothies, ice cream and baos. But, if you need all three at the same time, this is a convenient one-stop-shop.
