He was very interested in their "Monkey Bread" which is highly reputed, but by the time he went in, it was sold out.... but he got # Butter Croissant # Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant) # Vanilla custard croissant All are very good, as their croissant base was very good. If things are wrapped or topped on this base, everything will be good. Just that it is monotone when I wanted to try variation and creative twists. But I should not ask this as encountering quality croissant itself means i am lucky enough! A well-made croissant is the touchstone for bakery quality. I want to try their well reputed Monkey Bread. It should be good! :)

The ambiance was bright and clean with Christmas decor still up ^^ Most of the items are gone by this hour, especially the sandwiches! I heard the Tuna salad sandwich is served in a croissant wheel *o* I would love to try that one next time! We shared a Nutella croissant and a matcha yuzu tart. The tart was really delicious, I'd highly recommend. My friend really enjoyed the croissant; it was super crispy and filled with Nutella.

Library coffee is a meticulous coffee lab that is dedicated to roasting beans with precision and…read morebalance. That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

The Library Specialty Coffee seems to be highly regarded by Redditors in the area, and I was open…read moreto trying it again after a subpar experience at their downtown location a couple of years ago. My cousin and I arrived shortly after opening on New Year's Eve. The cafe has a small interior with minimal seating, mostly bench seating along the wall with small round coffee tables. Even though there was only one barista working that morning, she was efficient at taking orders and making drinks despite several orders happening at once. We did not feel like we were waiting very long. I ordered a pour-over with the Finca El Paraiso Peach Colombian beans, which use a thermal shock washed process. That was something I had not heard of before. The tasting notes listed nectarine, tropical fruit, and caramel, and it was recommended since I was looking for something more out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the wilder flavor profile, but it was hard to fully appreciate because the coffee tasted overly diluted. The barista mentioned she used a 15g to 250g bean-to-water ratio, which is higher than how I normally enjoy my pour-overs. My cousin ordered a flat white with whole milk that was very creamy with strong espresso notes. We also ordered a matcha latte for my other cousin, which was apparently too creamy. Overall, the beans themselves were good, but the pour-over leaned watery for my personal preference. The bag of beans used for the pour-over was priced at $32, which is only a bit more than double the cost of the pour-over itself. In hindsight, I felt slightly ripped off and should have just bought the beans instead.

We arrived at the small plaza with a small parking lot today (Saturday) around 10:15 a.m. & luckily enough, it was a quiet start to the day as parking was plentiful though I can imagine it being a bit hectic during busy times. This location (there are 2 others) is in the plaza right next to the Richmond Hill location for AI Sushi. As soon as we entered, we were promptly greeted & seated at a nice corner table. Shortly after that, a nice gentleman came to placed a QR code at our table asking if we've been here before. After we said no, he explained to us how to order using the QR code. We can all scan and order individually then it shows up as one large order for the table. I think he said he can split the bill if needed & we would just need to let him know. The place itself was nice. A bit above casual with around 20 tables inside. Well light and seemed clean. I ordered the Thai red curry pasta with clams, hubby and our friend both ordered the chicken and waffles, and my cousin ordered the mushroom benedict. We all ordered a drink (hubby a flat white with the rest ordering some type of latte). Our food came pretty quickly. My pasta was delicious and had good heat (spicy kick) to it & the red curry sauce was full of deep rich flavors. I enjoyed the clams but they were a bit small so it's taste got overpowered by the sauce. I would have preferred it if they gave me fewer but larger clams. I had a taste of my hubby's fried chicken & it was really good. The batter was well seasoned & crispy but not oily and the chicken thigh was moist. The staff know what they are doing there. We were asked whether we are enjoying our food & they always made sure our water glasses were full. I highly recommend this place & am looking forward to my next visit there!

The bathrooms are neutral gendered. Service - 4/5: they sat us pretty quickly as it was quiet when we went. We ordered via the QR code. They checked in on us a few times Food - 4/5: the food was good. At first, I thought it wouldn't be filling because it looked small but it was actully filling. We ordered: - burger steak omurice: the egg was runny like it is supposed to when you crack into it. The burger was medium to medium well but moist and seasoned lightly - curry udon: the curry was flavourful, just a tad salty for me. It carried throughout the whole dish - tako wasabi: the wasabi really packed a punch. I think this is the spiciest I've ever had (not in a bad way, just didn't expect it) - sea salted edamame: lightly salted, the edamame was slightly undercooked in my opinion - Mango Kori: similar to a mango slushy. It was good Overall: 4/5 - a great little place for a quick bite. I would come back

There are lots of seating inside, and I think it's a great place to get work done. The wifi is free and was very stable. They also have a small patio to sit outside on. Free parking behind the coffee shop as well. The only downside was the lack of outlets in the shop to charge your laptop. I sat beside one outlet but it didn't take my plug and kept coming out. It was also warmer than usual, so I wish the AC was turned higher because it was very hot inside the coffee shop. I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk. It was OK. It seemed more like a milk drink than a matcha drink based on the ratio. I would definitely come back and try out their desserts though. They look very good.

All I know is that I walked in and saw them baking fresh flatbread and knew I had to get some. I got two kinds of bread, as well as something I was told I could dip the bread in. I got a very large, round, very thin flatbread covered in sesame seeds for $1.50. I also got a very long, quasi-rectangular-but-almost-triangular flatbread covered in sesame seeds that wasn't quite as thin for $3.50. That one I actually watched them pull out of the oven. I asked if they sold anything I could dip the bread into. They pointed me to what looked like a baba ganoush colored dip topped with what could have been very darkly fried onions or some kind of spice mixture in olive oil. I asked what it was. They said it was mashed meat, but the hand gestures were more shredded than mashed. I got it anyways. That one cost me $6.50. I was told to heat it before eating it. Okay! Went to Grandma's. Heated the dip. The oil and spice combo turned out to be cinnamon, if I'm not mistaken. The bottom tasted like nothing. Honestly. Nothing. It also had the consistency of glue, or what my brain imagines poi would be like. It's not like any meat I've ever had. Perhaps there was some sort of language gap there. If anyone can tell me what I ate and whether this is the way it was supposed to taste, I'd really like to know. If what I'm describing is a fantastic example of whatever it's supposed to be, I'll change my review. However, right now, I'm just super confused. We ended up dipping our bread in garlic and herb cream cheese dip covered in spicy pineapple jam. I'd still come back for the bread.
