She told me that the croissants are baked fresh every morning and that she has a cheese one every shift, so of course I went with that. It was the right choice -- flaky exterior, soft buttery interior, with a layer of cheese inside! Probably would have also tried one of their Butter Tarts which seem to be highly rated, but saw on their socials that they had sold out over the weekend. I was able to find a table to sit to wait for my order, which gave me the opportunity to actually take a look around and get a feel of the vibes. All other tables were occupied with locals, who were having conversations not only with their own group, but with others. Interior is definitely unique and retro, and it works! It looks like some of the artwork is for sale as well. When my order was ready, I confirmed that it was an Oat Latte, but it was mistakenly made with Almond Milk, but the barista immediately made a new one for me. They also have patio seating out front (and apparently in the back that I didn't know about). It was easy to find parking out front on the main street, but there is also a lot across the street. Would definitely visit again if in the area!

The place is nice, bright, and classy looking. There was a showcase with some tasty looking cakes and other treats on display. Everything looked deliciously tempting, too tempting to resist! We got the last seven Cream Rolls that they had, thanks to my new friend, Saumya. It was a long thin pastry roll, filled with cream, light and absolutely delicious! I will definitely have to come back to try more of their treats! Thanks again Saumya!

Came here a few days ago for some last night dessert with a friend …read more The look of the place is nicely decorated and bright. Very cute cafe in Pickering. Very clean and spacious with a modern menu (QR code to see the menu). We shared a waffle and I had a hibiscus lemonade. The waffle, not like regular waffles. It was more of a cake batter waffle. This was very good. We opted for the mango ice cream one and the waffle is covered with some white chocolate curls for crunch and a drizzled sauce. There was some cut up fruit. The waffle didn't feel heavy and it was very easy to share. Hibiscus lemonade was refreshing but a bit to sweet for my taste. I'm sure when I come back I can ask them to make it less sweet. There are tons of options for drinks, hot and cold. Quite the selections of teas, and if I was a bit hungrier would have probably gotten a milkshake (roughly $10) Prices are fair , waffles are about $20 and are big enough to share. The person taking our order was great with lots of options and was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was attentive and checked on us regularly. Would definately go back to try some of the other items on the menu that looked delicious as well as the desserts and cakes that are in the window at the front on display at the counter.

It's my first time trying this popular local icecream shop…read more I first tried to sample some flavor I tried the pandan and the Hong Kong milk tea. The pandan isn't as strong as I expected so I didn't order it. I ended up getting the black sesame soft serve and a scoop of milk tea, both in cups. Cone are 25c more. Order more than $10 can also get a stamp and you get macaron once u get to 10 stamps. I think both the black sesame and milk tea had intense flavor but they aren't creamy enough and too sweet to my liking. And perhaps too many people order the milk tea so there wasn't too much left by night time and so it also accumulated some icy pieces. Mine got some icy bits. I still may go back to try other flavors. They have few seats both inside and outside and there's a little train table for kids to play too. Nice little spot to hang out during the summer time.

Perhaps a bit of a mistake as we did not enjoy our food much. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat as my appetizer & the fish tacos. My husband had haddock & chips and my father in law had their shrimp linguini. The stuff mushrooms were huge & ok tasting but I was turned off by the brown water content that was seeping out onto my plate when cutting it in smaller pieces. My fish tacos was bland. The tortillas almost seemed stale & not soft. I'm surprised that there was no acidity in this dish with all the pico de gallo & looking at the corn, it was all shriveled up. My husband's haddock batter was as hard as a rock and my FIL's linguini was not al dente but was actually uncooked. The only good thing during our visit was our server. She was friendly & attentive so we had some good laughs. Sadly, we won't be coming here again which is too bad since we loved the feeling of the interior space and they have an awesome patio.

We ordered crab stuffed mushrooms, Thai chicken bites, Caesar and pork schnitzel. It was really good and I'm glad we decided to try something different today! We also got sangria and a beer which were also very good. Will definitely be back whenever we're in the area :)
