Went here on a Thursday evening after dinner. It wasn't super packed, but there were a lot of…read morecustomers ordering to-go. Bingsu - We got the mango one, and it came out super fast. We probably waited less than five minutes, which was awesome considering that they had a lot of other orders ringing up. It had chunks of mango, mango puree, cheesecake, and whipped cream. It was pretty enjoyable, but I think it would've been even better if I added in some mochi. The menu says it's layered with condensed milk, but the mango puree overpowered it a bit. It would be a nice touch if they could drizzle some condensed milk at the top, so that sweetness hits off the bat (at least in my opinion). Customer service was great, they were fast, respectful, and knew how to keep the line moving.

I'm a huge matcha lover, so when I found this spot I had to give it a try. I ordered a matcha with…read moreoat milk and 2 sweeteners. The matcha was very creamy and tasted high quality, which can be very difficult to find. The staff was very patient when me and my friend were taking quite a while to decide what we wanted to order, so I appreciate their cooperation. The store is very tiny, but it feels really cozy, perfect for meeting up with a friend or even hosting a study session. I'd definitely go back to try their different matcha flavours and pastries!

Beautiful coffee shop, terrible matcha drinks…read more Came on an afternoon to do some work and knew that this spot would have a beautiful interior. During the summer they also have patio seating just outside. Staff was friendly, the space was nice with high ceilings, and lots of people getting their caffeine here. I opted for their matcha latte which was not great, lacked matcha taste and was a pale green colour. I'm not complaining though since this is a coffee shop and I should've gotten coffee instead. Thought their other aspects of the coffee shop made up for everything else, like their free wifi, beautiful space, and good staff.

When I ordered, someone mistakenly took my drink and confused it with their order. However, the staff was super kind about it and remade my drink, with a smile on their face! As for the interior, it was very aesthetic. Definitely had to snag a picture of their set up of coffee bags! The only struggle was parking, since there's no dedicated parking spots aside from the SMART VMC (Subway station) parking, which is a bit of a pricey ticket if you're looking just to get coffee or food nearby.

Despite it being end of day, it wasn't stale or hard to eat. Thw outside was still flaky and crispy, while the inside layers were still moist and soft. The cream inside was a burst of flavor. I had cut the croissants in half based on the outer chocolate dip location and thought the tiramisu one was lacking filling, only to discover it all hiding in one of the halves lol

This is a joint Bake Code and Chatime.

I feel like they could either cook it to be more moist or store it better, and for sure don't add salt to something already salty. I visited yesterday evening at ~8:50PM after watching a movie as I was starving and tired and needed a little something for the commute home in north east Scarborough. Service was friendly and the staff was helpful with my questions. The store has booth - chair table seating so you could sit with just 2 people at a time at a table or join the tables for larger groups. Their bakery brand (Bake Code) features a variety of innovated desserts and baked breads. They have several different ongoing promotions, like if you buy 6+ buns, you pay no tax. If you buy 5 buns, you get one free. End of day sale for buns is 25% OFF. They have a VIP card for $20 that gives you 10% off buns on every visit for a year. The Taiwanese sausage bun was featured as the bun of the month. The promotions do not stack so you get the best available deal. In my case, it was the 25% off. 2 of the savoury croissants we had were just crispy dry. When I eat a croissant, I expect something moist and buttery. This was neither. I don't live in the area so I won't be back for the goods. Maybe the drinks.

Finding a café in the GTA that checks all the boxes for a good study spot is hard--but Scoops and…read moreBrew House truly delivered. It had everything I look for: not too noisy, moderate foot traffic, decent seating, great lighting (no glare headaches!), accessible outlets, and good music at the right volume. Food and drinks are tasty and affordable, and the windows add a nice touch for some sunlight/view of the outdoors. Service is friendly, and they let you sit for hours without feeling rushed. Even the washroom was clean, spacious, and well-stocked. Although it's not an area I usually visit because Highway 7 in Woodbridge can be hectic, the café was easy to find, and parking in the plaza was sufficient. The only minor inconvenience was needing to make a U-turn since there's no direct light into the plaza. We arrived around 7:15 AM and were the only ones there. There were a good number of customers that stayed and others that did grab n' go during our 5-hour study session. The space was spotless, including the accessibility-friendly washroom. Rob, the barista, was friendly, responsive, and helpful with drink recommendations. I ordered a large iced Lotus latte--good overall, though I personally would've loved a stronger Biscoff flavour. My friend enjoyed her matcha latte as well. They also offer sandwiches, pastries, and ice cream. Overall, a great café find and an excellent study spot. Would definitely return!

Service I experienced wasn't too wonderful I came in there were two people behind the counter and neither looked up at say hi or greet me. Then when I ordered the server's attitude felt like he was annoyed and kept asking me the same question when I was answering so I had to raise my voice cause it seems he was having a hard time understanding what give me a second meant. I ordered a regular size iced strawberry matcha. It was good it's my first time having a strawberry matcha. It was semi sweet, cold and refreshing. You can taste both the matcha and the strawberry it's a good balance. I would love to try their other drinks and maybe the gelato one day. Hopefully the barista is in a better mood. As other customers came in I began to see it's the norm to not greet customers

You can also get 5 and get one FREE! I love a good deal / promotion. This was my first time trying the Pandan dessert and the two savory options. Everything was so good. The sweet buns were the freshest buns I've ever had. They were stretchy, light, airy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Similar to a doughnut without any of the heaviness. There was a steady flow of customers and I chatted with a few. They all commented on fresh and delicious the food was here. There's a reason people keep coming back. I loved the atmosphere and warmth I felt in this family run business.

This Tim Hortons is located inside Woodbridge Mall at Martin Grove Road and Highway 7 West…read more For a dinky little mall this age and size, the Tims is impressive. It's in newish and good condition, has a decent array of seating, and every time I've been here, the staff are efficient and pleasant. Their selection of goodies looks pretty full, and my beverages have always been fresh. Unfortunately, on my current visit, my receipt did not have the usual survey you can complete in order to get a $1 any size French vanilla/ice coffee/hot chocolate drink. They have the usual complimentary wifi. I'll forgive them the heavily salted and not spic and span floors in the middle of the winter. They have their own entrance into the shop from the parking lot. If you're already in the mall, they're across from the Home hardware. I only find their condiments/napkins always lacking. Otherwise they make trips to Service Ontario way more bearable (although you can't consume food or drinks in there.) I always get something from here on one of those errands.

Tip: Collect My Crumbs rewards and redeem them for goods…read more It was a soggy, downpour of a Saturday. I was heading home, driving along highway 7. I remembered seeing this Crumbl store in Woodbridge, which is next door to Nations Fresh Foods. I decided to place an order and drop by. What was special about last week was that Crumbl had a lemon cake. I have had it before. It's excellent. I needed to get one. I parked closer to Nations and placed my order through the Crumbl app: - Lemon cake - 24-ounce (medium) EZ breezy I paid. I then took my umbrella and walked over to Crumbl. It was exceptionally busy at roughly 4;45 pm. Everyone was standing around. I frankly didn't know where I should be. There were a couple of self-serve kiosks where you could place your order. No one was there. There must have been at least fifteen teenagers who spoke French the entire time. They were lined up against the wall. This store has a washroom. It was my first time being in a Crumbl store with one open to the public. There was a young woman in front of me who kept on looking back at me and everyone else. It was weird and annoying. I saw my name on the screen. I was thrilled that my order was being made. I heard my name. My EZ breeze beverage was ready. The nice man handed it to me along with a straw. It was a bit difficult to poke my straw through the lid. Some of drink came up on the lid. I slurped it like the person who doesn't want a drop wasted because this drink was $7.55 before taxes. I will say that this drink was excellent. The EZ (I keep saying e-zed because I'm Canadian) breezy had Diet Coke, regular ice, sugar-free coconut, a lime wedge, and coconut cream. It had the perfect coconut-lime combination that I craved, along with Diet Coke. I was thrilled that it was a sugar-free drink that didn't suck. It took maybe an extra five minutes before my lemon cake was ready. The staring-behind woman stopped staring when I got my drink, followed by my cake. At Crumbl, staffers open the box to show you your dessert items. It was my first time seeing a staffer open up the box and accidentally squash some of the lemon cream cheese frosting on my lemon cake with his huge thumb. It was a bit sad seeing someone destroy a part of my cake before I got to. I don't think there's a policy to fix a cake that a staffer has messed up. I didn't think about it when it happened and simply took it. It would be yummy, whether the frosting was messed up or not. I put my lemon cake in a reusable bag to protect it from the rain and headed to my car. I then drove home, continuing to drink my EZ breezy. Delicious! I had the lemon cake later on in the evening. It was yummy just as I had remembered it. The cake was fluffy. The lemon tartness was perfect. The cream cheese frosting was lemony and heavenly. I was thrilled that I got to enjoy this cake again. I should try coming here after work and see whether it's busy. I had a good experience, despite having cake with a bonus thumbprint. (223)
