Red bean + mochi shaved ice with ice cream. Peach slush in the back

Priscilla C.

If you want sweets or desserts, this is the place to go! Sugar lab has a wide range of desserts, like shaved ice, mochi with cream, Hong Kong desserts, Mille crepes, bubble tea (slushes, milk teas and teas) and more! We ordered the Red bean + taro mochi and ice cream shaved ice. It took some time to be made but I think that's because there's only one worker putting desserts together in the back and one in the front taking orders. The shaved ice was delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness with sugar syrup and condensed milk!! Definitely an item to be shared among a few people. Price wise it was about $20.95 per shaved ice. Next we got their watermelon slush and peach slush. Both were very good as well. Super refreshing on a warm summer day and it was nice and sweet as well. I believe it was around $8 per drink. Seating wise, they have 3 larger tables that can accommodate 4-5 people and a few smaller tables that can fit 1-3 people. The inside is very clean and so was their bathroom as well. 10/10 would come again!

Decent dessert place with a good selection! Small shop that serves a variety of Asian desserts and Asian drinks. Before ordering, we had a bit of help in deciding what to order as we didn't want to order items that were too sweet. We ultimately opted for their signature fruit tea that is served in a pot, their mango pancakes, and their red bean taro Mochi ice with ice cream. I think overall, desserts were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I liked their mango pancakes because the ratio of fruit to cream was pretty good and the pancake covering outside wasn't really dense. The tea was alright too and had a sweet flavor from the fruit. The one thing I didn't really like was their red bean taro Mochi ice with ice cream. It is a really big portion but I just don't think it was that good. The ice cream was a big miss for me, I really just didn't like the flavor. The ingredients though are relatively plentiful so you don't have to worry about a scoop of ice without any ingredients.

Clockwise: Earl grey, green tea, strawberry, crème brûlée, taro, mango

My friend bought this to our gathering so we all tried it out. After all those lady M's rave from years ago, I have a low expectations for these crepes cakes. Much of a surprise, we all quite like the crepe cakes! Earl Grey: 4/5 The tea flavor was excellent. I could not help finding the little tea leaves on top of the crepe are bit unnecessary. It maybe worth considering a switch to something else for a better overall texture. Green tea: 5/5 Absolute standout. This is one of my favorite! The tea scent is very rich. Strawberry: 3/5 I'd say it tastes good but it didn't quite capture the spotlight compared to other flavors. Cream brûlée: 5/5 Perfectly made Trinity cream! It hit that sweet spot without being overly sugary. I would definitely be up for trying it again. Taro: 4/5 Love the taro scent. Whole enjoyable, it did not reach the surprising goodness of some of the other ones. Also, the taro makes the cake a bit too dense. Mango: not sure about this as we saved this to our other friend who came late. It looks like from the side that they have a few pieces of mango within the layers. IMO the cakes are tailored for a more Asian flavor, less sweet/sugary, which I love. This is not a place to go if you are craving for Western-style sugary dessert. The cakes are creamy and fluffy, changing my perspectives on crepe cakes being dense or pancake- like. Reading the menus, I found out how much they actually cost. At this price, I would consider getting the crème brûlée and the green tea flavor. Also, one thing to note: they gave a huge box for the six pieces of crepe cake, which I think is a bit of an overkill and not too environmentally friendly. I'm unsure if they ran out of the smaller boxes.

This is one of our favourite dessert places. We decided to have this inside. The service was pleasant and the space was clean!

Decent dessert among a sea of other dessert places by Royal Oak station. Parking is free on the street after 2000. Yay. As others have mentioned, this place is cash only below $30. Something to keep in mind. The building is new, so everything inside is still shiny. Seating is a wee bit limited. There are maybe 20 spots. Group size 2-3 recommended. Staff are friendly and helpful. My friends and I shared several desserts. They have durian and grass jelly and sago and all those other Asian style items. Decent quality, and good pricing. Most importantly, they weren't too sweet. Definitely a good option to check out if one is in the area. Recommended.

Sugar Lab offers a variety of dessert options to choose from. They are most known for their crepe cakes and always have them in the display window. That's not all they have though because they also have mochi, dessert soup, pudding, bubble tea drinks and shaved ice. While all their dessert options looked tasty, we were going to eat our desserts outside so we wanted something portable. We decided to go with their pudding cups because that seemed the easiest to eat out of everything on the menu. I wasn't sure what this was so I decided to try it out. So what I was expecting was a layered pudding because it was a "pudding cup." Unfortunately, it was layers of "serradura" powder and whip cream with hardly any pudding at the bottom. I was so disappointed because I was so excited to try this out.

Dropping a star as I think the current business practice of only allowing the use of card payment for $30 and above is ridiculous. Most people do not carry that much cash now. Prices have also increased but that seemed to be the general trend in most F&B places. Good luck as there are so many other desserts and cafes places in this area now and they accept card payment.

Stopped by this cute cafe located near Metrotown! Came closer to their closing time, so some of their crepe cake was sold out. However, I still got to try the Strawberry crepe cake, which was not too sweet and very soft and delicious! They have a HUGE selection of drinks (bubble tea, milk tea, brewed tea) and desserts!! There was 4~5 tables to sit inside as well. I also got the Jasmine green tea, which was served in a tea pot. I think they mixed in some honey, because it didn't taste purely jasmine! I thought it added the perfect amount of sweetness and went really well with the green tea and the cake. I am excited to come again and check out their other crepe cakes!

** Sugar Lab is Cash only!!** Good place to bring a date or to catch up with friends! They open at 2pm, has super cute decor in the inside and very comfortable vibes. There's no one rushing you to leave which is a bonus :) My friend and I ordered the mango crepe cake, milk tea with pearls and a passionfruit bubble tea. Crepe cakes: this had a good balance between fruit and whipped cream. It was tender and not too sweet. You can really see all the layers which I found the most impressive part. Milk tea: Not too sweet. Very smooth and silky texture. I found there was milk than tea. But the pearls were very chewy and bouncy (which I like!!) Passionfruit Bubble tea: This was good!!! I asked for half sugar and I found this to be the perfect combination. Slightly tart but still had bright flavours :) Sugar Lab offers other flavours of crepe cakes. They seem to always have tiramisu, mango and matcha on hand. However if you come on a weekday, just be aware that you won't be able to try their black sesame and taro crepe cakes as they're only available on the weekends. Overall, the cakes were very good and I'm definitely a fan! I do find this place to be a bit pricey. Would definitely recommend coming here once in a while!!

Amazing drinks and durian crepe would definitely come back!! Perfect treat after a long week!

I was quite disappointed at the restaurant because all the crepe cakes would be sold out. The crepe cakes were their main selling dishes at the restaurant. Some customers walked in and asked for crepe cakes but the server told them they did not have them anymore at night. The customers left the restaurant right away. My fiancé and I ordered a serradura pudding plant and durian pancakes because the restaurant was out of crepe cakes. We were disappointed at the two dishes. The serradura pudding plant was just some cream and some crumbs that built up the layers. I could do it myself at home. The durian pancakes had so much cream that the portion of durian was so little. Again I could buy some durian and cream and made the crepe myself. Then I could wrap the durian and cream altogether to be durian pancakes. I could go to somewhere else for crepe cakes but probably I won't come back here again unfortunately. Nothing else inspired us at this restaurant. They also sold some bubble tea drinks but I wouldn't have to go here for these beverages as there are so many good ones out there.

Cute dessert spot, very delicious crepe cakes. Quite a popular spot. Went in on a weekday 5 min after it opened and there were already other customers. The location is a little difficult to turn into from Kingsway but there is street parking right in front of the store. Overall a good experience.

Denise W.

So disappointed that I came and all the crepe cake were all sold out. I asked the server and they say usually they get a batch of people rushing in around 6 pm and usually that time its all gone. Oh well, will have to come back for that. I heard that this is one of the few places that offer crepe cake. A slice is $8.50 to $8.95 depending on the flavor. I was so close on getting my hands on one. The table before me got the last two slice. So we ended up getting the mango pancake and the chilled mango sago cream with pomelo. The mango pancake is pretty legit. It does have a pretty big slice of mango inside. I liked the chilled mango sago cream with pomelo more. Its very refreshing. The place itself is super small. Seems like there is always a long lineup. Depending on the time of day, be prepare to wait about 20 mins.

We ordered a cake set from Sugarlab for my wife's birthday. She specifically requested a Mille Cake and loves the Durian flavor. Once we contacted the store and ordered, they called and e-mailed the next day to check-in because one of the flavors was unavailable. The actual cake presentation was great and they personalized the name for us as well. I do not eat durian, but tried a bite for the heck of it and it wasn't awful. The Tiramisu cake on the other hand was excellent and more to my taste. read more

Very bright and simple white interior. I love the name Sugar lab...it's like foodie science. I came here to have the much hyped about dessert trend called Crepe cakes which are stacks of crepe with thin layers of cream or filling piled high and then served like a slice of cake. It was nice and fluffy, not too heavy, therefore, it satisfied the sweet tooth but didn't weigh me down like a brick. Customer service was friendly. They're still new so they are working out some kinks but it was very manageable. Lots of seating inside. Prices were very reasonable. read more

This cute little place is near Kal Tire and the Steve Nash Fitness world on Kingsway. There arent too many tables, maybe 5-6 and even on a Tuesday night, there was a bit of a wait for tables. They have a variety of desserts like shaved ice, dessert soups, crepe cakes and more. This was the first time I tried a crepe cake (8.95$) and it is quite interesting. It reminds me of eating a band-aid textured cake. It is quite good though. We also got a cold mango sago dessert soup with coconut milk, it was quite sweet so you will need to drink water afterwards to clear your taste buds. The workers are quite friendly here so that is always a plus. read more

After the last crêpe cakes hunt with L'OTUS Cake Boutique, I am very looking forward to Sugar Lab, a dessert place on Grimmer St in Burnaby. I did some research before I went, and I heard their cakes usually out around 8 pm. So we decided to call and reserve four slices before they were sold out, just like what we did in L'OTUS.

I would have never known of the existence of this place if it weren't for Instagram and my foodie friends. This place really reminds me of Choco Coo in terms of it's aesthetics. I don't eat mille crepe often so I can't say how good or bad their version is compared to other places, but I can say that I really enjoyed it personally. We ordered the matcha and tiramisu crepe cake, and I surprisingly liked the tiramisu one more. Both weren't too sweet, but the tiramisu one had a stronger flavour which I appreciated. I think they need to use a bit more matcha so that there's a stronger taste. Overall I really enjoyed my visit and I will definitely be back! read more

I came around 2pm on a Saturday (peak time) and got seated right away by the kind server. The crepe cake is so light and fluffy and has lots of mango in it . There is a strong whipped cream taste so if you don't like that, I suggest trying the matcha or chocolate ones. The serradura pudding plant was really good and filling as well. It looks very small once you receive it but it's very filling and tasty. The workers are extremely kind and helpful read more

Came here with my bf for desserts and to see if it was better than the one in Richmond which was called the L'Otus Cake Boutique. Place was full but we got the last seating near the front so we were lucky. My bf ordered a durian slush which was kinda watered down so he was disappointed :[ We shared a matcha crepe cake which was pretty good. I liked this crepe cake more than the one in Richmond because there was more crepe than cream which is how a mille crepe should be made. The only thing I didn't like about this crepe cake was that it lacked matcha flavor. It was very mild. Overall, we would definitely come back to eat their crepe cakes but I wouldn't order the matcha one again. read more

I was so sorely disappointed in the service we received today. We ordered drinks and a mango crepe cake - before accepting our order, our server checked the display to ensure that a slice of the cake was available. I was glad that we got in when we did, because there was only one slice of mango crepe cake was left. I watched her place our drinks and a slice of cake onto the tray that she would eventually bring over to our table. However, what she didn't realize is that I also watched her take the slice of cake from the tray and give it to another table, before coming over to me to say that she had just realized that they'd run out of mango cakes. There are so many issues with this: 1. There could not have been any mix-ups or sudden realizations, as she was the only server 2. How is it acceptable to take something from one table's order and give it to another table? 3. We were blatantly lied to read more

Whipped cream and sugar wrapped in a small, thin crepe. This was one dish. Layers of whipped cream alternating with sugar and fine granulated peanuts. This was the second dish. If I wanted to eat whipped cream with sugar, I could buy a can of it at Superstore and go at it at home. Why would I pay money to eat it in a nice cafe? I don't know.

Honestly, mango crepe cake is just ok,it's cheaper than lotus cake but it tastes like mixed up some chemical syrup..maybe the price shows quality lol. Durian that one is better. Otherwise, taro texture is good and mashed but i don't think it was made by fresh taro.. All of these items was too greasy(specially whip cream!)...Out of expectation and quite disappointed.

This place is super cute! It is very bright with the lights and white decor, but the touch of green plants makes this a very vibrant cafe. We tried the matcha crepe cake and the Chinese dumplings in soup. The crepe cake was good, not great. We found the crepe a little chewy and not enough flavour (though I do prefer strong flavours). The dumplings were disappointing. It was literally flour dumplings in sugar water (I guess it is quite literal to its name). We did find them a little soggy. I might come back if I'm in the area, but I don't think I'll come out of my way for this. Service is great though! read more

It was not overly sweet, presentation was beautifual, however, raspberry mousse was partially frozen, a bit watery, and flavor was very weak. Hojicha milk was just ok. Hojicha cream form was very creamy and good, but, flavor was very weak. Strawberry puree was fine, Strawberry puree and cream form dominate this drink. I wish hojicha flavor could be more stronger. Matcha strawberry milk was ok, too. matcha flavor was not too strong, strawberry drink part was good. Cream form was very creamy and good. All items prices were on higher side. Next time, I might try at Richmond locataion.

Even the durian crepe, which surprised us in the best way. It was creamy, well-balanced, and not overpowering. Overall, the cakes stood out, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted. If you're looking for a café with great ambiance and consistently good desserts, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend their cake selections.

I've long heard about Korean salt bread and had been wanting to try. Maison mori offered a couple of salt bread selections. I didn't know which to get so I asked for recommendations. The staff wasn't helpful at all. "They're all good." She also said the bread is Korean style bread that is popular in Korea. Then I asked why use the Japanese word for salt, i.e. "shio". She then responded that the bread is Japanese style. Like, which is it? Korean or Japanese? After consulting Gemini AI, the two styles are fundamentally the same but the texture is different. Regardless of Japanese or Korean style, I got the original and black (squid ink). I honestly don't see what the hype is. It's essentially just butter roll with salt sprinkled on top. Lol.

My favorite is Soboro chestnut cube, sweet potato cube, Shio pan, mugwort mochi bun, mochi mochi bread and roll cakes. Cube breads are excellent items. Dough is very soft and fillings are great, especially Soboro chestnut cube's small chestnut pieces and crunchy soboro topping makes it addictive. Shio pan is very buttery , one of the best in town. I also liked Mochi mochi bread which had very chewy texture like mochi, but this time, I felt the one I had in the past tasted better. However, Rich bread was very good. The dough is similar to brioche with very rich, buttery flavor. This one is definitely better than before. Overall, I really liked their products. Highly recommend if you have a chance to visit North road

The shortbread cookie were also great.. finished them pretty quickly! I was really impressed. I am definitely planning on getting the next birthday cake from here cause they all look amazing.

The price was very fair considering the quality and flavour. This time around, I ordered a mung bean and pandan cake for my dad's birthday. It is quite difficult to get my Asian parents' approval on sweets, as generally everything is too sweet and heavy for their liking. However, this cake really hit the spot! It was not too sweet, and the combination of pandan and mung bean was fragrant and flavourful. My parents had high praise for the cake, and so, needless to say, I will be back for every birthday of theirs. Their online platform is easy to navigate and order from. Pick-up is easy at their storefront on Kingsway, where you can also pick up cake jars and other little treats inside.

I couldn't buy a whole mango cake since I'm visiting Vancouver, but I tried a couple jar cakes (Mango Lychee Mousse and durian), pandan mung bean cake roll, and HK milk tea and espresso cookies. I also got a jar of mango passion fruit jam for souvenir. Everything I tried was delicious, especially the HK milk tea cookies (perfect as a souvenir too). I was told the cookies can last for 6 months unopened. The store is very small and take-out only. They didn't have any ice pack, but the cashier was nice to find me a box to fit the 6+ jars I purchased.

Cube Pistachio Croissant, excellent flavours, and I love how the cream filling was able to endure some reheating in the toaster oven the next day. I believe it's stabilised with gelatine perhaps... Almond croissant, not sweet, great buttery flavour Ham and Cheese Croissant, this was lovely, loved the topping and the smell of the baked cheese on top, however... I would love to suggest maybe a mix of an edam/gouda mix with a saltier parma... rather mild in flavour in the interior. extra points no soggy interior. If I lived only closer, this bakery is on the weekly rotation.

The cakes are still not that great to me. The latest cake I tried was the Dubai chocolate cake. If I eat it as just a chocolate cake, then it's good. As Dubai chocolate, it falls way short. It is lacking the kataifi (or knafeh) bits and I can barely taste the pistachio cream or tahini. The chocolate is probably overpowering the other flavors. Very pretty in presentation though. The blackforest cake is also lacking in the kirsch taste. I can barely taste it. Maybe I had a such a great tasting blackforest cake before that many places do not match up to it. Bottom line: just get the shortbread cookie. Get the cakes only if you're really craving it and this is the only place nearby for it.
