We selected two different items to share: a chocolate cake and the other was earl grey. I loved how they were not overly sweet. The earl grey one had grapefruit inside, which unfortunately my friend cannot eat so he was a little disappointed that I got to have more of this one. Lucky for me, I don't have that problem! The piece of grapefruit on top should have been a clue, but he didn't notice it when we were ordering. haha I did find the combination a bit unusual but I enjoyed it nonetheless as I love both grapefruit and earl grey tea! Service appears to be restricted to counter service, so you order at the counter and take your food and drinks to a table. It was really busy in the cafe but we managed to snag the last open table. Because it was so crowded, it was a little difficult to carry on a normal conversation. Not deafening, just quite lively. The coffee was good - but word of advice, make sure you let them know if you want to add milk or cream as they do fill your cup to the brim! I would probably return to try some of their other desserts because I find most places a bit too sweet for me. Definitely recommend this spot.

Well I took the fish shaped waffle off the soft serve and ate the sorbet with a spoon then took a bite out of my waffle fish! Apparently after watching everyone else around me, you're supposed to just bite the waffle while it sits atop the soft serve. Oh well I guess I'll have to come back and try it that way next time! The soft serve is very light and the flavours are delicate. The waffle is really yummy with a soft chew. It's a busy and popular spot filled with teens and twenty somethings. The lineup moves pretty quickly but seats are often taken. Tables don't get wiped down often as staff are busy making cones but you can always ask them to wipe it down for you. Great dessert place for something light and refreshing.

I was thinking of trying this place out as it's very close to the new building I just moved in to but when I went to the Take Five Cafe's website to see their menu what I found was absolutely horrid AI generated images for the items. Absolutely disgusted. Besides the ethics of using AI generated images for your business, they look just laughably terrible to boot and that's an understatement. Couldn't be bothered to take some pictures of your own products? Hire a photographer? Disgusting is the perfect word for this and I will absolutely not be giving my service to this business at any point while this remains on the website. read more

I love stopping here for a coffee and a quick bite. I love the feel of the café, its modern but cozy. Their coffee is pretty good, and so is their food. Last time I went there I had ordered a sandwich which they warmed up for me, and also served it with a cup of soup! Pleasant little surprise. You can even order alcohol, so if you need a little extra spike in your coffee, you know where to look. Staff is always wonderful when I come by, super friendly, and always in a good mood. Really makes you feel welcome. Definitely one of my favorite little places to stop at! read more

The space is quite small and the decor is not my taste, lots of mirrors and not easy for having too many people in there at one time. No place to really stand and wait for your order. It does feel like a homey style cafe though if that's more your vibe. They were limited in what they had left in their pastry display so I opted for a pork and beef sausage roll and a tea misto. They didn't ask if I wanted it warmed but put it in the oven anyway. I didn't mind too much as I was waiting for my misto but I do oddly like a colder sausage roll. The service was on the slower side and I ended up waiting longer for the warmed sausage roll. I didn't see any honey on the table with milk and sugar which would have been nice in my tea misto. The sausage roll was really good, great flakey pastry and nice tasty filling. The tea misto was fine, lacked the frothiness that I usually like in a misto. Overall my experience was just okay.
