I ordered an Iced Hojicha and Matcha Croissant, and my friend ordered a Tomato Basil Shio Pan, Coffee Bun and a drink. 3.5/5 Hojicha: drink was fine but didn't have a lasting impression on me 3/5 Matcha Croissant: matcha ganache was really tasty however the croissant itself was kinda flavourless and the outside ever so slightly overbaked for my palate. 4.5/5 Tomato Basil Shio Pan: unexpected hit for all of us. Very moist and flavourful. Will definitely get this one again. Friendly staff and quick service. I enjoyed Cafe Algan and will be back to try other goods.

Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

Opened in 2024, it perfectly embodies what a modern cafe should be, offering a unique blend of handcrafted coffee and pastries with French and Mexican flavors, all presented with an artistic vision. I enjoyed a pleasant 20-minute walk from home to the cafe for lunch on a beautiful day. Arriving around 11:45 AM, the place was bustling! I weaved through busy patio tables to reach the counter inside. The staff, despite the lunch hour rush, were wonderfully efficient and friendly. I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and their hearty Bowl de Provence--a delicious salad featuring farro, egg, and potato. I seemed to be in the mood for all things green that day! On my way out, I grabbed a croissant to-go, which made for a perfect snack during my walk home. While I can't speak to the parking situation firsthand, I did notice street parking available on Cambie, as well as potential free street parking in nearby residential areas (just be mindful of permit restrictions). I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their enticing food options and specialty coffees or teas!

It is the perfect place to drop by, pick up great food, or grab a meal before heading over the bridge after work. The food is excellent, which comes as no surprise--the chefs here are from some well-known Chinese restaurant chains. We stopped by for their weekday Afternoon Tea special (available Monday to Friday), and the service was truly attentive and friendly. Beyond the food, the ambiance is what really sets Joy Cafe apart. It has such a warm, comfortable vibe. It is clear that this is a place for long-term regulars. I witnessed a heartwarming interaction where a waitress was taking such genuine care of an elderly couple, kindly reminding them to drive slowly and safely on their way home. It's rare to find that kind of community spirit in a restaurant these days. Highly recommended!

We ordered 3 items: Chicken curry with spaghetti, braised pork and bitter melon with vermicelli as well as salted fish and chicken fried rice. For some reasons, all the hot drinks which accompanied the lunch set were luke warm. the chicken curry sauce was luke warm as well. The spaghetti which came with the curry was out of portion with the sauce. The amount of spaghetti was so little that we still had half the curry sauce when the spaghetti was gone. The other items were fairly greasy as well. The prices at Joy cafe has always heen a bit on the high end but quality had been stable in the past. However the quality seems to have gone downhill compared to the increased prices lately

Dark chocolate infused with cinnamon star anise, black pepper and orange zest. Service with Takoyaki Croissant. I had the pho spice hot chocolate last year, I remember the last year one flavor was more stronger. This year's one was subtle and I could not taste much savory flavor in. It was a just regular hot chocolate. If this was a regular hot chocolate, it tasted good, however, if it was pho spice one, not really impressive . Takoyaki croissant was very unique. I enjoyed that croissant with Vegetable, Mayo and sauce on the top. Actually, highlight was cafe royal tart. - A flaky puff pastry tart filled with silky milk-and-coffee cream, topped with a rich caramel flan for a smooth, aromatic café-style treat.
