We tried the combo pack with Durian, Purple Yam, Chestnut, and Mango, and every bite was delightful. The mochi wrapping is impressively thin, with a pillowy texture that makes each piece melt in your mouth. While I usually gravitate toward durian, the Chestnut and Purple Yam stole the show. You can really taste the effort and pride in the chestnut puree--it's smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The staff are warm, friendly, and clearly proud of their craft, which adds to the charm of the experience. This is absolutely one of those places worth lining up for. If you're in the mood for artisanal mochi that's made with care, Car's Dessert should be at the top of your list.

Very tasty mango sago and mango mochi. The sago is really creamy, to the point that it has the…read moremouthfeel of liquid ice cream, with extra bits in it. The mango mochi also leans heavily on the cream and is definitely not a health food. If you like durian, the durian mochi is also great. Personally, I really liked the yam mochi and thought the chestnut mochi was pretty good, but most people seem to find those only ok. This place sells out on busy days, so come early if you want any of their popular items.

We had such a blast here!…read more We skipped dessert at the restaurant we had dinner at to come here. My wife got the salted Carmel frozen thing on the menu and I got the Oreo toast. Flavor was delicious and so was the presentation. The place is very nice with live edge wood tables and a very notably nice bathroom. We had the place to ourself but I think this would be a fun spot for a group of friends to come as well. The family that runs it is very kind and they took great care of us. Finished off the night with some amazing rooibos tea - highly recommend this place if you are out in Steveston town!!

Something Sweet is a cute little dessert café tucked into Steveston Village, and it is exactly what the name promises. We went straight for the Frappés and let's just say, everyone left very happy. If you're not sure where to start, my top two recommends are the Mango Frappé and the Caramel Flan Frappé. Trust me on this one.

The dining space is small but the decoration inside makes you feel like you transported to a different country. Marshmallow Thick Toast 4/5 The toast was about an inch thick, well toasted outside with a pillowy soft center. There's some melted chocolate on the bottom that added to the smores vibe. The marshmallows on top weren't very thick, so it melted to an even layer with perfect browning. The toast was cut into 9 pieces so it can be shared but given the portion I think 1-2 people would be fitting for this dessert. We weren't too hungry, so we shared amongst 4. Jasmine Tea Jelly 4/5 I really liked how fragrant the jelly was and that the jelly was a softer jelly that reminds you of Aiyu jelly. The after taste was a bit bitter but I feel like that tells me it was brewed and made and not just bought to serve. It's served with a splash of half and half I believe. To-Go I wanted to try and compare all the tea flavored jellies they had, Jasmine, Oolong and Earl Grey Tea Jelly. Packaged with small packets of the half and half to add later. The best was OOLONG 5/5- it had a slight roasted tea flavor that was refreshing and comforting at the same time. What you would want from a milk tea. Second best was Jasmine - fragrant and less bitter than the one I had in restaurant, typical jasmine flavor that's lightly floral and not too heavy Earl Grey 3/5 - it was good if you like earl grey like me, but it has an intensely strong fragrance and flavor that might be off-putting if you're not used to the taste. It was by far the strongest floral taste and smell of the three. I'd definitely be back to get these to go, they carry well and you can cross borders with them :)

We stopped by at lunchtime at first, but they weren't open yet. Since we really wanted to try it, we called again in the evening to confirm their hours before heading back--and we're so glad we did. The service was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly patient and took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food did not disappoint. All the Taiwanese snacks we tried were delicious and full of authentic flavors. Our absolute favorite was the shaved ice--it was refreshing, perfectly textured, and just amazing! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for genuine Taiwanese food and warm, attentive service. Definitely a 5-star experience!

It was fun to eat on the tatami mats in the back - we got the whole space to ourselves since we came on a weekday. Note that the sets come in 2 and whatever tea you choose is for both people. The set was unique and very filling - it came with a mini unagi rice bowl, matcha yogurt with berries, sweet corn custard, 2xnigiri, and hojicha cake, etc. Their menu changes every few months though so best to check their Instagram to see what's new. Warning: Parking on the lot is 1.5hrs only for the whole day and they are strict and will ticket you - this includes if you are running errands earlier in the day in the same lot and had left and returned. Safer to park in the farther lot for 3hrs of free parking.

Came here on a rainy day and it was the perfect place to enjoy a quiet, cozy afternoon. Tsujiri has…read moresuch a calming atmosphere. The matcha drinks and desserts were beautifully presented and tasted rich and authentic, with that deep, fragrant matcha flavor that's never too sweet. We have today: Hojicha shaved ice, replaced with matcha ice cream. This location in Richmond had ran out of Hojicha ice cream for a long time. We asked every time when they will have hojicha ice cream back and staff doesn't know either. Hojicha Chestnut Shortcake, Cake is soft and fluffy, and very too sweet. It is always my favorite. This time i gave a 4 stars is because they discontinue serving Onigiri ( rice ball) and savory item. That's too bad! I love their Onigiri and ramen! Staff said the one inside the open road Toyota still has savory item. Maybe next time I will try that location

We were in need of something sweet after our shopping trips. We found Babatang on Yelp (Of course~…read moreDuh~ ). All the reviews were positive, but they were written by only three Yelpers. We took a leap of faith in those Yelpers and headed our way to Babatang. Appeared tiny from the outside and was difficult to locate at first glance. Inside had an outdated decor but was way spacious than our assumption. An older gentleman who appeared to be the shop owner made all the drinks and desserts, while a lady who might be his wife was sitting on a big sofa behind the counter, watching him. We found it cute and funny. It took about 5 minutes or more to make each item. But nothing mentioned above mattered when every single food and drink made us sing nom nom nom~ Coconut drinks had a rich coconut taste, and wheelcakes were perfect to hold in hands and then in tummy on a cold, crisp winter day. We even ordered extra wheelcakes to go because its creamy golden custard, egged in steamy hot sponge cake, was so addictive. Don't let Babatang's looks fool you. It can surprise you with amazing flavour-bomb foods if you walk into the cafe with an open mind and appetite for discovery!

One of the highlights is their soy pudding, which comes in small, medium, or a huge gallon-sized bucket. We went all in and bought the big bucket for $18 CAD -- totally worth it. The restaurant itself is small with just a few tables, but the food speaks for itself. Along with tofu and soy pudding, they also sell a great selection of dim sum-style snacks and several varieties of soy milk, including regular, black bean, and ginger. Everything feels homemade and thoughtfully prepared. Parking is conveniently available right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to stop by. If you love fresh tofu, comforting soy pudding, or unique snacks, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Great alternative to ice cream (too much dairy) or bubble tea as this is more than a drink. The ambiance is simple, and clean. The service is fast since it is all ready to go.

Red bean matcha mochi- omg... so good. Love the additional mochi texture. Matcha was perfect, rich matcha but not too bitter or sweet. The combination was perfectly done. Triple coconut milk latte- the perfect morning 'coffee' dessert. Sooooo good. Love the coffee flavor with coconut milk. The layering provides a nice explosion of flavors in your mouth.

He got a Blueberry Slushy drink and the wheel cake had red bean inside. Drinks are always solid at Peanuts and on the more affordable side too given what many other places will charge for bubble tea drinks these days. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of his wheel cake but that's no fault of the shop. Red bean is something I'm generally not crazy about to begin with. I have learned over the years that I can appreciate red bean as a bubble tea drink if it's all blended up. However, it's the chunks of bean that I don't like, and this wheel cake had chunks of bean in it. Might have gone over better with me if it had been filled with a smooth, red bean paste...no chunks of bean in it. That's just personal preference though. If you're someone who enjoys red bean paste and don't mind chunks, then you might enjoy this Taiwanese wheel cake.

And also the more modern cold desserts such as mango, ube sago and even grass jellies. We opt to order their ube trio and it was heavenly. It had an authentic and strong ube taste. The sagos were cooked just right with the perfect texture and most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered their instagram worthy mahjong tiles which is essentially red bean and coconut pudding. It's very cute and definitely instagram worthy. It's not too sweet and I liked that it came with a side of red bean sauce which made it less dry. The money is also made of edible paper but we didn't touch it cuz it felt weird eating it. However, it wasn't anything special and we wouldn't order it again. It was quite busy when we arrived on a Friday night but it's much easier to go in a smaller party. We were a party of 2 and walked right in even though others were waiting because they needed a bigger table. The place is clean and service was fast. They don't have a time limit even though they are busy so it's a great hang out spot. We would definitely be back to try out other items they have to offer.

And right now (not sure until when) they have a giant sandpit installed in the middle of their store. If you spend $25, you get to play with their toy excavator.
