Beautifully decorated with a vintage vibe and lots of shabby-chic pieces. They seem extremely popular and busy even mid-afternoon; jammed-packed the whole time we were there and with a waiting line-up for a table. Gentleman who seemed to be the owner or manager was extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to find us a table quickly (even moving chairs around) after Cousin and I explained that Boyfriend (who was outside parking the car) would never wait for the 30 min announced at first. All the staff there seemed very nice, fast, constantly cleaning, arranging seating, serving, etc. We only had coffees (which were fine but nothing mind blowing) so I cannot judge on the menu. Would recommend this place though, if only for the super hardworking staff!

Came here for breakfast sweetness last weekend!…read more The inside of this cafe is beautifully decorated. A bit confusing if you're not a local because there is not a real service restaurant. You wait to be seated but you order first and they bring your selection to your table. Water is available but you serve yourself. They serve a variety of sweet and savoury crepes but also a variety of yummy desserts. It is a very busy place and I can see why! The crepes and variety of crepes are out of this world! I ordered the biscoff crepe....it was beyond yummy. It's the type of yumminess where you complete forget your with someone and focus solely on every morsel eaten. Definitely a must visit spot if you enjoy crepes both savoury and sweet! I will be back!

The cutest rustic elegant cafe in Orleans. Beyond Cafe has both a lovely atmosphere and their…read moredrinks are phenomenal too! I visited recently with my friend and we both ordered a specialty iced drink. I ordered the Iced Shake Toffee Nut with Cold Foam. This drink has a strong coffee flavour and you can truly taste the toffee nut. I like that it's super refreshing and it's perfect for the summer days. My friend ordered the Ice Biscoff Latte with Whipped Cream. If you are a biscoff fan, this is a must-order. They use biscoff to blend into the latte and they even place a full biscoff cookie on top of the whipped cream. It balances the sweetness of the drink and the coffee flavour at the same time. We also ordered the Smoked Salmon Toast which has a garlicky cream cheese, cucumber, smoked salmon, fresh dill, avocado, capers, radish and a slice of lime. This is a hefty gourmet toast and I love how fresh all the ingredients are. Make sure to squeeze the slice of lime before having it, and it really adds some sourness to the whole dish. I am a huge fan of capers, so this added some tanginess! All the employees are really kind-hearted and will come around often to check in on their customers. They gave good suggestions on both food and drinks. I really like the whole atmosphere of this restaurant. A must-visit if you haven't already!

Before my friend and I were about to part ways after a fun day hanging out, she let me know that…read morethere was a BOGO deal on Uber Eats for sparkling tea at Tealive. It was so sweet that she remembered that I am a sparkling drink fan. I walked over to my car and opened my Uber Eats app on my phone. Yep, I saw the BOGO deal and immediately added it. I also needed to fetch dinner. It was great that Tealive had egg sandwiches called toasteas. Such a cute name! I got a hash brown and egg toastea. My order was perfect, as I was more thirsty than hungry. One-stop shopping is also extremely convenient! My friend said to head east along Richmond Road that becomes Somerset Street West and keep on driving till I saw this place in Chinatown. It was the easiest set of directions for this tourist. Tealive is by the arch in Chinatown. I turned left into a parking lot. It generally is one that you have to pay. However, I had arrived after the pay-up parking period, so I parked for free and walked over. This store has a single step to get in and out of the store. It may be an accessibility issue to some folks. It's a deep store. There were plenty of places to sit down and enjoy dining in. I went to the back third of the store. There's a counter on the left for pickup orders. I had a nice man helping me. I showed him my Uber Eats order. He fetched my paper bag with my order. I thanked him and happily headed to my car. I safely secured my order in my car and then drove back to my hotel room to enjoy my food and drinks. Toronto has similar places that sell egg sandwiches. What they lack is offering bubble tea. This place has everything that I love, especially with sparkling tea. The hash brown and egg toastea was incredible! The egg was in omelette form. It wasn't overdone. It was fluffy and enjoyable. You also get a rectangular hash brown. I loved how crispy it was on the outside. It was seasoned nicely and was perfect. Perhaps to make you feel like you're eating something healthy, it had a tomato slice and romaine lettuce. They were fresh and complimented the hash brown and egg perfectly. The bread was toasted. You saw horizontal marks on the bread, which made me think that they use a sandwich press of some sort. The bread provided the perfect crunch, while still being soft. It held the entire sandwich together without wearing what you were eating. The toasted bread sets this toastea egg sandwich apart from similar egg sandwiches in the GTA. Here, you get a lot of bread that isn't toasted to the same extent. It's also so dry that you end up consuming a bunch of fluid to wash it down. My sandwich came with a couple of sauces. You can certainly enjoy the sandwich without them. One was cheese. The other one was a cross between mayo and tartar. They were perfect with the sandwich. The toastea tastes better with them. I was so thirst after having consumed a ton of sodium at lunch that I actually had both 3Q sparkling mango green teas that evening. It was a first for me. I normally have one immediately and the other the following day. Both drinks had no sugar and half ice. I didn't have the option to go less ice, but it didn't matter all that much. It was such a hot day that half ice sounded inviting! The drinks were divine. I loved the carbonation in them. Bubbles rule! They feel fancy when you drink them. Sparkling drinks are more enjoyable if the option is there. The 3Q toppings were pearls, coconut jelly, and sago. They were the perfect trifecta in these drinks. You got chewiness, a bit of sweetness, and different textures to devour while sipping on the perfect combination of mango flavour with perfectly brewed green tea. I loved this place so much that on my final full day in Ottawa, I ordered takeout from Tealive again for dinner. My order was the same, except that I tossed in Japanese strawberry shortcake. It did feel like a carbon copy of my visit. Even my order the second time felt like my first visit. The same sandwich and sparking bubble teas were yummy and consistent. I was impressed. The Japanese strawberry shortcake was delicious. It was the perfect portion, with layers of cake, whipped cream, and strawberry puree. I am normally not a huge fan of whipped cream, but I enjoyed how subtle it was. The strawberry flavour was spot on. I loved that it tasted like real strawberries. The strawberry slice on top was a nice touch. The cake was moist and fluffy. This dessert hit the spot. My sweet tooth was happy. This place was awesome! I long to return to try more toasteas, drinks, and desserts. This place had macarons. I'll need to get some next time. Toronto and its surrounding area need at least one Tealive. Please come here! I am thrilled that I can return here for excellent food and bubble teas. I just need to do another vacation. (304)

They have a stack of board games in the store, along with an arcade and a PS5 (although you have to pay extra to play on the PS5, everything else is free to use). The staff were nice, and the food didn't take too long to arrive. Personally, I found the Rocky Road waffle to be delicious, and it tasted like s'mores to me which just made it even more delicious. The milkshakes were good, and so was the lotus crepe, but nothing special. There's a reserved parking for Choc-o-La customers only, which made it easier to find a spot to park. For reference, the Rocky road waffle was $17, the Lotus crepe was $16, the green tea was $3, and the Oreo milkshake was $10 (not including tax).
