    We went here for their Matcha workshop. Julia was informative and attentive. She was extremely patient with our group and offered assistance if we needed it. I really enjoyed my time here. My favorite part of the experience would have to be their brulee banana on ice cream with matcha. It was super addictive.

    It was my first time doing a matcha workshop and I enjoyed my experience here at 123Dough Organic Cafe in downtown. The experience consisted of a guided tutorial on how to whisk & make your own authentic matcha. We got the black matcha powder to try out and a full set of tools to make your matcha. A scoop of icecream came at the end so we could make an affacado drink :)) Beyond the workshop itself, the cafe overall is really spacious with plenty of seats & tables. Nice atmosphere for tea talk and studying maybe. I would definitely come here again whenever I'm in Yaletown as I do love to support independent businesses over large franchises

    I came here for a matcha workshop and it was such a fun experience! I don't know many places in Vancouver that do this, but what really stood out was being able to try black matcha. It has a completely different flavor profile from green matcha and Julia, who was hosting the workshop did a great job at explaining everything. We were able to try a green matcha latte, green matcha affogato, and iced black matcha. The interior of the cafe is well designed and looks super cozy and cute! The entire team at 123Dough is also some of the sweetest people I know.

    Thank you, Ethan, for reading my review and inviting me back. And thank you, Daniel, for such a thoughtful explanation of the matcha's origins and the café's vision; it's clear that you genuinely care about the quality of what you serve. I tried both the green matcha and black matcha today. Both teas were rich and full with bold flavours. The green matcha had a stronger bitterness than the ones I usually drink, thanks to its unique preparation process. The black matcha offered a contrasting profile--herbal, earthy, and even a little chocolatey. I also tried the maple waffle. The texture was on the denser side and it was covered with the most amazing (and not too sweet) maple glaze. The cafe also offers monthly workshops and events!

    Spacious cafe. I tried the frosted black matcha and thought it was a tad on the sweeter side but overall enjoyable. Staff was friendly.

    i'll admit, i was impressed when the owner personally replied and offered to make things right, mentioning they'd made some updates to their drinks. they absolutely didn't have to; most places might offer a polite apology, if anything. but instead, they reached out with genuine care, and it made me feel like my feedback mattered. i won't lie, i debated whether to take them up on their offer, it felt a little awkward to bring it up in person, but i'm glad i did. they explained that they used to make their own oat milk from scratch and that everything here is done organically. they explained that were probably out of oat milk when i was there three months ago and re made it again. they're currently sourcing premium oat milk. in addition, i was also offered a sourdough cookie, a thoughtful gesture that showed just how far they were willing to go to stand behind their products and make me feel welcomed back. that kind of professionalism and service is rare, and it genuinely sets them apart from so many other cafés that never go beyond lip service. this time, the matcha was properly whisked, no gritty residue at the bottom or sides and the drink had a much smoother finish. that said, the matcha itself was still a bit weak in flavour. the orange confit earl grey cookie was a little too sweet and dense for my taste, but the effort and care that went into it were clear. the space remains beautiful, calm, and polished, but what really stood out this time was the commitment to customer service. when a business not only listens but responds with sincerity, it elevates the entire experience.

    This placed opened 14 June. Spring opening for organic food in no other than hippy Yaletown. There's specials for opening week. 50% off açai bowls or smoothies. The owner mentioned that there is another store in NY and they're co-owned by another restaurant that does afternoon tea - Wild Orchard/ 8 Corners Tearoom. As you walk in, the place is airy with lots of space. Açai bowls are delicious and hearty.

    We came here for the tea omakase. It was quite a unique and fun experience! We tasted 4 different types of teas and the accompanying snacks and pastries. I loved the variety of the tea flavours. Each tasted so fresh and delicate. Each little snack also tasted very fresh and made with good quality ingredients. Overall, I feel this cafe serves high quality tea and food. All made fresh, not stale like big chain coffee shops. The cafe's ambiance is modern and chill. Prices are quite reasonable for Yaletown. The staff are friendly and low key.

Also, go early so that you have more bun options - they do sell out of certain flavors the later it gets. Luckily we were still able to get the two that we wanted which were black sesame and a custard buns. They were not only super cute, but they were really delicious as well. The fillings were very strong in flavor and did not disappoint. There was enough searing when I went. Next time I will have to try their coconut drinks and desserts!

So technically this was dessert #3 over the course of not even an hour. The good thing is that this was not an overwhelmingly sweet or heavy dessert. It really went down with the same ease as just a regular mango would have, but it just had some extra (mostly natural) stuff. I'd happily enjoy this deliciousness on a regular basis if I lived in Vancouver. There were a ton of menu items that looked appealing, so I'm might even be their best customer.

As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form. If you love simple yet high quality ingredients, this place is the perfect place to get your sweet cravings fixed!

I could see some people balking at the $6 price, but I consider these a special treat. The location itself leaves something to be desired since it feels like it is under construction except for the pastry counter. No furniture and the floors look unfinished. Definitely not a place to hang out. Brendan's Rating: 3.0 Charlotte's Rating: 3.0 Shanying's Rating: 3.0 Winston's Rating: 4.0

    After grabbing dinner with some friends, we wanted to grab dessert. I knew Nero Waffle was nearby,…read moreso I suggested it. I've only been to the original location on Robson years ago, so wasn't sure if the quality had stayed the same, but we thought it was worth trying. We ordered a Tiramisu and a Bresilienne to share between four people. It came out it in relatively short time. And wow, they were both even better than I remember. Their waffles are incredibly crisp and light, despite the amount of toppings on them. I don't know how they make them so they stay so resistant to going soggy. And despite the amount of whipped cream, ice cream and sauce on them, the waffle was always able to balance out the sweetness. Their waffles are just perfect balance of flavour and texture. Service was also quite impressive. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and brought share plates with out being asked. Overall, a great dessert. I don't know why I haven't returned earlier.

My friend & I tried: -Smashed avocado BRUSSELS savoury waffle (4/5) really enjoyed the taste of the cheese infused crispy, airy, but melt-in-your-mouth waffle on its own. I wished there were 2 poached eggs rather than just the 1. I'd also rather the salad and avocado on the side instead. -Ham & Cheese LIÈGE stuffed waffle (3.5/5) the waffle itself wasn't too impressive, liked the stuffing though -Pistachio & Vanilla custard mini LIÈGE waffles (2.5/5) again, the waffle texture was unimpressive, dense & softer, not crispy. Vanilla custard was nice and you can see vanilla bean flecks. Pistachio flavour was ok Overall, I would come back just for their BRUSSELS waffle and during brunch time as they have the Benedict option!

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
