I did not try apple fritter, I was told it was just ok, but, it was large portion. Chocolate babka was too sweet. Dough was crispy outside which was good, but inside was a bit dry and overly sweet. Iced cafe latte was very delicious! Sweetness was perfect with bold coffee flavor. Next time, we want to try different items, especially cakes looked great

We stopped into Kandell as we were aiming to try their egg salad sandwiches to see if they could…read morefulfill our craving of the ones we had in Tokyo! They don't fully stack up but are darn close! The bread to egg ratio is fab, the milk bread has a nice light sweetness to it, the filling is creamy and made with good kewpie mayo. The deduction for me was the crust, I love how in Tokyo the sandos are crustless! The freshness was there which was also nice as they package it properly. The real showstopper was the Yuzu Lemondade - so fresh ring and delish!! Would love to get it again in the summer. I also had a black sesame mochie but which was yummy too, great texture and nutty flavour. The store itself I prob would only take to go as it's quite cold and the seating is strange, it's like outdoor furniture inside. Not a ton of space either if there are a few people sitting already. The service was nice but definitely quite slow so pop in when you have the time.

Japanese bakeries just hit different and I didn't come across anything that I hated. The curry pan is absolutely the star with the crunchy outer texture and savory curry filling. The yuzu green onion cheese bun and pizza bun were delicious and I could've been equally happy with those alone. Meanwhile the kawaii animal breads are begging to be bought with how attractive they look - obviously toddler friendly. Highly recommend a stop here.

I was finally able to snatch a Surprise Bag and I absolutely loved it! I got two slices of their Vegan Matcha Raspberry + Pistachio Cake and their Vegan Vanilla Bean Shortbread. The cake was perfection. Perfectly moist, great matcha flavour, the matcha buttercream filling is heavenly, and the raspberries and pistachio compliments the cake. The shortbread cookie were also great.. finished them pretty quickly! I was really impressed. I am definitely planning on getting the next birthday cake from here cause they all look amazing. Really happy that I found another great bakery!

The price was very fair considering the quality and flavour. This time around, I ordered a mung bean and pandan cake for my dad's birthday. It is quite difficult to get my Asian parents' approval on sweets, as generally everything is too sweet and heavy for their liking. However, this cake really hit the spot! It was not too sweet, and the combination of pandan and mung bean was fragrant and flavourful. My parents had high praise for the cake, and so, needless to say, I will be back for every birthday of theirs. Their online platform is easy to navigate and order from. Pick-up is easy at their storefront on Kingsway, where you can also pick up cake jars and other little treats inside.

Couple weekends ago, I stopped by the shop and bought a 4-inch mini chiffon cake. Since it was the…read moreweekend, their display fridge was full of cakes in two different sizes waiting for pickup. It was my first time visiting, so I asked the staff to introduce a few options before deciding on a small 4-inch cake. 4" Bayberry, Lychee & Crème Brûlée Cloud Chiffon Cake - $38.00 Fresh whipped cream blended with in-house bayberry jam made from whole seasonal fruit, combined with lychee flesh and their signature vanilla crème brûlée. They happened to have all the ingredients ready in-store, so I was able to pick it up just three hours later. The shop itself is quite small, with only about three tables for customers to sit and enjoy their cakes and coffee. They also offer individual cheesecakes, individual size chiffon cakes, muffins and cookies. The lychee chiffon cake was a big hit. The cream was light and not greasy at all, and the lychee flavor was very fragrant. There were even several pieces of real lychee fruit inside. The staff mentioned this was their most popular dessert cake. Highly recommended! I'd love to come back next time to try other desserts and their coffee. Definitely recommend this place.

It was not overly sweet, presentation was beautifual, however, raspberry mousse was partially frozen, a bit watery, and flavor was very weak. Hojicha milk was just ok. Hojicha cream form was very creamy and good, but, flavor was very weak. Strawberry puree was fine, Strawberry puree and cream form dominate this drink. I wish hojicha flavor could be more stronger. Matcha strawberry milk was ok, too. matcha flavor was not too strong, strawberry drink part was good. Cream form was very creamy and good. All items prices were on higher side. Next time, I might try at Richmond locataion.

There's a wide variety of cakes and drinks, so it's easy to find something whether you're into classic flavours or more adventurous options. We tried several cakes, double-layer cheesecake, dark chocolate crepe, durian crepe, gelato, matcha with cheese foam, and tea. Honestly, we couldn't pick a favourite--everything was delicious. Even the durian crepe, which surprised us in the best way. It was creamy, well-balanced, and not overpowering. Overall, the cakes stood out, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted.

Bright and tangy notes meet smooth, comforting chocolate -- a taste of sunshine on a crisp fall afternoon. Bi colored croissant looked very beautiful.

It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.

The pastries are delicious and crafted so beautifully. I came here for hot chocolate festival and the flavours were spot on. A tad sweet but it's hot chocolate. I also tried their limited time sticky rice croissant which had all the umami flavours one could want! Texture of the croissant was crunchy, butter and full of flavour. Sadly, the sticky rice texture mixed with croissant was not the best. The service here is great. Staff are friendly. The only downside to this store is the way their line up system works. They have 2 store areas, connected by the till. It's a bit hard to pass through when there are people waiting in line to pay, waiting on line to order, etc. Just a bit of awkward spacing

The cafe is currently participating in the hot chocolate festival too but i ordered a matcha latte along with a cruffin apple cheesecake and ooo it was so delicious and bouncy airy. The center had fresh bits of apple and there was a creamy cream cheese filling and you get this texture that's a combo of crossiant and muffin .. if you love apple or even caramel etc i think it would really suit your pallette. I will order some pastries to go next time when i have more time. Staff is super friendly and patient. They handled the loads of questions i had. Super clean place too. Free parking upfront and there's parking downstairs too.
