I thought I would try something outside of the mall today and walled over to this cozy little restaurant on Kingsway. I came in the afternoon and was greeted by the smell of fish sauce. Which is ok if you like it! The server gave me plenty of time to select what I wanted and I had the salad roll and one of their specialty soups. The salad roll was amazing! And it was presented very well with a side of peanut sauce. The soup was also very tasty. I had the 32 which was recommended by my server. All in all this place is worth a try!

So glad we did not have to wait at 3pm on a weekend Simple decor with traditional Vietnamese hats and Vietnamese music The servers were so friendly and helpful as it was our first time visiting. They added a few new items on the menu and so glad we tried it. (Met Cha - Bamboo Tray) #29 Met Cha Ca- fish cake bamboo tray. We rolled our own rice roll which was fun and added in the herbs (mint, cilantro), fish cake slices, vermicelli, sliced mango and pickled veggies, bean sprouts, served on a traditional bamboo platter. This platter tasted refreshing. $16. The fish cake was soft and flavorful but not fishy which is good for those who don't like that. The #8 Banh Cuon (pork and shrimp ) was pretty smooth and tasty. The steamed rice rolls has to be fresh with the rolled pork and shrimp inside. It is served with some lettuce, bean sprouts cilantro,, dipping sauce and piece of cuttlefish fish cake (also has prawn and basil). It would be nice if they had a hand wash station nearby It would also be helpful if they had high chair for young kids. They have free parking in the back of the restaurant

A Vietnamese restaurant that doesn't serve the typical pho or banh mi, but different unique and authentic dishes. What a refreshing experience. I love visiting new restaurants for this reason. Their menu is simple with just a few items, but I enjoyed everything we ordered. 1. water fern cake - comes with 5 little plates - great for sharing between at least 3 people in my opinion. steamed rice cake with some savoury toppings. 2. prawn steamed rice rolls - my favourite of all the dishes. the rice rolls were so smooth and tasty. this dish was also huge. loved it 3. cudweed cake - northern Vietnam traditional "cake" made with sticky rice and mung beans. this one was quite interesting and the flavours were rather light and subtle. 4. prawn summer rolls - loved the peanut dipping sauce. As they just opened, they are probably still figuring out some things because service was rather slow. I'd also like to suggest them to keep in mind who ordered first and to serve in that order. (The table across from eyes ordered after us but got the water fern cake first *insert eyes emoji*) They are also a relatively small cafe so be aware you might have to wait for a table during busy hours. The decor they have is also nice and cute. In conclusion, I'd love to visit again.

Over the past year and a bit this has become one of our favourite breakfast places. But it is more…read morethan just a place for breakfast or brunch. It is also a fantastic spot to work if you wanna have a café setting because their pastries and bake goods are absolutely fantastic. In fact last year for Christmas, we bought one of their Christmas cake options which proved to be super popular with the family. What I love about this location is the decor. On one side it is a simple industrial warehouse. But it has that post modern feel with all of the live plants. The live plants is what I love and the tall ceiling for the plants to fully grow. Though if they are looking for something else, which could really bring this to the top, it would be to have a fish tank. A fish and or water feature around the massive plant island in the middle of the dinning area would be chefs kiss. Of course, what about the food? From here, I find the food here is excellent. Sometimes the flavour combinations are a little weird. But that's typical for the Vancouver foodie scene. Vancouver food scene is a fusion hybrid of local ingredients mixed with traditions from cultures from other places around the world. But the bottom line is the portions are a good size. The platters in particular are large and would feed a very hungry person. You definitely get your moneys worth. You don't get much table service once you are done with your order. But that is all right because of it size and volume for the amount of people who come through. I am totally happy with the self serve station, which could be enhanced and the large setting with all of the very mature plants. If I would offer advice to anyone it would be this. If you are going to be there on the weekend arrive before 9 AM. People start lining up at 10 to 15 minutes before the store officially opens. Plus I find is easier to take the street parking rather than playing with Faith trying to back out with customers who are not paying attention.

I did get a spoonful of the glorious whipped cream on top of my daughter's mango croissant. $8.50 Heaven. We thought it was worth every penny! The only gluten free item they offered on this day was a chocolate walnut brownie. Rich and pretty satisfying! We didn't mind a bit waiting for our specialty lattes but the flavors were underwhelming. Snow Velvet Latte $6.20 Double shot espresso, regular milk, vanilla syrup, velvet cream, cocoa dusting. My iced 16 ozs dark chocolate mocha was also not a memorable one. In spite of the unsatisfying lattes and lack of GF items, I'm still fond of the energy that fills in this cafe so I'll probably return.

Saw this place on tiktok and had to give it a try. My bestie and I were visiting from America…read more The food and atmosphere was so amazing. The girl working behind the counter was so sweet and recommended some stuff off the menu. We loved everything we had. Even talked to some locals inside and they were so friendly and gave us some more recommendations in the area.

This place closed down for awhile and then reopened. This was our first visit back since they…read morereopened. Gotta be honest, it's not as good as it used to be. The menu has shrunk considerably and their business days/hours are also a lot less than what it was previously. The drinks were not as tasty as they used to be. My Blue Rose drink was the best of the bunch and I would say even that was just OK. I enjoyed the Lychee jelly in my drink. That was probably the best part of the drink. The liquid part was kinda "meh" for me. I think the best thing we ordered was the matcha soft serve ice cream. On the flip side, there was a guy playing piano there and they were taking requests. I suggested Demon Slayer and the guy played the famous "Gurenge" song by Lisa from season one of Demon Slayer. That was kinda cool. He was a very good pianist. Great way to liven the atmosphere. Also, there was a guy who came around and gave us all tiny paper cranes. It's nothing much, but still always nice to be gifted with anything at all. Business must be hard for them. It would sure be nice to see them return to how they used to be, with a bigger menu, tastier drinks and more days/hours again. We love this place for the manga/ anime vibes that it exudes, and love the Matcha soft serve ice cream they sell here. Really wanna give this place a higher rating but the drinks were really not up to par this time, and as much as we love the Matcha ice cream, it is not by itself enough to warrant giving out a higher rating. If they could just improve the quality of their drinks again...then even if they menu remains limited, at least if everything they serve is of good quality...that would be enough to merit a higher rating.

Finally decided to walk into this cute cafe that i always pass by whenever going to the grocery…read morestore a few steps away. It's always busy but today it looked quiet at random so stumbled in. So glad i finally decided to. Cozy cute cafe where you can study and bring your labtop/ introvert friendly or quick catchup with the girls / cute coffee date etc ... 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.

I revisited La saison de patisserie to grab some drink and get a birthday card…read more They sell cute 3D BD card with reasonable price. I got Houjicha Strawberry latte. I usually love their dessert and drink. The one I had this time, houjicha flavor was a bit weak and strawberry purre dominated the flavor, it was just ok. It might be depend on barista. I found they offer soccer themed cake which was very cute.

I'm conflicted with coffee loft. I love coffee. I love coffee shops. I love pastries. Coffee loft…read morehas all these, but it's just okay. To be clear, it's a great vibe inside. Plenty of seats for small groups and big groups. High ceilings make the location feel spacious. And it was busy with a lot of people. I think if I'm going to hang out with people, coffee loft would be a great spot. However, I don't think the coffee and pastries are particularly good. But of course, I'm a bit biased since these are the things I look for in coffee shops: the coffee. It's not bad. It's just okay. So in short, I think if you're looking for a place to hang, Coffee Loft is great! If you're looking for coffee or pastries, there are other places. Still worth visiting though!

We visited Coffee Loft for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival…read more What we got: Cherry Blossom Matcha with Cotton Candy Ceremonial-grade matcha with delicate cherry blossom sweetness, topped with a cloud of airy cotton candy that slowly melts into the drink. Ube Latte with Cold Foam Rich, nutty sweetness of purple yam blended with creamy espresso, finished with a silky layer of cold foam. Cherry blossom matcha with cotton candy has so instagram-worthy presentation! Not only it looks pretty, but alsoit tasted great! Strawberry puree and matcha paired so well. Ube latte with cold foam was good, too. Their espresso stood out and ube flavor came through later. I really liked their espresso which was strong and bold. Ube foam was very tasty. I really liked this item. Service was extremely good and friendly. I will revisit this place and would like to try different item next time

This cafe merits repeat visits as I have enjoyed every item I ordered here. We especially liked their savory items such as breakfast sandwiches and the roast beef melt! Unfortunately, the lobster melt is no longer available on the menu or that would be my favourite. Bastion is a popular place for coffee drinkers to work on their laptops here, because there are outlets available by the round table area that looks into the gym. Service is quite efficient and they even offer free coffee grounds for your gardens when available. Hours of operation are great here, as it opens early and continues till dinner time. Lots of free parking available, though the community centre parking lot can get busy. In short, Bastion is a great coffee shop - whether you are here to catch up with friends over coffee or to stop by for a protein drink after workout or to grab a light meal to go or to simply sit down and enjoy some pastry for your sugar cravings...Bastion Coffee Kitchen won't disappoint!

I ordered the roast beef melt sandwich which is their signature and popular item. Well deserved! It's flavorful and the beef is very soft. You can bite through it easily and there's no dryness at all. It's great if you prefer softer food or teeth are not strong. Lots of tables and seating area. It only got crowded when people sat around waiting for their fitness class. The only drawback was the parking. It was almost full! I was lucky to find a spot round the corner. I sure didn't expect it to be so busy. Reminded me of the busy parking lot at Hillcrest CC in Vancouver. Maybe I was there when there were many fitness classes or activities then. Good place to have a bite or coffee after your workout or to meet friends.
