    two drinks in plastic cups
    Cynthia S.

    This past weekend Grayson and I went to the beautiful Azure Play Cafe! A special cafe where the owner, Ivan combines his love of baking with his love of parenting. Azure Play Cafe is place where parents can hang out with each other WHILE their little ones play in the children area. This cafe is meant to be a space for all ages. They do this by integrating a play space into the cafe and offering S.T.E.M. and cooking workshops for kids! This allows parents to come to the cafe without having to worry about their children getting bored during their stay. Azure Play Cafe put a lot of time and energy into their cafe menu design because they really wanted it to reflect the cafe's theme. They designed it to look like a magazine to make it unique and match the relaxing atmosphere of the cafe. It's really worth the look because all the photos in it are incredible! If you prefer to look at all their menu items at once, they have a list menu on their front door. They offer a variety of items including fruit salads, sweet soup, jiggly pancakes, waffles, shaved ice and vitamin C fruit drinks! While Grayson and I visited, we were told that their Super Vitamin C drinks and homemade cakes are one of their features. The owner and his wife went on a soul-searching trip to China and on this trip they discovered how to make these items under trained professionals. This allowed them to learn about how to combine ingredients to make the perfect creation. If you're down on Vitamin C, the super orange vitamin c drink is for you! This was similar to an orange juice in that it had a bright and refreshing taste but had the lightness of the tea infused. We were surprised as to how much it tasted like fresh orange juice because we didn't expect it to be like this at all!

    February, 2020 I had been there a lot of times, since they opened. They are getting busy now... I had tried their.. Chinese date longan hot tea... it's good for your throat, warm up your body on freezing cold days. Worth to wait for 15 minutes. Mango sago drinks with coconut milk... their portion, quality and ingredients are different, everytime you order?! Mixed berries lychee drinks... different people made it differently?! Pancake with red bean and matcha ice cream.. it's good with extra matcha cream on top, if not.. it'll be tasteless. Pancake still puffy and soft since then.

    ‼New dessert place alert in Richmond BC‼ First of all we'd like to thank the team at azure play cafe for collaborating with us and for giving us an amazing experience! Thank you for having us! * We tried a variety of items here at azure. We had their soufflé jiggly pancakes in their matcha strawberry flavour ($12.95) strawberry and cream omelette cake ($3.75),super grapefruit drink (6.95) and their hot purple Thai rice with sesame ($7.95). * The matcha strawberry soufflé pancakes were super jiggly soft and delicious. Their matcha sauce was super thick and tasted amazing with their fresh strawberries! Presentation and taste was awesome! Worth the 20 minute wait. * Apart from that their strawberry and cream omelet cake was dense, and sweet. Their sweet cream was thick, and tasted good. It wasn't too heavy which was a good thing! * Their super grapefruit was super fresh! A lot of grapefruits inside so it was a bit strong but if you love grapefruits and the freshness go for it! You won't regret! (A bit sweet and sour from the grapefruit but overall super refreshing!) * And last but certainly not the least, the purple rice and sesame was an interesting taste. I've had both separate so it was cool to combine it. Conclusion: NOT BAD AT ALL! not too sweet and still a good combination! I love how we got it hot and how nicely it tasted with everything we got! * Can't wait to come back to try their shaved ice, and the mango mochi waffles!! Also it was An amazing collaboration so thank you!

    matcha and earl grey soufflé pancakes
    Chloe C.

    Very average and nothing to write home about. We got the matcha and earl grey souffle pancakes. They were alright, but the sauces looked kind of artificial to me. I don't think this place is worth it. Then again, they only opened recently, so maybe they just need some time to sort themselves out.

    Wonderful creative cake make my birthday full of joy. Cake is super fresh and smooth, lots of mango in between layers and the whole cake is covered with lychee- rose flavored cream. Good and Easy communication with Ivan, I got a cake exactly I want. Thank you Ivan & Lina!

    Sweet Memory - Pineapple Shaved Ice

    A cozy Taiwanese family restaurant serving a nice selection of Taiwanese street food and desserts…read more We came here mainly for dessert and ordered the tofu pudding with yam balls. The tofu pudding was AMAZING - freshly made with a delicate soy milk flavor, silky smooth and melts in your mouth. The yam balls are equally impressive, nice yam flavor with just the right amount of chewiness. I could happily eat this all day!

    Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.

At first when we went…read moreinside, I think I wasn't the only one in our party of 9 to wonder what the heck we walked into and wondered if we should leave. The decorations are dated and they have a couch and TV riiiiight behind the ordering counter, lol. God bless the Chinese uncle that owns and runs the place... he and the lady taking the order barely spoke English, so we stumbled with our Mandarin. I think they even spoke Taiwanese with each other?!? Instead of ordering multiple drinks, we just ordered the one mango lover's coconut pudding. Honestly, we didn't know what the heck we ordered and we ordered it to go. It took a little while to prepare, but when it came we were presented with a coconut wrapped in cellophane. We were intrigued and had to open it right then and there. We were treated to a coconut FILLED with fresh mango, mochi, and pudding... all in a fresh coconut - the coconut meat was thin, so you knew it was juicy and fresh! My oldest kid did his best to claim it all for himself as we all wanted a taste. In the end, we did the only thing logical and had to order a second. I would absolutely, hands-down, recommend this place. The family that owns the place deserves our patronage and they've earned it in their own humble way. God bless.

I got the cream, coconut, black sesame and matcha white chocolate. All were filled generously and not too sweet.

    We came to Richmond Public Market for some bubble waffle but my husband bought a drink and a…read moreTaiwanese wheel cake from Peanuts too while we were there. 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.
