Food is good. Service is ok. Ambiance is ok. There is no label to tell you what each cake/pastry is. And no price listed. Overall it is a very average cafe. Nothing to write home about. I would go elsewhere next time. read more

Went there on a cold Friday night. Pretty nice pastries but it closes a little early as a coffee/ dessert place. A little disappointed. But Swiss Roll was good and fruity. Pretty refreshing. That has made us happy again, haha! Service was okay and friendly with some standard couches as well as chairs. IT IS a nice alternative for hanging around with friends compared to our beloved Timmy's in Canada. An okay coffee/ dessert place. It would be nicer if they could run longer business hours. read more

This is one of the only dessert places in Richmond Hill that opens past 9pm which is so blessed (too many places close before 8 or 9pm which is a bummer cuz most ppl like to grab dessert after dinner). Traditionally, most persian cafes/bakeries tend to make REALLY sweet desserts/pastries so my gf and I were very pleasantly surprised that these weren't overly sweet. Their snacks are all very balanced. She picked out a couple of pastries that looked interesting and a slice of roll cake as well. We thought they were all quite good. The roll cake (while not best-in-class or anything of the sort) was above avg. They sell both gelato and ice cream but I was really intrigued by the ice cream since it looked totally homemade. I opted for pistachio at the manager's recommendation and it was so nice. A lot of nuttiness came through. Oh, btw, the coffee is a sleeper hit for sure. My gf ordered a cappuccino and it was actually REALLY tasty. Like very surprising for a super small cafe with no parking (but I guess it makes sense cuz you can see several high-end coffee machines they use behind the counter). Will be back in the future to try some of the other cookies in the shelf/window that looked interesting! The manager was also super sweet (like one of those really friendly persian aunties). read more

Nice cafe. Plenty of parking at the back, though not easy to spot the sign directing customers to the parking area. I enjoy the cookies and biscuits. Just the right size and not too sweet. Atmosphere was nice. Temperate was perfect even though we were sitting on the second floor. read more

This is a decent cafe, conveniently located on Yonge Street, with free parking in the back. They have a wide assortment of cookies and pastries. The atmosphere is pretty dark because it's an old building that's pretty narrow, to begin with. You have tables and chairs on the second floor where can you sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with cookies. I found baffling that they have not resumed serving tea in glass cups and pots due to COVID. Like, HELLO! It's July 2023. Besides, the claim that COVID is transmitted on hard surfaces is not backed by science. This myth has been debunked a long time ago. Such decisions that have got absolutely nothing to do with science rub me the wrong way. Drinking tea from a paper cup is gross. I want an authentic experience. Otherwise, what am I paying for? Anyway, I digress. Cookies and sweets are of good quality but at the same time, you can find just as good if not better quality cookies at Papa Bakery, south of Elgin Mills on Yonge. The ladies working there are courteous and friendly. I had a great chat with them. Their baklava disappointed me. It wasn't of high enough quality that I'm used to. Not too many places know how to make proper baklava. I'd rate their baklava at 3/5 in terms of quality and taste. Overall, this place is ok for a business meeting if you need a quiet place to sit down and talk. read more

What a lovely spot for a cup of tea, coffee and some amazing sweets. Nice first date spot. Also had art for sale and I purchased a painting to give a friend as a gift. Excellent experience. read more

I always love coming here! The upstairs area of this cafe is quiet and perfect for a date, getting some studying/work done (as the cafe has good wifi), and group meet-ups -- such a homey, cozy ambiance. It is an old building, but the way I would describe it is grandpa attic vibes. Their service is always so fast & friendly, their coffee and Persian pastries delicious, and I've never ran into the problem of not being able to find seating here, which is hard to find in a cafe in the busy downtown Richmond Hill area. They also offer ice cream and faloodeh (the pomegranate flavoured one is my favourite), cakes for different occasions, and some nuts and lavashak for sale. Keep in mind that seating space downstairs is mostly couches while upstairs has lots of tables with chairs, with a TV and even a book shelf. The only issue is the steps going upstairs are steep and long, which might make it inaccessible for some! read more

How have I not rated this before?! I probably go here at least once a month - it's one of my favourite cafes in town. Located just past Major Mac on Yonge is BB Cafe. Look out for a small house like building right past the traffic light before the pizza pizza plaza going north. They have plenty of customer parking in the back, although the entrance to get in is a bit narrow. Once you get inside you are greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked pastries and desserts. So amazing! They have a great selection of Persian desserts like pastries, roll cakes, cookies etc. They also have fondue and crepes (though I've never tried them). They have seating both upstairs and down, with upstairs being a bit cozier. My favourite thing to get here is the Mille feuille a dessert with cream and pastry layers, but the princess donut cream puff is also really good! And the cookies! Don't forget to order some Persian tea as well! If you're looking a dessert spot, BB Cafe is the place! read more

BB Cafe - Mille feuille dessert - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Cute place. Not rushed. The top floor is where all the seating is. Nice decor. Orange and brown accent walls. Cozy seating. "Fireplace". I ordered an omelette bc it sounded great and it was. Fried dates and walnuts. Mmm. It was in the evening that I ordered this from the breakfast section of the menu, but the cook made it for me gladly. Love that. Crepes are good too and are a bit crispy if that's how you like them- I do. Will be back for sure. read more

This is truly some of the best ice cream I've had. Period. The pomegranate, the pistachio, and the shining star: the saffron pistachio. I don't really recall the price, but it's not cheap, and totally worth it. I got the saffron pistachio for dessert for my birthday celebration, and it's creamy, delicious. I have no more to say, I haven't been in the store so I can't comment but wow this ice cream. I highly recommend it. And it comes in many sizes so you can try out a bunch. The ingredients feel good for you, and there's no guilt feeling after. Go my friends! And enjoy this eat!! read more

First time in this Persian cafe. Seems they are quite popular since they have few locations. It was my first time there. All the pastry were in small pieces. So I thought they sold in individual price. When I asked the lady how much is it. She answered me $34. I was shocked cuz I thought she means $34/piece. As I asked her again and she gave me the same answer. I questioned her why, then she told me that they need to weight it after I picked the pieces I want. Could the lady be more specific when you see the customer looked confused? I have to say the cakes are very good. Creamy enough but not over of course if you not eat too much at once. read more

Such a sweet little coffee shop and the people there are very friendly and nice! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Will be back again

Service - cold service. No one greeted me even though a few staffs are at the counter. Food - really meh... the raspberry pistachio cake was stale and full of artifical flavour... worst cake I had. When I got home, I saw the cake actually cracked open on the side; I am not sure how long the cake had been in the display. How could the staff sold me the stale cake. The cake roll was okay. I had a much better roll elsewhere. I will never return. read more

Wonderful freshly baked deserts! I love the Swiss rolls and the Napoleon (comescream and custard are both fabulous). The deserts are good, but service for dine-I'm customers is extremely slow. The priority is takeout and phone orders. I was quite disappointed the last two times I went there. read more

This is the 2nd location of the popular BB Cafe in North York. I have so much faith in this cafe as I even recommend my friend to visit even before I have a chance to come here. It is a step up from their Original location. Nicer deco, More spacious and even more seating! Get the Persian Black Tea ($3). The presentation and the cute looking cup and teapot really enhanced my experience! Get the Rollet ($3.50). My Vanilla Pistachio roll was just so good. Get the Saffron and Rosewater Ice Cream ($3.50) to go. Oh so Creamy! OK, just get everything... they even have a whole cake! Free wifi access but seems there are not too many electric outlets on the ground floor. Free parking behind the building, the entrance is just south of the cafe. I will be back! read more

Head upstairs! This has to be the coziest coffeeshop I have ever been to :-) This is my first time here. I usually spend my Sundays at Korean coffeeshops but this Sunday I decided to try something different. Something with 4+ stars on Yelp and approved by Elites :-) I will start off with the decor. Its very cozy and welcoming. You will feel like you are at a friend's or a relative's house. Perfect for chatting over coffee and sweets. Washrooms (downstairs) are clean and well maintained. Free WiFi. Now to the sweets. Creme caramel is really tasty and I absolutely recommend it. Cheesecake is thick so make sure you have room for it before ordering it :-) prices are comparable to indie coffeeshops. Free parking area in the back (follow the arrow!) I am surely coming back for more. read more

Ordered a pistachio pineapple cake and a mocha. I was surprised when I saw the pistachio cake arrived. The portion was so generous. I thought the waitress gave us a quarter of the cake. The presentation of the cake was attractive. There were floral decoration made of white chocolate and there was chocolate drawing on the plate. At the first bite, it didn't taste as sweet as I had imagined. The kore I ate, the sweeter I tasted. Anyhow, I like the pistachio taste and the pineapple was refreshing. The mocha was sweet. I think I have made a mistake. I didn't mean the mocha was not good but I think coffee or black tea may be a better beverage that goes with the pistachio cake. Anyway, I will make a better choice next time. I would want to try other cakes or desserts next tume. read more

I had a gathering with friends at this cafe. In fact, I found this cafe on Yelp first. There were two stories for this cafe. There were a few small tables on the first floor and also there were two transparent windows displaying the sweets and cakes as well as other treats. On the second floor, there were a few larger tables with a few small tables. I sat on the second floor and I felt it was more cozier to sit on the second floor. I ordered a piece of pistachio pineapple cake and a glass of mocha. I was astonished to see the large piece of pistachio pineapple cake that I had ordered. It looked like I was given a quarter of the cake. The slice of cake was nicely decorated with white chocolate flower on top with pistachio green on the surface of the cake. I could taste the pistachio and the refreshing pineapples inside the cake. The only negative factor I would say is the cake is a bit too sweet. When the cup of Mocha came, I could see the multiple layers of the coffee, white, light brown and dark brown. Again, the presentation was elegant. The waitress gave me sugar on the side in case I need it. It's sweet enough and it tastes delicious. without read more

The cafe is nice and Cousy however the service level has not come back to a good level yet after Covid. They still serve specialty coffee in a paper cup though I asked to enjoy in-house and the pastry is served on paper plate with plastic cutlery. It would be nice to serve in china plate with a bit of decoration and love... I think it would definitely elevate guest experience a lot! Over all okay not exceeding expectations. read more

Not going back to this place. Their pastries are sometimes good and fresh and sometimes OLD. not reliable. read more

Cozy little place for desserts or a quick bite to eat if your in the area. They have soup, salad, sandwiches, and savoury crepes available. We didn't try these savoury options. My review is based on sit in dessert experience. Mocha drink was delish and nicely presented. Cake slices are around $5-6 each. It's a small place with just a few tables. Service was friendly. Will be back when I'm in the area read more

The staff at BB Cafe were extremely hospitable, despite it being a busy New Year Eve lunch, our waitress kindly explained the variety of teas and pastries available. I was able to treat my grandmother, sister, mother and myself with two pastries and a pot of tea for under $15 :0 The pastries were not homemade nor was the tea overly extraordinary however the food and drink were delicious and well presented!

I am curious with the very polarized reviews, as I am on the low range with 2/5 stars. This place at the time had 4-5 stars when we decided to go, and we were disappointed with our experience. Service was one of my notable bad experiences I've ever had. We weren't greeted. We had to wait for someone to seat us for over 5 minutes even though there was an employee standing right there. He did not notify the server and he didn't greet us either. It was very unwelcoming and had an unfriendly vibe. After seating us on the second floor, we scoured the menu and decided to order the fondue, a shaved ice, and a sundae. Service was slow and it took forever for her to bring us stuff and after delivering our food, we never saw her again until we went downstairs to pay our bill (because we knew she wouldn't come back to check on us). The desserts were interesting. I've never had Persian sweets before so I'm not sure if it's my tastebuds or my lack of understanding, but it was subpar, had small portions, and a little pricey for me. To conclude, I would not come back again and I do not recommend it. The only positives is that it had wifi and the decor was comfy. 2/5. read more

One thing you should know before coming here is that they're not very good at English here. It seems like most of their workers aren't able to answer your question (we asked if they had savoury menu and they looked at us with a confused face) When we did order, it was painful to watch her write down word for word.. it's good that she's writing the order down exactly but when my order came they gave me a crepe instead of a waffle. I also asked for the caramelized pecan but got walnuts. This was after waiting 20 min for our food.. Overall their food was pretty good (my friend really liked he's Napoleon). And the ice cream I got was very good. Their other baked goods look good too. Food wise I would give 5 stars! read more

I typically like to go home and fully absorb my experience before writing a review, however occasionally something is either so good or so bad that it deserves commentary right away. In this instance it's the former, BB Cafe of Richmond Hill is the newest and best cafe to come to the town in ages. Props to Lee C, for her detailed review, and I won't comment too much more on the space as it is gorgeous, elegant and the perfect place for a cozy night out. In terms of location it's just north of Major Mackenzie on the east side of Yonge. I came here searching for a quiet place to do work close to home and I found it! Free WiFi and plenty of outlets on the second floor for my computer. In fact the second floor was virtually empty aside from a pair of after school teenagers who made out shamelessly in the booth across from me. Come on kids, it's a computer, not a brick wall ha ha (ah well to be young as they say). Given that this is a Persian cafe/bakery, I went for my fave Persian black tea and I was amazed at the extra detail that went into it's presentation. A small dainty tea glass, a single serving tea pot that was set atop a candle warmer so that each cup of tea was as warm as the last! I was even convinced by my server to have small dessert and she recommended that the "must try" dessert was one of their rolls. I opted for the small chocolate roll and it was perfect. I'm not a huge sweets person so the fact that this was only mildly sweet yet packed a perfectly balanced flavour I was a HUGE fan - stellar recco! As I perused their menu I also noticed that they do an assortment of sweet and savoury crepes, various fruit and vegetable based smoothies and drinks, the standard coffee and tea options but in the bottom right hand corner I noticed a chocolate fondue option!! With the number of sweet and savoury food options, warm beverages, free (reliable) WiFi and the excellent layout, I think this might replace Covernotes as my new Richmond Hill coffice (coffee shop office). read more

I came to this place to meet a friend, Richmond hill is not my neighborhood so I had to look up on the internet to find a place. Based on the good review of this place, we came here after work.

They have tons of freshly baked goods and every single piece looks amazing! This will be my spot if I'm ever meeting with someone in this area. read more

A hidden gem in Richmond Hill! I've been a handful of times and never been disappointed. It gets better with every visit as I sample my way around the menu. At first glance BB Cafe looks like a tea, coffee and pastry shop, but don't let that fool you, they have a nice menu of delicious food. I am told that all the baking, food and ice creams/ices are made from scratch either in-house or at their other location in North York, so this is real food, take some time to drop by and try their goodies! The pastries are excellent and really very beautiful and the skill used to create these yummy goods is apparent. The owners and the staff are Persian and they bring a great selection of their home baking and cooking to the menu. The service has always been very good, they are always happy to explain the cakes and pastries to me :-) read more

This place is absolutely PERFECT. Great food, stunning atmosphere and music. MOST importantly, the food and desserts is jaw dropping. Order the Tuna Melt - 10/10 QUALITY Order the Atlantic Waffle - Best ever blend of smoked salmon in a waffle, ever. Order the moccasin-looking-chocolate-filled dessert. Have no idea what the name is. Super soft, but will rock your taste bud. If I had two stomachs, I would honestly eat another order of these dishes in the same sitting. read more

I like rich desserts. Flash news: they are desserts; they are not supposed to be good for your waist line. Just give me the real deal. And BB Cafe does not disappoint. The cheesecake was creamy and rich. The chocolate roll cake was not too sweet. The plating was exquisite. The chef's attention to details showed, as well as the pride. The server answered our questions patiently and politely. Her knowledge in the goods showed. BB Cafe also sells sandwiches, panini, crepes and waffles for lunches and dinners. The decor is classy. The seating at ground floor is too close, as our neighbours eavesdropped on our conversation. read more

The service was a little slow however the staff was great in helping us since it was our first time. The place is packed and rightfully so, it is so quaint.

BB Cafe, where have you been all this time???? Came here on a sunny Sunday morning, I walk in and the first thing i notice is how beatiful and cozy this place looks in sunlight!! I have never seen a decor that compliments sunlight more than theirs, and they have plenty of windows to let the sunlight in. /sunlight rant over Needless to say the atmosphere was really good and me very comfortable. Now to the food. I had the roast beef and my SO had the Triple chees sandwhich, we asked to add chicken to the cheese sandwhich and they did. The food was flavourful and good. The Americano was a little weak, i do believe their speciality would be the persian tea so i will try that next. We had the chocolate fondue after that, and it was pretty damn tasty! I have never had a chocolate fondue before and I am a fan of it now. Will definitely be going again, even if it is out of my route. read more

I've only stayed in the other location on Yonge Street (@ Finch), but I've gotten coffee/desserts to-go at this newer location. There are only a few tables, but despite being right off of Yonge, the inside is nice, quiet, 'n cozy! Got an Americano it was alright. I seemed to have to add all the milks/cream that was provided in the small bowl. Got a Neopolitan-type dessert with custard filling and it was really good. Not too sweet. This particular location is much, much easier to access if you're heading North. Otherwise, forget about it unless it's during off-hours. Parking: Directly behind the small house-looking café, on the South-side. DO NOT park at the other plaza just North of it 'cause apparently they ticket 'n tow. read more
