We got a latte to split, and even the cup was adorable. I also picked up a coin purse to remember this cute spot. This is an absolute must-do for any true Hello Kitty fan. There's also a decent amount of seating, which was nice to see.

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.

They no longer have the melon pan, but they have transitioned those into mochi cookies.

Flaky egg tart with creamy flan Supreme breakfast croissant 4.5/5 -- it was good but needs some salt. Midnight croissant 4.5/5 -- this would have been good if the filling was evenly distributed. The colors made it very attractive Brown sugar coffee 5/5 - I don't do coffee but this was really good. Not strong in coffee flavor, creamy, and good amount of sweet Banh mi - 3/5 the only disappointment. The filling was minimal, and it was bland and dry. The bread itself was good though. Service was good as well. It does take some time for food to come out though so be patient

I visited Broye cafe to try hot chocolate festival limited item…read more Saigon after Dark - Pho spice 2.0 -Key flavors of dark chocolate and new pho spice. Dark chocolate infused with cinnamon star anise, black pepper and orange zest. Service with Takoyaki Croissant. I had the pho spice hot chocolate last year, I remember the last year one flavor was more stronger. This year's one was subtle and I could not taste much savory flavor in. It was a just regular hot chocolate. If this was a regular hot chocolate, it tasted good, however, if it was pho spice one, not really impressive . Takoyaki croissant was very unique. I enjoyed that croissant with Vegetable, Mayo and sauce on the top. Actually, highlight was cafe royal tart. - A flaky puff pastry tart filled with silky milk-and-coffee cream, topped with a rich caramel flan for a smooth, aromatic café-style treat. This is not hot chocolate festival item. Cream caramel on the top of crispy Pie tart caught my eye. Cream caramel was very delicious and coffee cream filling was really good. Pie tart's dough was super crispy and buttery. I really loved this item.

According to the website, this chain is named after the owner's golden retriever. It sure looks happy. Parking is available in front of the building, as well as along various village side streets.

Staff are friendly and cheerful. No complaints. The doughnuts are a bit pricey but they sure are delicious. I really like "Asian" style doughnuts as they are less sweet than their western counterparts. I had the matcha cream and could definitely taste the matcha. Will be trying their other locations at some point. Recommended.

Half way through our cold coffees I wished we had sat at a table instead. Here's some honesty... We were in the mood for a great cup of coffee with some sweets on a nice Fall day in beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Not only did it not hit the spot, but we couldn't have gotten out of there quicker. Very Disappointing. The Golden Retriever Logo was cute though.

It was our first time visiting Ek Chai Kahani, so we were not familiar with their menu (and not familiar with Indian cuisine overall).

I was surprised by their samosas. My Indian friend told me that most samosas we can buy nowadays are not authentic - the wrapping is not flaky. I didn't know what my friend was talking about until I tried Ek Chai Kahani. Their samosa wrapping is actually flaky and layered, which I have never tried before! Would definitely return for a quick bite of Indian snack!

I have been this cafe for many times, and recently dropped by to get some baking goods. What I got - Hazelnut supreme croissant and cheesy bite(cheese pull apart). Hazelnut supreme's hazelnut cream was sweet, so good. Dough could have been a bit more crispy outside. Some parts of croissant was a bit soggy. Cheese bite(pull apart) was the best pull apart I have ever had. Size was large, decent price and cheese flavor was strong. Dough was crispy outside and inside was so soft and buttery. So delicious! Highly recommend this item! Overall, I always love this cafe. I will visit here to get new item next time.
