If you want milk, cream, etc for you drink, you'll need to let them know when ordering as they don't have any of that by the sugar/lids/napkin counter. We got there just when they opened, like 5 minutes after, on a Sunday and it was already getting full. We sat by the window counter so we can enjoy the cake and also look out at the cars trying to park.

I always look for awesome coffee wherever I travel and so far I have not found great coffee in Vancouver. I always get a plain latte so I can taste the coffee well. The coffee was very bitter, although not as bad as a couple other places I've tried here in Vancouver. So if you are looking for a flavorful and robust coffee, this is not the place.

I hadn't been to Taster's Bakery in a while but found myself missing their cream puffs - they have…read morefour flavours and I got one of each - mango, strawberry, original and cappuccino (2 for $1.90). The puffs were bursting with cream so much so that the mango one kind of burst while in transit, however was still super delicious and didn't taste too sweet or artificial. Their prices are quite reasonable given other bakeries in the area, and I'd like to go back to try their cake slices next time.

Decent selection including multiple gluten free , vegan and gluten free + vegan desserts. Also vegetarian sandwiches and savoury pastries

My family and I have been going to this location for years and our experience has their ups and…read moredowns. When going for lunch time, there was no wait and only a few people in the restaurant, at the time we went, so service was relatively quick. But upon sitting down and getting water, depending on who your server is, you might be waiting a good 10-20 minutes or if you are lucky, much quicker than that. With our server, we unfortunately got the slower side of service. Upon several minutes of glancing at the menu, putting the menu down and waiting for around 10-15 minutes to be serviced, the female waitress (Again, keep in mind the restaurant was NOT busy): Was on the phone the entire time or when she had the chance to be on it. Was giving a rude attitude the entire time to us and other customers. Kept passing our table about 7-8 times before we had to raise our voices to let her know we were ready. Never checked in with us after receiving the food or to refill water. I feel like there was a number of other things but those were what stood out to me and my family. When getting the food, we have no complaints on that, as the food was good, had a variety of choices to choose from and worth the price. In the end, towards paying and leaving the restaurant, my aunt hysterically asked the waitress, "Excuse me, are you sick or tired?" and I guess the waitress didn't respond and nodded.

The ice for the bing-soo are super fine and delicious. At the beginning I kind of thought they were…read morecoconut shavings but they just look like it. They melt in your mouth and perfect texture. We got: MANGO BINGSOO -the best of the bunch. They used sweet Manila mangoes so they were sweet and delicious. Will be my go -to from this point on STRAWBERRY BINGSOO - it was okay. The strawberries were not as sweet so maybe it would be better during strawberry season (whenever that is)? OREO BINGSOO - pretty good. My nephew liked it a lot CHEESECAKE BINGSOO - skip it. You get 4 tiny slices of cheesecake to the side and some crumbs on top that were pretty good but just didn't pack as much flavor as the others we had.

I was intrigued by the Asian desserts they served so I convinced my "I swear by ice cream on any…read moreday" kind of husband to try this new place. Expected it to be a small place serving some desserts but this place is huge and had a very young vibe! We looked around and everyone was digging into a big tub spooning out it's "shaved ice" like contents into small bowls and enjoying it. That's what I want i decided. It was Bingsoo! So delicious!! It comes in fruit flavours among others and we opted for strawberry bingsoo but I saw everyone going for a mango one. The bingsoo came in a big tub like bucket which had ice cream in the middle , ice on top and it was covered with strawberries and topped with whipped creme . We enjoyed it and it was frankly a little too much for 3 of us. We also tried the Nutella filled pancakes which were flaky and light! Definitely worth trying.

The ice was shaved finely, the condensed milk and whipped cream sweetened things well, but the mangos themselves were lacking in quantity. Prices weren't obviously posted, as it was more pricey than expected, but at least the US exchange rate plays in my favor.

They serve organic coffee and I was excited to try their holiday drinks. I was dining in so I'm not sure why they gave me a to go cup, it didn't taste as good. The cashier told me they make their own muffins and recommend the ube muffin. It did not taste like ube and it was stale so I threw it away. Their bingsu was refreshing. They have several flavours of taiyaki to choose from. It was a bit of a wait, but they're made fresh to order. The flavours were all good, but my faves were custard and 3 cheese.

While there is usually a pretty long wait (even to purchase baked goods), it is worth as long as you order the right things. Their baked goods are definitely the best. Nothing compares to the queen!! It's like a croissant, roll, caramelized sugar masterpiece. Their other baked items vary and are very good. We've also gotten two of their entrees before which we did enjoy. They weren't big portions though for the price point. Con for this place is it is quite expensive. You have to order a lot in order to get full (which is very expensive) and you'd be hard pressed to get back in line to order something additional if you needed. expect to wait at least 15 minutes when the line is "short" and fingers crossed you don't go too late where baked goods are sold out.

Not every retailer offers such. No other milk alternatives besides oat milk. That's fine. My hot espresso mocha latte wasn't to my liking. Maybe this is just me. No cash accepted. I paid by debit card, no problem. During the last few months, I have visited their Polygon location, the GNW coffeehouse now the Surrey Pavilion cafe. All the staff were nice though. Would I seek out visiting this ever popular coffee chain again? My answer would be no when there are many others to pick from.
