Stopped by Gong Cha in New West to grab some bubble tea on a sunny day. They had a few dine-in…read morespots in the cafe. My friends who are big matcha fans ordered two different types of matcha strawberry drinks - :: matcha strawberry cream - this was thick and milky, the matcha flavour in this one wasn't too strong :: strawberry matcha latter - this had strawberry pulp on the bottom which was really sweet and you had to really stir it well for it to mix well. The matcha flavour in this was strong enough. :: peach yogurt with coconut jelly - it was so refreshing but I accidentally ordered it with 100% sugar which made it TOO sweet, this would have been my new fav drink if it was like 50% sugar. I'll definitely get this again though! We also got their garlic butter bread which was delicious! It was soft, garlicy, and creamy. Loved it! I'm not sure if they always have it, but if they do, then I will be getting it. I also tried their coffee bun which was really good and had a strong coffee flavour.

I got the smoked salmon benedict ($20) and it was so delicious. There's something else other than hollandaise sauce in the benny that makes it next level. I also tried my boyfriend's waffle fries and they were so good. I could eat so many of those. His waffle chicken sandwich ($21) was perfect. Great waffle bun paired with fresh crispy juicy chicken. I will be coming back to devour everything there.

Decent diner breakfast but don't expect exceptional flavours…read more Tried 2 different Bennie's , avocado tomato and fried chicken. The fried chicken was actually two chicken strips , not really crispy or any crunch but not bad. Hollandaise sauce was flavoured and generous amount. The potatoes were the best part , cooked just right for slightly crisp and soft. Ordered a latte which was about a 3/5 , not amazing coffee I would stick to their milkshakes after seeing a few being made. Staff was friendly and checked in often , would be a 5 for the restaurant but 3 star rating on food alone. It was fairly busy but we got seats at the bar right away . Might be a longer wait for larger groups.

My wife ordered the noodles with sliced fish and chicken as it isn't too salty. Our little one liked the fish and noodles.

Little did I know it was a little food cart sitting under the staircase! It's a quaint little cart. I also heard about this restaurant through social media, which is why I came to try it. The food was very fresh and hot as it was cooked right in front of you. The vegetable pancake was very savoury and packed with several different veges and the glass noodles. The sweets were also very nice. The dough was nice and soft. The fillings were generous and not too sweet, which was great.

The spacious layout makes it an ideal spot to gather with family, catch up with friends, or even meet with coworkers for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and relaxed, yet still has a lively buzz that makes it feel welcoming and energetic. Their drink menu is full of unique and delicious options, and the display of sweet treats is hard to resist. The food is consistently flavorful, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. Every bite was enjoyable, but the standout for me was the croissant--perfectly buttery, incredibly flaky, and absolutely irresistible. I could have eaten another one without hesitation! It's easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. With great food, creative drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere, it's the kind of spot you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.

It was a bit too salty for me though, and I would have liked to see a bit more bacon. Iced Banana Velvet Matcha 12 oz -$6.85 Tasted exactly as the title says. Delicious Korean banana milk paired with a velvety cream topping, and a matcha aftertaste to finish. If you aren't a fan of banana flavoured things do not get this, as it tastes like 90% banana and 10% matcha.

I saw the food being served and it looked well presented and delicious. I inquired of the waitress serving the patio. I was honest with her, told her I just had breakfast at home and just wanted to look at the menu. She still ushered me into the restaurant, sat me at the bar and got me a menu to study. A few minutes later she served me a cold glass of water and spent a few minutes with me that I really appreciated. If I was still in business I would have offered Desiree a job on the spot. She was very efficient in her work and a genuine smile never left her face. In life you sometimes meet people that are good for the soul and that sums up my experience with Desiree. I will be back soon and will bring a few friends. I look forward to meeting more of the staff in visits to come.

Both were delicious except I ordered soft eggs and he ordered medium but they were both cooked the same.
