I usually go to coffee shops to hangout and do some work or read online, while having coffee. I just realized this place has limited wifi, about 15 mins. Odd because it is standard everywhere now. Even laundromat's have wifi. I guess come here if ur just looking to have coffee quickly. Its not one of those places where one can finish something for work, study, or do a virtual meeting. As people stay longer people order throughout their stay, at least thats what I do. Disappointed about this aspect as I now have to drive further to my usual coffee shop.

Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

I dropped by here for a Peppermint Hot Chocolate back in December. They had some gorgeous looking…read moredesserts in their display case. Larger versions were available to for the Holiday season. My Peppermint Hot Chocolate was decent. Nothing to write home about. I think it could have been hotter. I've tried some desserts from this place before. I have a feeling if I'd ordered a dessert to go with my hot chocolate, I would have probably been more impressed with the dessert than the hot chocolate. For what they were offering, and compared with other fancy desserts in other places, I think the prices were pretty average. Average these days though tends to be on the pricey side I think, no matter where you go. I didn't feel like splurging on this particular night. Giving this place an "OK" rating since my hot chocolate was really just OK. If you're looking to splurge a bit though, based on my past experience...I'd recommend trying the desserts.

The mains being served smelled quite good in the air, but since I had a big lunch, I just ordered a ginger turmeric tea and a gluten-free tiramisu brownie. There weren't too many GF options but I did enjoy that brownie! My order for those two items totaled to a little less than $14. I found that pricey, especially since my drink was only a 12oz hot tea My take--I probably won't re-order my last order, but I'd like to come by again to try a main menu item and their coffee! :)

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.

The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.

We were in need of something sweet after our shopping trips. We found Babatang on Yelp (Of course~…read moreDuh~ ). All the reviews were positive, but they were written by only three Yelpers. We took a leap of faith in those Yelpers and headed our way to Babatang. Appeared tiny from the outside and was difficult to locate at first glance. Inside had an outdated decor but was way spacious than our assumption. An older gentleman who appeared to be the shop owner made all the drinks and desserts, while a lady who might be his wife was sitting on a big sofa behind the counter, watching him. We found it cute and funny. It took about 5 minutes or more to make each item. But nothing mentioned above mattered when every single food and drink made us sing nom nom nom~ Coconut drinks had a rich coconut taste, and wheelcakes were perfect to hold in hands and then in tummy on a cold, crisp winter day. We even ordered extra wheelcakes to go because its creamy golden custard, egged in steamy hot sponge cake, was so addictive. Don't let Babatang's looks fool you. It can surprise you with amazing flavour-bomb foods if you walk into the cafe with an open mind and appetite for discovery!
