When I was visiting the city for work, my close friend wanted to take me here to taste their…read moredoughnuts. As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form. If you love simple yet high quality ingredients, this place is the perfect place to get your sweet cravings fixed!

These donuts are delicious. Nicely well-risen dough and very light, airy cream. We got a…read morestrawberry cream donut and I have no complaints. I could see some people balking at the $6 price, but I consider these a special treat. The location itself leaves something to be desired since it feels like it is under construction except for the pastry counter. No furniture and the floors look unfinished. Definitely not a place to hang out. Brendan's Rating: 3.0 Charlotte's Rating: 3.0 Shanying's Rating: 3.0 Winston's Rating: 4.0

As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I could tell the latte was brewed using high-quality coffee beans, and my matcha latte had premium matcha powder. The dessert display was a treat for the senses. The decor was on point and elegant. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. They even offered a water bowl for my pup, and the patio was heated. I am planning to come back and enjoy my drinks again tomorrow.

We can also choose dark or milk. I chose whole milk chocolate version. Filling is male ganache. It was very smooth, rich texture and sweetness was perfect.

After grabbing dinner with some friends, we wanted to grab dessert. I knew Nero Waffle was nearby,…read moreso I suggested it. I've only been to the original location on Robson years ago, so wasn't sure if the quality had stayed the same, but we thought it was worth trying. We ordered a Tiramisu and a Bresilienne to share between four people. It came out it in relatively short time. And wow, they were both even better than I remember. Their waffles are incredibly crisp and light, despite the amount of toppings on them. I don't know how they make them so they stay so resistant to going soggy. And despite the amount of whipped cream, ice cream and sauce on them, the waffle was always able to balance out the sweetness. Their waffles are just perfect balance of flavour and texture. Service was also quite impressive. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and brought share plates with out being asked. Overall, a great dessert. I don't know why I haven't returned earlier.

Here's my hot-take about Nero Waffles...the BRUSSELS square waffle are 100% must-try, whereas their…read moreLIÈGE circular waffles was a hard pass. My friend & I tried: -Smashed avocado BRUSSELS savoury waffle (4/5) really enjoyed the taste of the cheese infused crispy, airy, but melt-in-your-mouth waffle on its own. I wished there were 2 poached eggs rather than just the 1. I'd also rather the salad and avocado on the side instead. -Ham & Cheese LIÈGE stuffed waffle (3.5/5) the waffle itself wasn't too impressive, liked the stuffing though -Pistachio & Vanilla custard mini LIÈGE waffles (2.5/5) again, the waffle texture was unimpressive, dense & softer, not crispy. Vanilla custard was nice and you can see vanilla bean flecks. Pistachio flavour was ok Overall, I would come back just for their BRUSSELS waffle and during brunch time as they have the Benedict option!

I wish instead of cheesecake it was some mochi texture but it was still amazing with the chunks of cheesecake, mango and ice cream. The milk snow was soo tender.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
