Cute little cafe we found while waiting for dimsum table. Ordered 2 drinks, cups are bigger than your normal coffee cup. Saw lots of people getting brunch, would definitely come back to try.

2/14/26 Tiramisu latte, get it less sweet for a more stronger espresso taste

The space itself is bight, lots of tables and clean. Customer service was satisfactory. We didn't wait long from the time we ordered till we received our food. Everything we ate and drank was delicious! We would return here when visiting the area.

A cute and clean cafe that goes deeper than just appearance! The quality of all our food and drink were 10/10, the only thing holding it back was the price. It is quite a busy spot with people ordering drinks/bakery items for takeout and others dining in. The atmosphere is cute to try for a nice brunch! Just note that parking is difficult in the area and most of it seems to be paid. I loved the Montblanc latte. They use a good amount of chestnut inside so there's a balance of chestnut and coffee flavour. My favourite dish was the tom yum pasta. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, pasta all dente, and the sauce was a bit tangy/tomatoey. The salmon avocado croissant was alright and not quite special.

Coffees , latte , iced tiramisu latte

Really cute cafe !! It was my first time coming in here , we ordered two lattes and one iced tiramisu latte (with oat milk). They were amazing coffee and super smooth even the one with oat. Tiramisu one came with just the right amount of sweetness. I had the Karaage burger and it came super hot , chicken was really crisp and fries were cooked just right. The baked items looks really cute and I will be back to try some of them.

The food was amazing! We tried the Chestnut & Porcini Spaghettini and Luxe Lobster Benny. My partner loves chestnut and described this dish as something you would find eating in Lord of the Rings. It was fresh and had very earthy flavours - we loved it! The Luxe Lobster Benny did not disappoint! Everything was cooked perfectly and we loved the crunchiness of the hidden prawns! It would have been nice if it had more sauce though. My partner very much enjoyed the Uji Matcha Espresso and could tell both ingredients (matcha and coffee) was high quality. The interior was very beautiful, modern, warm and welcoming. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We'll be coming back here in the near future for sure and would recommend!

Came here for my birthday brunch! The food here is so aesthetic and delicious! The staff were all very polite and I thought the menu was reasonably priced as well. It would be nice if there were free parking. Great cafe spot that I would like to come back to!

I visited this cafe a few times to get drink and baking goods. They offer variety of fancy croissants, muffins, cookies and drinks. This time, I got Matcha Tiramisu latte to go. The cream matcha form on the top was so delicious! Texture was perfect, creamy, not too light, not overly sweet, and matcha drink part had a strong flavor, very delicious, too. I saw many fancy looking croissants in display case. I will definitely want to try one of those. Very nice ambience and friendly service

It's very nice to see more of these brunch places in Richmond, especially in such a central location. The street parking by Cafe & Life Co is quite expensive though :( We visited on a Thursday morning so we didn't make a reservation, but they were decently busy the whole time we were there. It's nice that they do take reservations unlike many other brunch restaurants. The interior is so pretty!! And the seating is very very comfortable. Overall, I liked everything about the interior design. That's probably my favourite part of this place. Everything feels very high end. There's quite a lot of food options too, especially considering their extensive collection of croissant sandwiches. There's so many different kinds that I want to try in the future. I ordered the tuna benny which I've never seen before anywhere else. It was very good and I especially loved their potatoes! They also have a great selection of drink options. They have a ton of different tea mistos, even pu'er (which I didn't get to try because they were out). The staff were nice too. We were there for almost 2 hours and never felt rushed at all even though they were very on top of clearing our table as we finished items. Definitely a great spot in Richmond!!

If you're looking for a cafe, check this newly opened cafe/brunch spot in Richmond. The drinks are amazing and they also have a variety of pastries but I didn't try them so I can't comment on the taste. Their brunch offering unfortunately is not up to par considering the price. We had the $28 lobster benny and the $26 beef braised soup, they weren't bad but not great and the portion is also on the smaller side. The staff is very friendly but no one checked on us once the food was served. I'm also not sure if they're going for a minimalist approach, no napkins, no water, no condiments on the table and no one offered or asked if we needed those.

It was delicious, spot was super cozy. Make sure to come in a little earlier or else a lot of items will be sold out. On the pricier side but the service was great and accommodating.

This place has been around for many years but I've only now gotten around to trying it…read more It's a cute little place. 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.

it is the start of my month and my foodie group is LONG overdue for a meetup - i was away for HK…read morefor 6wks hence... we decided to do brunch instead of our reg dinner outing and chose this location of breakfast table so that we could explore steveston/richmond a little bit. parking wasn't too hard to find, and adding ourselves onto the waiting list was easy as well! the restaurant gave off a trendy café vibe - it was buzzing when we went and it was a great sight to see as ik the food industry has been struggling a bit. we were waiting for our table when a server came and asked if we were on the waitlist or not; we indeed were and our table was ready in about 5-10min later. it was a little early for us so s and i both got coffee - she got drip (with free refills!) and i got my usual latte. a got the yuzu maple tea. my latte got me my caffeine fix so im not complaining. food menu is straight forward - i had smoked steelhead lox croissant toast. i loved how toasted the croissant was, and how it stayed intact underneath the lox, cream cheese etc. i enjoyed the tang in the salad's vinaigrette - it helped to balance out the heaviness of the cream cheese. s wasn't able to finish her plate, which was the hangover breakfast. we had also shared the dirty fries - the mayo had a nice kick to it! there were other cute cafés in the area that we saw as we did a stroll after the carb coma - will try and come back if we happen to be in the area!

Unfortunately it wasn't executed well. Pork was under marinated, there was no tamarind taste, nor a hint of chili on it. What could have been a very tasty Thai dish turned out to be mediocre and disappointing. Presentation was nice and appealing though. Server is very nice and friendly. Ambiance is appealing. Nice to be on a sunny morning. Glass panels lets in bright sunshine making it a perfect brunch spot.
