I visited Nemesis Coquitlam to get some pastries…read more What I got: Pull apart - croissant dough filled with chives and cream cheese, Pesto mozzarella swirl -Pesto and mozzarella cheese, Ferrero rocher danish - Hazelnut praline, chocolate mousse, vanilla custard Pistachio loaf - pistachio ganache and raspberries. Pull apart was lighter than I expected. Other place's pull apart was so buttery, cheesy, however, this one was flaky and buttery, so, if you prefer light texture pull apart, you will like it. Cream cheese filling was nice accent. Pistachio loaf was more dense than I expected. It had pistachio whipped cream on top, so, cream helped loaf texture more smooth. Loaf had strong pistachio flavor. I liked whipped cream and loaf combination. Pesto and mozzalera swirl was a bit too salty for me. Dough was super flaky and buttery, I liked the dough texture so much, but filling could be more minder. Unfortunately, I did not have ferrero rocher danish. I heard that this one was the best. Mousse was so delicious and dough was very flaky and buttery. Overall, I think their pastries are always outstanding and good quality. The place was extremely busy and could not get a table. Next time, I wish I could dine-in.

It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon with only bar seating available initially, but not too long after some sofa space opened up. I was OBSESSED with the ube matcha, I learned from the super awesome barista that it's sweetened with mango puree. This was absolutely my favorite matcha I've had in a while now and my only disappointment is they don't offer larger sizes for it. The smoked salmon bun was pretty small for $10, I also didn't think the flavors were meshing well. Also found the pull apart stuffed cream cheese croissant a bit misleading. I pulled it apart and there was barely any filling unfortunately. Definitely a cute and inviting spot to grab a drink and stay a while. I wouldn't go for food food here though. Also I have yet to try, but maybe a dessert item here would be more worthwhile.

We were in the area, and we decided to give this Persian cafe a try. Inside, it felt like a lounge…read more There was music in the background and the place was dimly lit. We were seated right away. We ordered a pistachio latte, apple crisp macchiato and Turkish coffee. We asked for the first two drinks to go and Turkish coffee in house. Unfortunately, our barista made all the drinks to go. We did not get to enjoy the Turkish coffee in a nicer presentation. Also, we kind of expected a sugary treat to accompany the Turkish coffee and there was nothing. Maybe because I am used to other cafes just automatically offering a Turkish delight or something? There was a cup of water to wash down the bitter coffee. Overall, I think their food is probably a better option than their drinks. My pistachio latte was alright. I could taste a hint of the pistachio. Service was alright. We received our drinks fairly quickly.

We decided to try the Turkish coffee to go and it is a lot more bitter of a coffee than we were use to. I also think that Turkish coffee is meant more of something you have sitting down than grabbing to go. The goodies at the counter caught my eye and we ask picked up a pistachio treat which was delicious!

Ciel Coffee offers a welcoming atmosphere, with most customers being students working on laptops,…read morecreating a comfortable and productive vibe. The decaf coffee was just okay, and the hot chocolate was extremely sweet--maybe too sweet for some tastes. Both whip cream and oat milk are extras, so expect an upcharge. Overall, Ciel Coffee is a decent study spot with good ambience, but the drinks are middle of the road. Highlights - Atmosphere is casual and ideal for studying or working. Most patrons seem to be students on laptops. - Drink choices are standard; decaf coffee was average, hot chocolate very sweet. - Whip cream and oat milk cost extra. - Friendly staff and clean café. - Good for relaxing or meeting friends, less so for gourmet coffee lovers. If your main priority is finding a good place for work or study, Ciel Coffee delivers. If you're after exceptional drinks, it comes up a bit short.

I used to visit this cafe almost every week a few years ago. I loved their Dalgona latte which I…read morethought was the best in town. Since their management changed, the drink flavor was not the same as before, so, I stopped visiting. Recently I just found dubai chocolate cookie hello kitty version on instagram, so curious, and I revisited. I got dalgona cream latte and dubai cookie. I am so glad their drink flavor is back and just as great as before. Dalgona cream was so creamy and good when it mixed with milk. Dubai cookie 's kataifi filling was great. So crunchy with very bold chocolate flavor. It is called "cookie" however, to me, it felt more like Dubai chocolate mochi. Texture was so soft and chewy. It was great.
