New hipsterish coffee shop on Renfrew, just N of 1st Avenue…read more Parking is available on the side streets. The place is actually quite wide but narrow. Seating is limited inside, but there are plenty of exterior seats and benches on the outside (W and N facing). The inside has a high ceilings with all the white ductwork visible. This venue also has quite a large bakery production area. Staff are friendly and professional. I must say I was skeptical as the place was vegan. Tried their flat white, as well as their Nanaimo bar. Both were absolutely delicious. I guess the only downside to the place is that it bakes in the afternoon sun because of all the large W facing windows. Talk about a pleasant surprise. I'd gladly come by again for more coffee and bakery goodness. Highly recommended.

I've been to this cute little café a few times before but on my recent visit, I finally got to sit…read moredown and enjoy some baked goods. This café features a fully vegan menu which is amazing for vegans and those who can't enjoy dairy comfortably! I was blown away by how the white chocolate strawberry croissant tasted nothing like it was short of eggs. The texture resembles an actual croissant and I would say the only difference lies in the flight drier/stiffer texture. There was a sweet filling inside that paired really well with the croissant, causing me to devour the whole thing in one sitting. Their drinks are standard and can served for here or to go. I love the ambiance and interior of the café. There is ample seating and space. I also love that they have a little section for kids with books and toys to keep them busy. Through the window, you can also see the baking facility that the café uses to prepare all their food. This is a wonderful spot to stop by in the neighbourhood and I'm glad my boyfriend lives close by so I can walk here on many occasions!

The interior is pretty neat. They have seats made out of parts of cars, and even the front counter is half of an old school SL. Lots of classic car parts on the walls. Staff are friendly and chatty. No problems there. The coffee selection is pretty decent. They also have cold (sweet) drinks. I had the V12 latte. They put a neat little teddy bear in the foam. Would've been cooler if they put a MB logo instead, but all good. The only complaint is that the car themed couches and regular couches are at different heights. So my friend and I were looking up and down at each other. Wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the car themed ambience and maybe try a pastry.

Quiet coffee shop randomly located in the middle of a residental neighbourhood…read more Parking is plentiful in the area. The venue is quite small. Maybe 10 seats at most. There is also a E facing table and patio umbrella outside, but it wasn't set up during this rainy season. The room is quite stuffy (lack of ventilation), so they had the door propped open. This place is quite cramped. Staff are friendly. I think they're Korean. Coffee here is pretty decent. No complaints. Didn't try the food. Place might be worth coming by alone or maybe in a group of 2 at most. Otherwise I would highly recommend takeout.

It was kind of chilly inside because they had the door propped open despite it being cold out, but I can imagine it might have been stuffy for the staff in the kitchen area. The barista was very nice! I got the Sooyo croissant, an egg tart, and a milk tea. I loved the Sooyo croissant - I'm weak to the brie/fig combo and this had just the right balance of all the ingredients on a warm and soft croissant. The egg tart was also really nice with a hint of cinnamon. It was bite-sized which was good for a small treat. I also loved the milk tea. It was very strong, and the brown sugar syrup enhanced the flavour! It was worth the trip for me for a relaxing snack stop!

Both their matcha latte and cappuccino were yum! Service was good; the lovely guy at the front counter helped us figure out what to order; that was appreciated. The place was buzzing with chatter and happiness. So cool!

I have been this cafe for many times, and recently dropped by to get some baking goods. What I got - Hazelnut supreme croissant and cheesy bite(cheese pull apart). Hazelnut supreme's hazelnut cream was sweet, so good. Dough could have been a bit more crispy outside. Some parts of croissant was a bit soggy. Cheese bite(pull apart) was the best pull apart I have ever had. Size was large, decent price and cheese flavor was strong. Dough was crispy outside and inside was so soft and buttery. So delicious! Highly recommend this item! Overall, I always love this cafe. I will visit here to get new item next time.

I was glad to visit on a Sunday morning while taking a walk with my boyfriend in his neighbourhood. When we arrived, it was quite busy. The coffee shop is small, but charming with limited seating available. The menu mainly contains basic coffee shop items as well as a variety of baked goods. We ordered an iced specialty coffee with ice cream and a small latte. I also chose the Tiramisu danish and we nibbled on it while waiting for our coffee. The danish was suggested by the cashier as one of the more popular items. She was completely right, because this baked treat was heavenly. The outside was like a croissant, flakey and buttery and paired with a delicious tiramisu custard on the inside. We also grabbed a scone for our walk home (which turned out to be delicious as well). The shop also sells local artisanal goods such as chocolate, sauces, and even loaves of bread. It's nice to gander around while waiting for your order. We enjoyed our coffee on the walk back home. The coffee is quite strong, which would be optimal for most coffee lovers. The flavour was deep and chocolate-y, but not bitter at all. I read on their site that they regularly rotate their bean selection. I would love to return to try more of their food items!

Hojicha cream form was very creamy and good, but, flavor was very weak. Strawberry puree was fine, Strawberry puree and cream form dominate this drink. I wish hojicha flavor could be more stronger. Matcha strawberry milk was ok, too. matcha flavor was not too strong, strawberry drink part was good. Cream form was very creamy and good. All items prices were on higher side. Next time, I might try at Richmond locataion.

There's a wide variety of cakes and drinks, so it's easy to find something whether you're into classic flavours or more adventurous options. We tried several cakes, double-layer cheesecake, dark chocolate crepe, durian crepe, gelato, matcha with cheese foam, and tea. Honestly, we couldn't pick a favourite--everything was delicious. Even the durian crepe, which surprised us in the best way. It was creamy, well-balanced, and not overpowering. Overall, the cakes stood out, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted. If you're looking for a café with great ambiance and consistently good desserts, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend their cake selections.
