    Conveniently located next to Renfrew Station, this Korean cafe is cute and aesthetically pleasing. Their baristas are polite and welcoming. The iced honey Biscoff latte is a must try and my friend really liked the matcha cream latte. I keep hearing how delicious their salt bread is, will need to try it next time.

    Quiet on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Parking is almost impossible here because of the Chinese restaurant in the plaza, so I parked a few blocks away. It was very quiet and there was tons of seats available but not many outlets at the table booth seating along the wall. So if you're here to do some work or to study, you'll have to pick one of the round tables by the window. I had an iced matcha latte which was pretty good and I had to wait about half an hour for salt bread to be fresh out of the oven. It was steaming hot. Very buttery and delicious! The staff was very nice.

    It is really nice to finally have a coffee and pastry place in this area, it seemed like it was definitely needed, as the only thing you could get around here are fast food options for coffee and pastries. It is in a plaza that really doesn't have a lot of parking, that is noted by other reviewers as this plaza also caters a pretty big Chinese restaurant, and if you are here during prime time lunch hours, good luck, but lucky for you there is street parking, you may have to walk a bit. Coming in, you can see that they spent some good money to make this place aesthetically pleasing, you need to come and see how bright this place is, and how good this place looks compared to the outside. There is enough seating in here and a very comfortable place to bring a laptop, do minor work, or if you are like me, come with friends, chat and just drink the java. The lady working the front was very nice, and I enjoyed my time here where I can see myself coming often, cause it is not far from my home. There had a sample of this chewy cookie that reminded me of a rice crispy square, it was really good that my friend almost bought one after leaving, except the lineup got a little long and we had to go. A welcome addition to the neighbourhood, and looking for more coffee time soon.

    Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed by the food and drinks at Cafe Episode. We got an einspänner and two desserts. The drink was a bit too watered down for my liking and I wished the desserts had more flavour as I felt the cream was too dominant. I did find that the cafe had lots of space to work, and another bonus is that it is open late which can be rare.

    Located across the street from the McDonalds by Renfrew station - this is a little Korean Cafe gem. Small parking plaza available - but spots are quite limited / however plenty of scattered street parking. This place is also super transit friendly being a very short walk from Renfrew Skytrain. Cafe is very bright and tables are spaced out nicely - cleanliness seems important as everything looked clean and well maintained, as well as there restroom. Service was fast and cashier was attentive and able to answer questions - Milk alternatives are available - Wasn't able to try any of there treats, but they do have plenty of cakes, macaroons and other baked treats. Had a iced caramel macchiato made with oat milk - the blend of flavors meshed super nicely without losing the espresso flavor - I'm interested on what brand/blend they use for there espresso, as it was very good. Grapefruit -ade was also super delicious. Will definitely be back to explore there menu further , and hopefully try a treat -

    Quaint Korean coffee shop. Parking is available but very limited in the strip mall. Plenty of street parking a few blocks away. The place is nice and bright. Looks decent but not super modern. Somewhat decent amount of seating. Coffee was decent. Chocolate croissant was pretty decent too. Not too sweet, which is nice. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point.

    Needing a new cafe to yap w/ your girlies? Introducing Vancouver's latest gem @cafepisode This cozy & spacious spot is perfect for a rainy afternoon catchup, offering a plethora of Korean inspired drinks, desserts, and pastries. The interior is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly kind. It's right off of Renfrew skytrain station so it's accessible! There's also an abundance of parking spots in their lot. I enjoyed their drinks & sweets but I wish there were a bigger selection of savoury items. The one savoury item we got was the salted bread (which is what Korea is known for), but I didn't find it anything too special. However, their sweet potato cake captured my heart this time and it's not found in many other cafes and not too sweet. I would visit again !! Located at: 2891 Grandview Highway, Vancouver BC,V5M 2E1

    Really nice cafe by Renfrew station. Parking in the parking lot and on the streets available. I got the biscoff latte and really enjoyed it. The iced matcha was very tasty as well. Good amount of seating!

    The Biscoff Latte

    Service was amazing and food is also amazing Got the sweet potato cake and it's not too sweet it's the perfect amount of sweet with a nice rich creamy texture. Absolutely love and recommend this cake if u aren't a fan of things that are too sweet The chocolate cookie is sure to soothe that sweet tooth! Very tasty! The coffee is also so amazing! I got the honey Biscoff Latte. It was super good and the brown sugar added the perfect amount of sweetener. The EINSPENNER is perfect for those who don't like sweet coffee drinks. The ambiance is a nice modern feel and super clean!

    I discovered this café through Instagram. This newly opened spot is located near Renfrew Station, making it very convenient. The café's interior is bright and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a variety of baked goods and cakes, and the croissants topped with whipped cream and fruits look especially great! I got a salt bread, which is one of my favorites and something I've tried at many other places, along with a matcha latte. The salt bread had a very soft and chewy dough, with the salt flavor being just right. The matcha latte was incredibly creamy, and the sugar level was perfect. On my next visit, I definitely want to try the cakes and other baked goods. This café is sure to become one of my regular go-to places!

    Amazing hidden gem of a spot near Renfrew station! So many pastries, cakes and drinks to choose from! I tried out the sweet potato latte and it was the perfect blend of earthiness and sweetness in a cold day!

    So happy to have a local coffee shop in the Renfrew area! This is a Korean cafe, and I was really looking forward to try their various selection of delectable pastries. On a late Thursday morning at 11am, they did not have too many pastries left, just their cakes. Did manage to snag 2 of their chocolate croissants that were still on the rack cooling. Would love to go back to try their potato bread and drinks. Parking is very limited, might have to park on the street on Grandview.

    Their coffee was great. The salt bread was very soft. I wish they had more savoury pastries to choose from!

    L'OTUS Cake Boutique in Metrotown is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy dessert…read more The space itself is bright, spacious, and aesthetically pleasing, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a quiet cake-and-tea moment. 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.

It was not overly sweet, presentation was beautifual, however, raspberry mousse was partially frozen, a bit watery, and flavor was very weak. Hojicha milk was just ok. 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.

It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

It's always busy but today it looked quiet at random so stumbled in. So glad i finally decided to. Cozy cute cafe where you can study and bring your labtop/ introvert friendly or quick catchup with the girls / cute coffee date etc ... The cafe is currently participating in the hot chocolate festival too but i ordered a matcha latte along with a cruffin apple cheesecake and ooo it was so delicious and bouncy airy. The center had fresh bits of apple and there was a creamy cream cheese filling and you get this texture that's a combo of crossiant and muffin .. if you love apple or even caramel etc i think it would really suit your pallette. I will order some pastries to go next time when i have more time. Staff is super friendly and patient. They handled the loads of questions i had. Super clean place too. Free parking upfront and there's parking downstairs too.

I found they offer soccer themed cake which was very cute.

    Over the past year and a bit this has become one of our favourite breakfast places. But it is more…read morethan just a place for breakfast or brunch. It is also a fantastic spot to work if you wanna have a café setting because their pastries and bake goods are absolutely fantastic. In fact last year for Christmas, we bought one of their Christmas cake options which proved to be super popular with the family. What I love about this location is the decor. On one side it is a simple industrial warehouse. But it has that post modern feel with all of the live plants. The live plants is what I love and the tall ceiling for the plants to fully grow. Though if they are looking for something else, which could really bring this to the top, it would be to have a fish tank. A fish and or water feature around the massive plant island in the middle of the dinning area would be chefs kiss. Of course, what about the food? From here, I find the food here is excellent. Sometimes the flavour combinations are a little weird. But that's typical for the Vancouver foodie scene. Vancouver food scene is a fusion hybrid of local ingredients mixed with traditions from cultures from other places around the world. But the bottom line is the portions are a good size. The platters in particular are large and would feed a very hungry person. You definitely get your moneys worth. You don't get much table service once you are done with your order. But that is all right because of it size and volume for the amount of people who come through. I am totally happy with the self serve station, which could be enhanced and the large setting with all of the very mature plants. If I would offer advice to anyone it would be this. If you are going to be there on the weekend arrive before 9 AM. People start lining up at 10 to 15 minutes before the store officially opens. Plus I find is easier to take the street parking rather than playing with Faith trying to back out with customers who are not paying attention.

I did get a spoonful of the glorious whipped cream on top of my daughter's mango croissant. $8.50 Heaven. We thought it was worth every penny! The only gluten free item they offered on this day was a chocolate walnut brownie. Rich and pretty satisfying! We didn't mind a bit waiting for our specialty lattes but the flavors were underwhelming. Snow Velvet Latte $6.20 Double shot espresso, regular milk, vanilla syrup, velvet cream, cocoa dusting. My iced 16 ozs dark chocolate mocha was also not a memorable one. In spite of the unsatisfying lattes and lack of GF items, I'm still fond of the energy that fills in this cafe so I'll probably return.
