I would've gladly paid in cash otherwise but I guess at Chinese places I should expect to pay cash. [Worth it?] Definitely worth coming back as the prices are reasonable and portion size is big.

We did a "make your own bowl", where you can choose your base and toppings. I got coconut milk, mango, sago, and mochi balls. The dessert is simple but had just the right sweetness, however, I feel like portion sizes could be bigger. Service is what you'd typically expect at a Chinese restaurant. The prices are reasonable and there's plenty of seating available as well. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area, however, there are better Chinese dessert places around.

I came across Sweet Together on social media and immediately bookmarked it. The presentation looked…read morestunning, and the reviews were promising, so I made the trek to Langham Square specifically to try it out, braving the chaotic parking situation along the way! We arrived as a table for two around 3:15 PM and were seated immediately, taking the third of six tables available at the time. The shop is small but clean, with traditional decor that I absolutely loved for the overall vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout our visit. They were always smiling, polite, and attentive. They also made sure to keep our complimentary tea cups filled, and the tea was delicious! I ordered the Grand Slam Bowl, which came with coconut milk, taro balls, sago, grass jelly, and mango. It also typically includes red beans, but I asked to have those omitted. Compared to other dessert spots I've tried, this was less sweet, which I really appreciated. The toppings were spot-on in terms of texture, making every bite enjoyable. It was so good that I ended up ordering takeout for my family! The Mango Double Skin Milk Pudding was just as good as I'd heard. It's one of their signature items, and rightfully so. The mango was wonderfully sweet, while the pudding itself was soft, smooth, and creamy. This is definitely something I'd order again. Lastly, I tried the Herbal Jelly with Osmanthus Syrup. It's adorable that they actually make it in a turtle-shaped mould. This one was a little more divisive for me. I would have preferred a stronger herbal jelly flavour, while the osmanthus syrup was quite pronounced, so much so that it overpowered the jelly. It was interesting to try, but of the three, this was my least favourite. Bonus: You can get 10% off when paying with cash! Overall, Sweet Together lived up to the hype for me. Between the delicious desserts, lovely presentation, and genuinely warm service, it was well worth the trip. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

It was a total matcha takeover at Honoka Cafe and it was every green tea lover's dream! I started with a classic Matcha Latte--super smooth and perfectly earthy. But the real stars were the treats.

To balance it all out, the Cloud Cake was so light and airy, it literally felt like eating a fluffy dream. This is definitely one of the best cupcakes I've had.

Second visit, we got the Onigiri combo set with 2 onigiris + cold brew/hot tea. The Yuzu Honey Soda was also nice and refreshing. The onigiris are chubs yummy :)

I have been coming to Sweet Culture for many years. It's my go to place for traditional Chinese…read moredesserts and savoury snacks. The place has an oriental feel with wooden tables and chairs. Nothing that is too comfortable but good for a quick snack or when craving something chinese and sweet. Big tables for a group or with a few friends. The service is fast and friendly. You will hear mostly the Chinese language around you so the experience is immersive like being back in Hong Kong culture. We had the traditional double skin steamed egg with milk. This was so comforting to eat and not too sweet. The black sesame paste soup is very smooth and yummy, it's my favourite dessert. We also had some snacks like steamed rice rolls with sweet soya sauce, peanut sauce and sesame sprinkles. Yummy! Finally our favourite dessert... Crispy milk fried and you can dip it in caster sugar. This place has reasonable prices and it is as traditional as it is Chinese. If you haven't tried Chinese desserts you are missing out. What you find at Sweet Culture is the traditional, authentic desserts and nothing fancy at a reasonable price. Just bring cash otherwise pay upcharge for credit card payment.

I looked at the menu and thought I was transported to the late 90's, and the other thing is the feel of this place, true Cantonese desserts, I saw the savoury snacks they had, but I only wanted sweets, and this place delivers. I had their black sesame tong yuen in ginger soup, and this, to say the least, a sweet way to end the night. Being in this OG place having Cantonese songs playing in the background, a few tables of people poking at their phones, some people coming in to pick up take out, and friendly staff which seems to know the returnee customers that come through the door. If you need a place where you want either Cantonese sweets, or savoury's, a place to just sit there and not be disturbed, or really a place to bring friends and chat, where you can actually hear eachother and have something good to eat, come here. I wish we had a place like this in Vancouver.

Have had many different mille crepe cakes from Xcakes. Matcha, Earl Grey, mango, Taro. My favourite is still the mango. So freshly made on the day you pickup and you can taste the quality and freshness as a result. It's not too sweet and feels light so I can happily enjoy the cake! They do custom designs or multi flavor cakes as well. They also have sponge cake cupcakes. Love Maggie, Jay, and their team!

I found this little gem completely by accident while rushing to grab a last-minute birthday cake…read moreand it turned out to be such a great discovery. Tucked inside Markham 朗豪坊, X Cafe is a takeout-only spot that keeps things simple but does them right. They have a solid selection of ready-made small cakes for quick pickups, and you can also pre-order custom cakes in your preferred flavors and sizes. Prices are very reasonable, especially given how fresh everything tastes. It's nothing over-the-top or flashy just genuinely satisfying when you're craving dessert. What impressed me most was how well-balanced the flavors were. Nothing overly sweet or heavy. I usually prefer sponge cakes over mousse, and theirs really delivered soft, airy, and perfectly moist with just the right hint of sweetness. A lovely go-to for cake lovers, and definitely a spot worth supporting if you appreciate thoughtfully made, no-fuss desserts from a local small business

Their egg waffles are always freshly made and its crispy, it's legit bomb! My kids love them and so do I. The owners are super nice and sweet. When they see my kids, they would offer them a little treat like candy or freezies. They offer a variety of drinks and desserts. Ice cream is offered in many different flavors. Original egg waffles are 2 for $5 which is the cheapest I've come across, no where else beats this price. I keep coming back here because of their great service and the prices are really good. If you're craving for some dessert or even a drink I would highly recommend this place. So far they are closed on Tuesdays and sometimes they are closed for a period of time due to vacations.

So I placed an order order for egg waffles took about 10ish minutes that's fair. I heard about this place for. IG however I don't see the hype. I do understand very hard working couple in the back very polite and kind. I ordered sesame bubble waffle and matcha wanted to try. Total should have been 9$ however they charged me $10 not a big deal their tip or tax or maybe they didn't have change in cash. Black Sesame one came out crispy, matcha flavor wise wasn't too memorable. My friend wanted to order ice cream the lychee and ube was out. Settled for mango. They took time to decorate the ice cream apparently made in house. 3.98$ plus tax for 1 scoop. Price was decent they had some other deals such as original bubble waffle 1 for $4 or 2 for 6$. Special drink items 1$. For cheap eats in the area it's good. Nothing overly memorable. Hard working family appreciate the hustle.

The strawberry one was really good actually, it was quite large and didn't expect it. Pricing is a little on the high side, that was over $10. I don't think I would come here again but if I do, I'll try other desserts for sure.

2026 Birthday Series -- Stop #1: Meet Fresh…read more I'm kicking off a series reviewing all the places I visited to redeem my birthday goodies in July 2026. Along with an overall rating, each spot gets scored on redeemability (how easy it is to claim) and actual value. Redeemability: 3/5 (requires app download and sign-up, kinda convoluted) Actual value: 2.5/5 (50% off a regular dessert) Though the birthday reward itself was pretty mid, Meet Fresh has been my family's favorite since the late 2000s in Taiwan -- especially my mom's. Honestly, I get it completely. A bowl of freshly shaved ice topped with condensed milk, brown sugar, taro tapioca balls, Japanese custard pudding, freshly cooked taro, red beans, and Job's tears etc -- it's an experience you just can't get from HK dessert shops or Korean bingsu spots. Overall 5/5 because it's a genuine family favorite we return to every month or two. It was a huge loss when the North York location closed permanently.

They're only open starting in the evenings and going until midnight. Small shop and you have to wait for them to prepare your dessert with a buzzer and they will call you when they finish. I would come back if I was in the area and craving dessert and a heartbeat.
