For just $16.99, the set came with a fluffy strawberry chiffon cake, ice cream with dacaron, and chocolate-dipped strawberries with pistachio, plus a drink of your choice. I went with the Iced Strawberry Matcha and it was light, refreshing, and perfectly paired with the sweets. I also tried their matcha mochi, which was soft and chewy, and their buttery shortbread cookies in matcha, pistachio, and earl grey flavors--each one had a rich, homemade taste. The Shanghai Fog was also super smooth and comforting. They also have locally sourced coffee beans for purchase. Everything was beautifully presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting while the Sakura menu is still available!

I won't spoil the beans for everyone that's looking to visit. Service: it gets quite busy at times. I wouldn't say the service is very prevalent, as they are focused on the art of roasting beans and optimizing taste buds, which was well received from this visit. Ambiance: it is very inviting, no one feels out of place, limited seating, nonetheless , it is not the worst, the set up of the taste flight really sets this establishment apart from other coffee maisons.

It's also connected with Fife bakery so there are plenty of delicious pastries to try as well! The barista there was very nice and took the time to casually chat with customers whenever there was a lull, and the general atmosphere felt very calming. The only concern is how small the place is. Although I managed to get a seat, the place was almost entirely full and felt a little crowded with just around 5-10 people. But the seats are cute and also feature hanging hooks for jackets and bags which I loved very much!! Makes everything so much more convenient. All in all, a very great cafe to sit and chat with a friend over a cup of coffee～

A beautiful cafe shop owned by a Taiwanese coffee connoisseur - Jason. This cafe used to be in…read moreContinental Square but then it closed (its successor I didn't like at all...found it very pretentious and the staff didnt' know anything I asked). Jason opened a cafe in Kerrisdale and re-opened in Richmond at this location. Location-wise, I think the cafe is quite out of the way. It's in the industrial area of Richmond. The cafe doesn't even look appealing from the outside. Do not be fooled! The interior is very nicely decorated. A lot of love and efforts put into it. There's also a roaster at the back of the cafe. Menu - I really loved how much effort was put into the menu. It tells you how to drink your syphon coffee, the detailed differences between each blend, what each espresso drinks consist of, etc. My brother spent quite a lot of time looking through the menus. Since the connoisseur was present on the day we went, we had to get the syphon coffee. Make sure you ask him for opinions and suggestions. I settled on the Mandheling because I love my coffee very aromatic and full-bodied, but very low acidity. The syphon coffees are pretty expensive but they were very tasty. You get your coffee in a fancy coffee cup, with a "shot" beside it for your companion to try. I would definitely come back here for syphon coffees only, and I'd call in advance to ensure that Jason is present. For the espresso-based beverages, I found the prices to be too high and I'd rather go elsewhere to get my latte. The main difference between this store and the Kerrisdale one is that the latter has much more food options.
