I have gone here a few times years apart since visiting and I have always enjoyed this cafe. I have…read moregotten a matcha here in the past that was okay, but their fall drinks currently look so good. This time around I tried something they offer by reservation called afternoon tea for $40. We each got to pick a tea for our tea pot and had about 8 options. The tea itself wasn't anything special. We tried the chai and the alforno blend which both didn't taste very strong. The afternoon tea deal also came with a snack tower, the bottom consisting of savory sandwich bites, and the top two levels with pastries and sweets. The things that stood out to me were the lemon meringue, fruit tart, and the carrot cake (the cream cheese frosting was really tasty). Overall, this was a super cute and fun thing to try. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to try little bites of various things they carry.

Lemon tart - tart was good, nice crunch to it, lemon was tangy and sweet - just the right combinations of flavours. So why just three stars - well the drink was a let down for me, matcha was not coming through - ended up tasting more like a cup of sweetened oat milk. I'd come back to explore there other pastries, or try there brunch - but that would need to wait until I visit Calgary again.

All completely serviceable. But then...a night like the first time trying YYC Pasta Bar Kensington comes along and ZOWEE! A cake so soft and pure. Harkening back to times you were at your friends house and her Mom made that cake. You know the one from the recipe in the newspaper or handed down from Nana? And you licked the plate? THIS is that cake. A simple but pillowy chocolate cake with rich glazed icing. It took less than a week for us to order again. Ditto for the lobster ravioli. What I haven't mentioned is that the prices are incredibly reasonable. The caprese was much tastier than several I've had at "higher end" establishments recently. The arancini and Caesar salad were nice, just could use a bit of zip. Both the gnocchi with rosé sauce and truffle spaghetti bolognase "build your own pasta" dishes were lip-smackingly good. Kudos to the kitchen! We look forward to eating in as well.

Unfortunately they didn't have these on the menu. Instead I purchased a chocolate brownie. It was rich and especially gooey (as opposed to cakey). Lots of chocolate chips too but no icing. I prefer my brownie with a slightly crisp top, and somewhat cakey middle. The texture was too much on the side of uncooked dough in my opinion. Not to mention the $5.50 price for such a small portion left me wondering and wanting more. The store was very cute and definitely a good space to enjoy a coffee or treat from their menu. The cheesecake offerings looked scrumptious. The young lady behind the counter was very welcoming. I did not see wheelchair accessibility.

Calgary branch of a Japanese souffle pancake chain, located in busy Kensington. Street parking is…read morepossible but at the whim of the traffic gods. There's plenty of seating inside including tables and counter-height stools, and this dessert is one that is best enjoyed sitting down. While your eyes peruse the menu in all of it's flashy, colorful glory, your ears have the pleasure of being entertained by K-pop and other pop hits. The staff working the register were friendly and efficient and can provide recommendations on the different textures and varieties of desserts offered. Our order was ready pretty quickly, which we had to pick up along with utensils from the register. The presentation of the Souffle Pancake is top notch, while the Earl Grey Cheesecake looked a little demure especially for how pricey the single slice was. Both desserts were light and fluffy (what "fuwa" actually means in Japanese), with everyone enjoying the signature souffle best. Though the earl grey flavor stands out in the cheesecake, the texture was more rubbery. These treats aren't cheap so I wouldn't find myself returning often, but would certainly reward myself (or a friend) by trying some of the different flavors in the future.
