Despite going in the late afternoon early evening ... there still was a variety of goodies to choose from. It just so happens to be the holidays so the christmas decor was up. The prices at this place was pretty reasonable. The regular size and large size doesn't have much of a price difference so next time i'll opt for large size. I randomly decided to try a beef and mushroom grilled cheese sandwich, thought i'd venture out of my norms and hmm i'm glad i did. I'd rate it 8.2/10! The barista was super sweet and made me the cutest latte art upon my request. She was super patient with going over the menu options even though it was literally right in front of my face. Patience goes along way!! Going to try a cookie next time

Dropped by several times in one week so kinda squishing stuff from all those visits into this one…read morepost. Let's start with the Kashimiri Chai. I'd tried all the other chais here and Kashmiri was the one Chai I hadn't yet tried, so I came in one morning and had a Kashimiri Chai. Always impressed with the chai at You n Me Cafe and this one was no exception to the rule. Soooo good and after I had finished drinking I noticed bits of stuff sticking to my cup. I think these were threads of saffron and that's surely a sigh that this was a premium quality cup of chai! Next up, the Rose Cream Soda. This is one of Amrin's Dirty Soda creations and it's a goodie. Sprite mixed with a rose syrup and some cream. Pretty and yummy all at once. I had this on a Tuesday evening when I came in for Live Music and Open Mic. The singer takes requests so I made a few requests and sang a good many songs together with him. It basically turned into a bit of an impromptu karaoke party. Amrin was testing out a new food creation this week, which was a chicken pita wrap. I don't eat meat so she put together a tofu version for me to try and I had a Matcha Latte to go with it. Both were super yummy! I loved how fresh and crisp the veggies in the wrap were, and with the sauces and melted cheese...Oh, and she presses it in some kind of grill or panini press which makes the pita bread very crispy. This wrap was next level. She really put a lot of thought into which fillings would stay crisp inside the wrap and which might turn soggy. Next visit I had a Taro Latte and a Veg Cheese Melt sandwich. Again, super yummy. I'd say this one felt more like a comfort food item than the wrap. Both are awesome in their own ways. Came for her Grand Opening weekend. 14 months late but better late than never, right? What a Grand Opening. There was $1 chai, a live music band, a booth set up where you could get custom made fridge magnets created on the spot, ribbon cutting ceremony and cake cutting ceremony. She wasn't taking orders during the Grand Opening event but as soon as it ended she started taking orders again. I had seen her create an avocado version of my tofu wrap for another customer couple of days earlier so I ordered this avocado version of the wrap for my daughter and I to share. Mmmmm...sooo good! I mean, I still love the tofu version but the avocado version was even better! I see she's updated her menu online now and the wrap is now an official item. It's called The Humanity Pita Wrap and comes in Chicken, Veg Patty or Avocado version. Highly recommend the Avocado Humanity Pita Wrap!

Really awesome concept by a really awesome owner…read more I was able to come visit for the first time at Yelp event and I was really touched by what this cafe stands for. Vancouver is known for a place that is hard to make friends and often people feel lonely. I hope this cafe can really help a lot of people. I ordered a strawberry matcha and was pleasantly surprised that there was a lot of puree at the bottom. The owner asked me to give her my honest review about it. I love that she really cares about putting quality items out. At the moment, the sweetness of the puree and the sweetness of the matcha is overpowering. If we can bring the bitterness of the matcha back out, that would be perfect. I'm also hoping this part of New West gets more love. I noticed plenty of restaurants on this strip.

A visit to the Crystal Mall food court isn't complete without stopping by Paradise Juice. In my…read moreopinion, this is one of the must-try stalls here, and I've tried most of the vendors in the food court. I usually hit at least four different food stalls every time I visit and always end the meal with something from Paradise Juice. Everything is very affordable. Cash only. The menu has tons of options and is highly customizable, which makes it hard to choose every time. They prepare the drinks right in front of you using real fruits. Everything I've ordered so far has tasted fresh, natural, and delicious. My only complaint is that their business hours are inconsistent. They opened late most of the times I was there, while the rest of the food court opened on time. On my most recent visit, they were almost two hours late and I almost missed them.

Got my daughter a Watermelon Yakult drink with coconut jelly in it and a Watermelon slush drink with coconut jelly in it. Didn't get around to trying my daughter's drink. I enjoyed the Watermelon Slush, but I think I actually liked the Watermelon Mango Slush I had previously better than plain Watermelon Slush. Seems like the Watermelon drinks are going to be a limited time offer but I kinda wish they'd keep them around permanently!

Many interesting drink choices here. The prices do seem quite high when scanning through the menu…read more 'cause I'm adventurous I decided to give the pine tea with cheese foam and meatfloss. Yes, meatfloss! I thought this would be for the gram kinda drink 'cause I've had pine stuff at starbucks and elsewhere remembered (after I put in my order) that I hated it. Oh wells.... The tea turned out to be quite light and didn't have that strong pine smell/taste. The meatfloss on top didn't really do much in the first few sips and was just an addition of savoury to the palette. At some point in my journey away from the shop the cream, the meatfloss and all got mixed and it started to taste a bit odd. So tip: do NOT mix. Just sip at 45 degree angle. Other drinks/toppings I wanna try on my next visit: Creme brulee milk tea Peach milkshake/milktea Yakult boba

Literally went in for the dog. The whole store is named after the dog and even the store logo is the doggo! They have these cute little polaroids of him around the store. I didn't actually get to try their soda but they have some pretty good teas. Unfortunately, they didnt offer it hot as the milk was refrigerated. The drink was also a little too sweet. BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE DOGGO! The staff there was also super friendly (and also speak Mandarin). They told us that little doggo was actually getting old now but still full of energy and loving the petting. This place has officially become my #1 favourite cafe, and to think I only stumbled upon it because Sugar Lab was closed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (unless you don't like dogs.....)

I used to visit this cafe almost every week a few years ago. I loved their Dalgona latte which I…read morethought was the best in town. Since their management changed, the drink flavor was not the same as before, so, I stopped visiting. Recently I just found dubai chocolate cookie hello kitty version on instagram, so curious, and I revisited. I got dalgona cream latte and dubai cookie. I am so glad their drink flavor is back and just as great as before. Dalgona cream was so creamy and good when it mixed with milk. Dubai cookie 's kataifi filling was great. So crunchy with very bold chocolate flavor. It is called "cookie" however, to me, it felt more like Dubai chocolate mochi. Texture was so soft and chewy. It was great. Overall, I am happy I revisited. Next time, I will try different item I had never tried.

This place closed down for awhile and then reopened. This was our first visit back since they…read morereopened. Gotta be honest, it's not as good as it used to be. The menu has shrunk considerably and their business days/hours are also a lot less than what it was previously. The drinks were not as tasty as they used to be. My Blue Rose drink was the best of the bunch and I would say even that was just OK. I enjoyed the Lychee jelly in my drink. That was probably the best part of the drink. The liquid part was kinda "meh" for me. I think the best thing we ordered was the matcha soft serve ice cream. On the flip side, there was a guy playing piano there and they were taking requests. I suggested Demon Slayer and the guy played the famous "Gurenge" song by Lisa from season one of Demon Slayer. That was kinda cool. He was a very good pianist. Great way to liven the atmosphere. Also, there was a guy who came around and gave us all tiny paper cranes. It's nothing much, but still always nice to be gifted with anything at all. Business must be hard for them. It would sure be nice to see them return to how they used to be, with a bigger menu, tastier drinks and more days/hours again. We love this place for the manga/ anime vibes that it exudes, and love the Matcha soft serve ice cream they sell here. Really wanna give this place a higher rating but the drinks were really not up to par this time, and as much as we love the Matcha ice cream, it is not by itself enough to warrant giving out a higher rating. If they could just improve the quality of their drinks again...then even if they menu remains limited, at least if everything they serve is of good quality...that would be enough to merit a higher rating.
