L'OTUS Cake Boutique in Metrotown is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy dessert. 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.
I found the cutest dessert for Father's Day ! The Mini Mille Crepe Bento Box comes with 9 assorted flavors, making it the sweetest centerpiece for a cozy summer picnic
Rum raisin crepe cake is out of the world. One of the best I have ever had so far. And it's not too sweet ( my highest compliment) the texture is so amazing. My mom had the durian crepe cake, and she absolutely loved every single spoonful. Will be back to try more flavors. Got it to go so didn't dine in. Nice atmosphere tho!
The good: very pretty and delicious crepe cake .. even the box was luxe looking so it elevated the esthetics... the creme brûlée flavor came through well.. there was real vanilla bean flecks throughout the cake layers. The bad: we ordered the cake for 5PM and ate it at 8PM but it was still kinda frozen in the center.. and, of course, the price is quite high...
This is the BEST place for matcha gelato and desserts. Staff is always friendly and accommodating and they change their offering very frequently- so come back often to see the new desserts. For example, check out the new bayberry crepe cake. Just perfect sweetness and fresh fruit.
Everything was great, but a little bit pricy I tried two different type mille crepes l liked creme brulee. Interior was also pretty.
Late night dessert cravings led me here, and let me tell you, it was worth it. These crepe cakes are officially my new obsession. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't even notice that the table we sat down at was unstable but they did and they came and moved us to one of the reserved booths. They're open 1-8pm on weekdays and 1-10:30pm on weekends Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Parking 4/5 (we went around 8pm)
Nice spacious place for dessert here. It has crepe cakes, roll cakes, ice cream and tea or coffee. It is Asian style with a heavy emphasis on matcha drinks. We shared the mango crepe cake (there's durian too!) and it was nice. Fluffy thin crepe layers with fresh mango. I liked my iced matcha drink. Refreshing on hot days. It opens at 1 pm so it is perfect for after lunch or tea time and later.
Stopped by here for dessert after a good night of chowing down. My foodie friends were quite complimentary of L'otus enough to have us come from PoCo to the Metrotown area. I definitely figured out afterwards that it was worth the effort. There is a fair amount of space for people to come in and take their time with drinks or desserts. The variety of ice creams and cakes were solid. I ended up choosing the Creme Brulee cake. I was super fascinated by the amount of layers. It very much lived up to my expectations as it was quite tasty. I had to pace myself a bit to make sure I didn't just devour it in a minute. I could have gone for another slice with how much i enjoyed it. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at L'otus. I have to come back at some point for another slice of the Creme Brulee, or maybe reluctantly try something else.
Missus rates this a 4.4/5. Her quotes: flavour is good. Machine might make the ice cream, but it was an enjoyable experience. Verdict: seating might be a pain and it is slightly overpriced, but it is definitely worth a visit! The Mille feuille cakes are a bit too thick - so you taste more "crepe" than the actual supposed flavour. Seating is somewhat of an issue (there's not much of it - maybe only 3-4 tables seat 4, but the rest seat 2 - not great for large parties), but someone left as we began looking for a table.
Beautiful cakes and interior but the price is maybe not so beautiful. Pictured is the Matcha No. 2 and the Hojicha Bergamot cake. The ice cream had a pleasant matcha taste and was around $5. On the other hand, the s l i v e r of cake was $9 . It didn't really have any taste resembling hojicha and there was a layer of citrus jelly inside the cake which I felt didn't really match the flavour of the cake. However this might be a bit biased since I'm not a big fan of citrus or sour foods. I enjoyed the chocolate and nut layer on the outside im but overall I would not be going back for this specific cake. But since I am a sucker for pretty things, I would like to go back and try their other pretty cakes
Delicious desserts and wonderful service. Cute little dessert shop, I enjoy the relax atmosphere.
How many layers is too many? We finally tried the famous crepe cake from Lotus Cake Boutique. It was hard to select one single flavour. We ended up ordering separate slices of the crepe cake, so everyone can enjoy their awesome taste of choice. [Lotus Cake Boutique] is composed of layer upon layer of tender delicate crêpes. My favourites definitely are Musang King Durian Crepe Cake 貓山王榴蓮千層蛋糕 and Uji Matcha Crepe Cake 宇治抹茶千層蛋糕. They were so soft, fluffy, super yummy and had the perfect sweetness. The cake was fantastic! I have to tell you, the flavour was out of this world. Lotus Cake Boutique opened a new location in Burnaby. It was a few blocks away from the Metrotown Skytrain Station. It's located at 4352 Beresford Street near the Metropolis at Metrotown area. Dessert: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 4/5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids Price: $100-$150 (average $12-$14 each slice of crepe cakes) Presentation: 3/5 Parking: 2/5 parking behind the store or street parking in the neighbourhood Tips: * should go early if you want to try out their popular crepe cakes (including matcha, durian, or earl grey). * can pre-order through the Messenger in Facebook , call the store, or DM in Instagram. * should place your order two days in advance if you want a whole cake order. Would I Return: Yes for special occasions

I visited Lotus cake boutique Burnaby location for limited time sakura collection items. What we got: Matcha Raspberry Mousse Cup Earthy matcha balanced with bright raspberry Matcha Strawberry Milk Fresh, fruity, and layered to perfection Strawberry Hojicha Milk Rich roasted tea with a sweet berry twist Matcha raspberry mousse cup was just ok. 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. read more
Cute cafe near Metrotown serving crepe cakes, but friends and I went to try their seasonal mango matcha flight. I'm not the biggest fan of coconut water but the mango matcha latte was quite nice especially with the coconut jelly. Lots of seating available and would be a good place to do work! read more

Second location for the crepe cake boutique originally in Richmond. L'otus is famous for their 15-layer mille crepe cakes. This new location is larger than their Richmond store. For crepe cakes, we had chestnut, lychee & rose, matcha, and strawberry ... all were super yummy! I also tried the matcha + brown sugar pearl drink, which was also very good. Besides crepe cakes and specialty drinks, they also offer other types of cakes (roll, shortcake, etc.), as well as a variety of gelato. The staff was very nice and friendly. They are currently offering 10% off all orders as a soft opening special. Visa/debit/cash are the accepted payments (no Mastercard). Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been to L'otus yet. read more

I have come here three times already. It was excellent! The interior design was very attractive, comfortable and upscale in terms of a matcha restaurant. The owner has put a lot of effort, time and energy on running this matcha shop and aimed for success. Since I have been here three times, they have updated their menu from a more simple version to a nicer one. Most of the items on the menus are the same. We tried their matcha beverages, parfait, shortcake, and crepe cakes. All of us loved them. This is the best shop to eat matcha products in Vancouver other than the ones we had in Japan. Most of the customers here were female. There were a few guys but they were tagging along with thegirls. This restaurant is a good option for girls date, dating, and friends gathering. Servers were friendly and they were trying to be efficient because there were a lot of customers in house and those who bought takeout. I would highly recommend this matcha dessert restaurant to others. The only concern is parking is limited in this neighbourhood. read more

We ordered the strawberry roll cake. The decoration is very simple and elegant. The inside of the cake doesn't have too much cream and has lots of strawberry. The cake itself is very light and not too sweet. But I don't think the flavour justifies the price. The roll cake serves around 6-7 people depending on how you cut the cake. It wouldn't be somewhere I would recommend to other people but overall it's cute to bring to a family gathering and the packaging also looks impressive. read more

Very nice cafe with a big selection of cakes. I live matcha and I am went for the matcha shortcake. I wish there were more pieces of matcha chocolate on top. The gold flakes were a nice touch. Their cakes are quite expensive. My friend and I both shared a teapot of Earl Grey tea. I hope to come back in the warmer months to try their matcha ice cream flight. This is very nice place to chill. They have a good amount of seating available. read more

Price: $12 ; $7 or $15 for the sampler Taste: 4.9 / 5 Atmosphere: 5 Seating: 2.5 Price Performance ratio: 4.8 / 5 Retention Rate: 100% ℙros: They've got a strong Matcha game going on the strongest matcha flavored ice cream I've had in Vancouver. Even better than the from Matcha Maiko or Tsujiri the sampler has 5 levels of Matcha intensity. 1st level is the mildest and 5th is the strongest. The matcha flavor from the 1st level was still noticeable but marginally sweeter they make the best crepe cakes in Vancouver IMO. I know some people prefer the paper-thin crepes resulting in a nearly unnoticeable crepe layer... but that's just like eating whipping cream. You might as well just buy a can of whipping cream then. we tried the creme brûlée crepe cake and it was delicious. Perfect crepe to whipped cream ratio. The top had the caramelized crust and it was slightly crunchy I also tried their durian and 65% chocolate dark chocolate crepe cake before and they were also lovely. their desserts aren't too sweet ℂons: nothing to complain about atm Final thoughts: I find desserts at $10+ range expensive here in Vancouver but not for crepe cakes. It's very labor intensive and time consuming to make each of those layers, so I'm happy to pay Looks like most of you are matcha addicts and prefer the slightly bitter aftertaste from the matcha ice cream I also prefer level 4 - 5 intensity their ice cream reminds me of the ones from Japan Note: only the Burnaby location sells ice cream read more

You need to go here if you LOVE 1) matcha 2) a beautiful, clean interior 3) friendly & quick customer service As a matcha fanatic, I really enjoyed all of the treats here, but my favourite is definitely the ice cream. The flight of ice cream is perfect for sharing with 2-3 others (it might be a bit too much for just two people!) read more
Finally we have this matcha shop in burnaby! We went here on a weekday afternoon so there is not a lineup,but if you go on weekends prepare to wait! We order the 5 scoops of matcha ice cream, they serve level 1-5, from the lightest to strongest. Level 1 they created for kids who want to try matcha so they only add small amount of matcha, so it taste more milky. Level 3 is the most balanced, we recommend. Level 4 is for matcha LOVER! Level 5 is really bitter, but can be challenging! The server is nice and ask if we want to try the different flavor of ice cream. We enjoy the crepe cake very much! It's flavored but not too sweet! read more
After hearing a lot from friends about their cakes, we finally make a trip to visit and try their desserts! The interior design is absolutely gorgeous and it's relatively spacious. However, it gets really busy fast around 8pm and after. Tip: You can make a reservation and they'll do their best to save you booth seats We ordered a matcha ice cream flight, Matcha Millé Crepe Cake, and an Earl Grey Millé Crepe Cake. The matcha ice cream flight has 5 levels for a price of $15. The Matcha Crepe Cake was $9.50 and Earl Grey was $9.00. The size of each slice is around / slight bigger than the palm of you hand. Overall, the flavours of the cake is really good. It's definitely strong for most Mille crepe cake stores and the mousse isn't too heavy. The matcha flight is a great taster for matcha lovers and easily shareable with friends. I recommend checking this place out especially if you enjoy aesthetics. However, it is pricy for what you are receiving as portions. The price is all in the experience read more
One of the most popular local shops known for their mille crêpe cakes. We got the matcha crêpe cake, the matcha red bean cheesecake and double layered cheesecake. The top layer of the cheesecake is almost like a mousse, whereas the bottom layer is more similar to a New York-style cheesecake. I love these cakes as they're decadent and not overly sweet. But they're definitely pricey! Unfortunately we couldn't dine in because of COVID restrictions, but the interiors are so charming. We also left the matcha cake in our fridge, and it made it a little too soft/almost mushy so try to eat it fresh! read more

The location is convenient being just a few minutes walk from the Metrotown station. If you're taking a car, parking is not that difficult but it was the middle of the weekday. The place itself is nicely lit and clean. Service was pretty quick and the quality of the cake and tea here is always spot on. The only reason why it's not a 5 star for me is because they seem to be constantly raising their price. I understand that business these days are tough though. read more

I tried this at their Richmond location before and fell in love with their crepe cakes. So I'm glad that they opened a new location much closer to me! The interior is much fancier and more spacious than its original. I love the floral atmosphere. The cakes did not disappoint and upheld a similar standard to the Richmond location. I really enjoyed the five levels of matcha they offered, as well as their patient service when it came to us trying to figure out what to order. They went through several options with us that helped us make our picks. Overall, I would come back again for some desserts. read more

My favourite cake/dessert place in Vancouver! ( week it is actually the second store in Burnaby, the first one is located in Richmond) they have so many dessert optionns, like cake, icecream, mochi, drinks, etc...Matcha mochi is my favourite! It is fresh made and hot when they serve it. Must order! The other one impressive is the chestnut cake, however, it is not sold by piece. You have to buy the whole $30. We got it as take out when we left and share with family. I would go back again for the matcha mochi! read more

After a visit with one of our personal bankers, we spot this inconspicuous cafe out of the corner of our eyes and then tried to get to it via Central blvd as there isnt a way to turn onto the street where this cafe is. With loads of construction all around this area, parking is a premium.. well until we get inside and one of the ladies tells us there is parking in the back . Not that busy as there was only two table that were occupied, we cased the place out.. they have craft coffee's & teas but the secret is their exquisite desserts.. such as Durian, Mocha rolls.. Earl Grey cake and a few others on top of the gelato.. 5 grades of Green mocha depending on each persons taste.. we ordered the Mocha roll, a Strawberry swan and a Durian cake... omg! The Durian instantly brought back all the great memories of the Durian Buffet we had in Bangkok There was an abundance of staff busy running around serving the two tables but one superior took the time to come over and explain the differences in Cantonese as well as Mandarin ... and they didn't need to wear those silly masks If the rest of the goodies are as good as the Durian, they will be seeing a lot of me and my friends for certain Came back on Saturday night to a full house.. left my name for a table.. went over to the counter and they gave away my table.. isn't this a nice way to leave an impression... which leads me to wonder how they would be if there were multiple groups.. gave a snarl and left with a takeout.. you guys need to fix issues as such and with people who are simply lounging away when they are done .. in my humble opinion .. had to lower my 5to only a 3for that read more
