I wanted to try a crepe cake and landed on this place. They had lots of flavours of crepe cakes and other desserts that looked tempting and I decided to try the durian. I really liked it! The crepes were paper thin, so the layers of crepe and cream sort of melded together in a way that I thought made for a very pleasant texture. The durian flavour was well-balanced, pronounced but not too potent. It seemed like there was actual durian pulp infused into the cream. The prices seem to be on the expensive side. I appreciate the labour that goes into making crepe cakes and also the rarity of durian as an ingredient but I was still surprised that a single slice of the durian crepe cake was $14. I also would have liked some tea to go with my cake but they only sell brewed tea in pots which are about $10 each. It looked like legit tea but I didn't want to commit to the whole pot. Friendly staff and calm environment. Would be a good for a relaxed date night or lowkey small group outing. read more

One day I felt like having some sweet desserts after lunch in Richmond, I went to try this cafe for the cake and tea. The cafe is well decorated with plenty of tables. I received warm welcome by the servers and I was amazed by the cakes they produced. My friend and I order cakes, latte and matcha latte (not in picture). Everything went well except the matcha powder did not dissolve properly during the making process. Perhaps the temperature of the milk was not sufficiently high. I asked for another cup and the barista re-made another one in better quality with hesitation. I appreciate their service and the attitude. I will visit again to try some more cakes again. read more

I've only tried their signature creme brûlée crepe cake and it's very light, creamy, and tasty! You could eat a lot of them without feeling too heavy. It is a bit expensive though, but you can tell that they put a lot of effort in the presentation. The packaging is quite luxurious if you order a whole cake. Worth it to try! read more

First time at L'otus and I had high expectations because of all the reviews and hype I've heard before. Went in the late afternoon and there was a constant stream of customers coming in and out for to-go orders, but also a few tables decided to sit in (including us). We ordered 2 different mille crepes, which is what they're known for, and also a coconut latte ($6.50). We opted for the matcha crepe cake ($12) and earl grey crepe cake ($10.50). I definitely thought the earl grey one was much tastier than the matcha -- strong tea taste, not too sweet, and just a good balance of cream and crepe. The matcha one was on the bitter end due to the matcha powder on the top of the cake. There wasn't that much depth to the taste and was quite one-dimensional in my opinion. I thought that the crepe itself was quite flavourless - not much sweetness, so I would assume that they didn't add any excess sugar to it. The coconut latte was quite bitter and any hint of coconut was overpowered by the coffee. To be honest, I thought that the texture was quite strange with the different layers. It tasted similar to Chinese cold thin noodles which are slippery and savoury. It wasn't something that I enjoyed too much but I appreciate the time and labour it takes to create each cake. I didn't think it was worth the amount of money I paid for the entire experience because it's quite pricy for a small piece of cake. I can see why a lot of people frequent this cafe but I think it's just not suited for my personal taste. Worth it probably to try it at least once to see what all the hype is about! read more

Such an amazing Japanese dessert shop, once you enter you will already be fascinated on the cakes displayed. I would say the matcha cakes and roll do stand out as their vibrantly attractive. We planned to taste some of their crepes but because its tax free for six slices so we got more, and cant help to try other such as the roll and cake. The Matcha Red bean Cheesecake was so good, the same as Tsujiri but still it has its own unique taste on it, a creamy matcha cheese cake, with the red bean based as well as the crust has its own adding effect on the taste. We love the Matcha Roll, it was fluffy and soft but more denser than other rolls, so good combination of the bread and creams even the sprinkled matcha powder adds more flavour. The chocolate roll is also so good not so sweet yet chocolaty, a mixed of crunches and creaminess. I would say the double layer cheese cake was also a favourite, I just love the creamy top layer and denser bottom layer. Its something I will buy again in my next visit. All the crepe cakes were delicious and would say more satisfying to eat for the price compared to Spiritea, the creme brûlée and tiramisu stand out among the crepe cakes we got during that day. read more

Dining in and paid tips but was told that you can only sit in "certain seats" despite the store being empty at the time. Cake is bland.

Not even worth a point at all for the service received. Very terrible service and policy at such a premium price, it's absolutely unacceptable!!! Refuse to sell the whole cake as it has to be ordered in advance. Only sell in pieces to have a better profit. It's turning customers down. Will NOT return!!! There's a lot of good bakery stores in Vancouver bc. read more

As an avid dessert enthusiast, I would love to check it out any pastry shop in town! My standard for pastries are higher than normal, rarely to buy desserts or cakes at Chinese bakery shop. One of my friend recommended us on chat group about this new pastry store and hearing the hype about mille crepe. I definitely give it a try. L'otus cake boutique newly opened on Cambie Road, Richmond which across fire hall. Interior décor pretty simple and basic, but, it cleans and bright. They have few chairs and tables at the corner and you can sit down to enjoy a coffee and dessert. Due to soft opening, I found the menu a bit small but it's good enough for me to get few pieces to go! Mont Blanc - The chestnut cream vermicelli was pretty good (perfectly sweet) but it's a bit different than traditional Mont Blanc. It had strawberry inside and not much meringue. Matcha mille crepe - The green tea mille crepe was refreshing and good, not bitter or too sweet. It almost feels like an ice cream texture Matcha cheesecake... Blue Earl grey mille crepe - What is blue earl grey? It's blue cornflower and earl grey. I personally like tea infused desserts, this one quite impressing me. It is absolutely decadent and silky! Matcha cheesecake - It's not spectacular coz the cheesecake not soft and moist. Not my favorite. It should be 3.5 stars for L'otus cake. Coz the price little steeps at $8-8.75 a piece of crepe cake and $6.5 a mini cake. Well... I probably will go back if I'm craving for mille crepe or they have new desserts menu. read more

If you want first pick, go early to this place. Almost guaranteed they will be out of several items if you're planning on stopping by burning their later hours (after dinner). We tried the matcha, earl grey, and creme brulee crepe cake. Matcha was easily the best, earl grey had some flavour, and creme brulee didn't have much flavour at all. All cakes were nice and creamy in texture. I would like to try some of their other cakes and their gelato ice cream flight, but I will probably go to the Burnaby location midday since this location doesn't have the gelato. read more

Came here for their matcha crepe cake and ended up getting that plus the matcha cheese cake. Free Parking: there is a covered parkade with designated spots for customers Cake selection was great and lots of variety. The matcha crepe cake was delicious. Not too sweat or creamy. It was just right. Very light and tasty. Matcha cheesecake had a nice light cheesecake taste with a tint of matcha. The crust was also really good and complemented the entire cake well. Overall was quite happy and satisfied. Would certainly come back and try their mango or other cakes. read more

A nice spot to get some mille cake/ crepe cake style dessert. The place is nice and cozy and has a peaceful atmosphere. Ther place is not that large so you may be waiting for a table if you want to enjoy your dessert there. We got the mango and the earl grey crepe cake. The mango one tasted tangy good and was refreshing. It has fresh mango in it. The earl grey one was also delightful. Overall, a chill spot to grab a light dessert. read more

After seeing a flood of IG photos of these mille crepe cakes, I had to finally try them! I tried the matcha, earl grey and creme brûlée crepe cakes. Having fallen in love with the matcha Mille crepe from Lady M (originating from New York) I was hoping this place would feed my fix of one of my personal favourite desserts of all time. Sadly, I would have to say these desserts really disappointed me. If I had blind folded myself and ate them I would have thought it was a soggy piece of sponge cake (texture wise). Visually, the cakes look really nice and the presentation in the take out boxes are very cute. The store itself is nicely decorated (white, modern, clean aesthetic). The employees are very nice as well. The best flavor of the 3 that I tried was the earl grey (they did a good job of infusing the tea flavor). I did read a few IG reviews on the matcha flavour which commented on how it wasn't anything special-I agree. As many have mentioned there appears to be too much cream in between the layers, so you can't taste the crepe. I do appreciate the time and effort it takes one to make such a cake, but unfortunately this place doesn't compare to Lady M. read more

Edit: I changed the star from 1 to 4. Store contacted me right away after they saw my review. They apologized and offered free delivery for my next order. I pre-ordered one day ahead for a couple slices of cake and one slice of swiss roll. Upon pickup when the staff printed out the receipt, she realized I had ordered one slice instead of an entire roll. she then told me to pick another flavour. I asked her to cut a slice of the roll they made for me and she insisted they cannot do that. If they had made the wrong flavour or if I hadn't order ahead of time I would've understand, but neither of these is the case! BAD customer service! 昨天打電話預定了兩塊蛋糕及一片swiss roll。今天來提取店員印出收據時才發現我點的是一片而不是一整條roll。接著她就要我選別的口味，我請她就把做好的roll切一片下來給我，她怎樣就是不肯！如果今天他們做錯口味或是我沒有提前預定那我能理解，問題是有對的產品只是切一片給我就好！不懂怎麼會這樣做生意！ read more

I paid a visit to L'otus with the hope of satisfying my craving for matcha mille crepe cake, and I was disappointed. While the cake had a smooth and light texture and a subtly sweet taste to my liking, it lacked the most important element: a distinguished matcha flavour. The matcha used was way too mild for my taste. For the drink, I chose apple ginger tea. It was delightfully light and refreshing, and paired well with creamy desserts. In general, the interior decor is bright and aesthetically pleasing with a warm and casual ambience. The menu has a good selection of cakes, coffee, and tea; but the prices are a bit on the high side. Will I be visiting again? Probably not unless I want to try some other flavours like its popular mango crepe cake. read more

I stopped by to buy some cake slices to take home. The crepe cakes were definitely the star and I highly recommend trying these cake slices before you venture on to the rolls and other desserts. Overall, I can taste the quality ingredients and flavours which made the price of these goodies worth it. Too bad it is only take out during COVID times for this location. I would have liked the opportunity to dine in and enjoy a slice of cake sooner than having to go home first. read more

A single cake is admittedly pricey but it's honestly so filling! And they taste amazing as well. We wanted the matcha one but because we went right when they opened, they said it wasn't ready yet and we would have to wait a bit of a while... not sure why they wouldn't have everything ready before opening (especially since they don't even have a very early opening time)... The place itself is quite nice and there is a lot of natural lighting! The service is lacking however, and I can imagine that during busy times, it would be even worse... read more

Came here today and tried their creme brûlée and earl grey crepe. It was nicely decorated and you can actually taste the tea flavour. The best part is that it's not soggy or too sweet. I was there for two hours and a lot of people came in to pick up the crepe cake and they were selling out really fast. I would definitely try their other flavours next time. My friend also bought two more cakes afterwards for later. The owner was really nice to let me use their charger too and they also provide wifi. read more

This place finally opened a new location in Burnaby and it's perfect for hangouts . Not only is there the cake display was filled with so many delicious options. Thing that sets it apart is ICECREAM and goodies! * The chestnut parfait ($16), had good varieties of flavour. Chestnut, fig, jasmine tea, & matcha. The chestnut was strong, and tasted amazing with the corn flakes. (Tasted just like a chestnut cake) The matcha jello, helped bring out the flavours from the light hint of fig. And the ice-cream really helped dilute and combine the powerful flavour of the chestnut. This is a nice dish that I will get again. Not only was it beautifully prepared, it had a lot of key components within that made the dish stand out amongst the rest. - 9/10 (It was super good, only thing was I wished the fig flavour was more prominent as it was a hint too light for me. I believe a stronger fig taste would have really made the dish more well rounded). * Durian pancake ($11), this was my ultimate favourite dish, it was super well flavoured, and the durian was naturally sweet. I loved how there were real layers of durian, which really made it seem super fresh, and flavourful. The smell of the cake, along with the taste was 100% spot on in the cake. - 10/10 (So good, if you love durian then this is the thing for you. Although when you look at it, 3 layers of durian doesn't seem like a lot, but the flavours are strong so its definitely enough or else it will be too strong). * Matcha float ($7.5), this drink was an interesting one. I love the use of vanilla ice-cream because when fixed in it really combines the flavours and make the drink a bit sweeter. (Not too overpowering flavour in vanilla which is good) The matcha itself was super strong, and not too sweet, if you love strong matcha then this is a good dish for you. - 7/10 (I love matcha, however when you think of float, you would assume it to be a bit sweeter. Wish it was a bit sweeter than it was). * Mango Passionfruit moose ($6.5), this moose cake is perfect for those who loves moose. The mango and passionfruit is very prominent in it. Passionfruit jelly in the middle, and mango exterior. Refreshing for a nice day. - 7/10 (It was delicious, passionfruit was on point, [a bit sour, not passionfruit season]. However I felt as if the mango tasted a bit more artificial than real mango) * - 9/10 (I'll come back, ice-cream flight here I come!) - 7/10 (Its super good, for the price. However I wish the portions for the crepe cake for a tad bigger. For $11 you can almost buy 1/2 regular 6" cake). read more

Having now had a substantial amount of Taiwanese desserts, the thousand layer cakes here were delicious. Looking through some of the 3-star reviews on Yelp, I was quite perplexed at comments about the cakes being too expensive and not having enough flavor. In the first case, these cakes are going to be expensive, especially off the island. Giving a lower rating due to higher cost isn't going to cause the baker to lower the prices. It's just being unfair to an independent business owner that is trying to contribute to the local economy. Check our Lady M as an example of how expensive these cakes can be. In the second and for people unfamiliar, Taiwanese cakes tend to be lightly sweetened with lighter flavors. If you want something super sweet from Taiwan, try the drinks (e.g., boba, winter melon juice). While at the L'otus, we had the matcha and creme brûlée cakes as well as rose lattes. The matcha cake _was_ pleasantly matcha-y (contrary to the statements of other reviews) and the brûlée had a wonderfully tasty melted sugar top. They well-represented their counterparts that you can find around the city and in other places. The rose lattes were also excellent. I probably would have given this place 4 stars because while these cakes were pretty good representations of the standard, they were not mind-blowing enough to earn a 5th Star. However, I felt the need to add a star to counterbalance what I feel have been unreasonable lower-than-4-star-ratings. In the end, you should come try this place! read more

-Good Tea Time Spot- While the decor doesn't personally suitme, the cakes themselves are decent. The multilayer creme brule and Earl Grey were quite nice. Light and subtle.

This café is located on the southwest side of the Cambie and Sexsmith intersection. Minimal free parking in the close vicinity. The café has big open window space which makes it bright and extra light with its clean and white decor. There are only 5-6 small tables to sit in and in the early weekend afternoon it was busy busy busy. So my girlfriends and I opted the take-out route. And it's lucky we did because within 5 minutes of us entering half of the cakes were reserved or bought already. We chose the Earl Grey, Matcha and Hōjicha. These beautiful multi-layered crêpe cakes were $8/each. There was a special Mango mille crêpe cake for $13/slice too! A hefty price for such a small slice of cake, hence the one star down. However all the flavours and textures were impeccable. The Earl Grey had a lovely sprinkle of gold leaf for decoration, along with some flakes of earl grey tea leaves, which I hind-sight I should not have eaten because it was hard and not that edible. However, the cake had an overwhelming taste of earl grey. Actually all of the cakes we tried had their flavour truly be present and delicious. You could really taste the warm roasted flavour in the Hōjicha. Overall what really impressed me was the crêpe to cream ratio. There was more of a crêpe consistency than a creme texture, which I enjoyed more because it was more like a creamy cake than a mouthful of creme. It's very beautiful to look at, and I think me and my friends counted about 16 layers of crêpe? A delicious dessert masterpiece. Service was really nice and they packed up our cake slices nicely. There aren't many places serving mille crêpe cakes, so I can see why this place is so popular. I'm happy I got to try it and it was truly delicious, but for this price, my next visit will have to be for a special reason - I'm sad my wallet won't let me have this as a regular treat. read more

I can't comment on the service or setting since I wasn't there to pick up the cakes, so my review is solely based on the cakes. We tried the matcha, creme brûlée, hojicha, mango & early grey crepe cakes. Matcha: Nice, light matcha flavour.. seemed a little more dense in texture and not as fluffy and creamy as the other cakes. Creme brûlée: Nothing too memorable. The topping was nice though and had that torched caramelized sugar flavour. Hojicha: If you like hojicha then you'll enjoy this one, it has that nice roasted tea taste to it. Leaves a tad of a bitter taste. Mango: One of my favourites out of the bunch! Super fluffy, soft and creamy. The mangoes were fresh & sweet and the cream was light, airy and tasted freshly made. It is more expensive than the rest of the options though. Earl grey: Once again, nice earl grey taste to it. I think each of their cakes represent the flavours of teas well. Out of the tea flavours, this one would be my favourite. If I'm craving a nice, light dessert then I may consider going for a slice. But it's not something that I find myself dying to have or thinking about - but that's completely my own preference. The quality of the cakes is definitely there, if that's your type of dessert! read more

My friends and I ventured out for a day of Richmond sampling and L'otus Cake Boutique has been on our hit list. The store itself has a nice ambiance and great staff. Unfortunately, I did not personally like the cakes very much. :( I was super eager to try them, but could not find a palette for it. I tried 3 flavors - Mango, Earl Grey and Creme Bruelle - with hopes that I would like one over another, but was disappointed bite after bite. Ironically, my least favorite was the mango, which was the most expensive and I had bought the last slice at the store. The tag states it was Philippine mangoes that were air flown, but at $13.50, I expected much more. The textures were all very nice and moist, but overall, the cakes couldn't seem to pull itself together. The cream in the mango was overpowering and all three flavors felt very bland like there wasn't enough kick to it. (I felt like it needed something stronger like a concentrated puree or sweeter cream.) Overall, after spending $30, I can't help but feel like it did not satisfy my sweet tooth. PS: They accept VISA, DEBIT and CASH. No Mastercard. read more

This was my first time trying a mille crepe cake and I was pleasantly surprised! The crepes were thin and still had a little bite (not gone mushy) and I could not believe how many layers there were in one cake. This does help justify the steep price per slice (mango around $13 while the others $8) as it is meticulous work to assemble the cakes. The mango was DELICIOUS! The mangos they used were so fresh and flavourful! I felt like I was back in Asia! Big Thumbs up on the mango cake. The Matcha creme that was layered was well balanced and I wish I could eat it on toast everyday. Definitely worth checking out this little cake boutique in Richmond for their Mille Crepe Cakes specifically the mango and matcha! read more

Been here a couple times now after a friend brought me here. Some crepe cake flavours can get sold out pretty quickly, so be sure to come early. Service is quick. The cakes are plated as soon as the order goes in. Get one of their flower tea to pair with the cakes. The tea lasts quite a few brews, and after 4 refills, the flavour was still there. Price is a bit high, but that's expected from boutique cake shops. Cake shop only accept Visa, debit, cash, WeChat Pay and Alipay. Under $10, cash only. I have a feeling their card terminal does accept Mastercard and Amex, but they're trying to save on credit card interchange (Visa Infinite has a slightly lower interchange than MC World Elite). Amex lists this shop on their map as a store that welcomes Amex for Amex Cobalt cardholders, which would lead me to believe the terminal can process all 3 cards. Would be a 5 if the shop becomes open to Visa / MC / Amex. read more

Mille crêpe cake seems to be the current dessert trend in Vancouver. Recently, there are three stores, with similar concept, caught my attention - L'OTUS Cake Boutique, Sugar Lab, and Miss Lina Crêpe Cake. Therefore, my friends and I plan to go for a crêpe cakes hunt to see which one is the best. And first location would be L'OTUS Cake Boutique. It is a famous dessert cafe in Richmond. They are known for the freshly made mille crêpe cake, as well as serving tea espresso-based beverages. I previously went there for 3 times, and they were sold out of cakes. So this time, we reserved a table of four and some cakes to start off. We went there around 3pm on a weekday, so most of the flavors were still in stock. And we ordered four flavors in total - Fresh Strawberry, Blue Earl Grey, 64% Dark Chocolate , and Black Sesame.

Just ok for me. Like macaroons, this was overhyped. We ordered the matcha and mango mille crepe and a matchacinno. I think after today, I no longer like matcha. The matcha mille crepe and matchacinno had alot of matcha, and I know alot of people would love that. I was expecting the matchacinno to be sweet, but it's strictly a cold matcha with steamed milk, no sugar. The mango mille crepe was much better, but not really worth $14. It also had a subtle durian taste to it, could be the cream? Not sure. Don't think I'll be coming back, as this isn't a place for me. I rather go to cafe crepe. read more

We got strawberry crepe cake ($8.50+tax), crème brulee crepe cake ($8.50+tax), earl grey crepe cake ($8.50+tax), dark chocolate crepe cake ($9.50+tax), and matcha crepe cake ($8.50+tax). Most of us liked the crème brulee flavour~ I personally liked the strawberry and earl grey the most! We were all very disappointed with the matcha flavour one..... We couldn't really taste the matcha.... Sigh... Maybe it was just the day we went that it wasn't good??? I must say it's a little overhyped...

Nothing spurs the FOMO in people like seeing countless pictures of beautifully crafted desserts fill their social media feeds. That's exactly what happened in the beginning of the year when people started sharing pics of the delicately formed mille crêpes cakes served at L'otus Cake Boutique in Richmond. I stopped by in March to grab some cake slices to go. The interior of this modern cakery appears clean and modern with plenty of light coming in from the large windows. At $8.50 for each slice, these weren't exactly cheap. I tried both the Earl Grey (a very subtle flavour profile) and the Matcha mille crêpes slices and found that I liked the Earl Grey slightly better than the Matcha. I wish I tried their Mango because that actually looked really good. While each cake falls short of a thousand layers, there's still quite a number of super thin crêpe layers in each slice. For me, I think these cakes came up a bit short when compared with how they looked. I suppose I was expecting the cakes to be a little more creamier than they turned out. If you're in the area and don't mind paying a premium for a pretty picture for your Instagram feed, it might be worthwhile to try them out. Personally, I could take it or leave it. read more
