    Mango & oolong
    Halei J.

    This place was pretty cool. To be honest, it's kinda gimmicky. You can get a cake with your boba in those cool cups. Each drink is about 12 bucks. The boba was ok and the cake was not bad but not the freshest, dunno how long they been in those cups. It's a small little place with a few tables and the service was really friendly. There is free parking out front on Kingsway.....

    Came here with friends as their kids wanted to try out Minus Cake Boutique so we came along with them. This place is definitely instagrammable as well as their cakes and drinks. They offer novelty products (the cake container is screwed on top of the drink lid) that sets it apart from all the other BBT and cake places in Vancouver. Our friends ordered #2, 3 and 9 while we ordered #4 chocolate caramel banana cake with Thailand iced thick cocoa with sago. The cake was delicious, not so sweet and the banana layer tasted fresh and not flavouring. The Thai cocoa was a bit too thick for my liking and the sago was mushy but it was chocolatey and well balanced in taste. Was able to try the strawberry shortcake and it was lovely while the mango cake was great too. Not a lot of seating options though if you're planning to dine in and it is quite pricey. Street parking is available around the area.

    Next time you debate about getting a beverage or a cake dessert, you should consider the Minus Cup combo from Minus Cake Boutique. They have a cute, pretty creative, aesthetic cup design so that you can pair a drink with dessert. Minus Cake Boutique is where you can mix and match sweets & sips. Our combinations were: - Pick Me Tiramisu 帶我走提拉米蘇 + Coconut Mango Sago Slush 泰椰很芒 - Vanilla Strawberry Shortcake 香草草莓蛋糕 + Ice Shaken Lychee Black Tea 冰搖荔枝檸檬茶 The cakes were smooth with soft creamy flavours, and the drinks were refreshing. We will be back to try out other flavours! Sweet tooth craving satisfied! Thank you very much @minusboutique18 and @kumofoodlist for letting us try these treats! Dessert: 5/5 Must Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍‍5:5 Kids: 3/5 A-OK for kids Price: [complimentary - giveaway prize] Minus Cake is doing promotion now. Don't wait and check it out! Presentation: 3/5 Parking: Street or validated parking Tips: * can check their Instagram account about promotions. * have a variety of custom amazing whole cakes that can be pre-order in advance. * close early, so check your time before making a trip. Would I Return: Yes ‍

    That night my friend and I had been invited by our hosted family, they had cooked a big meal for us, we were thinking what to have for dessert. The cake and drink from this store combined together shown a unique display. We wanted to buy only the cake in the ball, but they don't sell separately. So we had to buy the combos. We asked if we could select different combinations, the staff was ok with that, so we selected our own drinks with non-selected cakes. Our hosted family was also surprised by the feather of this combination. They tried and really liked it too.

    Great service from the staff at Minus! They have a wonderful selection of cake rolls, even though I did not pre-order one. I ended up paying for a roll and asking them if they can keep it refrigerated for me so I can pick it up after my dinner. They helped take my name and number down and I was able to swing by later to grab it before I went home. Their drinks are a bit pricey but the cakes on top of the drinks are actually very well done. We have a friend whose standards for tiramisu is quite high mention this place does it wonderfully. I tried the melon cake and it tasted great. Not of artificial melon, but of proper fresh melon! I paired it with their rose chocolate drink, which was rich and delicious. These cups are super useful for those who might want to grab a snack and a drink and head to a nearby park with friends. Their design lets you eat and sip pretty conveniently.

    A place to get cake AND bubble tea? Yes please! I had such high hopes entering the shop. It was all too good to be true, and my dreams were crushed. The cakes ended up being too creamy and buttery and just too much. And where was the bubble tea? Two sips and I've hit bottom. The drink and cake combo is fun for the eyes, but sad for your tastebuds.

    Saw a lot of people post and had good things to say about this place so I had to check them out. Parking can be a little tough as it's right on Kingsway so I recommend parking on the side street. They close early so make sure you check your time before making a trip. You essentially get the best of both worlds if you like desserts. Not only do you get to mix and match, but you get a cake on top and bubble tea on the bottom. As there are so many options, I had to come twice and will come back again to try other flavors. Great idea and something different than the typical bubble tea so I recommend checking them out. Let me know which combo you like the best?

    I was searching for pastries and bubble tea drinks online. I suddenly found this new cake shop that sell both cakes and beverages at the same time. It's differentiated themselves from others or so many bubble tea shops! I think this is a good idea as there are too many bubble tea places around already. I decided to drive to this cake shop and gave it a try especially today was such a HOT day!! I looked at one of the three pieces of menus on their countertop and ordered a combo #3 - coconut mango cake with passion fruit grapefruit refresher at $13.50 for takeout. This combo matched the summer! Then, I looked at the second piece of the menus and wanted to order an individual sesame matcha red bean cake (at $6.95). However, the server said that I had to order both cake and beverage as a combo. Then, I was wondering.... why did you have a menu that has listed the individual beverages and cakes on a menu? Anyway, I went by myself, so in the end I only ordered the combo #3 and forgot about the individual matcha cake. I might come back to try the combo #5 - sesame matcha red bean cake with avocado cheese yogurt next time. While I was waiting for the shop to make the beverage, I looked around the shop. I saw all the cakes that the shop has been prepared in the fridge looked very cute especially the container and shape of the cakes. I have never seen them anywhere else. I was hoping the cakes would be delicious (even though I had not tired it at that moment yet). I also looked at the interior design, which was done very well. I really liked the light teal/blue colour they have chosen and decorations they put on the walls. It's just unfortunate that I could not sit and enjoy my cake and beverage in the shop due to the pandemic. I tried my cake and beverage. The beverage was not too sweet (which was about right) and it was really refreshing especially I drank it in a hot day!! The cake tasted good. It's just myself that I don't like too much white cream, so I scooped some out (haha..). Overall, the customer service was good. Other than selling the small bowls of cakes and beverages, they also sell cake rolls with different flavours at different sizes. You can call to preorder the cakes in advance. I think they have good strategies and diversify their business but not only selling beverages and small bowls of cakes. I hope their business will succeed and more customers will come to support this shop. Why did I not give five stars? - It's a bit hard to find parking because of the busy street Kingsway. I drove to the residential area. There were quite a lot of cars as well. I was lucky to get a parking spot. - The menus were literally printed on a piece of 8.5x11 paper and the paper has been used and touched by customers many times, so the menus got wrinkles and they did not look professional. It's just a soft opening. I guess the cake/drink shop will print a better menu later. - The menus showed individual cakes and beverages at their own prices. I did not understand why I could not buy them separately (there might be a reason).

    Minus cakes and more on kingsway has a selection of sweet cakes and drinks. Get their happy hour deal from 3pm-6pm everyday it's $12 for the combo of cake and drinks! It's good you can mix and match them because I was stuck on what to get with some of the mixtures I didn't really like but when I created my own combo it was perfect! Although I would like to try more flavours and combos I got a Japanese matcha yuzu cake I'm a sucker for those flavours! Although the yuzu part was quite sour lemony for my taste I like the pairing with matcha because you can never go wrong with matcha The drink I got brown sugar tapioca milk tea latte which i was afraid it would be super milky but it's not too bad and the pearls were quite good especially with the brown sugar which made it super sweet. I quite enjoyed the drink because of the tapioca

    Fresh mango coconut jelly cake Strawberry fresh milk Fresh kiwi lemonade
    Ceci L.

    I wanted to try this place because who doesn't like cake with their bubble tea? They have a wide assortment of flavours and I like that you can mix n match, which is what I did. The mango coconut jelly cake was delicious, but the strawberry milk was underwhelming. They make their strawberry compote in house, but the drink is 90% milk and imo this isn't worth $6. It's a unique concept and worth trying, but with the price tag I'd rather go to an actual bbt shop that has pearls & coconut jelly on the menu

    The cutest little bubble tea and cake shop, where you get two desserts! As soon as I saw this on Instagram I have been meaning to go and so glad I finally did. There are set combos of cake and drinks, but it is also customizable for a couple more dollars. Primarily Asian flavoured options for drinks and cakes from mochi, the Dalgona craze, and tropical fruits everything sounds delicious so you might want to take a look at the menu before heading in. We had preordered our custom drinks and cakes and set our pickup time, but there was still a bit of a wait. Seems like the cakes are all premade, however their presentation and process reminds me of Japan, where they take a lot of care in assembling, and affixing all the finishing touches. #instaworthy We ordered the brown sugar hojicha mochi cake with the creamy corn milk, and pandan pineapple coconut cake with fresh kiwi lemonade. Their cakes are very whipped cream based and super rich and heavy, but their flavours are bang on! Corn milk drinks are very Asian, and this one was delicious and corny, and I love that there were still some corn niblets in it. The freak kiwi lemonade was not too sweet and surprisingly very tangy/carbonated which was actually a good thing to help cut down the richness of the cake. Everything was delicious, and the presentation was amazing! I will definitely be back to different combinations. It is a pricey at about $14, so I'll save my next visit for a special treat.

    mayo pork floss taro cake and taro milk
    Teresa C.

    This is dessert overkill and I have to say I quite enjoyed the experience. A serving of sponge cake inside a sphere on top of a bubble tea, the ultimate guilty pleasure. For the drinks that we tried, they went very well with the cake and most importantly, the whole meal were not too sweet. The coconut mango cake with passionfruit grapefruit refresher was a no brainer in flavour combination. A tropical paradise! However, I could not taste much coconut flavour but that was not a problem. The mango pudding really tied everything together. The house taro milk with an unique mayo pork floss sprinkled over taro cake was a highlight and a must get item. Savoury and earthy sweetness go hand in hand and the balance was just right to create very interesting flavours. And I appreciate fresh taro paste was used in their drink as well. The unique drink cup looked intimidating but actually was very stable and just perfect distance to take a zip and then a bite. Will definitely give this another go once I burn off this meal.

    I love Minus Cake Boutique! Their cafe is cute and clean, and their cake/drink combo Tiramisu Cake + Heavy Choco London Milk Tea is heavenly. It's refreshing and tasty, the coffee taste of the tiramisu is not overly strong. The combo is very complimentary. The pandan milk chocolate mojito cake was soooo good, I thought it was even better than the tiramisu cake, but I wouldn't recommend it with the coconut mango sago slush. Those two flavors are meant to be enjoyed individually. Come here with an empty stomach, because while the cakes are quite moist, the cake/drink combos are still a lot to eat.

Selections are decent. however the menu is very confusing as they have a posted menu online, a digital menu via QR code and some posted menus. Unfortunately the menus were not in sync. My friend saw a couple of things she wanted to try from the online menu and was told they do not have those items. There are combo on the spot which are not their online menu and the digital menu. We ordered the chicken panini, a small mango bingsu and an order of tue mochi bubble waffle and taro milk tea. The food is very good. there is decent amount of ingredients in the chicken panini (which i forgot to take a picture of). The mochi bubble waffle was decent and i liked the taro milk tea as well. The bingsu was very well made but the price is a bit on the high end given the size. Overall service was good too

    A fun hole in the wall dessert spot x flower shop!…read more Essentially there's a dessert counter in a shared space with a flower shop operated by the one owner - super adorbable concept, the boss was so nice to introduce his menu to us as well! Located on the same block as quite a few other popular HK dessert spots, I more inclined to go to Rose Cafe because it's quieter and a more comfortable environment to relax and sit around in. The boss mentioned they can make anything for us (!) including ginger milk, the sago desserts and that they event have the pistachio paste (yum!). For a quick dessert run - I opted for the small mango shaved iced, it's served with nice and ripe mango chunks, and a fresh mango shaved ice base. For just about $10 it's worth the dessert stop! They had a nice menu of several classic HK items - from deep fried chicken wings, to bubble waffles to pearl based drinks that only HK locals would order. Worth a try if and when you're in the Nanaimo / Kingsway area! Also (!) - very reasonably priced flowers and potted plants!!!

He rang us up, then ran behind curter to make our drinks. It didn't seem too busy here so maybe it was manageable for him. Typically all sold out of the mochi... was actually sold out of a lot of items (see picture of menu) No public bathroom or bathrooms available to customers. Located in strip mall with other businesses, parking is free.

    This is one of the better boba spots I have tried in Richmond where they have some creative drinks…read moresuch as the ones with panna cotta and mochi. I personally tried the cheese foam black tea with mochi and golden pearls which costed close to 10CAD. The cheese foam was slightly salty and pretty creamy, and the taste is much more pronounced when you dip the plain mochi into the drink. The mochi itself was slightly soft though a bit uneven in texture as some parts are chewy and some parts are already a little bit dry. I do like they nicely wrapped the mochi in a plastic bag to preserve the moisture, though I ended up trying it out immediately to get the maximum freshness. The tea itself is flavorful and not too sweet, which is what I intended because I opted for light sugar (30%). The golden pearls were pretty chewy and are the right preferred texture. While I liked the general quality of the drinks, like other reviews mentioned, the price of the drinks are a bit on the higher end but the quality did not really scale up compared to a good boba spot.
