    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).

    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

    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

    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.

I was meeting a friend here yesterday who's visiting from California, and when deciding on a meeting place, we realized a bunch of the Gastown coffee roaster places were closed on Sunday, so I mentioned Breka , knowing it was opened 24/7. (LOVE this!). Plus, this site is close to Waterfront Station, and my friend had a busy day planned, taking the Seabus to N.Van and doing a lot of sightseeing. So this Breka was perfect. I was there early at 10 am-ish, and from the outset, I was impressed: exposed brick wall, long counter and display case, fully stocked with the most beautiful pastries and tarts and cakes, and lovely looking sandwiches, too....Just lovely. I ordered a tea from the guy taking the orders. At the check-out, the woman working the cashier was the most unfriendly, aloof person I have ever encountered at a Breka. She was downright dour. Never looked up, never smiled, said I owed X for the tea I ordered, gave me a receipt and said I was "number 3", no "thank you" (despite my saying thanks!), nothing. She looked really unhappy and bothered to be there. (I sat at a nearby table, waiting for my number to be called. I saw her interactions with all the people behind me - and there were quite a few, as it got suddenly busy in the cafe. She was cold and unfriendly to everyone in line as she rang them all up. These are mostly tourists! Why have a dour, borderline-hostile woman at the check-out counter of a busy cafe in a touristy part of our city? I just don't get it). Anyhow, I waited 10 minutes to hear my number called, but I never heard it. I walked up to the take-out area and there was my tea, on a receipt that said "number 3". Did they call out my number? I honestly don't know. I was seated at a table a few feet from the area and listening for my number and I didn't hear it called. I was not impressed with this set-up. Not at all. My friend arrived and got a chocolate concoction which looked amazing, and he loved it, so there's that. I still love Brekas but I probably won't return to this site. Between the cold experience at the cash and the prolonged waiting for my order (a cup of tea!), and not being sure if my order number was ever called, it just all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
