I have to say that our first experience with Miss Lin Cafe was amazing and they were very accommodating. We were a group of nine and the place was packed. As we were leaving, one of the staff asked if we can give them 5 mins to seat us it was packed. We loved the ambiance, so calm and clean. We all had different drinks and we all loved it, we thought it was refreshing to have something that wasn't too sugary. I had a dessert that looked so pretty to eat, it was really good and again it was light but filling. Every staff had a smile. We don't live in the area, but for sure next time we are there. U are the go to place read more

I checked out Miss Lin Cafe with a friend and tried the Jasmine Green Grape drink. The menu said jasmine tea with green grapes, but mine also came with water chestnut pearls and oranges. I'm not a fan of water chestnut pearls, and most of their other drinks do mention that ingredient, just not this one. Hopefully they can update the online description so it's clearer. The drinks that my friend and I had tried were ok. The space itself is nice for working or catching up. It's not too loud, which I appreciate. They have a good variety of hot and cold drinks, plus some snacks. The snacks are very small portions though. Drinks are slightly above average in price, but you're paying for the sit down space too. Service is good! read more

Cute, cozy spot that's great for studying or hanging with friends. When I went, it was super busy and about half the seats were taken by people studying. The other half were people talking to each other. I ordered the sea salt caramel soy latte and it was really good! It was very well balanced, not too sweet, and it came with a complementary cookies which was a nice touch. We also got a DIY mix to share, which was fun and tasty. One downside was the bathroom situation. It's shared with the other vendors in the building, and unfortunately it wasn't very clean when I used it. Also, there's a poster on the front door that says you get 10% off if you dine in for less than an hour, but that wasn't honored during my visit. I only noticed on my way out, and since the store was so busy I didn't bother going back to ask for a discount. read more

What a cute place! Very I teresting menu if Asian fare. I was super happy to see there are desserts with less/reduced sugar. It's not often to have this option! I'd come back for lunch next time!

Excellent store! Beautiful desserts and very unique combos. Also there is food too. Came for the desserts. 16.99 Midnight summer fruits strawberry and mango and pandan jello with popping boba. The flowers are decorations can't be eaten as well as the paper sign. On the side there is the sauce Coconut milk and add to your desired taste. Other choice was osmathum tea. The dessert have special after pm either 50 percent off or free depending. Next was the Thai shaved ice 16.99 they put a lot of stuff on it the brown sugar tapioca and crunch toffee shaved ice covered with sauce and underneath black jello. A nice mix of items and a little Thai tea sauce if you need sweeter. Creme brulee 6.99 friend ordered looked good not sure how it tasted. The store is tucked away in the building and the front entrance you have to go in the building. Parking in front of the store is not really possible as it's a turn about and handicap parking with 20 min parking spots. Plenty of other free parking available on site. Washrooms not instore have to use building just around the corner. Open till 11pm last call 1030pm. Great little place with lots of unique desserts to try. Also there coffee, noodles and some Taiwanese snacks. Not only was the food beautiful the set up inside as well very warm welcoming patio like feel. Service was quick. Some discount if you pay in cash what a steal. This will be my go to dessert and tea spot now. **Note menu items may change price this was the price at this moment in time. read more

The aesthetics of this cafe is spot on. Very homey Instagram worthy. I've been wanting to go here since they've opened. Finally made it here to try their desserts. They are having a BOGO deal now until Oct 14th for their shaved ice. We also got the egg waffle which was good but not sure it was worth $8 for one. The shaved ice is really good. Especially the Thai milk tea one. Also there's a sign on the door that says you get 10% off your bill if you leave Within one hour. Has anyone tried this?? lol read more

We went Miss Lin for a light meal. It is nicely decorated with a cozy vibe. It's a cool spot which gives you a BBT feel but also provides you some good selections on their menu. This is certainly an interesting place for you to dine comfortably there. We ordered the Salt & Pepper Chicken and the Super Mix Dessert. Both of them were pretty nice. Cute food presentations. Nice server giving us prompt services. I would come back again to catch-up with buddies while having some decent food choices. read more

Came to miss Lin recently and they are doing and buy one get one free promo i their desserts after 9pm. Super super worth it for the price. Their service was really good and they kept checking on us to see if we need a refill for our tea set. I love studying here especially because they close late. There's not a lot of cafe that close late in markham. It is always so aesthetically pleasing from the place and the food. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon, and the place was super busy. We waited for a little bit before we were able to get a table for two. We loved that everything about this cafe was super aesthetic! And we loved that the desserts were really unique and pretty. It was unique of them to use a tea based sugar syrup as I dont think I've seen this at other chinese dessert places (where theyd usually use coconut milk or a simple sugar syrup). They also used a unique assortment of toppings and fresh fruit compared to other dessert places. Only thing we didnt love were the prices. Our bill came to about $70 for tea and dessert, which can seem a bit much for what it is. The tea set we probably wouldn't order again. But definitely see ourselves coming back for the ambiance and uniqueness. read more

3.5 The interior of this cafe is so pretty and the aesthetics of their dessert plates are very whimsical. The online menu was a little difficult to navigate because a few items were duplicate in multiple sections so we thought they were new items oops. Our table we ended up getting two drinks and a dessert plate called Rainy Jiangnan. The plate is jasmine based with jasmine jelly and a few assorted sides along with a shot of jasmine tea pour over. Presentation 10/10 and taste was pretty good. I enjoyed all the different textures. The jelly was more firm than I thought thought and could be stronger in flavour. I am not sure if this was a one off issue but seeing previous reviews from a few weeks ago I am guessing this is an ongoing issue? There is no ac and just fans. We were a bit overheated and one of us got sat next to one of the floor fans and they got a mini wind storm situation going on. Overall, nice place to sit and chill with friends over a drink or dessert. A little on the pricey side though. Interested to come back and try their hot foods next! read more

Everything could be improved. Went on a weekday 2pm, so it's not busy but most of the tables were occupied. You have to scan for the menu to order. The order app sucks. You can't pay on the app either. It's hard to navigate. It's good they have photos with it but somethings were sold out too. The staff seated us knowing it was 4 people. The 3 of us waited for a friend who was late and the waitress kept coming to us asking if we ordered on the app because she doesn't see anything. We reminded her we were waiting for our friend. Drinks came quickly but our dessert took forever!!! Good IG looking dessert but underwhelming. Won't be coming back. Washroom is on the second floor of an office building so I personally rather not wander there at odd hours. read more

Miss Lin Cafe - Does it matter? It was meh - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Went to this really aesthetic cafe in Markham with my friends after dinner. It's open until 11pm most days, making it a good place to hang out. Everything is ordered online via QR code - it's the type where you can see each other's orders and delete each other's items off the cart (before the order is placed). The food and drinks here are tasty and Instagrammable. However, even though it wasn't too busy when I went, all the food came out very slowly. read more

Come here for the nice ambiance and desserts, but don't bother with the savory food. I went to Miss Lin to catch up with a friend over the holidays and the cafe was packed at lunch. We waited about 15mins for a table for 2 which wasn't too bad, and it's nice that there doesn't seem to be a seating limit too, as we saw people bringing their laptops to work. The noodle bowls are about $15 and the items inside were pretty basic. I got the udon beef noodle which the udon tasted like the packaged udon noodles from the grocery store with a bit of preservative taste. Definitely get food somewhere else at the plaza before coming. The desserts here are pretty unique and I liked the flavours and presentations. The Life is but a Dream bowl had fresh mangos and strawberries and the syrup was really refreshing. They are quite pricey as well, the bowls are about $15 and the drinks are around $9. The servers are quite friendly but you can tell they were short staffed during the holidays when the cafe was full. Coming on a weekday with a laptop to do some work is probably the most ideal. read more

My partner and I wanted to find a cafe where we could work and found this place. Pictures of the interior did not do justice to how it actually was in real life! The tea was beautifully presented, it came with a small vase of flowers too. As for the taste, I found it to be okay. The appearance was much better than the taste. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was delicious, also well presented. The ambiance is very nice, great place to work in groups or alone. read more

Good place to chat with friends and to study. Miss Lin Cafe serves Taiwanese food including the traditional beef noodles, various bubble teas and Taiwanese desserts. The beef noodle I ordered was decent. The soup wasn't super flavourful though. The good thing is you can just add 1.99 for another bowl of plain noodles if you are hungry. Will go back and try their dessert next time read more

I've been here twice, and I feel very comfortable eating here every time. The most important thing is that the real thing is very consistent with the picture. I prefer the light sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance and salty milk cap. I scan the QR code to order Waffles and sweet-scented osmanthus desserts are a must-order every time; there are also some snacks here, fried chicken and Taiwanese sausages are also available when you are hungry. The service and atmosphere are very good, recommended read more

Great and unique dessert place! This place has a very nice ambiance upon walking in and the desserts that were served definitely matched. Tried two different dessert dishes here (forgot the names right now but the pictures show what we ordered). Both desserts were super aesthetic and had a combination of fruits and various different jellies. They both also came with a side of milk/cream to pour over the top - very IG worthy. Lastly, they both had very mild flavours.. fans of the "not too sweet" kind of desserts would definitely appreciate these. I would say I'm quite a fan of the desserts and I would go back here to try the other offerings. "Unique" and "not too sweet" would be the words to describe the desserts here in short. In addition to desserts, they also have an extensive menu (a little intimidating at first) of savoury dishes which I'd love to explore one day. read more

You walk in on a hot day and realize they have no AC but there were fans placed all around to keep the temperature comfortable. Bequtoful ambiance with neutral colour and tiny vases with tiny flowers throughout the space. Taiwanese cuisine with some savoury noodles (soup vs dry) options. I highly recommend the dry noodles. It comes to you on a tray and is paired with an aiyu jelly in a floral/perfumed(?) juice - really refreshing and lovely. Service is friendly, speedy, and has great attention of detail. read more

Came here because I saw photos of this place being really cute and the atmosphere indeed was really cute and cozy when I went. Service was just okay. You order the food at the front and then someone brings the food to your table. There were a few times when I wanted something such as refilling my water and actually had to walk up to the front to ask for it. Food was also just mediocre although presentation looked cute! If I were to come back, it would be for the atmosphere more than the food. Perhaps this could be a cute date place for ordering just a drink or dessert instead of eating a nice full meal. read more

Great place for delicious Taiwanese Snacks such as popcorn chicken, Sweet Potato Fries, Chinese sausages and noodles. They also have great selection of coffee, teas and fruit drinks: I really enjoyed the Passion Fruit Mojito. It is refreshing with fresh passion fruit juice and seeds, mint and fresh slices of lime. You can also specify your ice and sugar level. I normally like my drinks not too sweet ... and 50% sweet was perfect for me. For dessert we had Grass Jelly No 2 which has red bean, grass jelly, tapioca and mochi. You can choose to add regular milk or coconut milk and can have it served cold or hot. For me I really enjoyed it with coconut milk served cold. So tasty!! read more

Took my niece here to grab some egg waffles and decided to get a drink here too! I live footsteps away from Miss Lin cafe and always wanted to try the drinks here during the summer when I would go for walks with my little family, but they close around 7pm (womp womp)! Finally decided to take my niece here and we ordered 2 egg waffles and fruit tea to go. It took about 15 minutes for our orders to be completed, which isn't too bad, but there was nowhere to be seated while waiting for your takeout order, so we just stood there waiting and watching sit-in patrons eating and talking (a little awkward). Once we got our order, we walked back to my place while munching on the egg waffles while it was still warm. The waffles were heart shaped and they were yummy. It had a hint of coconut milk, and the vanilla flavour is good, but it's not as good as the ones in Pmall imo, my 10 yo niece also agrees! The fruit green tea was sooo good! It was a passion fruit base with a lot of assorted fruits! read more

Somewhat charming, but tries to be more than it actually is. From the outside and even walking in, it's an absolutely stunning looking cafe with beautiful decor. However what it over delivers in looks it under delivers in functionality. The tables are uneven, the cutlery is flimsy and falling apart. The wood on the forks and knives are separating from the metal. The unnecessarily long utensils are not ideal for eating and are slightly bothersome to use. The service was better than average but not the best. Could be understaffed or difficulty moving around with all the cluttered furniture. No explanation of what you're eating or what is on the plate. Just plop on table and walk away to do something else. The drinks are hit or miss. The sodas are refreshing with a nice fruity flavour. The Thai tea I had was the worst I ever had. Weak and watery tea flavour, and the tapioca was gummy and melting on my tongue. The food was actually much better than I expected. It was great actually. The waffle was warm, crunchy, with sweet fruit and a very tasty treat. The dessert bowls were refreshing, fruity, and not too sweet. Definitely exceeded my expectations on that one. Flashy decor will only get people in the door. What will keep the doors open is consistency and improvement. Lose the twiggy forks, work on your customer service, and stop watering down your tea with so much ice. read more

This cafe has been around for some time and I finally got around to trying it. The decor is simple and cute and the cafe is very bright. They offer traditional Chinese tea sets that come with tea treats or fruits, and a variety of aesthetically pleasing desserts. They also have some Taiwanese snacks like popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup. We tried the beef noodles, one of the desserts, and 2 cold drinks. The dessert was the highlight for me as it was pretty and also tasty without being too sweet. The purple taro milk pudding, rice balls, mochi, and popping water chestnut balls went very well together and the coconut syrup added sweetness to it. I feel the menu items are a bit overpriced in general but I guess you're paying for the vibes and how cute everything looks. read more

Miss Lin Cafe is a charming little cafe in Markham, serving light fare and a wide variety of tea based and fruit beverages. The decor is simple but attractive, with several very large hanging light fixtures that actually help to soften the sound reflecting off the hard ceiling. We had stopped in for something to drink after dining nearby. My friend had a tea based fruit drink while I had a strawberry pineapple soda. Both were refreshingly good. Guests at nearby tables had ordered some food and they were served in some cute little baskets. The food looked good. Next time... read more

This is a casual spot in Markham near First Markham place. They have a great selection of bubble teas, fruit teas, sparkling beverages, hot beverages, and of course snacks! Fried chicken, cake, waffles and other pastries. What's really cool is the environment. Even though it's indoors, it feels like its outdoors with nice wooden tables (some picnic table-ish), plus alot of plans and fake-grass flooring. This gives the summer-patio vibe near-round. They have free wifi, and both times I came here it was packed with not only alot of adults who wanted a new venue for work-from-not-quite-home, but also many students working on projects/assignments. They have larger tables which double as desks, so whether you're here to socialize or spend a couple hours on work or school, this is a great spot. read more

We ordered the two dry noodle dishes (Double Chili Dry Noodle) and a couple drinks from Miss Lin. The food menu is pretty small, but the noodle dishes we tried were tasty and well-portioned. The drinks (Black Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte, Grapefruit Green Tea) were good as well and left us wanting to try the other ones on their menu. We ordered via QR code and the order came fairly quickly; you have to order from one device only, as we weren't able to put in orders from our respective devices for the same table. The restaurant itself is pretty calm and aesthetically decorated; it was a a great spot to get some work done and have a quick meal. read more

Came here on a weekday just before noon and it wasn't busy! Got the Chinese pickled cabbage noodle and it was good, just a bit on the bland side.

Heard a lot of good reviews from people, so we decided to try this place. The meal set tastes good for its price, you can choose 3 side dishes - tomatoes with eggs, tofu, celery, corn, Napa, beans. The marinated egg is the best, obviously soak it enough time. The set also comes with a soup as well. I was a bit disappointed with popcorn chicken, I found papa chang tastes better.

To the few non-perfect reviews of this place. I beg to differ. Good service, really good. Tasteful way of approaching my table, artful with the timing and placement of food items. Decorations are classy, and menu easy to follow (unless... it's not easy for you to read). I casually ordered a mango coconut drink. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. One of my favorite drinks I've had ever. I didn't even ask for tapioca or grass jelly, which is my go-to for drinks like this. I also had Taiwanese sausage, just to see the quality of the food. It was good. Enough said. If you're wondering whether to eat here or not, just come. I've given my approval. read more
