For just $16.99, the set came with a fluffy strawberry chiffon cake, ice cream with dacaron, and chocolate-dipped strawberries with pistachio, plus a drink of your choice. I went with the Iced Strawberry Matcha and it was light, refreshing, and perfectly paired with the sweets. I also tried their matcha mochi, which was soft and chewy, and their buttery shortbread cookies in matcha, pistachio, and earl grey flavors--each one had a rich, homemade taste. The Shanghai Fog was also super smooth and comforting. They also have locally sourced coffee beans for purchase. Everything was beautifully presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting while the Sakura menu is still available!

Their cake's presentation caught my eye and felt like I wanted to buy them all. This time, I heard that they started selling breads, such as loaf and salt bread. So, I got Truffle salt bread and Pistachio loaf. Pistachio loaf was very fluffy, soft texture, and light pistachio filling , which was very good. Truffle salt bread flavor was not really strong, and I thought their bread texture needs a bit more refinement. I would like to try different flavor of loaf next time. And definitely, I will try different new cake line-up.

The customer service was very helpful in suggesting me some decaf options. I had a berry cheesecake and my friend got the mocha one. The mocha one definitely tasted much more like mocha than the berry one tasted like berry so I'd recommend that one over the berry. Unfortunately, the osmanthus oolong tea I got tasted nothing like osmanthus and just like green tea, I'd skip that next time. While it's a bit pricier than other cafés I've been to, I saw they had a wide selection of fluffy loaves and individual round cakes with some unique flavours like lychee osmanthus (~$13 which could be shared).

I do appreciate how there is the option to appease the truly obsessive coffee fanatics with a 'self brew' option ($1 CAD off!) So you can tweak your own brew to your heart's content! I did not explore this option on my first visit, and I went with the ethiopian bean pour over, and it came out light and delicious! The space is a bit tiny. There is limited seating, but the space is also filled with all sorts of coffee related knick knacks. I greatly appreciate how the small batch whole bean roasting dates are printed on the bags so you know how fresh they are. I took home a 100 gram bag of ultra small batch coffee from Panama, and it was worth it!

The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.
