This is probably one of my favourite cafés in Richmond Hill. Located on Yonge Street, Kream Dessert…read moreis a standalone cafe with its own parking lot - (a bonus, considering how busy Yonge St is and how crowded the parking lots can be behind the shops)! I felt like I was transported back to Korea. There is a display case with cakes, pudding, and sandwiches and another where all the pastries (Kream bombs) are beautifully put out. These pastries are self serve - tongs and trays are provided for you to bring to the cash register area to purchase. I love that there are a variety of drinks. Everything looked so delicious and decadent. My friend and I ordered a matcha and strawberry matcha kream spanner. They were both so sweet and rich in flavour - I really enjoyed it. The tarot kream bomb was also a wonderful dessert. There were so many flavours to pick from and they all looked so good. We decided to go with the tarot, which did not disappoint. This is a cafe I would come back to - I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a cute spot to hangout solo or with friends/ family. There's a couple seating and cute decor located on the same floor. There's additional seating upstairs, with board games and books for you to enjoy.

When I entered, I was warmly greeted by staff. I looked around - for me, it wasn't immediately obvious what the Dubai chocolate cookies were but the employee on duty saw that I looked confused and helped me find them. I ended up getting the Dubai chocolate cookies and four of the custard toasts (tiramisu, 2x creme brule, Dubai chocolate). They did not disappoint - the Dubai chocolate cookies were the perfect mix of chewiness and coconutiness. I'm not sure how to describe it but the coconut flakes packed so densely together when chewing was perfect! It was my first time trying the tiramisu toast - it was light and not heavy on the coffee flavour, which I appreciate. Definitely a great treat! Inside, there were several patrons sitting and relaxing - some sipping on a drink, some reading a book. I didn't sit myself but it seems like a great place to catch up with someone or to do some studying/work. Definitely would recommend you try this place out if you're in the area!

Wowza LaRocha has an amazing selection of cakes, pastries,…read moretarts and candies. You name it. For sweets this is the place to go. Oven the past 2 months, I have had a wicked sweet tooth, craving all things sweet and this place has satisfied it. I've ordered (all cakes) 1. Lemon mousse cake 2. Biscoffee Cookie Butter Cake 3. Italian rum cake 4. Tiramisu cake 5. Chocolate Truffle Cake 6. Pistachio Almond Cake 7. Brownie Chocolate Cheesecake All just on a whim, almost one a week and not even for any special occasions And I must say each and every one has satisfied my cravings. Every cake I've had here has been rich, decadent and absolutely delectable. I'm going to try to cut down on the sweets now but LaRocca makes it so hard to resist with their world class flavours and numerous choices. I recommend this place whole heartedly and I must say I'll be back (probably next week again)

The individual cakes were very fresh and delicious. She chose the keylime and chestnut cakes. Both of them are very different flavours, but they're delicious in their unique ways. I personally like the chestnut one, but the keylime is a refreshing flavour and I really like the tartness of it. The tiramisu comes in the perfect individual portion in this high quality box that is definitely reusable and can be repurposed. The macarons are very pretty to look at and even more delicious to eat. The creamy delicious centre was heavenly!

Despite being jampacked, as it often is, there was a good supply of the pastries we sought. New to the mix, is their version of a tiramisu. It is off the charts! The pastry chef is truly an artist. If you wish to try possibly the best pastries in the entire GTA, this is the place to go. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. It also pays a call ahead to ensure that you can get the products that you're looking for.

This was my most disappointing dessert at Sul & Bean. We had not been back for bingsu here for…read morequite a while, so obviously the menu options have changed. We wanted a bingsu with fruit. The only fruit they had was mango and strawberries. We opted for a Mango Bingsu, based on the photos displayed and we enjoy the sweetness and softness of mango. The bingsu we received was topped with what can ONLY be described as FROZEN mango and still not yet defrosted. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that it would be served with frozen mango which is usually used for blending smoothies!! My partner did not want to return the barely edible bingsu. The favourite on the dessert was the single small scoop of green tea ice-cream which formed the "leaf" of the strawberry decoration. I truly do recommend getting your bingsu fix elsewhere. I won't be returning. The store is located in the eatery section of H Mart, with ample parking outside in the plaza. PS on further reflection of my review, perhaps I was expecting fresh mango and nowhere on the menu did it specify that the Mango Bingsu is served with fresh mango. Lesson learned.

If you're close by and thinking of having some bingsu, definitely try the place out if you haven't.

There are several places around but this place has a large selection of flavours. Tried the sesame flavour for the first time (I'm usually a fruit flavour girl). Our order came quickly and the staff is nice. I was pretty full from dinner next door and shared one with friends and it was the perfect portion. We were worried there won't be enough sesame, but there was two layers so fret not. It was also just the right amount of sweet, coming with sesame ice cream, red bean paste and some mochi which was soft and added good texture. Overall a nice spot for bingsoo and I want to try the strawberry one next time.

However they move pretty fast, so shouldn't be too big of an issue. Waffle was soooo good - however I think because we got two scoops of ice cream on top, it made the waffle lose it's crispiness , and parts of it became a little mushy. The matcha ice cream was so good, not just pure sugar, you could still get that distinct matcha flavour. However had a latte and that unfortunately was not good - could not taste the espresso what so ever, think they need to consider a stronger blend? - as it felt like I was having a warm cup of milk. Overall would come back to explore the sweets, hopefully try a croffle. But will skip on the coffee here.

They're tucked in the back of the venue and lights are always off, so it's kinda awkward to walk into a hidden corner full of people. The renovation kinda matches Kaleido's industrial vibe. Seats are limited but you could sit near the "stage". They do have some special drinks like the apple crumble latte and koji latte. We got the iced ovaltine latte, hot koji latte and hot roasted latte. The koji latte (espresso, brown sugar, fermented rice and milk) came in the same maybe 8 oz glass as the ovaltine? For $7.5, I would have expected a bit more and not in a glass especially for a hot drink. The fermented rice made the drink taste like a hot chocolate though. The roasted oolong latte and ovaltine were just ok, nothing spectacular. If you're a cafe hopper, it's worth checking out, but not an everyday coffee place.

There are different beans rotation regularly. The barista is well trained to make a tasty cup of pour over coffee. The experience was excellent, you are able to smell the beans after grind. I also enjoy their flat white, dirty. My kid is tea lover and love their oolong or matcha latte. Coffee Now also pairs up with local patisserie shop to bring very delicious desserts to pair with their coffee. My favourite are the Purin (Japanese pudding) and cheesecake.

I had a peek at the menu and noticed several options, including everything from grilled cheese to milk tea, ice cream to cakes provided by La Rocha. We tried a mint chocolate chip ice cream for around $4.50 and a pecan butter tart for about $4.99. I would recommended trying to list the prices as it seemed a bit steep, but then quality was good and everything looked fresh and tasty. Next time, would love to try the coffee and a biscotti. The gentleman (not sure if the owner) was very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, a family seemed to leave as we were aching out. I hope this was not because it was taking too long as it was relatively quick. Another recommendation is to perhaps have a back up for breaks and if there is a line to avoid possible walk outs. Overall, a cool spot to hang out and a nice independent! All the best of luck! -Zuk
