I ordered an Iced Hojicha and Matcha Croissant, and my friend ordered a Tomato Basil Shio Pan, Coffee Bun and a drink. 3.5/5 Hojicha: drink was fine but didn't have a lasting impression on me 3/5 Matcha Croissant: matcha ganache was really tasty however the croissant itself was kinda flavourless and the outside ever so slightly overbaked for my palate. 4.5/5 Tomato Basil Shio Pan: unexpected hit for all of us. Very moist and flavourful. Will definitely get this one again. Friendly staff and quick service. I enjoyed Cafe Algan and will be back to try other goods.

Though they do not allow laptops during peak hours so plan ahead if you're looking for a spot to study or work! We got the matcha croissant, tiramisu Basque cheesecake and two teas.

Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

Second, did I mention the delicious food and drink, from a great selection of teas and coffees to wines and beer, to a delicious croque monsieur, Parisian sandwich, tarts, croissants, banana bread, soup, salad and more- you cannot spend time at a better cafe. We love it here. Thank you Elysees!

Joy cafe has always been our go-to for a quick lunch if we cant think of a restaurant. Service has…read morealways been amazing and quality been fairly stable However, our recent visit was a bit disappointing. A group of 4 of us went for a quick lunch. We ordered 3 items: Chicken curry with spaghetti, braised pork and bitter melon with vermicelli as well as salted fish and chicken fried rice. For some reasons, all the hot drinks which accompanied the lunch set were luke warm. the chicken curry sauce was luke warm as well. The spaghetti which came with the curry was out of portion with the sauce. The amount of spaghetti was so little that we still had half the curry sauce when the spaghetti was gone. The other items were fairly greasy as well. The prices at Joy cafe has always heen a bit on the high end but quality had been stable in the past. However the quality seems to have gone downhill compared to the increased prices lately

Dark chocolate infused with cinnamon star anise, black pepper and orange zest. Service with Takoyaki Croissant. I had the pho spice hot chocolate last year, I remember the last year one flavor was more stronger. This year's one was subtle and I could not taste much savory flavor in. It was a just regular hot chocolate. If this was a regular hot chocolate, it tasted good, however, if it was pho spice one, not really impressive . Takoyaki croissant was very unique. I enjoyed that croissant with Vegetable, Mayo and sauce on the top. Actually, highlight was cafe royal tart. - A flaky puff pastry tart filled with silky milk-and-coffee cream, topped with a rich caramel flan for a smooth, aromatic café-style treat. This is not hot chocolate festival item. Cream caramel on the top of crispy Pie tart caught my eye. Cream caramel was very delicious and coffee cream filling was really good. Pie tart's dough was super crispy and buttery. I really loved this item.

This place has been around for many years but I've only now gotten around to trying it…read more It's a cute little place. 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.
