This morning I set out to find a pleasant, clean little coffee shop, and quite by chance I…read morediscovered the loveliest place. The view was beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed and inviting, and the entire space felt thoughtfully put together. The moment I stepped inside, I noticed a display of drinks that looked absolutely delightful. Everything appeared just as appealing as it sounded on the menu. What truly caught my attention, though, were the choux cream puffs. So I ordered a plate of the choux cream puffs along with an espresso. The pastry was wonderful lightly crisp on the outside with that delicate chew that good choux pastry should have. Each puff was filled with smooth, flavorful cream, and the variety of flavors made it even more enjoyable. The espresso was excellent as well rich, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. I also appreciated the small details. The plates and the espresso cups were charming, and the setting made it easy to sit back and enjoy the moment. All in all, it was a delightful experience. I would happily give it a 10 out of 10, and I'm quite certain I'll be returning many times.

I ordered the matcha green tea latte with oat milk this time. Tasty and well sweetened without having anything added. My husband ordered an iced vanilla latte and our drink loving teenager ordered an iced chai. I've had all these drinks in the past and they are consistently delicious. Shop is tiny and has seats for about 15-18 people. Comfortably: 10-12 people. It gets so packed and backed up that I never stay long enough for 15 minutes. I have always visited on a week day mid morning. Great location too. Service is nice and quick with the drinks. I have mostly been served by younger college student aged baristas. I gave 4 stars because I notice I get cross contaminated drinks and get stomachaches once in awhile when I order a hot drink. Other than that it's been a nice experience. Would recommend

Stop 2 of our daddy daughter afternoon. Dessert and coffee!…read more Tucked away in Valley West Mall is European Taste. This shop has been on my list for a while, but every time I seem to get to VWM is on Mondays. The only day European Taste is closed. That's my luck... Lol It's a small space with three two person tables if you choose to dine-in. Which we did... It's order and pay at the counter. The majority of the food items are handed to you upon ordering and they bring the drinks to your table when they are done being prepared. The menu board is easy to navigate and the desserts are showcased right up front in a glass refrigerated case. Straws, spoons, lids, etc. are at a station to your Left as you face the front counter. The owner (Alina) helped us today and you couldn't ask for better customer service! Very personable. I really enjoyed our conversation! She let me know most items are prepared fresh and a few of the specialty items come in through other local sources and/or a distributor. We ordered the following: 2x Tiramisu cake 1x Chocolate macaron 1x Double latte with vanilla syrup with oat milk (hot) 1x Blended chai; iced with vanilla syrup Everything was fantastic and I know I'm going to be back! My daughter is a Starbucks girl and she said the chai was sooo much better here... At almost half the price! Besides the tiramisu cake they offer a tiramisu cupcake... If you zoom in on the picture of the tiramisu cupcake you will note the included extra shot of espresso poised in the tube to be released into the pastry... I have to try that! Not a lot of businesses are thriving in Valley West Mall and I wish I'd made it here sooner. VWM doesn't have the food court of locally owned businesses that Merle Hay Mall has... Yet. But this place is worth the stop! It's literally a couple of storefronts inside the entrance by Blaze Pizza on the second level. Plenty of parking and easy to get to! Convenient to grab and go!

Since it is located in the mall, you are able to sit elsewhere. We decided to try the Honey Cake, Lungo, and Iced Caramel Latte. The Honey Cake was deliciously elegant and not too sweet. This was my first time trying a Lungo and it was fabulous! You can get a single or double and it was overall somewhat small, but I loved the richness and creaminess of this espresso. My significant other enjoyed the iced caramel latte and drank it quicker than most places we have been! Overall, this is a solid place for European treats and great coffee!

I decided on the hot PSL with pumpkin cream foam on top and I love it! Definitely will be a spot I frequent to grab some quick delicious coffee. Highly recommend to all.

The chocolate chip cookie dough cold brew was fantastic. It was definitely a labor of love to make this delicious jitter inducing Java. It was great that they could bring their trailer right up to the building for easy access to the employees. A beautiful day. I also got to try their blue raspberry lemonade and their lemon poppy seed scone. Overall, I am very happy with the experience. I wanted to get this on Yelp to bring awareness to them and their company. Highly recommend.

Always solid and the staff is wonderful!…read more Popped in here again a week or so ago. I'd meant to try European Taste there at Valley West Mall and pick up a couple of pieces or tiramisu for a friend's birthday. Unfortunately I found out that European Taste is closed on Mondays... I should have checked their hours online first I guess... Couldn't leave empty handed... So I headed over to Chocolaterie Stam! A small six item box of truffles and other chocolates and I was on my way! All's well that ends well! And you can really never go wrong with something from Chocolaterie Stam...!

You can smell the chocolates that is provided and see the vintage looking decorations. I came at a non-busy hour and the employees didn't seem very attentive for when you arrive. I was actually surprised seeing that this place also offers coffee, so as a "cafe goer", I decided to order a latte to my liking. When placing my order, I needed to wait to pay after they have made my drink which made the encounter a bit awkward as I'm standing there watching them. Receiving my coffee, it was your standard latte. As the cup was hot, there was no sleeves having me use napkins as replacement to not feel too much heat from the cup. That was another reason for my low rating.

I thought it was pretty good and was a different environment to grab a coffee. A friend and I went on a Sunday morning, so it was pretty busy and we had to wait a little bit to find a seat. We found street parking on Ingersoll and had a short walk over which didn't bother us, but I can understand how parking is an issue during busier times. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks but weren't blown away. I also tried the breakfast burrito which was okay, but I probably wouldn't order again. I was hoping to try the breakfast sandwich but they were sold out. I liked this shop, but it is not a place I would go out of my way for.

It almost transcends me into a bit of a European vibe of like no big American breakfast but rather a delicious pastry whether sweet or savory. The flow is a bit odd as I wasn't sure whether to access the bakery cases from the right or left but we figured it out. It was SOOO busy but honestly service was quick once we picked out everything we wanted! We tried the guava danish, the milk Cronut, the chocolate hazelnut Cronut, fruit tart, chocolate cloud donut, almond cheese croissant, and the tuxedo cake slice! Everything was 10/10, 5 stars, flaky, tasty, & the textures were on point. And to top it all off- they had a tiramisu latté on the menu. I had to have it & it was everything I could have hoped for! As a true Italian and lover of making tiramisu, it was truly authentic tasting! I will be returning and telling everyone I know to check out Tous Le Jours!

They also let me know what happened and I appreciate the thoroughness . Go early! As with all fresh bakeries, once an item is out, it is out for the day. It is worth it to have fresh pastries. They had options I've never had anywhere else and I love the creativity of the bake. All in all, 10/10 yums.

The building's design doesn't seem to absorb sound well, so the shrill voices of the baristas, the music, and the general buzz of the room all layer on top of each other. That said, the service was great. The coffee is excellent--truly the standout. The pastries are good and tasty as well, though perhaps nothing extraordinary. While the big couches in the back and the comfy chairs look like an invitation to settle in with a beautifully crafted cup, you may prefer to take your coffee to go if a high-energy atmosphere isn't your vibe.

My only complaint is wanting a bigger size, it's too good for just one size.
