Firstly, there is parking, just be mindful and respectful to those spots that are reserved for other businesses. Once inside you're greeted by the friendly staff. The menu consists of Mexican favourites as well classic north Canadian eats. Do check out their daily specials too while you're there. There is quite a number of tables so if you have a large group I'm sure they can accommodate. We ended up ordering asada quesadilla, comes with pico de gallo, sour cream and a spicy salsa $20. Iced cafe mocha $6 Iced Spanish latte $6 Coffee was fantastic and the quesadilla was good. I saw some people order the breakfast which looked fantastic! That will definitely be my next order! Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything your order there. Go support this small business and enjoy the food!

We had a tasting for this restaurant and we were served delicious tacos of each variety! The have a delicious stew ramen filled with shredded beef!

It was not bad but for the price I paid it was somewhat lacking. I did like it. I wish they used a bit more kataifi. Also they used instant kataifi and not made in house. Service was ok. I would go back if I am in the area.

A nod to Filipino heritage month. The soft serve had subtle flavor of tropical fruits, it was not simple soft serve which was very delicious. It paired with caramel stewed banana so well, especially this banana had a firm texture and it was very unique. I really loved it. And dalgona was light and airy crunch , sprinkle over on the top of soft serve. Meringue and Toasted spring roll wrapper made a great presentation. Overall, both presentation and taste was very great! Highly recommend this unique item!

Really enjoyed their apple pie - and came back later that week to try more! Also enjoyed their mincemeat tart (even though I ordered the pecan tart), cranberry oatmeal square and date square. Will return to try more!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, they were out of brew coffee so I got an Americano with Oat Milk…read more(Americano $4.5 + $1 for Oat Milk). I also tried the Chocolate Cream Cheese muffin ($5), it was pretty good but a tad dry. The outside is like a dry Japanese-style cheesecake, and the inside is a regular chocolate cake, but the combo together is quite interesting. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I do enjoy coffee and need my daily dose, so I did find their coffee overall a bit acidic for my tastes. To each their own. There's a small Specialty Menu on the side that I didn't realize until after I paid, I would want to dry the Espresso Tonic or Orange Espresso. They also sell beans by the cashier. You pay at the cashier, and there's no screen to tip which I appreciate. I personally rather pay for a more expensive cup of coffee than tip, as I usually only sit for 15-30min, and take my own cup/plates away before leaving. Small cafe, about 4 small seats and a few by the bar so it does fill up fast. There's a large parking lot for the plaza, but it's paid parking only. Prices are pretty standard for a small local coffee shop. Overall, I'd recommend this place in Burnaby, walkable for both Royal Oak or Metrotown Skytrain station. It's a cute place to check out if you're ever craving a non-chain coffee shop in Burnaby!

I found this cozy cafe by accident. I am so happy they reopened at different location. They used to…read morebe different location and I have been there a few times. I ordered hoijicha latte and the flavor was strong and bold. Inside was very cozy and relaxing atmosphere. They offer a few baking goods.

Saw these guys at this year's Eat Vancouver and I was extremely impressed with this rich coffee…read more Slightly on the acidic side, however, loved the over all blend. Very awesome friendly guys. It's ethical and free trade which goes a long way with me. They had a little cafe set up. Had a good 10 minute chat with the guy.

I order online now and have tried many varieties - all good. Price is also reasonable. More companies should run this way!

I revisited La saison de patisserie to grab some drink and get a birthday card…read more They sell cute 3D BD card with reasonable price. I got Houjicha Strawberry latte. I usually love their dessert and drink. The one I had this time, houjicha flavor was a bit weak and strawberry purre dominated the flavor, it was just ok. It might be depend on barista. I found they offer soccer themed cake which was very cute.

This bakery is top tier for the area. It's located on a major intersection but tucked away in a…read moreresidential neighborhood. The place is small, with limited seating. The pastries are delicious and crafted so beautifully. I came here for hot chocolate festival and the flavours were spot on. A tad sweet but it's hot chocolate. I also tried their limited time sticky rice croissant which had all the umami flavours one could want! Texture of the croissant was crunchy, butter and full of flavour. Sadly, the sticky rice texture mixed with croissant was not the best. The service here is great. Staff are friendly. The only downside to this store is the way their line up system works. They have 2 store areas, connected by the till. It's a bit hard to pass through when there are people waiting in line to pay, waiting on line to order, etc. Just a bit of awkward spacing

I have my own specifications for how my coffee should taste, which is why I usually don't drink coffee anywhere other than my hometown in India. But this one was pretty close to what we get back home, and that made me like it even more. Yet to try their matcha & ube drinks. Definitely doing that on my next visit!

Finally satisfied my curiosity about the Tiramisu at this place. Stopped by here on the way home…read morerecently and picked one up to bring home. Ate it with my family for dessert later that same evening. To be honest, I found it a bit underwhelming. I had really hoped for a much stronger coffee flavor, but I didn't really taste the coffee in this dessert. While I was there I saw that they also have Hojicha Tiramisu and Matcha Tiramisu. I was at first, very tempted to buy one of those to bring home as well, but decided to hold off on it as there's only so much my stomach and wallet can handle at a time. Now, after trying their regular Tiramisu I don't think I will bother going back for the Hojicha Tiramisu as I was a bit disappointed with the regular Tiramisu. Their drinks are good though. I would still go back for their drinks.
