Ube Latte with Cold Foam Rich, nutty sweetness of purple yam blended with creamy espresso, finished with a silky layer of cold foam. Cherry blossom matcha with cotton candy has so instagram-worthy presentation! Not only it looks pretty, but alsoit tasted great! Strawberry puree and matcha paired so well. Ube latte with cold foam was good, too. Their espresso stood out and ube flavor came through later. I really liked their espresso which was strong and bold. Ube foam was very tasty. I really liked this item. Service was extremely good and friendly. I will revisit this place and would like to try different item next time

I'm conflicted with coffee loft. I love coffee. I love coffee shops. I love pastries. Coffee loft…read morehas all these, but it's just okay. To be clear, it's a great vibe inside. Plenty of seats for small groups and big groups. High ceilings make the location feel spacious. And it was busy with a lot of people. I think if I'm going to hang out with people, coffee loft would be a great spot. However, I don't think the coffee and pastries are particularly good. But of course, I'm a bit biased since these are the things I look for in coffee shops: the coffee. It's not bad. It's just okay. So in short, I think if you're looking for a place to hang, Coffee Loft is great! If you're looking for coffee or pastries, there are other places. Still worth visiting though!

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

So glad i finally decided to. Cozy cute cafe where you can study and bring your labtop/ introvert friendly or quick catchup with the girls / cute coffee date etc ... The cafe is currently participating in the hot chocolate festival too but i ordered a matcha latte along with a cruffin apple cheesecake and ooo it was so delicious and bouncy airy. The center had fresh bits of apple and there was a creamy cream cheese filling and you get this texture that's a combo of crossiant and muffin .. if you love apple or even caramel etc i think it would really suit your pallette. I will order some pastries to go next time when i have more time. Staff is super friendly and patient. They handled the loads of questions i had. Super clean place too. Free parking upfront and there's parking downstairs too.

Lightly sweet, fruity, and creamy. Pink Guava puree mixed with milk was so creamy and nicely sweet. Matcha flavor was decent, but if could be a bit stronger with less ice. Mixing with guava puree tasted good. Presentation was very pretty. Service was very quick. They also offer other cherry blossom items and various unique drink items.

Instead, I got one of their special hot chocolate drinks for the Hot Chocolate Festival and then I got a matcha latte as well. Overall their matcha was not bad although the flavour could have been a bit more strong. I was a big fan of how they recycled old oat milk containers into carry out containers for people needing a tray. I hope to be back soon to try their bread!

What I got: Houjicha Financier Orange caramel Half croissant monkey bread Savory babka(Spinach Feta Garlic. Houjicha Financier was just ok. I was expecting a bit more softer texture, it was a bit dense and houjicha flavor was very subtle. Half croissant monkey bread's texture was very buttery and soft inside with crispy exterior. Outside was a bit too dense and a bit too buttery for me. Crunchy texture was good though... Savory babka was very delicious. Dough texture was chewy and soft, outside was buttery, Feta and garlic dominate the flavor which was pretty good. I think from What I tried, their baking goods tend to have strong flavor. Next time, I would like to try Canele or egg tart.

I did not try apple fritter, I was told it was just ok, but, it was large portion. Chocolate babka was too sweet. Dough was crispy outside which was good, but inside was a bit dry and overly sweet.

The donut and the drink were total perfection! I was worried of not being able to find seats. I was lucky finding a spot at one of the bar chairs.

There may be other places around town that offer it, but so far...this is the only one that I know of. It's already premixed. No adjusting the sweetness level. At least, I don't think so as the person working at the counter did not mention anything about sweetness level. I am happy with the sweetness level it comes at anyways, and love the boldness of the Hojicha flavor. The ice part of the slushy seemed slightly more grainy this time than I remember it being in the past but otherwise I was still very happy with the drink. They have a Happy hour 3-6pm Monday to Friday where all slushies are 20% off, and I happened to be there during the Happy hour so I got my Hojicha slushy for 20% off!
