This is a cafe by day and lounge by night (with karaoke and live band). We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seating. The latte and Horlick latte in Chinese themed cups and saucers were cute and the matcha Sando was crunchier and more tasty than expected. Do be careful of the sando as it topples over easily and we sadly lost all our cream to the table after the picture was taken. They use Hatch coffee beans - lattes were not very strong but we could taste the aroma of the beans. There's also free board games to play and a photo room for pictures too. Great place and space to chill at Times Square. It's on the same floor as Awesome Hotpot on the second floor, just make a left after going up the escalators.
Wonderful cafe/lounge, it's a bit hard to find as it's not on the ground floor. You'd have to go upstairs of Times Square the stairs next Remax would be the one. The south west corner building of Times Square is what you're looking for. This is a great place that offers lunch/brunch options and then at night it transforms into a lounge. They have plenty of board games that you can use free of charge during brunch and during the evening lounge time. Food was delicious, fresh, and looks great. I would definitely return!
Located on the second floor at Times Square, the space shares the same main entrance as where Dahu used to be. Go up the escalator and turn right. There is an elevator for accessibility. The business model is lounge at night where you can enjoy music , drinks and small bites and during the day they serve an Asian fusion style breakfast/brunch. Tables are mainly 'c - shaped' booths and some small tables in the middle. Very spacious. At 1:30 there was still a decent crowd. Ordering is via QR code. Lots of eggs benny, omelettes, breakfast poutines and breakfast plates.There is a 1-4 pm menu that includes items such as HK deep fried chicken leg with fries and bulgogi fries. Menu is very much bar food style. Lots of deep fried. What was ordered: Spinach and egg omelette Breakfast plate - toast, egg, sausage and fruit Bulgogi poutine Feedback: Breakfast poutine was not hot enough. But the time it made it to the table it was lukewarm. Might have been made first and sat under the heating lamp too long? The breakfast plate gives you a choice of sausage, peameal ham, spam and one other choice. You also get a choice of fruit or salad. Sausage is your standard grocery store sausage but you still get 4. It's the fruit that was sad. It almost looked like garnish, 3 pieces of thinly sliced pineapple, small bunch of grapes and 2 thin slices of orange. Service was decent, there was a conscientious effort to check on all the tables.
I met a friend here, at lunch time; the place is quite large and I can see how it would transform into a lounge in the evening. During the day, it's a breakfast and lunch; and we were happy with the menu offerings. They have a Photo Booth, and they also have a stock of games you can use while there. I found the environment quite pleasant to be in and we were not rushed at all. The staff was super helpful. Oh, this place is upstairs!
This place is located in front of Dahu Hotpot. This place has booth seats with beer pong table, Nintendo switch to play on the big screen. Dark with lights. Usually packed on the weekend. The waitresses were prompt and attentive with anything we needed. The owner Brian was there today who also provided the Nintendo switch for our group which is a HUGE plus to go out of his way to do for us! The salmon risotto was EXCELLENT! Omg I was absolutely impressed because the salmon was cooked JUST right. It was perfect. Risotto was very good as well. Definitely something you cannot pass up on. The fries bulgogi is a little overcooked but still has that nice crunch and very balanced seasoning. The ube toast was also quite delicious as well. I will surely come back here again!
I came on a Saturday afternoon, so we experienced more of the café than the lounge vibes. A extensive brunch menu with the usual options, however, I was attracted to the dessert more than the savoury options. I had the crème brûlée cream sandwich and the hot Hong Kong milk tea. I've never had this type of sandwich before, so I was impressed by the presentation. The top was nicely brûléed and provided a next textural contrast to the soft cream inside. It went well with the milk tea, which balance the sweetness. Nice place to sit and chat, as many tables were enjoying a leisurely meal.
If you think Batman has a (spoiled billionaire play boy by day and dark vigilante by night) complex personality, Sugar Cafe Lounge's persona is equally complicated. Rarely, would you find a place that can pull off being a brunch/lunch place during the mornings and afternoons and a club and lounge by night. On a Saturday morning where I was looking for a place to grab a bite and to kill a bit of time, I realized through Yelp that Sugar Cafe Lounge is actually open by 10am. I didn't even know they open in the mornings prior to this. The vibe of this place strikes me as a modernized Chinese karaoke place. It totally reminds me of the karaoke places that I used to frequent back in the day. They have the same black and neon purple/pink colour scheme. Dice shakers were readily available and visible. The modernisation portion can be attributed to the existence of a photo booth and kildult style cartoon characters wall stickers along the walls/window. And for a "club/lounge", the servers were definitely very polite and attentive which is a stark contrast to the service that you may come to expect in early 2000s karaoke places. My feeling towards the curry katsu egg Benedict is equally complicated. I think the dish has so much potential, but currently has several flaws. Let's start on a positive note. The hollandise sauce was a fit with the curry flavour. The built in acidity also worked to tone down the sauce's heaviness. But even with the acidity, it was a pretty heavy sauce. I like the taste of the sauce, but it's just too too heavy. The egg whites for the Benedict was a bit over cooked and getting on the rubbery side, yet the yolk remained runny. Which I found odd. The katsu pork is a bit on the smallish side and the batter did not seem like the Japanese panko style batter (seemed a bit closer to HK style). The pork was under seasoned, so the taste was hugely reliant on the sauce. They clearly used some form of milk bread for the dish. It's a decently thick slice, and it didn't seem like your typical wonder bread, but the bread also added to the heaviness of the entire dish. I have no clue how the vibe is at night or how busy it gets, but my feeling towards this place is a little bit complicated.
Matcha Latte - had no matcha taste. Tasted of milk Smore latte - had no espresso taste. No marshmallow taste other than the physical marshmallows Classic eggs benny - hollandaise sauce lacked enough flavor. Home fries were soft and mushy not crispy Classic breakfast - sunny side eggs were over cooked. Yokes were solid. The fruit salad was 1 small strawberry and 5 grapes with 2 slices of orange. Service this time was good. Previous visit the server was very rude and judgmental. Was a little hard to grab their attention foe the bill. Resturant was very clean. Not too loud music. Projectors on the wall to help with the mood. They seemed to have a photo area but there were kids running around in there so we didnt have a chance to go take a closer look. Everything is quite expensive for the portion. Left still hungry after spending close to $30 per person.
There's a lot of seating available and they do take reservations. I felt like the menu was a bit small, but when did have different foods compared to your typical breakfast spot. It was a quiet time when we went, I did enjoy the glassware they used for the drinks. I would like to come by dinner time to see how that is in comparison
I kinda got lost trying to look for this place went up times square thinking its there but when i realized that its unit 200 something im like okay must be somewhere on the 2nd floor. Took the escalator up and didnt see anything... i knew there were restaurants after you cross that bridge so i took my chances n there it was!!! I feel like omg at last i found it. Went it n i was like uhh ok this place looks interesting..,. You have booths all around the whole restaurant and thats pretty much it... We ordered the special ice milk tea, garlic parm wings and bulgogi poutine. The food was surprisingly delicious!! I would definitely come back to try their brunch menu The milk tea was just soo cute but a little pricey $6.99....
Finally tried this place after all the hype I've heard. We didn't have a reservation but we went when it just opened not so long ago so we could sit anywhere. There was only 1 other table when we got there and maybe a few more tables as we were leaving. Ambiance - the place was dim but had some nice decor. The cherry blossom picture is actually projected on a monitor. Service - it was initially quick. She even poured us the water and explained how to order and what was available. She checked on us periodically but at the end, we had to flag her down for the bill Food - ordered the breakfast combo and an iced tea. The breakfast was a large portion and filling. However, the bacon was burnt. The iced tea is standard. Overall - 3/5, maybe I'll come back with friends for brunch and try other things on the menu.
This is a new Chinese Cafe and Lounge. They focus on Chinese lounge/street food, dessert, hot/cold drinks, alcoholic drinks, and cocktails. The vibe is dark inside like a bar-lounge, and it has modern decorations. They plan to have various game nights, too. It was recently soft-opened on 2024-12-16. We went there on 2024-12-22. They have a Cafe Menu (afternoons) and Lounge Menu (evenings). During the soft opening, we were allowed to order from both. Luckily, there were a group of us (we shared most dishes). We were happy that there was a two-month period where the government decided there would be no food/drink taxes charged, so we saved on the 13% taxes. Yes, we stayed there for a very long time! There were lots of leftovers to take home. You order items from their online menu via a QR code. We found prices slightly higher than average. During the soft-opening period, for a limited time, all evening food items are 20% off! And you will receive a special gift if you ask the server about it. We ordered the following from the Cafe Menu: 1. Iced HK Style Yin Leong ($5.45). 2. Iced Smores Latte ($8.49). 3. Hot Matcha Latte ($7.49). 4. Iced HK Milk Tea ($6.99). 5. Hot Peppermint Mocha ($7.49). 6. Matcha Sando ($8.99). 7. Black Sasame Crepe Cake ($11.95). 8. Peach Mousse Cake ($7.45). 9. Mango Mousse Cake ($7.45). We ordered the following from the Lounge Menu: 1. Beef Skewers ($7.99). 2. Lamb Skewers ($7.99). 3. Pork Belly Skewers ($6.99). 4. Curry Beef Balls ($10.99). 5. HK Fried Chicken Leg ($10.99). 6. Bulgogi Fries ($10.99). 7. Cucumber Salad ($5.99). 8. 6 Share Plate ($31.99). 9. Fried Instant Noodles + Beef ($9.99). 10. Clams ($10.50). 11. Chicken Karaage ($9.99). 12. Haku Essense Cocktail Tower ($59.99). 13. Tokyo Drift ($15.99). 14. Sake Bomb ($8.99). All the drinks and food from the Cafe Menu looked beautiful and tasted great. The food from the Lounge Menu allowed us to give a big dinner. It didn't disappoint! They were all very delicious. We ate most of it. The Cocktail Tower was huge, bigger than expected! There was a tap at the bottom to pour our the cocktail. It had 9oz of liquor in it, but it didn't take very alcoholic. We only finished about 40% of it; too bad we are not allowed to take home the alcohol due to the law. The Sake Bomb was quite interesting. A staff member would strike a handheld gong several times while encouraging a person to drink the sake, which is in a small shot glass, held above a glass cup with two chopsticks. The drinker would bang on the table, making the chopsticks vibrate until the shot glass falls into the glass cup, which has Sapporo in it! Then you would drink the entire mixture in one go. Quite loud and entertaining for the entire restaurant! The customer service was very good. The food came out much faster than expected; though when we went, there were not many customers. Despite going there about a week after the restaurant-lounge opened, the food and service were good. There were no disappointments. There is plenty of table seating. Each table has a dice game called Liars Dice. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. This is free parking in the mall's parking lot. Review 2025-001
This Chinese cafe and lounge has recently opened up in Richmond Hill a d has become very popular. They offer cafe menu during the day and transform into a lively bar and lounge by night. They offer Hong Kong- inspired menu and exciting experiences like "Sake Bomb". We had so much fun trying their street food like "Meat Skewers", "Clams", "Chicken Karaage", "Bulgogi Fries", "Hong Kong Fried Chicken Legs". Their Cocktail towers are a must-try for group outings. Their cafe menu is very attractive, too. Hong Kong Milk Tea and Latte with the lion decoration is very versatile. They serve hot beverages in beautiful and colorful Chinese cups that make them very special. Their desserts and Crepe Cakes are very refreshing. The staff are very friendly and attentive.
My friend wanted to catch up over a good lunch, so she picked this place based on the high reviews online. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and we were so excited to try their food. When we arrived, the place was already quite full. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, who took us to a seat facing the window. She asked if we have been here before, and we let her know that it was our first time visiting the cafe. She let us know that at night, the cafe turns into a lounge! She brought us the menu, pitcher of cold water, and two glasses. Then she let us know that once we are ready, we can scan the QR Code on the table to place our orders. The menu had lots of exciting items, after a few minutes, we placed our orders- my friend chose the Curry Katsu Benny and I picked the Mushroom and Cheese Omelette with Iced Lemon Tea. When our orders arrived, we could not wait to eat! My friend said that her dish was yummy- the katsu was juicy, the bread was soft yet firm, plus the salad was fresh. I enjoyed my dish as well- the omelette had good amount of mushrooms and cheese, so every bite was tasty. Also, the drink was refreshing and lightly sweet, which was great. In addition, the bear (made out of sugar) hanging by the rim was beary cute! During our meal, our waitress came by a few times to ensure that we had enough napkins and cold water. Good vibes, friendly service and yummy food, I look forward to returning again. read more
My favourite bar in the Markham/Richmond Hill area. In the afternoons its a brunch spot complete with desserts and fried chicken. And in the evenings it can be anything from a dating show, to a mah jong tourney to a full on night club! The owner Brian is a solid guy who always makes sure the customers have the best experience possible, and shout out to the bartenders who make the sickest (and most gorgeous) drinks in the GTA (shoutout to Nicole!)! Also, its nice for a night club to have actual parking! And if you're here for a club night, because its on the second level inside a plaza, you don't have to wait outside in the heat (in the summer), or freezing ice cold (if its winter), you can take the escalators up and wait inside the cozey heated or air conditioned inside! read more

Tried the cream sandos for dessert and really that was the only reason we went - it was pretty good but some flavours could have been better. My favourite was definitely the ube and creme brulee ones. It did take a long time to get them ready though so we had to wait for a while. The service is very good otherwise and the place turns into a lounge in the evenings which is super cool! read more

Brunch time with my friend at Sugar Cafe & Lounge (Daytime)! Food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were amazing too!

Highly recommend: - Iced Hong Kong Milk Tea - Lychee Mojito - Dong Po Rou Benny - Spam & Cheese Breakfast Poutine - Miso Glazed Salmon w/ Seafood Mushroom Risotto read more
I saw this on instagram and Facebook reels and it intrigued me. Finally had a chance to try it out. It is in the same bulding as Dahu hotpot at Times Square. I think this place used to be a Japanese restaurant? It's a cafe in the morning (10-4:30pm) and then a lounge (7pm - closing). Ambiance - 4/5: plenty of spots but the seats are definitely tight. Got some cute decor. They have bathrooms in the restaurant. All 3 can be used by any gender. They do have an accessibility bathroom but it is out of order today. Service - 4/5: we got seated very quickly. We didn'y have a reservation but because we went so close to opening time, it didn't matter. We were the 2nd group to be there. Our server is really nice. She poured water out for us and explained the hours and recommended the pork belly eggs benedict (we didn't get it). She checked on is a few times. Food - 3.5/4: the food was made fresh to order so the food was piping hot. It took awile though. We ordered the miso glazed salmon with a seafood mushroom risotto ($35) and iced HK milk tea ($6.99). The miso glazed salmon with seafood mushroom risotto - salmon was seasoned, slightly too salty for me. The risotto - it doesn't look like they used arborio rice, should be another short grain rice. I was missing that creamy texture. Instead of creamy, it was more like wet al dente rice. For the portion size and the quality, I don't think it is worth the $35. The iced hk milk tea was good, looked much better than the picture on their menu. It came out with a lion. I didn't know what to do with it but it was cute! I asked the server when the entree came out. Apparently it's ice made out of iced tea. The lion goes into the drink. Overall - 3.75/5: I'll come back with friends as a brunch spot but I won't order the salmon risotto again. My partner ordered a classic breakfast which was half the price for a lot more food. read more

Sugar cafe, is a cool choice for a hangout, although a little tricky to find. To find it, you need to go to where Deer garden is, and take the stairs up. The interior is very cool. I heard some nights they do switch nights where people can play and it will view on the projector. They also have a photo room which was a nice touch. The food was the reason I would give it a 4/5. My friends and I found that some things were just too dry, such as the pork katsu sandwich. Not only was the meat very thin and overcooked, it was very dry. When we asked for sauce for the sandwich the waitress informed us that it would be extra which was alright with us, but gave us quite a bit of attitude saying that it wasn't for the sandwich, which was fine, as we just wanted to add some sauce to the sandwich, and we enjoyed the sauce. But besides the waitress, the other waitress was very kind and accommodating. In terms of the drinks, they are beautifully crafted, so if you like taking pictures, this is definitely the place. Overall, sugar cafe is a definite must for the vibe. read more

5/5 across the board for this lil gem of a bar. If you want a fun time with friends or family, sugar cafe lounge is the perfect place to have lunch/dinner/drinks. Came here on a Friday night and was pleasantly greeted by the friendly staff. Has a table for about 6 people reserved. QR code for menu and ordering, that goes straight through to the kitchen or bar side. They are well known for their cocktails, beer towers or bottle service, as per your preference. Was able to try 3 cocktail towers and a beer tower. All amazing, flavourful and just the right amount of sweet (ps. The alcohol is so hidden it tastes like juice). I recommended the blue cocktail and the melon flavoured cocktail. Food- they have a variety of snacky food/food to share. Their fries are super yummy and crispy, lamb and beef skewers were bomb, and clams, and bulgogi fries were recommended as well. Loved everything! We ended up staying there from about 8pm-2am. During the weekends they have featured DJs. There's beer pong and large jenga to play in an open area (great way to socialize with others as you please). A very welcoming, fun and open environment to spend with friends :) they also have table board games/social card games and dice. So whether or not you want to stay at your table or socialize it's up to you! Overall would definitely come back. During the week they have various game night events/social events. Check it out!! read more

This cafe lounge is quite hidden in the building of Times Square. Extremely spacious, since it's also a lounge at night which explains why there were all the fancy dices lying around at the side of the booths and a instagramable room with trippy light projection. We had the bulgogi poutine, dong bo rou benny and creme brûlée sando. While the bulgoigi poutine was decent , the dong po rou benny was too salty and out balanced the rest of the dish. The meat could also be more tender as a dong po rou should be. The best dish was actually the creme brûlée sando. The toast was very crispy, soft and the filling combined nicely with it. I'd give it a try if you're in the area and want to try some new flavours. read more
