    Red bean + mochi shaved ice with ice cream.  Peach slush in the back
    Priscilla C.

    If you want sweets or desserts, this is the place to go! Sugar lab has a wide range of desserts, like shaved ice, mochi with cream, Hong Kong desserts, Mille crepes, bubble tea (slushes, milk teas and teas) and more! We ordered the Red bean + taro mochi and ice cream shaved ice. It took some time to be made but I think that's because there's only one worker putting desserts together in the back and one in the front taking orders. The shaved ice was delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness with sugar syrup and condensed milk!! Definitely an item to be shared among a few people. Price wise it was about $20.95 per shaved ice. Next we got their watermelon slush and peach slush. Both were very good as well. Super refreshing on a warm summer day and it was nice and sweet as well. I believe it was around $8 per drink. Seating wise, they have 3 larger tables that can accommodate 4-5 people and a few smaller tables that can fit 1-3 people. The inside is very clean and so was their bathroom as well. 10/10 would come again!

    Decent dessert place with a good selection! Small shop that serves a variety of Asian desserts and Asian drinks. Before ordering, we had a bit of help in deciding what to order as we didn't want to order items that were too sweet. We ultimately opted for their signature fruit tea that is served in a pot, their mango pancakes, and their red bean taro Mochi ice with ice cream. I think overall, desserts were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I liked their mango pancakes because the ratio of fruit to cream was pretty good and the pancake covering outside wasn't really dense. The tea was alright too and had a sweet flavor from the fruit. The one thing I didn't really like was their red bean taro Mochi ice with ice cream. It is a really big portion but I just don't think it was that good. The ice cream was a big miss for me, I really just didn't like the flavor. The ingredients though are relatively plentiful so you don't have to worry about a scoop of ice without any ingredients.

    Clockwise: Earl grey, green tea, strawberry, crème brûlée, taro, mango

    My friend bought this to our gathering so we all tried it out. After all those lady M's rave from years ago, I have a low expectations for these crepes cakes. Much of a surprise, we all quite like the crepe cakes! Earl Grey: 4/5 The tea flavor was excellent. I could not help finding the little tea leaves on top of the crepe are bit unnecessary. It maybe worth considering a switch to something else for a better overall texture. Green tea: 5/5 Absolute standout. This is one of my favorite! The tea scent is very rich. Strawberry: 3/5 I'd say it tastes good but it didn't quite capture the spotlight compared to other flavors. Cream brûlée: 5/5 Perfectly made Trinity cream! It hit that sweet spot without being overly sugary. I would definitely be up for trying it again. Taro: 4/5 Love the taro scent. Whole enjoyable, it did not reach the surprising goodness of some of the other ones. Also, the taro makes the cake a bit too dense. Mango: not sure about this as we saved this to our other friend who came late. It looks like from the side that they have a few pieces of mango within the layers. IMO the cakes are tailored for a more Asian flavor, less sweet/sugary, which I love. This is not a place to go if you are craving for Western-style sugary dessert. The cakes are creamy and fluffy, changing my perspectives on crepe cakes being dense or pancake- like. Reading the menus, I found out how much they actually cost. At this price, I would consider getting the crème brûlée and the green tea flavor. Also, one thing to note: they gave a huge box for the six pieces of crepe cake, which I think is a bit of an overkill and not too environmentally friendly. I'm unsure if they ran out of the smaller boxes.

    This is one of our favourite dessert places. We decided to have this inside. The service was pleasant and the space was clean!

    Decent dessert among a sea of other dessert places by Royal Oak station. Parking is free on the street after 2000. Yay. As others have mentioned, this place is cash only below $30. Something to keep in mind. The building is new, so everything inside is still shiny. Seating is a wee bit limited. There are maybe 20 spots. Group size 2-3 recommended. Staff are friendly and helpful. My friends and I shared several desserts. They have durian and grass jelly and sago and all those other Asian style items. Decent quality, and good pricing. Most importantly, they weren't too sweet. Definitely a good option to check out if one is in the area. Recommended.

    Sugar Lab offers a variety of dessert options to choose from. They are most known for their crepe cakes and always have them in the display window. That's not all they have though because they also have mochi, dessert soup, pudding, bubble tea drinks and shaved ice. While all their dessert options looked tasty, we were going to eat our desserts outside so we wanted something portable. We decided to go with their pudding cups because that seemed the easiest to eat out of everything on the menu. I wasn't sure what this was so I decided to try it out. So what I was expecting was a layered pudding because it was a "pudding cup." Unfortunately, it was layers of "serradura" powder and whip cream with hardly any pudding at the bottom. I was so disappointed because I was so excited to try this out.

    Dropping a star as I think the current business practice of only allowing the use of card payment for $30 and above is ridiculous. Most people do not carry that much cash now. Prices have also increased but that seemed to be the general trend in most F&B places. Good luck as there are so many other desserts and cafes places in this area now and they accept card payment.

    Stopped by this cute cafe located near Metrotown! Came closer to their closing time, so some of their crepe cake was sold out. However, I still got to try the Strawberry crepe cake, which was not too sweet and very soft and delicious! They have a HUGE selection of drinks (bubble tea, milk tea, brewed tea) and desserts!! There was 4~5 tables to sit inside as well. I also got the Jasmine green tea, which was served in a tea pot. I think they mixed in some honey, because it didn't taste purely jasmine! I thought it added the perfect amount of sweetness and went really well with the green tea and the cake. I am excited to come again and check out their other crepe cakes!

    ** Sugar Lab is Cash only!!** Good place to bring a date or to catch up with friends! They open at 2pm, has super cute decor in the inside and very comfortable vibes. There's no one rushing you to leave which is a bonus :) My friend and I ordered the mango crepe cake, milk tea with pearls and a passionfruit bubble tea. Crepe cakes: this had a good balance between fruit and whipped cream. It was tender and not too sweet. You can really see all the layers which I found the most impressive part. Milk tea: Not too sweet. Very smooth and silky texture. I found there was milk than tea. But the pearls were very chewy and bouncy (which I like!!) Passionfruit Bubble tea: This was good!!! I asked for half sugar and I found this to be the perfect combination. Slightly tart but still had bright flavours :) Sugar Lab offers other flavours of crepe cakes. They seem to always have tiramisu, mango and matcha on hand. However if you come on a weekday, just be aware that you won't be able to try their black sesame and taro crepe cakes as they're only available on the weekends. Overall, the cakes were very good and I'm definitely a fan! I do find this place to be a bit pricey. Would definitely recommend coming here once in a while!!

    Amazing drinks and durian crepe would definitely come back!! Perfect treat after a long week!

    I was quite disappointed at the restaurant because all the crepe cakes would be sold out. The crepe cakes were their main selling dishes at the restaurant. Some customers walked in and asked for crepe cakes but the server told them they did not have them anymore at night. The customers left the restaurant right away. My fiancé and I ordered a serradura pudding plant and durian pancakes because the restaurant was out of crepe cakes. We were disappointed at the two dishes. The serradura pudding plant was just some cream and some crumbs that built up the layers. I could do it myself at home. The durian pancakes had so much cream that the portion of durian was so little. Again I could buy some durian and cream and made the crepe myself. Then I could wrap the durian and cream altogether to be durian pancakes. I could go to somewhere else for crepe cakes but probably I won't come back here again unfortunately. Nothing else inspired us at this restaurant. They also sold some bubble tea drinks but I wouldn't have to go here for these beverages as there are so many good ones out there.

    Cute dessert spot, very delicious crepe cakes. Quite a popular spot. Went in on a weekday 5 min after it opened and there were already other customers. The location is a little difficult to turn into from Kingsway but there is street parking right in front of the store. Overall a good experience.

    So disappointed that I came and all the crepe cake were all sold out. I asked the server and they say usually they get a batch of people rushing in around 6 pm and usually that time its all gone. Oh well, will have to come back for that. I heard that this is one of the few places that offer crepe cake. A slice is $8.50 to $8.95 depending on the flavor. I was so close on getting my hands on one. The table before me got the last two slice. So we ended up getting the mango pancake and the chilled mango sago cream with pomelo. The mango pancake is pretty legit. It does have a pretty big slice of mango inside. I liked the chilled mango sago cream with pomelo more. Its very refreshing. The place itself is super small. Seems like there is always a long lineup. Depending on the time of day, be prepare to wait about 20 mins.

    The layers in the cakes are not thin enough, so the proportion of cream in the middle and the flour layers is not optimal.

    I've been to Maison Mori many times and have purchased a variety of items, from cakes to Swiss…read morerolls to bread... Nothing really stood out in my mind. I've long heard about Korean salt bread and had been wanting to try. Maison mori offered a couple of salt bread selections. I didn't know which to get so I asked for recommendations. The staff wasn't helpful at all. "They're all good." She also said the bread is Korean style bread that is popular in Korea. Then I asked why use the Japanese word for salt, i.e. "shio". She then responded that the bread is Japanese style. Like, which is it? Korean or Japanese? After consulting Gemini AI, the two styles are fundamentally the same but the texture is different. Regardless of Japanese or Korean style, I got the original and black (squid ink). I honestly don't see what the hype is. It's essentially just butter roll with salt sprinkled on top. Lol.

    Maison Mori is my regular go to bakery. Since they opened, I don't know how many times I visited…read morehere. My favorite is Soboro chestnut cube, sweet potato cube, Shio pan, mugwort mochi bun, mochi mochi bread and roll cakes. Cube breads are excellent items. Dough is very soft and fillings are great, especially Soboro chestnut cube's small chestnut pieces and crunchy soboro topping makes it addictive. Shio pan is very buttery , one of the best in town. I also liked Mochi mochi bread which had very chewy texture like mochi, but this time, I felt the one I had in the past tasted better. However, Rich bread was very good. The dough is similar to brioche with very rich, buttery flavor. This one is definitely better than before. Overall, I really liked their products. Highly recommend if you have a chance to visit North road

It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.
