Fluffy pancakes, sandwich combos, and avocado toast
Gloria M.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon specifically for their fluffy pancakes. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to run the risk of waiting for a table as there is very limited seating. With that being said, the cafe is in a quieter area so there wasn't much people when I was there. I visited with three other friends and we got sweet somethings' fluffy pancakes (one order has two pancakes, ~$16.50), sandwich with soup combos (~$13), and avocado toast (~$10). While their food was not bad, I wouldn't say it was the best either given its price point. The pancake was slightly deflated when we got it and more dense than expected - the lemon flavour was a bit strong for my personal taste but my friends enjoyed it. With that being said, my friends did like their sandwiches and I liked my avocado toast as well. Overall, I likely wouldn't return to this cafe again as it is out of the way for me. If you want to make the trip for their fluffy pancakes, whether you like it or not will depend on your taste/texture preference. Sweet Somethings is a cute local neighbourhood cafe with good service and I'll give this place a 3.5 stars (rounded up to a 4) for that. P.S. the cafe has no customer washrooms and make sure to show your yelp check in for 20% off!!

Cupid's coffee: rose milk latte in waffle cone
Ally S.

Got the Cupid's Coffee (rose milk latte) This was a limited time thing. It came in a waffle cone lined with dark chocolate. My friend and I went when I was a bit sick, so my sense of taste and smell was a bit off, but from what I did taste I did like this. It had a very faint rose flavour (again, that was probably due to me being sick). I got the avocado toast with an egg ($10.25) From what I was able to taste, I really did like it. I found that everything tasted really fresh! Would recommend. My friend got the grilled cheese to which I had a bite. There was a LOT of cheese! Again, from what I could taste, it was really good! I'd get this when I go back!!! The service for the food was kinda slow, but the guy at the register was super nice. Overall, I'd go back here!

This place is so adorable! The service is so so pleasant and welcoming. The cookies are so good however the lemon tart was even better! Unfortunately there was no bathroom here due to small space however highly recommend to come study or with your friends on afternoon coffee.

Radiator in the middle of the floor, restricted space for three of the five tables here.

Came in for brunch with wife and daughter, drove from Deep Cove with a lot of anticipation. Reservation required and made, got here and only one of the five tables occupied. Ordered coffee, told no filter coffee, only Americano...130 pm at a brunch restaurant on a lazy Sunday and no filter coffee. Daughter ordered Fluffy Pancakes, drove across town for this and got two pancakes, 2.5 cm thick and 10 cm across with strawberries and whipped cream. Eggs and greens (mixed salad with one poached egg) disappointed, title implies at least two eggs, you can have any style as long as it's poached, asked for soft poached and that got screwed up, my egg could have been used on a clay court. Asked where washroom was, told that they don't have one for the public because it would mean having customers walk through kitchen, directed to Shoppers Drug Mart across the street. Strange to find a 'restaurant' serving sit down food and drink without being required to provide on site restroom. All in all, I regret the trip and the disappointment for my shut-in daughter. Too bad I have to give even one star.

My family and I, including our two elementary-aged boys, visited Rain or Shine Ice Cream recently…read more I was a little disappointed with the flavour selection this time. Maybe it's because summer is winding down, but there didn't seem to be as many fruity options, which made it harder for my boys to find something they really wanted. They ended up choosing the blueberry balsamic. They thought it was okay, but it wasn't a flavour they were particularly excited about. I personally love the honeycomb flavour! It was delicious, but I was disappointed that there weren't more pieces of honeycomb throughout the ice cream. I was hoping for a little more of that crunchy honeycomb texture. Another disappointment was the outdoor patio area. When we went outside to enjoy our ice cream, there was a noticeable garbage-like smell nearby. We couldn't figure out exactly where it was coming from, but it made the patio less enjoyable, so we ended up going back inside. Overall, we still enjoyed our family ice cream outing, but I was hoping for a little more variety in the flavours and a more pleasant outdoor seating experience.

Rooster's Ice Cream is not your typical ice cream spot. It almost seems like it's the complete…read moreopposite to the ice cream giants in town (Earnest and Rain or Shine) on purpose; I dig it. Located in a random spot? Check. Only one staff member working? Check. We've been a couple times and I have yet to see it busy. A few people pop in but no one ever lingers. Most likely because there's no seating. There's also a sign on the counter stating you can only sample 2 flavours during peak hours. There's usually 10 to 12 flavours to choose from; always something unique and interesting. They also have sundaes, ice cream sandwiches and doughnuts on the menu. - Mango raspberry swirl and London fog ($7.00 double) - waffle cone is included and it was better than expected. The ice cream itself tastes a bit denser but still has a creamy satisfying texture. The London fog was fantastic! The mango raspberry was more mango than raspberry but also quite good. - London fog ($5.00 single) - came back on a Monday and they only had four flavours that day. We went with the London fog; just as good as the last time. - Dark chocolate and black sesame with honey ($7.00 double) - the dark chocolate tasted like a fudgesicle but better. Not too sweet and hefty; it was so heavy it almost fell off the cone! The black sesame was delicious. Not quite like the ones we had in Japan but tasty and flavourful. I'll be back again and again! Love the laid back, no frills vibe at Rooster's. One of our favourite ice cream spots!

Great to see more hard ice cream establishments in Vancouver. Read recent Roosters reviews so…read morethought we would give it a try. There are some positives about our experience. First, it is an interesting location on east Broadway in a mainly residential area...the good thing is this allows for plenty of free street parking. The room is functional but leaves something to be desired aesthetically. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The flavours were very much in line with Earnest. Sampled the Dark Chocolate and selected my usual, Caramel Sea Salt. Strong creamy caramel taste (which is great) but unfortunately lacking any sea salt flavour. Glad we went but not sure we will be returning anytime soon.

We lives in a hotel in downtown area and saw there's a store nearby. Walked over to the address listed on Yelp, turned out it's in a shopping mall CF Pacific Centre. Walked around in the mall and finally found it on the lower level. The address listed on google and yelp says V7Y 1E7, doesn't help at all. There's no samples to try in the store, we just blindly trust it's gonna be good. We got milk and dark chocolate selection for gifts. And got a bar of white chocolate with barley for ourselves. Turns out the barley white chocolate bar is pretty good. Barley is quite crunchy and even though it's white chocolate, it's not super sweet. Was a bit sad didn't try the ice cream, it looks pretty good.

Please note they ship only on Tuesday to US so if you placed the order on a Wednesday, it will wait until the following Tuesday. I made multiple calls, the only option they offered was should we CANCEL your order! Somehow the chocolates reached my child, it was supposed to be a SURPRISE - spent over $150.00 and this is what she received! Don't like to use the word common sense why would you leave chocolates on the door in hot weather with one SMALL ice pack - result is as follows below. No notification on my end or doorbell or even an attempt to THINK these will melt!
