Tiramisu | Cheesecake…read more One Cake Boutique is easily one of my favourite cake shops. I got one of my favourite flavours, tiramisu and cheesecake, and both were absolutely on point. What I love most is their balance -- the cakes are not overly sweet, yet still rich, creamy, and full of flavour. The tiramisu is smooth and light with just the right coffee kick, while the cheesecake is velvety, indulgent, and melts in your mouth without feeling heavy. Perfect if you enjoy desserts that feel elevated and thoughtfully made, not sugar bombs. Definitely a go-to spot when I want cake that tastes as good as it looks. Best for: Not-too-sweet dessert lovers, celebrations, and cheat-day treats done right.

The cake itself was moist and bouncy. The cream was light and airy. We particularly like their mango and lychee rose cake. The mangos were ripe and sweet. The lychee rose cake had chucks of lychee in between the cake layers with a subtle hint of rose petal that complimented well with the lychee. Everything was scrumptious and it definitely caters to an Asian palate as it wasn't too sweet but just the right amount that you won't feel too heavy after devouring all 3 pieces of cakes! This is a gem and I will definitely be back for more of their delicious treats!

The crepes were paper thin, so the layers of crepe and cream sort of melded together in a way that I thought made for a very pleasant texture. The durian flavour was well-balanced, pronounced but not too potent. It seemed like there was actual durian pulp infused into the cream. The prices seem to be on the expensive side. I appreciate the labour that goes into making crepe cakes and also the rarity of durian as an ingredient but I was still surprised that a single slice of the durian crepe cake was $14. I also would have liked some tea to go with my cake but they only sell brewed tea in pots which are about $10 each. It looked like legit tea but I didn't want to commit to the whole pot. Friendly staff and calm environment. Would be a good for a relaxed date night or lowkey small group outing.

I found Qui during their soft opening, as it's right next door to my daughter's dance class. Qui rock's a stylish interior and happy vibe. Jazz music flows freely and the decor cuts sharp and fine, like their creations behind the glass. I ordered the rose tea and Lychee cake. A delectable not too sweet combination I tried for the first time. The young lady that is the creative force behind Qui clearly has an abundance of talent and technique. Service was great. Shiny, happy people. It was special to see the bubbling excitement of youth chasing a dream. Good luck to Qui Patisserie, please check them out for yourself, I look forward to seeing what fellow yelpers think!

Reservation: I made a reservation a few days in advance for afternoon tea. The booking process is available on their website and was very easy to navigate. Food: It was also Chinese New Year, so their afternoon tea featured some CNY-inspired savory items presented in a bamboo steamer, along with a yuan bao-shaped dessert. Both the savory and sweet selections were delicious and beautifully presented. I've compared Yandoux Patisserie with a few other afternoon tea menus, and I found that they offer more thoughtfully designed, higher-quality items such as beef tartare, salmon oshi, and truffle mushroom crostini. I especially liked that they only serve one scone, so you're not too stuffed to fully enjoy the sweet items. The staff also informed me that their chef change out the menu regularly based on occasion or season. So you won't be getting the same menu every time! Pricing: The set was $59 per person, plus tax and tip. For the quality they offer, I think it's absolutely worth it and comparable to hotel afternoon tea experiences I've had in the past. Customer Service: The staff was very attentive and friendly. They answered all of our questions and reviewed the menu with us to confirm our afternoon tea set. Once the tea set arrived, the staff explained each item and the suggested order for enjoying them. They also regularly refilled hot water in our teapot throughout the meal. Ambiance: Since it was Valentine's Day, the staff decorated the table with fresh rose petals. They even gave me a single rose stem at the end of the meal, which was such a sweet touch. The entire space is very clean, cute, and perfect for afternoon tea. Yandoux Patisserie is located in a building with a parking garage. Parking was about $1 per hour, which was very reasonable. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in town next!!

Bonus points for packaging -- their take-out cups are sturdy, clean, and well-designed, so it travels really well if you're taking it home.

Sweet E's is a bit far for me so it is not easy to drop by often. I have tried their cakes before and they were also very nice. This time dropping by, not only did I get the Pavlova, I also ended up getting 6 mini cakes: - Pavlova - 5 stars - light with just the right amount of sweetness. I recommend waiting until later in the summer when mixed seasonal fruit is available. A really delightful dessert. -raspberry-chocolate mini cake - 5 stars - I like the strong raspberry flavour and the raspberry mousse is a bit tart which I didn't mind at all. -vanilla mango - 4 stars - really delightful mango pudding cake. This is good for someone who do not like their desserts too sweet. -lemon - 4 stars - I didn't try this one my self but my brother in law said it taste very typical.

Other reviews have mentioned that they could put in more tables but I think the empty space is really important for the overall aesthetics and makes the place feel much more peaceful than crowded. They have a very nice variety of drinks and baked goods. There were so many things I wanted to try. I ordered the matcha fog which was such a unique and well made drink. I also got a coffee bun and have no complaints :) Overall, I love all the decor and especially the bunny logo! Definitely will try to stop by again in the future.
