The inside is incredibly cute, super clean, and well-organized with plenty of seating. The decor is gorgeous, but my absolute favorite part had to be the little cloud pillows. So aesthetic. I actually came specifically for the matcha, even though their main specialty is Japanese cheesecake. I ended up ordering a large Iced Ube Matcha Cloud for $10.30 and she was an absolute dream. You can definitely still taste the matcha, but the whole drink is super light. If you're looking for a massive, punch-you-in-the-face strong matcha flavor, this specific one might not be your vibe. But even though I usually prefer a strong matcha, I just deeply appreciated how delicious and well-balanced this was. It was a bit of a trek for me to get here, but it was 100% worth the drive. I'll definitely be making the trip back!

I love the addition of the little almond cookie to every drink. Food however would be rated a 3 star-the croissant was burnt and definitely stale and the pizza was far too small of a portion for its size (about the size of pizza pizza's mini pizza you would find served on a college campus). Another note would be to have their website updated because I have been there a couple of times where it wasn't open despite it showing being opened on google aswell as their menu and prices need to be updated.

We came here specifically for dessert and I'm so glad we did. The dessert menu wasn't terribly…read moreextensive but did offer a variety of options. There is also a bubble tea menu which I hope to explore the next time I'm up this way. We ordered "a brownie thing" on a signature buttermilk waffle with vanilla ice cream. (They also offer green tea and charcoal ice cream flavors). As you can see in the photo, the waffle was a decent size and was enough to share (if that's what you so choose to do). The customer service was pretty good, the aroma of the fresh waffles was amazing and the interior was stylish and welcoming. I highly recommend!

I haven't been back to Hazel Tea since I've moved out to Toronto but my boyfriend really wanted to…read morego back to try their waffles. Walking in Saturday night it was really quiet. There were maybe 2-3 other tables that were taken. It does seem like a really nice place to study. The place is clean, with soft lighting, and lots of outlets! We ordered a Belgian waffle, with soft serve ice cream, & the mango cheesecake as topping. The total came to $15 which was a little surprising. The food took a little longer than expected. But it came out looking great. The swirl was sesame & vanilla which had hints of both flavors; subtle and not too sweet but it was a little icey rather than creamy. The waffle was fluffy. I did not like the mango or the cheesecake as they tasted somewhat stale. Overall, I think for $15 it was pricey and I would prefer heading to Toronto for a egg waffle for $3 instead.

It's not fun when you have to get up twice to get attention to first time to place order then find your waitress to find out how long the food will take, due to covid , you can tell service has suffered and location has pass through traffic to survive on. The prices went up sadly too. Avg cost of a plate is 15$+. Portions are decent. Atmosphere is chill and they got a patio.

Worst entree we can recall having in any restaurant. Small, overcooked salmon, dry bland rice, undercooked vegetables. We never complain at restaurants but had to tonight.

Taste was ok. I wouldn't complain about the taste much as its purpose is to give energy or be full of nutrients. I am not sure whether it was fresh. They were kind enough to get a pumpkin spice latte to my travel mug but it had too much milk. Taste little diluted. If I had taken their cub, it might be little different. I barely drank half of it. However, Customer service was great. Amazing people behind the counter. It had a good ambiance for dine in as well.
