This is a very spacious cafe and the tables are not super close to each other. It was not very busy when we were here which was nice. The chairs are mot the most comfortable, maybe to discourage people from camping here and taking up space while waiting for their friends/family to finish shopping. There are artwork on the wall which are for sale. They also put up posters of cats from RAPS which are available for adoption. So cool. This is a good alternative for coffee if you don't want to go to the super busy Timmy and Starbucks here.

When we went there were people dining solo, people eating with their friends and a guy drinking coffee while he worked on his laptop, so it felt like a cozy cafe/coffee shop kind of place that caters to lots of different kinds of people. You order at the main counter and then they bring a number to your table and bring your order there, and our server was amazing! We ate outside even though it was rather cold, as the inside of the restaurant was mostly full, and our server made certain we were all right and even heated up my mum's soup bowl to help us stay warm out there. She came outside to see us and asked if we wanted to move inside because she talked to the guy on his laptop who was sitting at this bar-stool like table by the window and said he was okay to share the table with us, but we said we were happy outside, so that was very kind of the server to think of us like that and make sure we were okay. The soup, which was chicken coconut, was incredibly delicious, so much so that we went back inside to order some more. The "cup" size was very generous. I had the bagel with lox, and it was very delicious and the bagel itself was really good and tasted so much better than the bagels you get at the grocery store. My mum ordered a scone and said it was very delicious as well. Considering inflation, the prices were very affordable.

The food options I've tried have all been very yummy and fresh. The coffee isn't my favourite brand (Parallel 49) so I typically won't go for my usual black or americano but I'm not mad that it's an excuse to treat myself to a cappuccino with brown sugar. I do LOVE their hot and iced teas which are steeped to perfection before they are served. All the staff are super friendly, always smiling, and you can tell they all enjoy each other's company.

Thanks to Yelp and the reviews, I stumbled onto this listing. The coffee shop is cute, very cute with Christmas ornaments and stocking fillers on sale. It also serves simple sandwiches (e.g. grilled cheese), baked goodies besides coffee. The flat white I had was good, comparable to those hipster coffee shops in Vancouver. It has its own regulars and people are friendly. I will come here again when I want to have a good cup of coffee and read a book. It is also not overly crowded on Sunday morning which is nice.

My husband always gets a Spanish latte (even though it's not on the menu), and the staff graciously make it for him every time.

The owner is lovely too, always kind and genuinely happy to see customers. Also, shoutout to their buttery croissant -- flaky, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We're so glad they're open later now. It's the perfect spot for a cozy evening coffee. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates good coffee and even better vibes!

The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. All vegetarian. There's no vegan or gluten free options for afternoon tea, but the a la carte menu includes many clearly labeled vegan and GF dishes. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and very pleasant experience. I was so curious about this place that I made a trip out from Vancouver just to try it (and couldn't get anyone willing to go to Surrey for afternoon tea with me, hence the afternoon tea order for one), and it was worth the trip!
