A staff to maintain and guide the guests. There are different prices, dog/cat room is $29.99 per hour per person; and if half and half hour for each room, it will be $42 per hour per person. The dogs in the room are from the owner or from the shelter. The guests can adopt the dogs/cats from the store if you want to bring it home. The owner was really thoughtful to help with adoption. The guests also can just get a drink or snack and sit outside of the room and watch the cats and dogs. If guests write some reviews on Google review, they will get some dog snacks to feed the dogs.

Service was a bit slow so they get 4.5 stars. Sakura matcha was layered, which was pretty. Each layer had its own pleasant flavour. After mixing I couldn't really taste the Sakura, but it was still a good rich matcha drink. The chewy pearls at the bottom had a nice texture. Poop waffle was warm & crisp & came in a Japanese style toilet. There was a choice of custard, red bean or Nutella but I chose to hew to the theme. The crumb was fluffy & quite fragrant. It could have more Nutella but it was free with a checkin so I really couldn't complain.

Coming from the western United States, my daughter made a list of about 15 places in Toronto she wanted to go ... And this place was #1 on her list! After reading the reviews, my wife and I told her it might not be what we expected, but it was everything we hoped it to be! We went a little after noon on a Friday in August and the place was completely empty when we walked in. Torched Salmon Bowl - perfectly seared and flavorful salmon in a cute presentation. Mango Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Great dessert! Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Tasty Ube Coconut Toile Paper Rolls - Yumm! Vietnamese Coffee and Lyche Sakura Soda Downsides -We ordered a Lychee Poop Waffle but were given the Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo. We wanted to experience the waffle but were fine with the Bing-Poo because it was good! -If you are tall, going to the bathroom (whether it be 1 or poo) it was not be fun with a shirt ceiling. -I asked if I could hold our six-year-old as they rolled the ice cream (toilet paper), which is something she's never seen before and they said "No, that's something we don't do." I don't think it would've harmed anybody and we wouldn't have been in anybody's way if I just held her and let her watch the process. I know I've watched, other places as they have done this. Our 2 year old spilled the entire Lychee Sakura Soda before we even took a sip and they cleaned it up for us and gave us a new one!

There was a…read morecasual play for chess event that I went to and I ordered the nutella hot chocolate which was really good! They also gave out free water which was great. They also have other food items to choose from such as mac and cheese, burgers, nachos, and a potato. They all looked so good! I do prefer the Snakes & Lattes College location but the Annex location isn't bad. Overall, I love how there's always something going on and how there's so many board games to learn and play. I would recommend reserving a table in advance as the place does get really busy.

The idea is that you can book time with the puppies and help socialize them, giving them treats, petting them and taking pictures, etc. First thing that came to mind was downward dog with a puppy, hmmmmm. The dogs are part of a collab with a breeder where the puppies get to have some fun with guests here while the people get to smile and enjoy their company. The cafe is a work in progress where there will be coffees available at the front so you can enjoy their vibe without having to book a session and enjoy a latte while doing so. Big white fluffy dogs are definitely not available at Starbucks so this place should be a hit with dog-crazy Toronto!

I loved the colours and presentation so much! The grilled chicken was tender and juicy and all the veggies and rice were delicious. I felt like a had a really balanced, healthy meal. I could eat like this every day! My server was friendly and gave fast service. The place was surprisingly empty for 12 noon lunch time on a Wednesday. It's a beautiful, large space mainly for playing board games. And you have to go upstairs to second floor and then to the back area to order. My only complaint was the bento deals are for takeout only. But I'm coming back for sure!

I originally wanted to do something outdoors, but thank goodness we didn't because the heat was brutal. We all went with the combo deal: 1 drink, 1 meal, 1 dessert, and 3 hours of game time. I showed up about 40 minutes late so I told them to start without me although they will charge u extra more if play over time. From the outside it looks small, but the inside is actually a good size with plenty of space. We each tried one of their signature dishes, and everything came out looking really nice. The dessert was tasty but a bit too sweet for my taste. It probably pairs better with tea. But let me tell you the dragon fruit mango drink was so good, one of my friends ordered it twice! The service is pretty good! They have a lot of game options, variety of food and drinks to choose from. They also sells cute pins, candles etc. Just a really fun and cozy vibe overall. Perfect spot for a chill hangout, casual date, or group gathering.

Went on a Sunday morning for a candle making class with my family…read more We were welcomed by two super friendly staff. We got our drinks (included in the candle making class), while waiting for others to show up for the session.

Such a cute thing to bring your family to, or even a date night.

This is a cute candle shop with a cafe that hosts candle making classes. I have been wanting to try…read morethis place out for years and recently came across a 50% promo code for their candle class. I came on a weekday evening and the class was pretty full (11 ppl). It was a nice activity and the instructor shared some basic candle knowledge with us. Sadly, it's not as hands on as I thought. You first smell the scents on the pre-set sticks, pick three, glue the wick on, mix three pre-measured scent bottles into the pre-poured hot wax, mix, pour into candle jar and wait. I could probably have done this is in 15 min. Majority of the class is the instructor describing the scents, explaining the different notes, teaching how to burn candles, selling things to add on, etc. We then spent another 20-30 min just waiting for the candle to set. I have been to other candle, soap, perfume making classes that were more hands-on. So maybe this felt very beginner. My candle also set funny (sunk in) and I think the wax they provided was clumpy. I did a diy candle making kit at home and it set so nicely so not sure what happened here. I did their glowness lab which is a little more expensive because it "incorporate essential oils, colour therapy and the healing power of crystals". The color therapy meant different color jars to pick from and the crystals were an additional $10 to purchase. With the 50% off it came to $62 for the class. I had fun because it was with a friend but I don't think I would really recommend this or come back. It's borderline worth it for $60, definitely not for $120.

As for the drinks, expect the standard complement of espresso drinks, plus chai and matcha lattes and loose leaf teas. Beans are supplied by Toronto-based De Mello Coffee and baked goods are made locally, too.

Coffee, though, I'm not sold yet. I had a cortado and the espresso-to-milk ratio felt way off, so hard to judge overall. It also seemed like the barista might've just been having an off day. That said, the vibe is great. Tucked away, cozy, with some hidden outdoor seating too. It's the kind of place you'd come to get work done or catch up with friends.

Anyway, I sat down and eventually realized I was meant to go up to the counter to order a drink. So that's exactly what I did, and I wound up grabbing a tasty, refreshing pint of beer.
