Consistency and consistency that is what this chain is about, never fails Vancouver or Ottawa ... never disappoints!!!

a group of chefs in a commercial kitchen
Jennie L.

I really hope they come to Edmonton. This cheesecake was light and fluffy and a steal of a deal for $12.00. The line up was out the door and around the block most days...even though they are generally open from 9-9 PM (which is more than I can say about their liquor stores). Nowhere really to sit and enjoy it, you come in and buy it and then take it somewhere to eat. They only sell plain cheesecakes and Madeline cookies. The cheesecake is light and fluffy and you don't feel like you ate a tonne after a piece or too. I am wondering if other places have more variety. it would have been nice to have a green tea one or chocolate one to choose from. If you are in Ottawa give it a go!

Japanese Cheesecake
Heather M.

Having never heard of Japanese cheesecake before, we decided to give it a try this evening. Your classic cheesecake flavor but light and fluffy. Not near as heavy and rich as regular cheesecake. Next time I want to have fresh strawberries on hand to serve with it! We will definitely be going back to try their other menu items.

If you like the taste of cheesecake but find it too rich, give this Japanese cheesecake a try. It tastes similar, but lighter and fluffier.

Moo Shu Ice Cream & Kitchen - Vietnamese coffee & brownie ice cream sandwich in packaging

Moo Shu Ice Cream & Kitchen

(111 reviews)

Yummy!! Always fun to go and try the new flavours. The new location is spacious (I would say at…read moreleast 5-10 tables for seating) with warm lighting (and strong air conditioning!). There's also a small public square with some benches outside that will absolutely be useful for busy summer nights. My recommendation is to grab an ice cream sandwich bar from one of the freezers where you line up to order - great textures, fresh flavours, and lots of fun. Easy to split with a loved one! Prices are a bit high, but Moo Shu sources local ingredients (with the names of local farms on the flavour signs!), and pays employees a livable wage. It's a great place to stop by and support, while trying a delicious new flavour. Their new location is absolutely a step up :)

It really pains me to write a partially negative review of a really cool place like Moo Shu Ice…read moreCream & Kitchen, but if a flavor is inedible, that's a pretty big deal. I showed up around 9:00 on a random Tuesday and the place was impressively packed. The line was snaking out the door but it moved quickly. I've always been a huge fan of French Onion Soup, so when I saw a flavor called French Onion Scoop, I obviously had to get it. It's not good. The quality of the ice cream itself is top-notch (i.e. it's super creamy) but the flavor is just kind of gross. Plus there's a lot of sautéed onion in there and I think there's a reason onion and ice cream have never been combined before. I ate some of my cup but wound up throwing most of it away. To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, Moo Shu was so preoccupied with whether or not they could make a French Onion Soup inspired ice cream flavor, they didn't stop to think if they should. (I should note I also tried a couple bites of their DunkaMoo's ice cream sandwich and it was really delicious, so obviously they are capable of making an excellent product.)

Dao Bake & Sip Cafe - Matcha Swirl Croissant

Cute little cafe with lots of pastries and savoury goods as well. We came here for the drinks and…read morewas a bit overwhelmed with how good the pastries looked (didn't know which one to try!) Ended up getting the pistachio and Dubai chocolate croissant. As for the drinks, we got the matcha and the Hojicha with espresso shots. They serve coffee from Hatch (which is probably one of my favourite back in Toronto). Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the croissants fresh but they were still tasted buttery and flakey. The flavour and sweetness was the right amount (perfect for my Asian tastebuds). The drinks were also really good! It was pretty busy inside but there's plenty of seating (might not be great if you want to chill and study but great for hanging out with friends). Service was good, staff is friendly and our order was made fairly quickly. I would come back and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

Dao is a great place to stop in and grab some baked goods. It is on the pricier side but I think…read moreit's worth checking out if you're in the area. Plus, their croissants are big in size and are great for sharing. Their place is beautifully decorated with lots of seating. The workers were kind and friendly. We ordered the Croissant au Pistachio Rose and the Dubai Chocolate Croissant. Both had the perfect amount of flakiness and softness. The Dubai Chocolate was decadent while the Pistachio Rose was nutty with a delicate taste of floral.

Pasticceria Gelateria Italiana - Sfogliatella (Lobster tail pastry). $7.49.

TLDR: Delicious pastries at this Italian Bakery and Gelateria. Much more expensive than at other…read moreshops though (was $7.49 for a Sfogliatella). I was in the mood for a Sfogliatella (lobster tail pastry), so my husband and I went to Little Italy to get one. Pasticceria Gelateria Italiana has been around since 1979, but I had never been there before. They had a large selection of desserts and gelato. We took our pastry to-go, but they have some seating both indoors and on their raised front patio and street-level side patio. The Sfogliatella was $7.49 which is the most I've ever paid for this pastry. Fortunately, it was delicious. Very crispy and flakey on the outside and softer on the inside with a generous amount of cream. I prefer the ricotta cheese filling slightly more, but I like the cream filling too. It was light and airy and not too sweet. Service was efficient and pleasant. The shop has a one way flow, you enter one door and you follow the arrows and exit a different door. The area to wait for service is narrow, so this process prevents congestion and crowding. I like it. Great for the occasional treat, but a bit too spendy for me. (77)

This street has a number of good joints however this was a pleasent surprise to me . They have a wide range of home made chocolate bars , puff pastries , pastries , croissants , cannolis , crème Brûlée and filled donuts . Without wasting much time the good and the anti good . I wouldn't use a term bad as this place is a blessing for Ottawa The good 1. Variety : it's not overwhelming , just enough amount of truffles and breads to satiate your sugar and buttery starch craving .if you are into chocolate you are in for a treat 2. Ice creams : surprisingly three of my friends got icecream a and they were soooo good . So it's consistent 3. Service : quick efficient and nice 4. Patio : cute little patio they also have tables on the side Anti good 1. Coffee - well they are not a coffee shop so it adds up .'illl spend money on coffee on an extra cannoli 2.
