I was looking for a cake that wasn't going to be too sweet and came across Vava designer cakes in my search! I didn't have an order placed in advance so I walked in with my fingers crossed at ~2:30 pm on a Sunday. I was super lucky they had a few cakes left for walk-ins and chose the Taro Mochi Pork Floss Chiffon cake. It was on the pricier end ($60) but once we ate it.. honestly, one of the best cakes I think I've had in a while. It was so incredibly light, truly "not too sweet" and the mochi was so tasty! Such a unique combo, I don't think I've ever had one like it. My parents, who are really not fans of desserts, thought this cake was delicious. The shop front is small but honestly, served its purpose and the ladies working there were both very nice and quick! I noticed they had a number of cake orders so I'd recommend placing one in advance (not winging it like me) and their cupcakes looked delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try their strawberry chiffon - that caught my eye and wasn't available when I went!

Decadent lemon cake
Victor H.

Woah This place has the best cakes I have ever had in my life and in the GTA. This time we ordered the lemon chiffon cake And Wowza It as delicious, sweet and delectable. The cake portion was moist, the cream filling was soft and it had just the right amount of lemon flavouring. This is an easy recommendation for any special occasion cake needs Or Just to come on a whim to pick up a truly decadent sweet dessert.

Preordered this cake well in advance and ordered the wrong flavoured they were nice enough to allow me to change it! They sent confirmation to make sure all was correct, pick up was quick and smooth. And everyone said the cake was really like and fluffy! Love how you can pick one of the designs they offer

My hubby got my beautiful birthday cake from here. Kids think it looks like noodles on top. Tastes great, not very sweet, which is one of the highest compliment you can give to Asian cakes lol

Mr. Right Oreo Cake
Shigei H.

I ordered 8" Mr. Right Oreo Cake for pre-birthday celebration for my husband with friends, decorations of the cake feature my husband's 3 vehicles. I ordered directly with the Richmond Hill branch rather than the CS hotline, Phoebe Cheung was excellent, she was amicable, polite and friendly. I paid $135 for this cake and didn't expect all decorations on top were only paper cut notes and logos, I was expecting something more sophisticated like fondant, otherwise just the cost of the sponge cake as $135 is too pricey! Nonetheless the cake was delivered in a transparent beautiful box and my husband and friends like the cake as it's light, fluffy, tasty and not overly sweet. I've previously tried their cakes and they are really tasty and they offer tailor-made cakes for special events. Although a bit expensive, I'll order for special event again.

Mochanut -- December 2022 exclusive
Linda L.

It's a smaller location compared to their North York store, so the options for premade cakes are limited, but you can always pre-order all of their cakes. Parking is much better though since it's located at a decent size plaza. I got their December 2022 limited-time special Mochanut cake and it was incredible! It's a multi-layer chiffon cake made with mocha hazelnut cream, and topped with roasted hazelnuts, blueberries, and gingerbread. The cake is also super cute as well, totally IG worthy. We totally could smell its fragrance upon opening the box and the cake was so soft and fluffy. I like that the cream isn't overly dense and sweet and you can totally taste the mocha and hazelnut flavours. It's so good we devoured the whole cake in a day! 10/10 would recommend

Strawberry chiffon cake
Susanna W.

You should order in advance if you want a specific cake with customizations. I ordered a strawberry chiffon cake for my sister in law's birthday through WeChat, where I had to fill in a google form and confirm pickup date and time. They have other cake options other than the ones on the website so doesn't hurt to ask. Customer service was super friendly and helpful. The cake was super light and creamy, with lots of strawberries. I'm looking forward to trying some of their seasonal cakes next time.

Mango taro pandan chiffon cake
Clara C.

I got their mango taro pandan chiffon cake with coconut cream and it was delicious! The pandan chiffon cake is extremely light, and it is layered with coconut cream, real taro and mango. The flavours are all really subtle and come together very nicely. The cake also came with 2 candles. I called a week prior to order the cake and was told that a preorder wasnt needed and they have cakes ready day of for walk in customers. However, when we called again a few days later to confirm, someone else picked up and we were told we needed to preorder and we couldnt pickup at the time we wanted. We ended up getting the cake for the day and time we wanted after a small hiccup, but its something to be aware of.

I ordered a taro mochi cake a few days ahead, and about 30 minutes prior to picking it up, they told me to made a mistake and didn't have any left. They offered a yogurt mixed berry cake instead, and gave me $10 off for the trouble. I appreciated their effort and thought, but we weren't really a huge fan of the yogurt cake. The cake it meant to be sweet and sour, but tasted more sour than sweet. I do like "Asian not too sweet" cakes but this could definitely be a tad more sweet. There's also cereal inside the cake which was soggy and wasn't a fan of that. I do like how the chiffon tasted really fresh and soft. I want to try their taro mochi but they don't sell the smaller 4" version at this location.

Ordered recently a beautifully designed cake for my daughter's bday.Their specialty is in Chiffon cakes. A chiffon cake is a very light fluffy cake. There are a variety of cake fillings such as mango, strawberry and caramel. We got the Angel's Love Letter cake which was so pretty, tasty and a bit pricey for $150 but we got really beautiful bday photos so it was worth it! Most of their basic chiffon cakes (4" or 6") aren't that expensive ranging from $25 to $55. Since this was my first time, I don't have a favourite filling flavour yet but the mango filling that we got was pretty good. I've read other reviews and it looks like the Taro Mochi is a popular one so I will definitely be back to try this one.

I bought a mini layered chiffon cake set when they had their 2 day 50% off promotion. The staff handed out numbered tickets since there was only 45 of the cake sets available for this promotion. This is a much better system than customers lining up to wait and getting to the shop to find out if there were anymore cake sets available. One customer was allowed into the shop at a time to adhere to physical distancing since the shop is so small. There's a display case at the front of the shop and a counter on the wall but not much else. Only cash or debit was accepted. The transaction was quick since all the cake sets were already prepared. The cake set was well packaged with a handle to carry the box and had individual slots for the cakes so that they wouldn't move around during transportation. The mini cakes were layered with cake, cream, and fruit/cookie chunks, chocolate or whatever the flavour was. The flavours were strawberry chocolate crunch, Oreo sprinkles, taro mochi, mango chunks, chocolate crunch and caramel sea salt. I found the taste to be on the bland side. I don't like overly sweet things and this fell into the not sweet at all category. The cakes were airy and light and even though I'm not usually a fan of cream I liked the cream on these.

Always order cake from this place. Specially cup cake for my daughter. She likes their Oreo cupcake as always. The service the good. Only thing this location is very small.

Custom Design Cake
Angel C.

I order my cakes with Vava every time! Ever since my 1st order with them that was conveniently placed via text, I've always returned for all my family's special occasions. Their packaging is on point, presentable, well thought out & even comes with cute cutlery/plates! Their chiffon based cake is always fluffy, soft, made fresh, and never too sweet. Everyone always enjoys it every time. I was extremely pleased with the most recent order that I placed last minute yesterday late afternoon & got to pick up the next day early afternoon. (It was also a custom design cake order too!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Fair pricing, high quality, tastes great, and extremely convenient to order with quick & friendly communication.

The only fruit they had was mango and strawberries. We opted for a Mango Bingsu, based on the photos displayed and we enjoy the sweetness and softness of mango. The bingsu we received was topped with what can ONLY be described as FROZEN mango and still not yet defrosted. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that it would be served with frozen mango which is usually used for blending smoothies!! My partner did not want to return the barely edible bingsu. The favourite on the dessert was the single small scoop of green tea ice-cream which formed the "leaf" of the strawberry decoration. I truly do recommend getting your bingsu fix elsewhere. I won't be returning. The store is located in the eatery section of H Mart, with ample parking outside in the plaza. PS on further reflection of my review, perhaps I was expecting fresh mango and nowhere on the menu did it specify that the Mango Bingsu is served with fresh mango. Lesson learned.

La Rocca also sells their cakes via some supermarket chains, whole cakes sold in chain stores priced a few dollars lower than La Rocca store (see attached photos for same cake, Loblaw sold $32, La Rocca sold $36), is this because La Rocca store sells fresher cakes than supermarket chains as I wonder why the price difference! I'm grateful with such a wonderful cake shop in the neighbourhood, La Rocca is always be one of my favourite cake shops!

I tried 2 of their roll cakes and 6 mochi and can confirm that their desserts aren't too sweet. Their mochi is also amazing - delicious flavours and the mochi skin is super thin. I would say it's even better than the infamous Sasaki Pastry in J-Town. Beware that they do run out of stock quickly, so it's best to either order ahead or go early. They also only allow preorders for their pancakes, which I'll do next time! The girl at the counter recommended the Nutella banana mochi, and even though I don't really like Nutella, it might have been my favourite one!! The fruity ones also have real fruit - strongly recommend strawberry and mango.

When I drove here the first time, I used Waze and didn't arrive successfully. Whether using a driving app, such as Google Maps or Waze, it led me to the wrong building. Both referenced building A. The address has this store being a part of building D. It's basically the building across from A, but the east side. In other words, you are driving along the third-last aisle that's parallel to Leslie. Waze has corrected the issue. Google Maps hasn't. Use Waze to get here. There were plenty of parking spots in front of the store. It was shaded there. I backed into a spot both times and walked in. I got a different female staffers on both visits. They were both helpful and warm. I have had the matcha KitKat mochi, which had bits of KitKat. Each mochi is individually enclosed in a box. It feels like opening a jewellery box. The mochi is delicate and a decent size. I am not a huge whipped cream person. However, the KitKat was broken up into two pieces and surrounded by the whipped cream. The filling was amazing! It was light and yummy. The mochi had matcha powder on top. It had a subtle matcha taste. The mochi was delicate, but still strong enough to hold in the filling. It was so soft and almost malleable. It was the best mochi that I have had in eons! This visit, I got a six-pack of these mochi flavours: - Mango - Pineapple coconut - Lychee - Golden kiwi - Nutella banana - Strawberry banana If you get six or more mochi, you save a bit. If you pay with cash, the tax is waived off. The mango mochi was awesome! It had diced mango mixed in with the whipped cream. It was dreamy. I got to sample a strawberry marshmallow bar during my first visit. It's not really a bar. It's more of a square. I loved the strawberry flavour. It was slightly sweet. The marshmallow is an experience. It's not squishy like a typical marshmallow. It's crispy on the outside, but softish and moist inside. It's pretty cool. It's not quite dehydrated, but it's halfway there. I got the honeydew marshmallow bars in a little bag last time. They had a natural sweetness to it thanks to the honeydew. It was so good. This time, I got a jar of strawberry marshmallow bars. They still taste as yummy as the first time I had one. Delicious! I ended up getting a couple of cake rolls during my first visit. Both flavours, the taro lychee and ube coconut, were still available this return visit. I rattled off everything that I had bought the last time that the nice woman during my most recent visit gave me a chocolate Oreo cake on the house. Wow! I wasn't expecting that kind gesture at all. The chocolate Oreo cake is decadent. There's chocolate pudding in the middle that is divine! I loved the other two flavours, but the chocolate Oreo is now my new favourite flavour. This place accepts credit and debit cards as payment methods. I used a credit card both times. You can tip if you'd like. All desserts are slightly sweet, with the mochi being a touch sweeter than the cake rolls. If you are like me who doesn't like overly sugary items, the desserts at this store are for you. This place is such a gem. I originally had one mochi. It was not enough! I wanted more and returned to indulge some more. If you love mochi and unique desserts, like marshmallow bars, come here. You won't be disappointed. (333)

It's basically a gourmet doughnut holes shop, with plenty of fancy coffees and cold beverages to accompany. I wanna say, think Tim's crossed with Starbucks, with the emphasis on the Puffs. The puffs are made to order, with so many flavours to choose from. You can purchase half dozen, dozen, and up, and mix the flavours for each half dozen. We bought a combo box of Oreo and Nutella. You can watch the staff preparing the dough in the kitchen, and while they add your toppings at the counter. Idk if they somehow learned about it being a birthday visit, or this is usual, but we got a baker's dozen. I'll take that puff instead of a cherry on top for sure, because they were delicious. They are on the sweet side. Our drinks were also on the sweet side but delicious. The coffee is freshly ground on order and everything tasted fresh. We both opted for coffee based cold drinks but they have slushees, fruity and I think some tea options. The coffee was nice and strong without tasting bitter. The seating was a little odd, cute little stools in line with the honeycomb decor as opposed to chairs. The space felt really open, like your conversation can be heard all around. It was clean and very spacious. The staff on our visit were great. I would definitely return if it were closer to me, and I will totally check out other locations.

Luckily I was on my way to lunch and their current location was kind of on the way, so stopped by to get a drink.

No posted billboard type menu, but they ask you to scan a QR code that links to it. I'm definitely a latte type of person, so that's what I ended up ordering, even though their pour over menu was so extensive!!! Since they are influenced by Hong Kong coffee culture, I was not surprised to see they had an Ovalpresso Latte (Ovaltine, espresso, milk). I subbed in oat milk for it.

Thoughtful that he thought I may have a lactose intolerance, but I told him that it was just a preference. Still, he started making me a new drink and apologized again. Appreciated that he was all about the principle that I had been charged extra for the alternative, so it wouldn't be right to not remake it correctly. He even told me that I could take the first one as well if I wanted (I declined). The drink was very tasty -- right balance of espresso, milk, and slightly sweet from the flavouring.
