    Expensive and not tasting good. I recommend McDonalds or Tim Hortons or fancy Starbucks. However,if you just want to get a bright and quiet place to sit down and to steal some wifi, it's an option.

    I love this location. Very organized , very neat, very bright, good wifi, nice tables and comfortable for studying. The staff are so nice and kind. Also they have such good sound tracks. Their Vanilla Latte is so good. Their coffee is good; if you are a coffee lover you can totally tell that the coffee they serve has a good quality.

    This has probably became my go-to coffee shop in Richmond as I work there. I always get the Mocha frappe, preferring milk chocolate with an ice-cream base and no whip cream and it doesn't disappoint every time. I tried their banana bread which was quite good too. The only drink I didn't enjoy was the Cookie frappe, although, it might be just preferences as it was too bitter for my liking. Otherwise, it was okay. If you are a fan of frappes, go on a Friday as it is only half a prize (SUMMER TIME ONLY). The staff is accommodating. Upon entering the premises, you are usually greeted with a warm smile. Pretty stable wifi, always loved the vibe in here. Maybe, I should step out of comfort zone and try other items on the menu. But I am definitely an avid customer of this cafe.

    I'll give Waves Coffee House 4 stars for the location! This store is right in the heart of Richmond. Right off the end of the Skytrain this Waves Coffee is spacious and well lit. Food and coffee here is run of the mill. Nothing special. Nothing to write home about. One has to wonder how this place makes any money! It seems as if this places is filled with coffee nursing students. 1 coffee and a snack is good for them. They rest of the time they're there to socialize or do homework.

The lady that manages the cafe was always welcoming every time we visited. We were blown away by how flavorful it tasted, the taste along with the sweetness was very balanced, just soothing and comfortable every time we sipped on it. However, after coming back a few times, we found that Mycoffee lacks consistency with their items. we really couldn't taste what we had for the first time anymore.

    This stall has been around for many years in Landsdowne mall so I thought it would be a a good…read morealternative to my regular Grill King (another stall at lansdowne). Now I had nothing against this place personally but after this, it's become personal. They advertise a Hong Kong milk tea which was exactly what I was craving all morning and the best way to wake me up. What I got instead, was a steeped orange pekoe or English breakfast tea with STEAMED MILK. I don't know if you know how Hong Kong milk tea should taste but this was not it. Hong Kong milk tea has a very strong and distinct taste and it is paired with evaporated milk...this was not that. When I drink Hong Kong milk tea I don't want to taste any water content. I want the tea to punch me in the face and wake me up. what I got, was a diluted tap on the shoulder. I have nothing against the tea itself, This was simply false advertising. The owner was fully aware that they d don't offer milk tea and yet they continue to serve whatever this was... Will I ever come back? No. Did I get a Starbucks on the way home because of this place and waste another five dollars? maybe. am I a morning person? definitely not.

Their cake's presentation caught my eye and felt like I wanted to buy them all. This time, I heard that they started selling breads, such as loaf and salt bread. So, I got Truffle salt bread and Pistachio loaf. Pistachio loaf was very fluffy, soft texture, and light pistachio filling , which was very good. Truffle salt bread flavor was not really strong, and I thought their bread texture needs a bit more refinement. I would like to try different flavor of loaf next time. And definitely, I will try different new cake line-up.

The customer service was very helpful in suggesting me some decaf options. I had a berry cheesecake and my friend got the mocha one. The mocha one definitely tasted much more like mocha than the berry one tasted like berry so I'd recommend that one over the berry. Unfortunately, the osmanthus oolong tea I got tasted nothing like osmanthus and just like green tea, I'd skip that next time. While it's a bit pricier than other cafés I've been to, I saw they had a wide selection of fluffy loaves and individual round cakes with some unique flavours like lychee osmanthus (~$13 which could be shared).

There's parking available for the building and a QR code in store to register for free parking. It's also a really short walk from Richmond Center and the skytrain so overall a super convenient location. The store is heavily advertising their matcha so I ordered a matcha fusion. The employees were super helpful with helping me pick a drink and informing me of all their combos and deals. They have a very large menu so there's something for everyone. We visited on a weekend and it was busy but still has seats available. It's a very spacious place (much larger than Miion next door). I also wanted to ask about Lion Travel tour packages in Taiwan. It's so convenient to have these services together. The Lion Travel agent was also super helpful with sharing information about their available packages and was able to email me all the information. Overall a very pleasant visit!!

    This place has been around for many years but I've only now gotten around to trying it…read more It's a cute little place. The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.
