I always look for awesome coffee wherever I travel and so far I have not found great coffee in Vancouver. I always get a plain latte so I can taste the coffee well. The coffee was very bitter, although not as bad as a couple other places I've tried here in Vancouver. So if you are looking for a flavorful and robust coffee, this is not the place.

I had their Blueberry scone ($4.95) and flat white ($5.10). Scone was not bad. There weren't much pastries to choose from when I was there after 4. Flat white was tiny and tasted bit too bitter for me. There was a washroom on the rear side, but it's only open during business hours. I can only think of 3 stars for overall experience. It was too expensive for just a small pastry and coffee.

A lovely cafe with lots of space/seats…read more Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy anything I ordered but it wasn't bad. It was more about my fussy palate and me being picky. I am not a huge fan of sugar. I got a Gluten free cookie. It was overly sweet for me, I couldn't eat even half of it. I don't think the marshmallows were necessary because it's already so sweet! If you're a sweet tooth and GF, this may be the cookie for you! If it only had half of the sugar, I would've loved it. I also got the matcha latte and didn't like it at all. It was grainy and the foam threw me off. If i'm having a hot beverage with foam, I like the foam to be velvety and silky smooth. But again, that's my personal choice and me being fussy. My colleagues had wraps and one said it was delicious. Service was great. The lovely ladies who served us were friendly.

Such a fun spot for bunch. To start, the building inside and out is stunning. A very cool design…read morelike nothing you've seen before. While there is usually a pretty long wait (even to purchase baked goods), it is worth as long as you order the right things. Their baked goods are definitely the best. Nothing compares to the queen!! It's like a croissant, roll, caramelized sugar masterpiece. Their other baked items vary and are very good. We've also gotten two of their entrees before which we did enjoy. They weren't big portions though for the price point. Con for this place is it is quite expensive. You have to order a lot in order to get full (which is very expensive) and you'd be hard pressed to get back in line to order something additional if you needed. expect to wait at least 15 minutes when the line is "short" and fingers crossed you don't go too late where baked goods are sold out.

Not every retailer offers such. No other milk alternatives besides oat milk. That's fine. My hot espresso mocha latte wasn't to my liking. Maybe this is just me. No cash accepted. I paid by debit card, no problem. During the last few months, I have visited their Polygon location, the GNW coffeehouse now the Surrey Pavilion cafe. All the staff were nice though. Would I seek out visiting this ever popular coffee chain again? My answer would be no when there are many others to pick from.

The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is…read morethe only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. 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!

The Salt level was still a shade low , though better than earlier. the Naan's , 3 x Curries, Raita were all very good -including the onion-pickle combination. The rice was plain rice & I believe this could be enhanced by offering instead a peas or veg pulao. Also a masala papad would be welcome. Overall -one of the best Thali's in Vancouver & Lower Mainland -well presented in sparkling clean, uniquely shaped Stainless steel plates! My daughter had the croquettes - good, corn cutlets which were average in taste as the sauce was mild & bland. (need a fiery sauce to liven up), Tacos -satisfactory. The kids had Cheese toast which was very plain. Just cheese inside. (A slice of tomato, cucumber would enhance the taste). it came with French Fries which was good. The Restaurant is clean, airy , uncluttered with a nice ambience. Service by Ms.Priya was excellent ! The toilets were kept sparkling clean , well stocked & deserve mention. Overall a good experience & we will return again in the near future. Best wishes to the Management for an excellent feeling of comfort.
