Pannekoek are like pancakes without leavening agents. Their texture is similar to French crepes without the crispiness. We don't typically go for Dutch-style brunch but Angelina's Dutch Corner definitely gave us a positive experience. It is a little expensive close to $20 per person with drink, but the large portion definitely make up for the expense. For my savory pannekoek, the hollandaise sauce did a lot of heavy lifting to keep things interesting.
We have not had the chance to try their original location in Richmond, but L'OTUS Cake Boutique in Burnaby is such a pleasant surprise for us. Yes, the price is a little higher, but it's really worth the visit with all things considered. The atmosphere, service, and food quality are all at a superb level. We highly recommend L'OTUS Cake Boutique for anyone who hasn't tried it.
It was a little disappointing to see Mr. Mastache is making mistakes on the pearls, which is the most rudimentary part of a bubble tea shop. However, the quality of the cakes still cannot be ignored. The interior space feels very cozy, and the staffs are friendly. Mr. Mastache is not a low-cost spectrum among the bubble tea stores we have in Vancouver. I particularly like the fact that they are not part of any franchise, and they can really be a life-saver when someone needs to get a small-portioned cute little cake.
