Is Honolulu Coffee Worth the Price? A Cafe Guide
I stopped by Honolulu Coffee today, the one located at 888 Nelson Street, tucked right...
Dessert Shop
Mon Paris Patisserie
We were excited to try Mon Paris Patisserie after 3 years they have been open. The store is beautifully setup with display that just works. We really enjoyed the croissant, but think the cake can use some work. Next time we will come for the bonbons, macaron and Chocolate double baked with hazelnuts croissant. Mon Paris Patisserie is fairly priced. Even though I think the cake needs improvement, I'm sure there are customers who find the cake just perfect.
Minus Cake Boutique
Minus Cake Boutique makes really good cakes and drinks. Having a cake on top of the drink is a new concept we have not seen before. The combo makes cakes and drink cheaper by $0.50, but it is still very expensive. We would really recommend Minus Cake Boutique, but it is more of a place for special occasion rather than our default go-to cake shop.
toptable2u high-end restaurants delivery for your COVID-19 dine-in
We had a very good overall experience with TopTabl2U. Regardless of the heavy slash in price, the execution from ordering, delivery, and cooking instructions are all very simple and professionally done. Our delivery person was polite and punctual. He called me 5 minutes before arrival so I know what to expect. There was no unpleasant surprise and I assume this small detail reduces the potential delay for each of his delivery. The pre-processed ingredients are tasty and eliminated much of the time for cooking, which gives me confident and make my cooking experience quite pleasant. We would recommend TopTable2U to anyone who is unable to go to restaurants due to either COVID-19 or having young children at home.
L’OTUS Cake Boutique Burnaby
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.
Mr Mustache Tea and Dessert in Burnaby
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.
Snow Angel Cafe Extravagant Korean Dessert in Burnaby
Snow Angel Cafe may not have a business philosophy, but they really captured the heart of many customers with their beautifully presented desserts. Everything we have ordered was created with a very high standard that they don't just taste good, but also very exciting to look at. I know their bingsoos are also very beautiful but didn't have a chance to try them during this visit. We would definitely come back for it.
The highest quality soy dessert in Richmond
Soy Talk is our new favorite soy dessert place in town. Differ from most soy dessert places where the soy pudding is cured using corn starch and gypsum powder (yes, the stuff in your wall), the ones served at Soy Talk are made using the traditional, healthier way. The soy milk also tastes at least 3 times thicker than the diluted ones. The cost of $9.50 for the signature dessert is fair for the food quality. We have no problem recommending Soy Talk to health conscious foodies.
My Frosty, Korean Dessert Cafe
My Frosty's bingsoo has very high quality in terms of flavour and insulation of the shaved ice. A lot of the other bingsoo I have tried elsewhere have the ice melting as soon as it's made. My Frosty's shaved ice retained its form. It took me 12 minutes to finish my bingsoo, and the shaved ice remained reasonable flakiness until the end. A large bingsoo cost $14, and I would recommend this to everyone. Just make sure you don't come here when they're busy.
