| - I came here on a Saturday night with 4 of my friends and expected it to be busy, which it was. It had been really hyped up by some of my friends, so I went in with high expectations. Unfortunately, this cafe did not live up to them.
Management: we walked in and had no idea where the line was and there was no one to direct us either. After asking a few people, we figured it out and then started to wait for our turn. After we ordered, we didn't know where to wait as no prompts were given.
Service: when we got there, the cashier didn't speak English very well so we had to point to the picture and use gestures before she got our order. We also asked for lids for our dessert but she gave me everything but that 3 times before I finally pointed at it directly.
Cleanliness: the tables were all full and the seats were all taken by people who didn't even order anything so we couldn't sit down. The tables that were empty were all dirty so we didn't want to sit there. The washroom also had toilet paper on the floor and water everywhere so it was really slippery.
Our group only got the following item:
1. Raspberry bonbon ($13.99): there were raspberries with (what looks like) house-made whip cream and some raspberry slush at the bottom. It was way too sweet - the raspberries, cream, and the slush. Didn't enjoy eating it either as it melted pretty quickly and became a slushy mixture that didn't look appetizing anymore. The price tag is way too high for what you get. When I showed a picture and asked my friends who didn't go, how much they thought it was, I got between $7-$9 at most.
Overall, the wait for an overpriced and overly sweet dessert is not worth it. The management was mediocre and the cleanliness and service were way below average. I'm giving it 2 stars because of the novelty but I wouldn't be surprised if it dies down in the future.
