There aren't many dessert shops and chocolatiers in Markham/Scarborough area compared to downtown. For lava cakes and crepes, 0109 is one of the few that offers it in this area. I think 0109 is nice for desserts if you live in the area and you want a break from chinese desserts. However, if I lived in another city, I will not come to Markham/Scarborough area for cakes and crepes.
I came here once when it was really new, it was really long ago. I still remember it was very dark and cozy. But I came back recently and the ambience changed. It is more bright now, looking more casual than before.
Service: Service was great. Servers were attentive and brought water. It also wasn't very busy so it is easy for servers to keep an eye on all tables.
Desserts:
1) Matcha Lava Cake: I was excited to have this. I came on a chilly day and a lava cake was perfect to have on this chilly day. This was very disappointing. The cake was veryy DRY. It was like it was pre-made and then they warmed it up. I had a matcha lava cake before somewhere else at another dessert shop in uptown and it was delicious. But the one here was dry and it wasn't a nice cake in general. The cake also lacks in matcha flavor. I would rate this 2/5
2) Crepe: Lindt chocolate cake with added strawberries and bananas. Plus a scoop of cappuccino gelato. This was decent. I loved the gelato, it stood out from the crepe itself. It had a strong flavor and it was really creamy. I would rate this 3/5
Overall, I am not sure if I would come back for cakes/crepes. Nothing stood out to me to give me a reason to return.
