Overall - 3.5/5.0
Taiwanese cafe in the heart of Kensington Market just right beside Arctic Bites. This place serves up quite a variety of things from croissants, soups, salads, waffles, crepes to various tea/coffee drinks and smoothies.
Philly Steak Croissant - A heads up that this can get quite messy to eat but overall it was decently executed. The croissant was decent though it could have been a bit more moist and buttery on the inside. I would prefer having less cheese and a bit more onions to cut through the saltiness as the cheese somewhat overtook the rib eye steak. The mango salad as well as the spinach salad were nicely dressed.
Choco-Banana Waffles - The texture of the waffle was quite different. It was more on the stiff and chewy side versus crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. However, it does hold up well with the ice cream as it does not get soggy overtime which is good. Flavour wise, the waffle could have been a bit more intense but perhaps this is how they intended it to be.
Brûlée Latte - This is one item that fell short from the rest. The espresso shot that was pulled is not that intense and the micro foam definitely needed work. Also it came with two arrowroot cookies that was store bought from Mr. Christie which totally dragged down the overall impression.
Service was attentive for the most part and quite friendly.
Decor was quite nice in the front section. It is brightly lit as well as having one wall covered with living plants. I felt the back portion of the cafe was a bit dark and could add in more lighting and decorative items to keep the overall experience consistent.
I would come back to try the other sandwiches as well as their soups.
