| - Popped in the other day to try out this place after dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. I would say that this is a complementary dessert cafe to the Stay cafe on Spadina, whereas Stay has a lot more fruit-based desserts, e.g. their crushed ice, Light Cafe's menu seems to focus on the sweet and savory.
We ordered the creme brulee trio and the strawberry ice cream waffles. Both were very delicious! However, the creme brulees should be ordered with caution as they are very flavourful and creamy. The trio consists of early gray, dusted coffee, and white chocolate as flavors. Although there isn't a precise way to enjoy this I would go from the dusted coffee and have the Earl Grey last! This is the perfect dish to share with a party of 4 + due to the sheer richness of the dessert.
As for the Strawberry waffles, they were delightful! Super airy and light unlike a Belgian dessert waffle, this is the perfect alternative to a heavier dessert place like La Creperie.
Although I didn't get a chance to experience their drinks, this place is on my regularly to-go place so that I will check those out next time.
Bonus points for the modern, clean, and well-designed interior, much Instagram aesthetic! Probably one of my top places to go on a second date at, or a very prospective first date.
I would have given them 5 stars, but unfortunately, it's cash only thus far, which is kind of silly in 2016.
