| - Still part of my exploration of new eateries around the York Region area, I was dying to go to a new cafe/coffee house besides the traditional Tim Hortons or Starbucks. My friend suggested BB Cafe in Richmond Hill, to which I agreed.
Upon entering the actual building itself, the parking entrance is actually in between BB Cafe and another building beside it, and the parking is at the back. It is a little bit deceptive, but if you drive slowly, you should be able to spot it. There's plenty of parking spots at the back.
Entering the cafe, you have two entrances. One at the side, and one in the front. We entered through the front and my first impressions were great. When you enter from the side, you have the display for sweets, pastries, cakes, and where you pay. By the front entrance, you have a fireplace, and a few tables and chairs. There's also more room upstairs, and if you must know, the washroom is downstairs by the side entrance.
We sat down, and one of the staff members brought the menu. After glancing through the menu, which I believe it was not overwhelming, I decided to try the Marakesh mint iced tea, and a slice of their coffee cake. We did not have to wait long, and upon taking a bite out of the coffee cake, and sipping the tea, my taste buds were in heaven. It could not get any better than that. They have a lot of traditional Persian teas, and next time, I will try something different.
They also do catering, in the sense that they bake cakes, and one can order a custom one, or a pre-made one.
That being said, one star is docked off, as they could keep the place a little bit cleaner. There were some cobwebs by the window sill, and the tables could have been cleaned. We had to inform them about the table being cleaned.
Overall, customer service and the food/drink items were great, and I can definitely see myself coming back here.
