Yama Cafe is a charming Japanese restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. Located a 20-minute bus ride from downtown, the cafe boasts a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with a focus on attention to detail. The menu features a range of delicious offerings, including the popular matcha latte and strawberry latte, which reviewers have praised as some of the best in North America. The chef's expertise is evident in the thoughtful pairings and the care put into each dish, such as the slow-cooked Omega-3 poached eggs.
Customers have commended the cafe for its warm, welcoming, and family-oriented atmosphere. The interior offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the owners, and the staff are described as friendly, kind, and fast. The restaurant is known for its wide selection of vegan and gluten-free options, all of which are made with love and attention to detail. Reviewers have particularly enjoyed the delicious desserts, including the daifuku, and the beautiful brunch presentations.
While the wait can be moderate, the restaurant is perfect for those seeking a leisurely morning. The option to enjoy drinks on the outdoor patio is also appreciated, although the tight indoor space may present some accessibility challenges.
