Very cozy location! Dumplings were delicious, my favorites were the kung pao chicken. I also ordered a pumpkin latte that featured real pumpkin, it was amazing! Highly recommend!

staff was nice, but this isn’t for you if you’re a coffee enthusiast
A delightful cafe! Quiet and cozy. The coffee is delicious, the staff friendly and happy to help. Will definitely be back soon to try all the dumplings! Love that they have options to take away frozen dumplings and bao as well.
The only downside of this place is that we simply do not live close enough.
It is very cute and cozy, the service is great, and the food we tried and lattes we had were high-quality. We sat for a while to work and were quite comfortable.
We were lucky to have stopped in and will be back in the future!

I am absolutely delighted with this coffee shop! It’s incredibly cozy and quiet, which is perfect for working in a peaceful atmosphere. The staff is very pleasant and attentive, and our drinks were prepared quickly and tasted amazing. The cute messages on the cups were a delightful touch that really brightened my day. The free Wi-Fi is an added bonus, making this place even more convenient for work and relaxation. A wonderful place, highly recommended!

I had a delicious morning sandwich and a cup of coffee. It wasn't crowded and had light background music that made it easy to talk. Very enjoyable morning, well recommended!

We came in after church with my family and it was perfect. Chill vibe. They were very attentive and everything tasted good. Omg it was my first time trying FroYo and it was delicious!! This is our new Sunday getaway spot!

Food is so good. You'll have to wait a while to get serviced though. Everytime I've come here there has been a wait. I don't mind the wait since I always bring my book here and it can get busy on weekends.

Ordered a hot matcha latte. Taste wasn’t too bad but the texture was powdery and gritty. Got an avocado egg and cheese croissant… Looked cooked from the outside but on the inside there was some gooey raw egg whites. Service was REALLY slow. Took nearly 40minutes for my friend and I to get our food and it wasn’t even busy!

Cute, cozy spot in the Kentlands. I got the Iced Sakura matcha latte, bbq pork bao and kale and mushroom bao- everything was delicious! Unique menu items, laid back vibe. Highly recommend.

Something about this small cafe feels right. It's comfy and cozy. The service is straightforward and welcoming without being solicitous or phoney. The caramel machiato was good. Balanced. My veggie dumplings were fresh tasting and yummy. I will probably be back soon to read and of course, drink coffee. I love all the books and laid back vibes. Good experience.

Genuinely confused by this place. The worker (assuming the owner) had spread herself over a large table with a large glass of tea and her laptop. My girlfriend and I had the option of a small table and were given small paper cups of water, one of which had some little bits floating in it. Our food was not bad, though I do wonder why, with a counter top piled high with steamers, that my dumplings (gummy texture), were microwaved and sticking to the paper plate I was given. She cooked waffles one at a time and would place the completed waffled on top of the waffle maker while making the next one. If you look around the small dining area, you get a good feeling of claustrophobia because it looks like a messy arts and crafts station which adds to the already cramped feeling. I do believe that they forget the "book" portion of their name because there was one small shelf shoved next to the bathroom door and no other books. Don't really plan on coming back which is a shame because I had so hoped this place would be good.

Went here to check it out based on great reviews. Ordered a cappuccino and it was not good. It was made very quickly so I knew right away it was not done correctly. The temp was not hot, mostly all milk, no foam and very light on espresso. The atmosphere was strange, it seemed like it was a storage area and the frozen dim sum looked unappealing. The worse part is the scent.. it had a funky smell like it was unkept. I was here years ago when they had a different owner and the food was amazing. The freshly made waffles with fresh strawberries and the Kim chi fried rice was to die for. I won’t be back unless there’s a change.
