We dropped in around 1:30. The place was empty. The decor has a quaint, dated grandmother’s house feel to it. The lady working there was very friendly. We ordered the quiche and soup. There was a vegetarian and regular quiche option. I think it was $11.95. I do think crackers should come with the soup. The food tasted good. The lady working there, looks like she’s working alone. I do think that if you order food and someone comes in to get pastries then she gets busy with them and you have a longer wait for your food. We then bought 2 date squares and 2 sugar free apple strudels. The strudels were $6 each and date squares $6.55 each. I don’t like that some of the pastries didn’t have a description card and there were no prices. There should be cards with descriptions and prices. Or a menu board on the wall with the prices. Plus the receipt just had the total and no itemized list of the stuff ordered.
There were some ladies coming in to do high tea. This is a place geared more toward women get togethers. My hubby was still
hungry after he ate. I might return in the future for the takeout pasteries.

I previously posted a negative review, i have since deleted it.
I think the reason why it didn't taste very good was because i didn't chill the cake in the fridge long enough,
I just ate some left overs that i kept in the fridge over the weekend and it tasted much better compared to when i just bought it.
I apologize for the review i wrote on impulse.

Wonderful warm place to sit and enjoy great food with good friends. Feels like your own dining room.
The owner Vivian is very accommodating and friendly and comes to the table to chat with the regulars.
The servers too are all so efficient and friendly.
We visit this cafe regularly ...no other place feels like home as this.
Worth checking out.
Good place. Nice cozy cafe and just wish it was only open later. Friendly staff.
First time checking out this Nice and Cozy Cafe. Front counter staff was welcoming with big smiles.
I'm definitely coming back here for their yummy desserts !!
Rudest people ever!
My family’s favourite cake is Gerhard’s sake torte, however, they recently removed the sake torte from their online ordering system as not enough people were ordering this fantastic cake. I called the café and spoke to Vivian and she was very nice and was willing to take a custom order for the sake torte. But they don’t keep sake in stock anymore, so she offered to purchase a small bottle of sake for me to use to make the cake and I can pay for and keep the rest of the bottle, which I was completely fine with! I got the cake and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you Vivian and Gerhard’s team!
Love the Strawberry miringue cake, took my mum here for mother's day High tea, it is a nice vitnage British atmosphere and very cozy.
This place has been around for a long time. I remember coming here when I was in high school, around 30 years ago. In October we forgot to order a cake for my mother's birthday and looked around for a place nearby. We actually had no idea how the cake would be, but to our surprise our picky mother loved it. We got the Black Forest cake and it was absolutely delicious. We loved everything about it. A month later was my sister's birthday so we got a different cake from there (see photo). Once again it was delicious. Not too sweet like supermarket cakes but with the right sweetness. Cakes these days are mostly made of cream but these cakes have the right amount of cream and sponge. It's now our go to place for birthday cakes. I'd like to sit down in the cafe one day for tea/coffee and dessert. The staff were very friendly and even though I came a bit earlier than the promised time, it was already ready for me. The pickup process was really smooth. (We ordered online).

Grabbed a cup of coffee today and the lady at the counter is just awesome. She made sure my coffee was perfect. Smiling and caring person
Quaint and charming bakery with amazing cake skills to back it up! I highly recommend the Sake Torte, which marries chocolate and sake together perfectly! Any of their cakes are solid choices, must try!!
