Charisma Social Club House

Absolutely delightful experience at this cafe! The club sandwich was incredibly tasty - a perfect blend of flavors that left me craving more. And their cheesecake selection is a cheesecake lover’s dream come true! So many tempting options to choose from, each one more delicious than the last. A must-try for anyone who appreciates good food and a cozy atmosphere.

First time coming here. The place was empty. You order online. They won’t even come to the table to explain things to you. You go up to the front they give you instructions to order online. Then you wait for the drinks and food to come out. The service didn’t even come to check on us. Once all your food and drinks are serve they will get you to pay for the order then. The bubble tea I had was great but I hate using paper straws so bring your own straw if you have it. The food was okay nothing special.

Nice little cozy spot to hang out with friends with good seating inside. Owner is a friendly and personable. They have alcohol license here so they serve some fun cocktails and alcoholic bubble tea! I didn’t try it but maybe next time. Food and value here are okay, nothing spectacular but some fun options.

Ordered food to go, but decided to dine in for croissant crawl, pre-ordering the ham and cheese mochi and almond double bake special items, and Belgian chocolate mocha as a drink.

Owner was working front of house as staff were off for Rememberance Day. He was doing his best on his own despite a heavy flow of customers and the Cafe website being down due to web traffic. He remained professional, attentive and methodical.

Croissants were crisp and fluffy with decent size and filling. Mochi brings a sweet edge to the savory combination of ham and cheese, reminiscent of mozzarella but somehow lighter. The almond and crisp flake of the croissant complement the gentle sweetness of the double bake.

Belgian mocha flowed smoothly, leaving no bitter trace of darker (or burnt) roasts, with creamy notes of the chocolate and milk accented by the right amount of tartness from the cocoa powder.

Aesthetic of the Cafe itself is modern with warm colors. A few art pieces and sculptures, while nice independently, don't harmonize well with the overall impression, making them stand out in an odd way. Doesn't change the excellent food and drink quality.

A worthwhile visit despite the staff shortage.

Mint Chocolate Shake and Grill Cheese are my favorite's. The owner treat me so good that I always have time to come back here and well rested.

A few of us came here for a early evening snack. We ordered various bubble teas and a few snacky dishes. Even though we were the only ones in the restaurant, the server insisted that we place our order online. We couldn’t understand why, and when we were ready to pay, he gave us a discount cuz we ordered on line.

Ambiance: 4/5 – clean and pleasant environment
Food: 4/5 – good selection of bubble teas and snacks. We ordered fries, chicken tenders, and deep fried gyoza. All were tasty.
Service: 4/5 – pleasant & friendly server who encouraged us to order the appies to get a discount
Parking: 3/5 – metered parking on the street. Can be a challenge to find
Location: 3/5 – location just steps from T & T near the roundabout
Value: 3/5 good value

Honestly, I didn’t expect this food should be good after I reviewed all the reviews here, and I realized this place has been underrated. The food is amazingly and unexpectedly delicious! Especially the lobster bisque! I have to say it’s the best lobster bisque in Vancouver!
