Delicious! We had BBQ Bao, grilled cheese and bubble tea with popping boba. Such a cute spot with a chill vibe. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Great place to slow down a bit and enjoy.
Been coming here frequently for the past year. The baos are $3.50 and I think that's a very reasonable price.
They're always fresh and hot and super fluffy. I only wish they have more variety for the buns as everytime I come (around 9:30am) they only offer BBQ pork or chicken & shrimp at that time. I wish they have the pork and veggie bun in the morning. The other items are a bit on the pricier side but you can feel that they use good ingredients. I really like their blue horizon smoothie, the turkey sandwich, and their grilled cheese sandwich. Usually I get one drink and one sandwich and I pay around $18 after tax and tips.
As for coffee they're a slight bit more expensive than a certain franchise. But if you think about it, the franchises are such a big companies they have way more wiggle room for prices yet they STILL charge a lot for a cup of coffee and people are still willing to pay, whereas little cafes around the city that offer quality items are trying to survive and people complain about their prices? Many other cafes charge extra for dairy alternatives as they DO cost more, so I don't see anything wrong with that. Let's support local businesses!
I haven't had any problems with services, they've always been courteous. Even when it gets busy and there's only one staff, they're still very nice. I also love the atmosphere and the overall vibe of the hood and the customers. I really hope this place will stay for many years.

My go to place since 2017! Love this little spot. A good variety of food, desserts, baked goods, coffee, bubble tea, and other beverages. Staff are super friendly, and the owner Corina is super nice!
Ordered a too good to go package($22 value) got 2 small drinks value around $6. If I was going to pay regular price I would have gotten what I wanted for the same money instead of 2 of the unwanted flavors.
Customer service 10/10. The sweetest lady that took our order was very nice 😊. Drinks also 10/10 Mango Slush and Lychee GT with pearls were so refreshing 🤍
Interesting little cafe in a very special and unique community, very fitting! I drive on Victoria very often so this cafe wasn't a "hole in the wall" - off the radar sort of establishment.
It's located on the southern corner of the Victoria Diversion, flanked by Commercial St. Wedged shaped corner building.
The decor inside was very homey and we'll thought out. It reminded me of a humble east-van non-pretentious cafe that welcomes everyone! There were green plants and big windows that allowed for a lot of natural light. The store really pushed the green/environmentally friendly concept - bring your own bubbletea cups/paper straws...
There were three people ahead of me in line. I ordered a deluxe pork bao bun, and at the recommendation of staff a regular size Taro bubbletea/boba. I waited maybe 3~ minutes - fairly quick!
The bun was warm, bubbletea was cool - no ice which is nice. The bun was delicious as the bao was fluffy and light but upon biting in there wasn't much filling. And the bubbletea not overly sweet and had lots of natural flavour - did not taste artificial. I liked how the drink did not include ice to water down the fragrant flavour.
Price is a bit on the higher side, but I can understand why. Overall, I would return again.
Please see my pics!

Cute little cafe that serves a variety of smoothies, bubble teas, and snacks. I’ve had a few of their smoothies and enjoyed all of them. Staff are very friendly. Decor is adorable and gives the place a nice, cozy feel. It is a lot quieter than most cafes - great for studying or getting work done. I walk past this place regularly and have to say the owners did a great job fixing it up - there is even some seating outside.
