Japanese Light Cheesecake

Definitely not my first time at Leisure Tea and Coffee, but always a go to place for me. Owned by a Taiwanese family, they offer a variety of bubble tea, sandwiches, Taiwanese snacks, coffee and tea. I especially love the vintage and artsy environment and decor in the store. And don’t think that it is only a hangout place for teens and young adults because it seems to attract much of the older crowd as well. Here, I decided to try their Japanese Light Cheesecake. It is really fluffy but I guess it’s nothing too special. I would recommend trying their ice cream waffle and most of their drinks are also extremely good.

Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino Ice Cream

Leave a comment

I don’t think we have this in Vancouver yet, but correct me if I’m wrong! Finally got to try the Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino Ice Cream from the States! It’s like Frappuccino drink but in the form of ice cream! So good!! The consistency is great and this mini pint was only 99cents! What a steal! I hope this comes to Vancouver soon! They had other flavours too, like Mocha Frappuccino and Coffee! I hear they have new flavours like Peppermint Mocha too! Got to get my hands on those next time!

Capstone Tea & Fondue

Brrrr… this bizarre cold weather in Vancouver calls for some warm desserts indoors! Capstone Tea & Fondue offers a variety of teas, bubble teas, and of course their famous fondues – chocolate or cheese! Me and my friend shared the Chocolate Fondue Set, which came with Dark Chocolate, Fresh Fruits, Snacks, and 6 Assorted Dipping Ice-cream Balls. I love the ice cream balls since the outside is covered in warm chocolate when you dip it in, and then it reveals the cold ice cream. Love it! This came to around $20. They also have an All You Can Eat Chocolate Fondue for $7.95 per person, but each person has to purchase a drink, so if you don’t eat a lot, I guess it isn’t that worth it. Capstone is on Robson, past the retail shops, also near WE. Coffee that I’ve mentioned before in my posts. Great place to chill indoors with some tasty desserts!

WE. Coffee

Leave a comment

If you go down a little further past the retail shops at Robson, you’ll see WE. Coffee. It’s a little cafe that serves freshly roasted coffee, panini, croissant sandwiches, as well as their famous waffles and other cakes and desserts. I tried the Cappuccino as well as the Strawberries and Ice Cream Waffle here. The waffles were made perfectly with a golden crisp and the environment is very modern. They also offer magazines so you can read while you eat and chat with friends. Definitely a great hangout place for a small snack and drink!
