7 - 4300 Kingsway, Burnaby
I had always wanted to make it to Moment Dessert House for their wide selection of elaborate, Asian inspired desserts, but definitely in a better circumstance! As it happened, I found myself right by Moment when my car broke down, and I needed a place to wait for my parents. So I went inside to pass the time and try to enjoy myself while I waited, and my mood improved drastically! At approximately 2:30 in the afternoon, Moment was surprisingly empty, except for two girls sitting at a back table on their laptops. Typically places like this are usually packed with people hanging out or studying, and I came to the conclusion that it was because it was such a beautiful day that no one wanted to be indoors, which totally makes sense. The interior was super cute, and reminded me of Fondway, Cafe Joie and Camellia - all of which are also in Burnaby. There were cute decorations and plenty of seating space, making it a super ideal study spot if you ever find yourself in the area. It is a way's away from Metrotown, so not entirely accessible unless you're ready to walk or bus from Metrotown. However, the selection of desserts and drinks were really good. I had the classic milk bubble tea (which was served in a cute mason jar!) and a matcha cake. The bubble tea was pretty good and was thankfully not too sweet but also not bitter either. I was slightly disappointed at the cake - all of the cakes/pastries were on the pricier end and were extremely small, and in particular this matcha cake was really small. I did appreciate the spacious interior, how good everything tasted, and how polite and friendly the girl behind the counter was. She really made a bad day much better!

Located just a 3 minute walk from Royal Oak skytrain station in Burnaby, Ki Tea House and Cafe sits next to small cafe and is by far the cutest things on this block. With it's sweet and minimalist interior and a love for all things anime, what drew me in was the sweet smell of pastries and waffles. Similar to that of Belgian waffles, this new phenomenon of waffles as desserts defies the breakfast food. My friend ordered a simple strawberry waffle, which was topped with strawberries, syrup, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream - perfect on a sunny day! Ki Tea House and Cafe offers other waffle flavours, along with little cakes and desserts and bubble tea. A perfect for a little dessert break! |
