4 Best Cafes near Unionville

“I didn't realize there are so many food places in langham square, if you have time make a trip there you won't be disappointed. Right when I came the owner greeted me with a smile, he was telling me he makes all the ice cream from scratch no additives or artificial flavours which I really appreciate it because majority of ice cream has chemicals added into it. What I liked about this place is they don't add much sugar to their ice cream you get the authentic flavour of the ice cream. I got the matcha rolled ice cream on a waffle, I can't believe how light the waffle was it melts in your mouth, and the rolled ice cream was amazing I really get the matcha flavour and the owner said he makes his own matcha which is incredible, it me inside the langham square, luckily it wasn't too busy I only waited ten minutes because he makes everything from scratch, this is what I like about trying new things, the owner is the reason why I'm giving this place 5 stars, super humble and nice, and you just want to keep talking to him.“

“i went on 15-Jan and tenperature was -32 degrees. i walked in around 11, probably as the first customer. i was greeted by 2 people who understood that i came walking, made me comfortable and i had the best latte and banana bread in recent years. Thank you so much for great service and great taste. definitely recommend this place“

“Had their shaved ice combo with dango and tea which was great value! I liked the hojicha and the chewiness of the dango. My only criticism was that while the eyeballs on the ice cream monster were a nice touch, it didn’t taste great haha.“

“After a sat afternoon badminton session, I along w/ my gf and friends were gonna have a chill dinner at Blue Ocean Cafe in the same plaza (New Kennedy Square).When we parked, we noticed that Blue Ocean was absolutely packed so we walked around the plaza and noticed that this resto had replaced Chef Papa Tea & Noodle Bar.Curious, we decided to try it. The interior has remained unchanged. No decor, lighting or layout changes.The food is completely different though. Chef Papa, the predecessor in this unit was a Deer Garden copycat resto. This new resto is very much an HK cafe serving up some fusion dishes as well.Most of us got rice dishes. One of my friends' gf got chicken yakisoba which was just ok. If you come here for dinner I would HIGHLY recommend ordering a rice dish.Red wine braised beef brisket omurice: The brisket was tender, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the egg was the perfect runniness and they give you a GOOD amount of sauce.Curry beef brisket omurice: The curry was tasty and flavourful. The brisket was, again, very tender. Potatoes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.Baked portuguese chicken rice: The chicken was tender and the sauce was interesting. My friend said he wished they topped him off w/ some cheese but usually that's extra so it's fine.Hainanese chicken rice: My friends and I thought this chicken rice was just slightly above avg. For some reason, a lot of ppl I know (outside of my friend group) love to use Phoenix Restaurant as a barometer for good hainanese chicken rice. I highly disagree w/ the notion that their chicken rice is good but if I go along and use them as the measuring stick for avg, I would say this chicken rice is above avg. The rice was properly cooked in the chicken oil but it definitely could've used even more aromatics. I know the community is divided on whether or not the chicken should be boneless for this dish. My friends and I happen to rate it higher when the chicken comes boneless. This one came bone-in so it already didnt go into the top-tier off that factor alone.Pork chop in gravy w/ rice: My friend who ordered this said the pork chop was juicy and not overcooked. He also thought the gravy was better than your typical HK cafe gravy sauce.Fried wings: Yea, the batter was a little too thick and there wasn't enough seasoning on them. But they were juicy and the wings were plump and meaty.Like I said above, the yakisoba was ordinary and not something you should try for a first time. Some other caveats I'd like to point out. The portions are MASSIVE. Part of the reason I'm giving 5 stars is the bang for buck value. For $14.50 or $15.50 (current avg price for a rice dish, at the time of this review), you get a giant rice dish and the quality is strong. The egg for the omurice is also cooked just right and not overdone. The seasoning was on point and food comes out fast as well. I've got a big appetite and even I felt satisfied after eating.I was reading Philip L's review and he mentioned that this spot is actually opened by the same owner of Blue Ocean Cafe (right across the plaza) which is a pleasant coincidence. Imo, this spot totally smokes Blue Ocean out of the water. I awarded Blue Ocean a 3 star rating because there is literally nothing special about it from food to value.One thing they did kinda mess up was our drink orders but that's fine (I ordered a milk tea w/ zero sugar and it came w/ sugar even tho the cup said "no sugar" lol, my friend also didn't order a coke but they brought him one).I will definitely be back. This HK cafe is now on my repeat visit list due to the sheer value.“
