Every time I come here, the atmosphere is great - cozy space, clean, and cute decorations. I love the bone china that they serve their hot coffee in. Their coffee selections are great; my favourites are the Mandeling and the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. They have their own small roaster and the cafe has a great fresh-roasted coffee scent.
Their service is always thorough and great, which I truly appreciate as someone from the same industry.
I don't know about their cake and where they are from, but if it is from Diplomat Bakery, I am happy with that; they have great cakes. :-)
Everybody wanted to hang out when we got back home, most of all H’s mom. We went to Cafe Savoureux, one of her favourite spots in Richmond to relax with a cup of coffee:. We had a piece of the chestnut cake and a blueberry cheesecake. The chestnut cake was average, I wouldn’t go back for it, but the cheesecake was bomb! Would highly recommend. I had it with the Naporitano (an Americano with lemon), which was another first… Not sure if it’s traditionally made that way, but I quite enjoyed it. It reminded me of the time we had espresso and tonic water in Nanaimo. H’s mom had the latte. H had a pourover (not pictured), which he didn’t complain about. Apart from the really great cake, the shop was cozy but not overcrowded on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I think it does get much busier in the evenings, when the cravings for something sweet kick in.
My wife and I have frequented here several times and we really like the place. There are few coffee shops in Richmond where you can sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee, or tea, and dessert in a quaint and quiet setting. The place is rather small however, not a lot elbow room. Nonetheless, recommended
