    Delicious food and super friendly service. The strawberry mochi pancakes and the ikura cheese toast were both phenomenal. It's a family friendly space and the menu options are great. The kinako soy latte, black sesame latte, and the matcha latte are all beautifully crafted and always a hit!

    Tried SCENIC Coffee + Brunch for the first time and was drawn in by their creative menu. I ordered a black sesame latte, which had a rich, nutty flavour and was presented beautifully. For brunch, I had the Yuzu Eggs Benedict: onsen eggs over a homemade southern biscuit, topped with yuzu miso hollandaise, and served with a crisp house salad and creamy Japanese potato salad. I added halloumi on the side, which gave a nice salty contrast to the bright, citrusy sauce. The biscuit held up well under the toppings, and the eggs were perfectly soft and runny. I also shared the strawberry mochi pancakes. They were soft and slightly chewy from the mochi, with strawberry compote, matcha cream, and toasted almonds adding sweetness and texture. The café is clean, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the dishes bring together flavour combinations you won’t find in many brunch spots. For me, it’s a 3.5-star experience, but I’ll round it to 4 for the creativity and presentation.

    Leo is awesome and so is this place. Came Monday for brunch wiith my mom and daughter. Prices reasonable and the food was great. We ordered: hojicha latte, cappuccino, matcha latte, ham and cheese sando, black sesame French toast, strawberry mochi pancakes with matcha cream, side of pemeal bacon, side of spam to share. Portions were generous with 3 large French toast pieces stuffed with black sesame. Wasn't too sweet and I didn't need syrup. It was perfect. 3 Mochi pancakes were nice and chewy, strawberry sauce not overly sweet and matcha cream was a great accompaniment. Ham and brie sandwich was huge. We're not a fan or Dijon in general and found that it overpowered the sandwich. Next time we'll ask to remove it. Homemade blueberry jam was delicious. Hojicha latte was so comforting and flavorful. Love the roasted flavor. Matcha latte was also great. Not overly sweet or bitter. We will definitely be back for more!!!

    Black Sesame French Toast was so good and paired well with Black Sesame Latte! Highly recommend these. The Eggs Benedict was good but very mild in flavour. I would try something else next time. Lovely waitress, quaint cafe and excellent service. Definitely a hidden gem

    Been here twice with my partner, food is great and service is kind. They have great drip coffee so I recommend that as well as their yuzu egg benedict’s, the hollandaise is really great with the yuzu flavour, I always get halloumi cheese but they have plenty of meat options as well. the salads that’s come with the bennys are really great as well, I like the asian style dressing compared to typically vinaigrettes at other brunch spots and that they have a potato salad. I’ve tried the strawberry pancake before and that was good, can’t really go wrong with with a fluffy pancake. My partner had the burger and said that was good as well.
