Review Summary

Cadence Café is widely recognized as a beautifully designed and aesthetically pleasing destination in Chinatown, often praised for its relaxing atmosphere, quality vinyl music, and Japanese-inspired interior. Many visitors enjoy the high-quality matcha, hojicha, and popular items like the shiopan and roll cakes, though opinions on food and drink consistency vary among patrons. While several guests find the service friendly, efficient, and welcoming, others have reported inconsistencies, including slower wait times, forgotten orders, and a perceived lack of warmth from the staff during busy periods. Despite mixed feedback regarding pricing and service speed, the cafe remains a popular spot for those looking to enjoy a slow-living experience or capture trendy photographs in a stylish environment.

Very beautiful decor, but unfortunately, that's it. To say the staff was unfriendly wouldn't be fair, because they greeted us with smiles. But it still felt like there was a lack of professionalism with the service. Ex. The water tank was completely empty so I asked for water. They didn't apologize about the empty tank, & just took the glasses from me & poured tap water in. I don't even know if they tried filling up the tank after either. The food in the display cabinet looked pretty wilted even though it was only 10:40 am, & the shiopan was weirdly very salty. The bun was warm, but the ham cheese filling was cold? Finally, the side tables were also uncomfortable to sit at, because the table feet are right where your feet are positioned. So there was no flat surface I could put my feet on. It's a shame, because a nice cafe in the area would have really brighten up Chinatown.

Le matcha (fraise avec crème au fromage) est correct… le flan un peu moins.

This place is proof that social media influencers should hpdl no weight when considering the quality of a cafe.

The drinks & food here are severely overpriced for what you get. Everything is awfully basic & average: cake roll - 7$, small flan - 6$, the tiniest matcha - 6.5$ (see picture).

Honestly, I didn't tip because we were taking to go, but the demeanor of the barista immediately changed after so. Seriously off-putting.

Lastly, the cafe is just your average cafe. Perhaps the service & overpriced stuff we got just ruined this for us at this point. I've been to Japan, & nothing of this brings me to experience anything from Japan.

I do not recommend this place. Don't waste your time & money to receive bad service here.

Excellent matchas & AMAZING sandwich in a beautifully decorated café! Service was clean & efficient. Highly recommend going to this spot. Very good location as it's not too far from the Palais des congrès, & there was plenty of space when we took a break from comic con. My only small note was that it wasn't clear where to put away dishes.

I was a fan of their other cafés & decided to check this one out & wasn't disappointed! Their Matcha tonic was amazing, & in the morning all of their pastries were super fresh. I really recommend their Miso Sesame cookie! I was kinda apprehensive after seeing some of their earlier reviews but the service was really nice, fast & the staff was very kind! I'll be coming back for sure! The decor of the place is really nice, it's like Osmo x Marusan quality but less crowded, if you know you know.

Lovely interior, I loved it. Only thing I can say was the matcha was just a bit milky, not really the best I have had but the food was okay. I would recommend, other things on the menu might be more of a hit
