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.

A new café that just opened in Chinatown, right next to Metro Place-d'Armes. The interior is a lovely blend of contemporary minimalism with a retro-industrial twist.

The drinks menu focuses on coffee & Japanese teas, alongside Japanese pastries like salt breads, sweet rolls, & cake rolls. We ordered the latte, hojicha latte, & the flan pudding. The drinks were refreshing, though the hojicha latte could have been a touch richer & creamier.

A nice addition to the area - a good spot to catch up with friends, study, or get some work done.

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.

Aesthetic & cute coffee shop. Really good matcha without sweetener as they use Hokusan like their other branch Osmo x Marusan, you can really taste the matcha powder's quality. Service is really fast as their matcha is premade in a squeeze bottle. Standard roll cake. Good spot for Insta pics, hanging out with a friend, & working or studying for an hour max (really busy & noisy during peak times, loud music as well).

I really enjoyed the roll cake & matcha. I ordered the shio pan for takeout. The service is a bit cold though when customers say thank you, the staff can at least smile or say you're welcome & not just look pissed off at their job.

Walked by & spotted this gem. It was a nice reward after waiting to apply for a new passport honestly lol. Matcha latte was great, the roll cake was really delicious, the cream wasn't too sweet & it was the right amount. The Shio Pan was a highlight, haven't had one since my trip to Japan few years back & it brought me back. The eggs salad was missing something..maybe it needs a little kick? Either way, it was a nice pair up with the bread. Definitely will come back for the shio pan.

Good luck & all the best!
