Fondway Cafe - Burnaby

The best cafe in and around Metrotown with amazing staff. Thank you for the delicious food, coffee, and the surprise waffle treat. I love this place and the staff who work there. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

The fruit pie was delicious! This is a wonderful spot to spend a rainy afternoon.

The best fruity tea I've had! : Nice people, nice setting. Haven't tried their snacks yet, but looks good.

I am on an adventure-seeking for the best roll cakes, and now I have tried quite a few. Finally, I found one that is addicting. It is located in Burnaby, very close to the Metrotown SkyTrain station. Can you guess which one is it? Keep reading to find out about this not-too-hidden hidden gem. Once you step out the Metrotown SkyTrain station, head towards the Beresford Street. There you can find this hidden gem – Fondway Cafe. It is a photogenic cafe that has opened for many years, and they offer an extensive menu of drinks and food. But what really got my attention is the new series of dessert, roll cakes! You can expect surprises because they offer different flavors and cakes every day. You may have to test your luck to try the same cake again.

Please do not listen to any person who does not have the time to wait for anything they have. If you want New York style cheesecake this isn't here... it's better. NY style is so heavy and firm it's actually quite gross, I hate making it. As a baker I was impressed with the lemon cheesecake and the Minty Gunpowder (green) tea was and excellent accompaniment to it. The atmosphere is wonderful and smelling everything I could tell it was homemade and fresh. They even let me sample a bit of belgium waffle. Theirs isn't as crisp as a true belgium but you can taste the love and the buttermilk, the icing sugar is just right, not gooey tasting with sauce. The loose teas in the store are great quality and give the air of uniqueness that you can go and sniff all of the sample jars if you like. I sat at the bench at the window, would love however to have more chairs that have backs.. For the food, it is excellent, I will be returning. Also purchased a savory pastry to go and it was really hard for me to share it when I got back home.
