Cheesecake Etc. on Urbanspoon

We arrived at the restaurant slightly before midnight. It was really full and busy. Last time we came around the same time, the lineup deterred us and we left. This time, we stuck around, and glad that we did since the wait was barely 5 minutes.

It’s very moody inside, dimly lit with candles on each table. The cafe is quite large, with lots of seating area. Customers are – mostly Asians, with a lot of young Korean and Japanese couples or girlfriends.

It had the right sweetness and the lemonade is refreshing from the creaminess from the cheesecake, as well as from the weather  on a summer night out. The portion is also perfect. Mmmmm cheesecake, fruits and whip cream! You can’t ask for anything better :D I am usually not a cake person, but this is a must try! It makes sense why this place is so popular!

What’s even more interesting is that it’s open till 1am, and many come by that late to eat! 2 thumbs up!

Update

Since then, we’ve been back several times. This time, I ordered something different as I always ordered the original Cheesecake with Strawberries. I got the original with Mocha sauce. (The mocha usually comes with almonds, but because of my nut allergy I had it without) – but the same price though. at $6.67 idearabbit-cheesecakeetc21

Wow! Look at that! Overloaded with sweetness. It was really good, but I had to give the last 1/3 over to Sheepie who has a big sweet tooth. idearabbit-cheesecakeetc22This one doesn’t even look like a cheesecake anymore :P

I keep forgetting that this is the only place I know that charges for hot water with lemon – gotta stop doing that…

Trees Organic Coffee Organic & Roasting House in Yaletown

Trees Organic Coffee (Yaletown) on Urbanspoon

I have been to the one of Granville, but this post will be on the Yaletown location. While Granville one is much more older, and seems like it’s always full, the Yaletown one is quiet, with a modern and clean look. That’s not surprising since every coffee shop that has gone into that location has moved in, and moved out within the several years that I’ve been here in Vancouver. But it seems like Trees Organic is attracting customers to the small corner cafe, so hopefully, it’ll stay there for awhile.

The cafe has lots of glass windows to let in natural light. With the high ceilings, it seems much bigger than it really is.

The staff are friendly, and the furniture are comfy. They are known for their best cheesecake, so I had one too. Unfortunately, I don’t eat a lot of sweets, so the cheesecake was way too sweet for me. I ended up not being able to finish the slice T_T However, it was nicely presented.

I am surprised to find that some people find a slice of cheesecake for $6.99 ‘reasonably priced’.  I find that it’s overpriced for what you get. Unless a friend invites me to go there to eat them, I wont be eating them again anytime soon. However, I’d do tea/coffee anytime at Trees Organic anytime :) Recommend the cafe!
