Hardwok Cafe

After walking past this place over the last three years I decided to finally stop in. After we entered it felt like a whole different space compared to outside. They helped us right away and had a lot of different offerings. I was really in the mood for something hot pot style and they recommended this Taiwanese dish. It was so delicious. It had meat, tofu, fish balls, and other things that I don’t know what they were. I will come back for sure. I also want to try some of their milk drinks and potted plant drinks.

I visited this shop because I saw a friend post a picture of an amazing beautiful sweet dessert. The picture did not even half the justice that enjoying the food in person did. The shopkeepers are friendly and offer samples occasionally. They're really good at explaining everything on the menu and what to expect or asking you what you might like while making good recommendations. At first I tried though fresh watermelon drink which is essentially a watermelon squeezed into a cup with a little bit of ice, amazing! I was hooked on just that drink I want to live here. I tried the squid soup which my friend and I really liked even though it smelled gross we will be getting it again! Nothing was too sweet or too salty or too watery, everything was perfect. My friend and I enjoyed a full meal and felt where to full and the food was so good that we ordered a bunch to go. On a separate note the bathroom and the restaurant is very clean and safe feeling. I only wish that they could cater to a birthday or wedding.

The service was good. The girl who was taking our order was very nice and patient. I had a mochi with black bean soup and split the other dessert with others. A lot of bread for sure. They also had non dessert menu which I would like to try next time. Parking lot available, good for all age and family setting.
