For example, my dessert came out first, followed by one quickly. However, the next two desserts took a while even though another friend had ordered the same thing as me. D was the most disappointed because hers was last to arrive and by then, we could have been halfway done our desserts already. Perhaps Light Cafe can work on timing to bring out all the desserts out at the same time knowing that we were ordering separately and not sharing desserts?I ordered the Charcoal Black Sesame Waffle. It came with a scoop of black sesame and vanilla ice cream in a small dish. The highlight of this dish is that all of the waffles are shaped like hearts. There was also a mini pitcher of black sesame sauce to drizzle over the waffles. There was a piece of dragon fruit and one blackberry on some whipped cream too.I really enjoyed the black sesame ice cream! It was really flavourful. However, for L’s portion, it had started to melt really quickly, which was a disappointing part because she detests melted ice cream. I thought that the waffles were pretty good; they were not too mushy or hard and were easy to eat through with the ice cream and black sesame sauce. It was a lot for one person though and I even gave one waffle heart to my friend.I tried the Strawberry Mille-Feuille that C got and it was quite good! It looked like a pastry tube with cream and strawberries on top, a scoop of strawberry ice cream, and a pipette of strawberry sauce. The pastry was really flaky.D got the Choco-Banana Mille-Feuille. This was also a pastry tube with chocolate sauce, bananas, chocolate, and a pipette with chocolate sauce instead to drizzle on top of the dessert. It was very rich.Overall, I’m really glad that I got to try Light Café finally. All things considered, I thought that it was a really cute café, definitely fit for instagramming due to its aesthetically pleasing creations and modern stylish environment. Also, I think that if Light Café wants more business, perhaps they should provide credit and debit payment options too instead of just cash only. (They have an ATM on site for which service charge is $3.)

We ordered so much and cleaned it all up.. leaving no space for desserts unfortunately. Will be going there for their waffles next! Their services are very fast and their staffs are friendly. Kept refilling my water for me too! (And I drink a lot!) love how patient they were. Had to make reservations. There's always so many people. We had a few of their mini pizzas, lobster bisque, baked potato and a soup. Their prices are considered really good for the very delicious food! Each main comes with a salad and a side of fruits. Remember, cash only!!!

The LightCafe is a very simple and cool place. The service is attentive. We went for dinner, I have the combo soup of the day, salad house with sesame dressing and garlic bread for $8.50 and my husband chose the soup and a truffle croissant. Everything was very good and very nice served.

They brought out two orders of food cold, and the other two orders took an additional 15 minutes to arrive. This was disappointing as we came to eat together at Togas. I would rate their customer service as poor. Additionally, the latte was served cold as well. I wish I could give them a 0-star rating.

The menu offers Fusion Asian flavors in a breakfast café style, with everything sounding new and interesting. I chose the mushroom dish accompanied by a Tiramisu latte, both of which were divine. The side salad and bowl were a pleasant surprise, with appetizing presentation. The price was amazing, with great offers for lunch and half off on all drinks. There was an additional 10% discount for cash payment, unlike debit. I loved it and will definitely be back as soon as possible.
