Happy Sunday! After morning Mass and a pancake brunch at church, we decided to hang out at Cafe & Life Co. at their location on West 7th Ave near Cambie. We’re just passing the time until 7:00 pm when we head over to the Richmond Night Market.
The Drinks: Uji vs. Strawberry O-Matcha
I ordered an unsweetened Uji Matcha Latte with oat milk. Even though I asked for no sugar, the oat milk gives it a natural hint of sweetness.

Hubby went with the House Special O-Matcha (cold). It is essentially a strawberry matcha latte and absolutely beautiful to look at. The combination of tart, sweet strawberry syrup and bitter green tea makes for a really balanced flavour.

The Treats: Perfectly Flaky Croissants
You can’t have a latte without a little something on the side. I paired mine with a plain butter croissant. We requested it to be heated, so it was soft on the inside with that expected crunch on top.

Hubby chose the double baked almond croissant, which was also warmed through. There’s something about a warm almond pastry that just feels like the ultimate Sunday treat.

| Hubby’s pick: the double-baked almond croissant ($6.25). Pro tip: always ask them to warm it up so the middle gets soft and the nuts get extra toasted. |
