Cafe Hue Reviewed!

     After a dismal experience with Up2You Café, I thought it would go ahead and share a much more positive experience at another Café of similar nature.  The next review is on a place called Café Hue. This café is actually on the same street as the last but maybe another mile or so further down Convoy. Its located in a mini strip mall nestled in with a few different places including other restaurants such as Mignon Pho + Grill and The Koon Kitchen(both of which I will talk about in another post later). Café Hue is located right in between Nijiya Market and The Koon Thai Kitchen. Out of the few times we have visited, parking has always been ample.

     Upon entrance it has very modern to feel. It combines both a casual restaurant and that of a lounge.  There is a small area in the back where patrons can come in and sit on a couch around a coffee table to chat and play games. Similar to Up2You Café they also provide cards, Jenga and other board games to enjoy.  Music is always playing in the background. They make use of a modern cash register with an iPad giving the kitchen itself a minimalist feel. Because of this you can actually watch as they prepare your meal.

The Café is rather simple in its initial menu. They offer waffles, crepes, an assortment gelato along with coffee and a barrage of tea. My girlfriend and I have tried a few different crepes; one in particular was our usual strawberry, bananas, whipped cream, Nutella with a scoop of Nutella Gelato over the top. Our first impression after seeing it was highly impressed, the portion was huge and the presentation was very well done. The crepe was cooked very well and it tasted great. Not to mention the Nutella gelato was very good too.  Over all it was a very well received dessert between us both leaving us wanting to have another. We actually plan on trying a few of the other creations they have including the Oreo and coffees ones. I will be sure to include an update as well when we do.  We also tried the ham egg and cheese savory crepe as well. It does not live up to the standards of the sweet crepes and we felt it lacked a bit in egg but still overall was very filling. In terms of drinks we have tried both their milk tea with boba which we liked a lot. It was on the sweet side but nevertheless tasty. We also tried their Café Mocha and it too was also really good, though the regular seemed kinda small.

     Over all we both really enjoyed this place a lot and will most likely be our go to place to get our dessert fix on. Prices at first may seem a little steep but after seeing the portions you are given and compared to the pricing at Up2You, it’s well worth it. Though I would like to mention we did not try the waffle but it does seems a little small, but still looked very good. My girlfriend and already showed this place to her coworkers and they all really enjoyed it and want to go back soon. We will be definitely going back to give this another go. Our overall rating out of 10… A very satisfied 9. Check it out!
