Sugar Marmalade

I’ve been to this place a few times and have never been disappointed with the service or food. It’s always consistently as good as I expect it to be and it’s open late and able to accommodate my random sweet tooth cravings. It’s largely a dessert place, but they do serve savoury items as well. Dishes I’ve had in the past and really enjoyed: kiwi lemon fruit tea, hong kong style steamed rice roll, japanese style popcorn chicken, mango pancake w/​sundae supreme, golden sago mixed & stewed egg white with milk and ginger. Will definitely be back in the future to try more goodies!

Durian Lovers Alert!
For all you Durian Lovers, I’d recommend trying this place out.
I ordered their Hot Black Glutinous Rice with Durian and added Pearl Delights. There was a chunk of Durian inside with a good ratio of all the other items. Would recommend it as a hot dish because the flavors are enhanced (but it’s also winter right now so that was a nice touch before going out in the cold). They have many other durian combos to choose from (Panna cotta, Mochi, Pancake, Grass Jelly, etc).
We also tried the Mango Mochi Supreme and was disappointed. It was very sour because they used fresh mangos but they’re not in season right now (January).
Parking at the back is free but it shares the same Lot as Owl of Minerva. I’d come again just because they have Durian options.

I have been here several times. I have to say I have been to many Asian desert places. This place is way better than their Spadina location, but I still have to say I have had better Asian deserts elsewhere. The location is convenient as it is in North York walking distance to the TTC subway station. I think it is also the only Asian desert place in the area. The seating is very tight I find and not very comfortable, especially if you was in a group. The deserts quality is average. I find it too sweet for my taste buds though. Overall, this place is average.

The hostesses are very polite and nice. The drink there is nice But i think the dessert tastes better

I love taiwanese food and desserts. I come here once in a while. I love their chinese dessert soups and sweet brick toasts. I like how the desserts here aren’t too sweet, it is at the perfect level of sweetness. Thus it is now one of my fav places to come for drinks (bubble tea, tea, slushies), desserts, snacks, or a heavier dinner. All the super good food here is fried. So fried chicken and fried porkchop taiwanese style.
If you want an all-​in-​one place with lunch, dinner, drinks (non-​alcoholic), dessert this is your place!

Last night, I had 2 friends coming from the States to visit and we went to Han Ba Tang for dinner. Afterwards, my friend’s gf said she wants some Chinese dessert. Since most of the places were closed at Yonge & Finch @1200am, we stumbled into this place for some Chinese dessert.
There was no opening hours sign on the front window and there still were people inside, so we decided to go in. A waitress came to us and we told them 3 people. I could see her face showing «we are closing soon», but another person (manager?) told her to take us in.
The temperature in the room was hot and we felt a bit uneasy. But in their defense, Toronto was cold the past few days and suddenly it was not as cold today. May be they didn’t change the thermostat yet. But still, we weren’t sitting comfortably. Cleanliness was fair. At least the tables and chairs were not sticky.
I ordered the mango grapefruit black sago (楊枝甘露 w/​黑西米). Sorry I know this is not its name, but that’s the best description I got. When it came, I had to ask the waitress what that is, because it does not look like the photo at all. I understand that’s the way restaurants works. Just like McDonald’s. But if you were me, you’d be asking it too. Coz it really look nothing like the photo. On the photo, there was the mango soup base with black sagos surrounded by some black evaporated milk, plus mangos and grapefruits on top. The one I received was just mango soup with white sago. Where are the mangos and grapefruits? Turned out they (small portions) were all sunk at the bottom. Where’s the black condense milk? Iunno. But I don’t wanna cause a scene in front of my US friends so I just took it. The mango was so raw and hard. It sounds like eating celery, if you know what I mean.
My friend’s gf ordered a mango grapefruit sago w/​grass jelly. But when the waitress brought it in, there was no grass jelly. She told the waitress about it and the waitress just took it away without apologizing. 5 seconds later, she came back with the dessert because they literally just dumped some grass jelly on. Again, I understand that’s the way Chinese restaurant works. But if you are not re-​making it, at least make the presentation decent.
The service doesn’t make you feel comfortable and welcomed. I understand that the waitress may have worked long hours. And I understand it might not even be her fault making the wrong order; it’s the kitchen’s fault (if she didn’t write the wrong order). But I am a nurse and I work long hours too. I never show my tired side to my patients and I never stop smiling to them. But this waitress has no smile and no apologies when the order was wrong.
I still tip her 15% because I understand she worked long hours. May be the store should be closed but the manager forced her to take us in. It is not her fault making the wrong order. It is not her fault when the kitchen simply dumped in the grass jelly on top without making it look decent at least.
Will I come back? No.
Hope you all understand my anger because I was hosting my friends from the States. As a host, I was embarrassed that I wasted their time trying this dessert place.

My sisters and I came here to fulfill some late night sweet tooth cravings. The place is pretty tight, the seatings are way too close. We could hear everyone’s conversations and of course they could hear ours.
I tried to order the steamed milk and papaya dessert and the house special chicken wings but both were sold out. I ended up getting a hot almond milk black tea which tasted very «perfumey» and my sister got a mango tofu dessert which we didn’t like either because the tofu wasn’t very solid. We also got popcorn chicken and the other chicken wings (the non crispy one), they were both a little too salty. My other sister ordered a durian shake and durian mochi. Both were really good. The condensed milk on toast was good too but that’s an item that’s impossible to make wrong.
I’d come here again just to be able to try the steamed milk and papaya dessert and I’ll probably stick to a normal drink like lychee bubble tea or something.

Food was alright but I smelled of oil by the time I came out of the place. Not sure if I will go back.

I love this place so much and used to come here all the time but it pains me to give it two stars because there was a cockroach crawling on the seat right beside me while I ate my dessert. The server offered us a 10% discount but that definitely was not worth it since I couldn’t even finish my food in peace.
Honestly, this is a great place and I know not all restaurants can be 100% clean and insect free. But please for the love of God, call pest control because ain’t nobody tryna drink bubble tea and make eye contact with a cockroach at the same time.
The atmosphere and food is great, especially their popcorn chicken. There’s a small parking lot available at the back but it is shared with a few other restaurants so don’t expect to find a parking spot during dinner hours.
Also, don’t park next to the dumpster because that thing is crooked and you will scratch your car, trust me, I know.

Nice little joint when you feel like snacking or having a sweet tooth. The reason why i rated this as Aok simply because its CASH ONLY, street parking can be limited depending on the time of day and i saw a few flies when I was about to order my food.
We got the teriyaki poutine, lychee and sago, and the taro and pearl delight (HOT). Poutine is a must try and the desserts were pleasant and comforting.
Will definitely be coming back since they had good service and to try out their wide selections of desserts.

I was afraid to visit this place based on all the negative reviews but my experience was okay. The service is cold and it is difficult to get the waitresses attention but luckily they have one of those service call buttons.
Once we ordered the desserts they came pretty quick.
House special mango with sago and grass jelly $ 6.49 — tasted really good and it was a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day.
Lychee black pearl delight $ 4.99 — the dessert looked like sago but it was actually chia seeds. This is my first time trying it and I liked it very much. There was a good amount of lychee and there was also mochi and lychee jelly to give it different textures.
Pink lady drink $ 4.49 — basically a watermelon and mango drink. I really enjoyed this drink since water melon and mango’s are probably my favourite fruit so combining them together made it that much better.

Sugar! Yes please!
This is always a good place after eating on Yonge Street for some dessert. The prices are reasonable and there’s a large selection of desserts and some snacks for those in your group that have a second stomach.
Whenever I visit this place, I like to try something new. My favourites have been the mango shaved ice (sweet cold dessert) or anything with gelatinous rice (delicious and chewy texture). The consistency is usually on point, and I really don’t have many complaints.
The service is quick and friendly, but it can be tough to get seats at times. Hopefully you pick a good time to come or you could end up waiting for a while.
Out of all the things I tried, I’m not a big fan of the honeydew shaved ice. It tastes a little artificial and is the weaker of the shaved ice items.

Sugar Marmalade is a nice little Taiwanese dessert place I stopped into on a Saturday night. The menu has a large assortment of dessert options (including one of my favourites: shaved ice), as well as the usual tea and appetizer options.
I had a sort of «everything together» mango and yogurt based dessert with ice cream. It tastes good, but the did something curious: they put this cold dessert in a bowl that just came out of the dishwasher. So it melted really fast and was hard to enjoy; though it was good for the two minutes before it got really soupy.
I also had a mango oblong tea which was good, though a but too sweet.
The popcorn chicken my friend and I shared was great, right amount of salty.
The service was good, and I’m eager to try the other desserts on the menu. I also found their options to be reasonably priced: my dessert was $ 6.99, which is pretty good.

More 3.5 stars.
Hm, I like this place. It offers the Taiwanese desserts that I can’t easily find elsewhere in my neighborhood with the same quality. I basically want to try all the desserts on their menu. Had one of the grassjelly desserts with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, taro, would definitely go back to try the sagos and mango pancakes *_​*
The popcorn chicken was pretty standard, I wasn’t too impressed with the minced pork/​preserved eggs dish though. Pork too oily and they served the dessert before the salty food, could put some more thought into the service.

Stumbled upon this Chinese dessert café, I was attracted by a picture of Hong Kong Style Steamed Rice Roll on the window outside. The café gives out a chic vibe with black painted walls and black menus. The place was packed, a good sign. I looked at the menu and was surprised by the amount of varieties of desserts, drinks, snacks, and entrees they offer there.
I ordered Hong Kong Style Steamed Rice Roll and Stewed Egg White with Milk and Ginger, two of my favourite food. The food came fast, and I was very pleased with both dishes. The rice roll tasted freshly made, chewy but not mushy, drizzled with plenty of sweet sauce and sesame seeds. The stewed Egg White was just the right amount of sweet with a hint of the ginger aroma, and the texture was so smooth and perfect.
This place does some authentic Chinese desserts. I am hooked, and can’t wait to visit again (and again) to taste whatever else they have to offer.

Here we go!
So I’ve been here couple times and have to say the desserts are good depending which ones you get. Sometimes they have it in Stock or just ran out.
The reason for one star is the service. I went twice and had my order forgotten both times. Although second time they forgot me and my gfs order. Both times I made eye contact with the server and asked and still doesn’t answer or even bother to come over. They are too busy on their phones or talking to their friends or even leaving the building for a smoke.
I don’t know whether I’m unlucky but damn that was ridiculous two times both forgotten. Never gone back since.

One of the better Chinese dessert places. Have a wide range of variety, everyone can find what they like on the menu. If you are a mango lover like me this is the place for you. They have every type of mango dessert with all sorts of options and additions.
I’ve had the mango shaved ice before and it’s amazing. I’ve heard the other desserts like sago, tofu, grass jelly and glutinous rice is good too. Keep in mind that it’s definitely better when mangos are in season, like in the summer time! This time I tried the green tea shaved ice with red bean. The shaved ice is really good, highly recommended not like the ones at other places where it is really shaved ice with toppings. Here the green tea shaved ice is like green tea sherbet shaved into thin slivers of ice sheets. I think just eating that is light and airy and full of green tea flavour. It’s also a bit creamy and not watery like regular ice. I found that the red bean topping was way too sweet and I wasn’t able to finish the red bean. Otherwise it’s delicious, I’m not sure if there’s another place in Toronto that serves this but I’ve had this in other countries.
The place is a bit cramped. Poorly ventilated, they had to open the door and I was real cold cause I had to sit by the door. The service not the best but I guess it was not what we were looking for for a dessert place. Otherwise I thought the quality was decent. I heard from my friends the hot food was quite tasty. The portions are a good deal for the price! I will definitely return!

I thought this place was alright. A friend brought me and the staff seem to be familiar with him, so perhaps that helped as I didn’t experience the bad service as per other reviews.
I ordered some House-​Special of a sago/​grass jelly dessert and what was served did NOT look like the photo on the menu. I swear that in the pic of the item I wanted, it appeared as though it contained mango… although what arrived was basically b&w.
Dessert arrived quickly… almost too quickly, re: a coupla minutes after ordering. Then again, it’s probably a scoop of this and a scoop of that.
How come we don’t have one of these dessert places in ‘ssauga?

Horrible, horrible service.
Came back expecting an upgrade in service…
sat down, ordered, turns out they didn’t have the golden sago with coconut noodles so I settled for a mango pancake.
Two tables filled up beside us and the one near the door.
10 minutes pass. 20 minutes… we ask where our food is– the table next to us got their popcorn chicken already. Surely it takes longer to make that than a pancake?
The server goes and checks the computer and looks confused. apparently the guy didn’t put in the order because it wasn’t there at all. They don’t say anything until 5 minutes later, one of them comes and mumbles something like ‘umm in back getting blahblah something’ … yeah it was so unclear and we didn’t ask him to repeat because he rushed off after that.
It’s not like they’re understaffed either. Nor is the restaurant full.
After another 10 minutes, I get up to leave because it is ridiculous how a table of 8 got their orders of snow ice, pancakes and appetizers before we’ve even been served a bit. Horrible.
Will NEVER return here.
Every time I go, the server forgets our order and a few minutes later, a few of them start putting on their jackets to go outside or something. I have no idea what’s going on.

It was a chilly evening and wanted something sweet and warm. My sister and I walked into this place for the first time.
The menu has several options, hot and cold. Ice cream, crepes, traditional asian sweets and some creative fusion desserts.
We had the coconut sago with taro. Its tasted great but was not very hot. We also has mixed glutinous balls filled with black sesame, red bean, white sesame and durian. They were in a coconut milk. Loved it!
Looking forward to returning. I want to try their dinner items too. Popcorn chicken is there signature dish.
