Jeys and Tin: matcha

Wooffles & Cream

Wooffles & Cream is located in Kennedy Square at Markham. I went to this place twice before I finally got what I wanted. The first time I was with friends. We came at around 10:30pm, they ran out of the wooffless and only had the soft serve ice cream. So I didn't bother buying anything. The second time I was with my brother and Tin. It too was a fail. We went there on a Monday only to find out that the store is not open on Mondays. The third time I was again with friends. We had just finished our dinner not too far from the place so we decided to go for desserts. This time we came earlier and finally had their wooffles. We had to wait 20 minutes for our order. The line was not long when we got there. However, a couple minutes after we ordered a flood of people came lining up. It was still busy even after we finished eating our desserts. There were only two staff working. One person took the orders while the other person had to make the wooffles and the other orders.

Left - Shinozuki parfait
Right - Matcha soft serve ice cream cone $4.50

The shinozuki parfait was decent according to my friend. Apparently the matcha place in downtown has a better matcha taste than the one they serve at this store. Tin and I have yet to go to the matcha place downtown. When we do there will definitely be a post about it. So stay tuned!

Cookies and cream wooffles with matcha soft serve ice cream $8

This wooffles and cream product was good. I mean, who doesn't like cookies and cream?

Unionville: Caffe Gran Sasso

When I say I don't want to spend more than $10 I mean it haha. Lately, my friends and I have been wanting to go out with the intention of spending the bare minimum of our budget. We wanted to get some vitamin D since it was such a beautiful day. So I suggested - Unionville. Unionville is located within Markham. It's so small if you blink, you'll pass by it and not even know it. But, it stands out for its historic building structure. I'm so glad we went because we were able to get some vitamin D, enjoy some music, walk along the streets where people ate gelato, and drink some good quality coffee.

After walking up and down the streets of Unionville TWICE (we wanted to burn calories haha) we stopped by this coffee place called Caffe Gran Sasso. I like how it looked from the outside and I was definitely excited to try their coffee since I, myself, is a coffee lover. I love the interior of the coffee shop as it gave a modern industrial design. I felt relaxed and I was quite pleased to see that they also sell gelato!

To be honest, I had my eyes set on the caffe afogato. But upon viewing the price I was hesitant because I didn't want to spend lol.. But then, I decided to go for it because the description sounded just too good to pass. It was described as vanilla ice-cream drowned in espresso. Sounds interesting right? So my friend and I shared the caffe afogato, and I honestly do not regret it at all. The vanilla ice-cream was smooth and sweet but just perfect enough to blend with the espresso. From personal experience, I believe this is by far one of the best espressos I have ever tasted. I think it blended well with the vanilla ice-cream. The espresso itself was thick, greasy, and smooth in texture and with an after taste that had a pull. A positive pull that lingered but it wasn't a bitter, roasted kind of touch but instead one that laces well with the vanilla ice-cream. Overall I loved it. And now, I'm probably going to stay awake for another 5 hours haha.

My other friend on the other hand bought Matchaccino. Although I took two sips out of his cup, I found the matcha itself delightful as well. So if you're passing by Unionville and happen to see Caffe Granso Sasso, stop by.
