Had the classic pancakes with eggs and a citrus refresher drink. Everything was good. Only complaint is that the salt shaker was faulty and everything poured out on the plate when attempting to use it and the ac can do with some work at it was feeling a bit hot.

Parking- shared with other businesses on the compound so it gets filled pretty quickly, both to the front and back. Parking to the side is NOT IDEAL! Atmosphere- A lot smaller than expected, so definitely try to make reservations for the weekend rush. That being said, the decor is lovely, and the washroom as well. Service- The waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable as well as quite pleasant Food- Ordered the eggnog pancak, s and while they were fluffy and satisfying, I couldn't taste the eggnog flavor I was expecting. The hot plate, however, was quite delicious as expressed by my friend

The overall experience was a 10/10 for me because not only is it a serene and comfy restaurant but it is also one of the many hidden gems in south. The customer service was amazing, the food was top tier and the atmosphere holds great promise. Would visit again.

I visited the Taste of Happiness with my best friend whilst on vacation. Note, it was also close to the Christmas season, but my visit was on a weekday. The decor and scenery are superb! Even the bathrooms are so elegant, so beautiful, just looking like a wow! The staff were super friendly. We were even lucky to sample fruit cake and sponge cake for the season! I do think I need to visit again to really peruse and partake in their menu. My friend and I bought hot chocolates and the breakfast platter. The plating and presentation were on point! I really love their cute cups! I do wish the space wasn't so cramped, however, it was a bit smaller than I was expecting. While we were dining, a couple had to be asked to shift just so that they could put tables together for an upcoming group event. Of course, I would recommend you call to reserve a spot. Additionally, the parking is cramped to the front, but there is space in the back. I hope, however, it can be graded, paved, and improved upon in the future to truly represent what the business means.
