100% worth going! Food and drinks are great, plenty of options, and the service is friendly. Decor is also very cozy and welcoming, prices and portions are fair too.

Such a cozy and cute Korean cafeteria. My friend and I went there and ordered two cups of latte and their taiyaki sandwiches (kimchi tuna and spicy pulled chicken). They are delicious and taiyaki are crunchy. We had good meals in a rainy day. The staff are nice and friendly as well!

Such an amazing tasting Sandwich we opted for the breakfast Taiyaki sandwiches The Chili maple syrup sauce that’s in the sandwich is delectable on the pallet alongside the fresh crisp romaine. It’s flaky And crunchy all in one it was so good that we ended up going back a second time before we left To head back home. The Matcha white chocolate chip cookies are also Delicious the service is amazing really friendly. 5/5 I’ve been dreaming about the sandwich since we got back home

This place is awesome! Here's what I got; Bulgogi sandwich on their specialty bread which was crispy, flaky, and delicious. The Bulgogi was very good and the sauce on the sandwich had a nice sweet flavour. The hot chocolate was hot creamy and very yummy. The cinnamon roll was of the charts. It even had a bit of almost burnt candied caramel at the bottom which is my favourite. Another one of the amazing restaurants in Halifax.

Very cute spot with delicious iced latte and taiyaki! I tried the vanilla custard and chocolate hazelnut and it was delicious. Highly recommend!

I recently visited Taiyaki 52 Cafe and had a delightful experience. I tried the white mocha paired with a single taiyaki, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with deliciousness of blueberries. The vegan banana muffin was moist and flavourful. The cafe has a cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to relax. They do have great vegan options as well. I highly recommend checking it out for a unique treat!

They serves delicious Japanese-style taiyaki waffles with sweet and savory fillings, tasty sandwiches, and creamy soft-serve ice cream. The food is fresh, flavorful, and well-made. My favorite is the taiyaki bulgogi—savory, tender, and full of flavor! MUST VISIT!!
