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.

Breakfast Platter
I've had the pleasure of dining here twice for breakfast/ brunch and have been delighted on both occasions. I went during the week. There was sufficient parking behind the building that felt safe and secure. The restaurant is beautifully decorated which changes depending on the season. I really liked the aesthetic and ambiance of the place. I felt the staff were courteous and helpful and I got my food promptly. The food was delicious and I appreciated the variety. On this occasion I opted to share two meals with a friend so we could try everything. Pancakes were fluffy and the smoked salmon with cream cheese and deviled eggs were yummy. I appreciated the beautiful plating and the variety of refreshing mocktails that felt fresh and highlighted in season ingredients. The prices are decent and the portions are just my size. Will be making myself a regular for 2024

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

I visited taste of happiness tt for brunch. The food was amazing as well as the ambience. There's a beautiful area to take pictures and the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. If you're looking for a new restaurant to try in South, I would recommend here. The parking is limited and quite tight, so I would advise that you arrive on time for your reservation.

Pancake Breakfast
The food & experience was lovely. Even though I experienced a wait time on a busy day, the staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A bonus for the chocolates instead of mint as a refreshment! The food was tasty, though I think the prices for some items are expensive. At the time I visited, LINX/VISA was not accepted, which I had not catered for.

Great ambiance and friendly staff.
Food is ok but nothing too amazing. Serving size was also smaller than expected for the prices. This particular sandwich shown didn’t have a top bun.
Cutting meat was challenging as the knives provided were dull. The glass tables only added to the difficulty as the plate kept sliding about.
The dining area is small so it’s recommended to make a reservation. That being said, although we had a reservation, we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated.
The carpark is shared with other businesses so depending on how you park, you may be asked to move during your meal.

It's a nice small place....there is limited parking ...customer service was also nice. The main reason why I go to restaurants is for the food.
I ordered a beef burger and was disappointed in the size..nevertheless, I love burgers and it's hard to mess up a burger....right?...RIGHT?.
That's what they did...somehow they managed to LOAD the burger with SALT...I don't know if it was a mistake or if it's always served like this...I'm not that picky when it comes to food but I literally couldn't eat it and started to feel upset after a few bites....money and food wasted.
Don't soak your burger in a brine solution.
Everything else was nice though but I won't be coming back...my gf however did enjoy her meal.

The food is, by far, excellent. The environment is welcoming. I was there for Halloween and Christmas. It was the first Saturday of the year, and the place was packed. If you don't plan and book in advance, be prepared for a wait. The food is top-notch; I even complimented the chef who made my steak, which was mouthwatering. The signature burger is to die for; please try it; you won't be disappointed. Drinks are not watered-down but just right—not too sweet or sour. I recommend the sunset. The Service I have been to restaurants with some waitresses with no patience at all. I have been to this restaurant four times, and these waitresses are the best. I have messed up my order twice, being honest, and they still treat me with a smile. Overall, I gave this restaurant/café 5 stars because of my experience and will be attending again.
