Review from Vincci L.
If you like cheesecake, then you have to come here at least once.
At Yavis, there's a vast selection of cheesecakes, with three different styles-baked, glacier (kind of ice creamy), and mousse. They have unique flavours for each kind-ginger, red bean, matcha.... Also available is a drink menu as well as teas and coffees.
We came as a group on a Saturday night, and there was a bit of a wait. The place is small-accommodating only 25 people or so.
I got the lavender baked style cheesecake. It was quite good. A good hint of lavender (not too overpowering), and the texture of the cheesecake was velvety smooth. You also don't get this everywhere. Also got a bite of the matcha glacier cheesecake (cheese flavour took over the matcha flavour), and the sesame glacier style cheesecake (a good balance of the 2 flavours.)
It's a nice relaxing place to have dessert. Prices are very reasonable, and service is good. Will be back. -
Review from Nancy W.
It used to be that I get super excited to go to Yavis Club Cheesecake Cafe for namely, cheesecake. It used to be that their portions were generous and the flavours were more unique. It also used to be where we fancied a herbal/floral drink and was the place to chill after dinner in Richmond. Times has changed and this little dessert place located inside Union Square is nothing special. It is still not a bad place to gather, but it only becomes that when my other go-to places Bubble Fruity, Café de Waraku, or Treat Dessert House is not open.
Yavis Club is a modestly decorated dessert house - red walls, plastic chairs and wooden tables. Cheesecake are made in-house and are available as a whole when you order ahead of time. When you order eat-in the piece is nothing but a small sliver. Economy must be hurting when portions drastically downsize at $5+ each piece. The cheesecake itself is alright, I definitely find Café de Waraku must tastier and softer.
One of our all time favourites is the Apple Honey Iced drink. Couple pieces of fresh apple, honey and water. All I can say now is that those better be organic apples and 100% pure honey.
I'm sure you can find a tastier venue in Richmond. -

One simple and nice dessert place in Richmond. It has a lot of varieties of cheesecake.
I'm a dessert person and LOVE cheesecake!! I have been this place so many times and tried different style of cheesecake.
I like the traditional style - baked one. I had cappuccino baked chessecake, it was good - not too rich and sweet. My friend had green tea cheesecake - strong green tea favour and taste good too. The other friend got glacier black sesame cheesecake which is ice-based style.
This is good place to chic-chat with friends and have light dessert at night. -

One of the many dessert places open late until 1AM in Richmond where all the Asians hang out to...well...beats me.
This place offers a variety of styles of cheesecakes: Baked-style, Glacier-style and Mousse-style.
The Baked-style cheesecakes are more of your traditional type of cheesecakes -- baked with a rich and creamy texture to it, and with a stronger cream cheese flavor.
The Glacier-style cheesecake is an ice-based cheesecake -- less a bit of the cream cheese and frozen, so it's a bit icy. Definitely not as strong and rich in flavor and texture.
The Mousse-style cheesecake is a lighter version of the cheesecake -- a creamier texture with very little cream cheese taste.
My party of 3 tried one of the Baked-style and the Glacier style. Presentation was very nice; They even drew an angel on the plate next to one of the slices. Not over the top with the whipped cream.
I also tried their Baked Sago Pudding. It's pretty much a creamy pudding with tapioca inside and a nice thin biscuit-like crust on top. It was good, but I think the tapioca could be a bit bigger in size for it to be nice and chewy.
Service was great. They didn't kick us out even though we sat there chatting away for 2.5 hours.
I would come back again if I'm ever in the neighborhood and wanting some late-night desserts.
