buff Café - Prince Edward

Ordered the pistachio cheesecake and no pistachio flavour and can only taste cream cheese. Tasted like it was left in the fridge for a few days, not smooth at all.

The atmosphere was nice. However, we waited for 40 minutes for our food. Fries were very obviously cold and reheated and were kinda tasteless. Nachos were just Doritos with sauce (I’m not sure if guacamole was real avocado, there were no visible pieces in it) and the sandwiches were all heavy fried. They tasted alright, apart from the fact that I found this plastic line in my sandwich. Drinks are good as long as you add oat milk, otherwise it also tastes significantly less flavorful. If you come for pictures, good choice. For food, go somewhere else.

During the early April Easter holiday, I visited Buff on Maple Street in Prince Edward and had a mediocre experience. I ordered lobster sauce fusilli lunghi bucati with prawn for $148. While there was no 10% service charge, the service wasn't great. There was a curly-haired man with glasses standing at the cashier with an annoyed attitude who seemed unwilling to engage with customers, giving off a very cold and unwelcoming vibe. Not sure if he's the owner or just a staff member, but either way it affected the experience. I also waited about 30 minutes for my pasta to arrive after ordering. The dish was passable in size, with three shrimps, but the lobster sauce was bland and not flavourful at all. Overall, I wouldn't return for dining even though it's recommended by my friend in the first place.

Nice lunch spot. Food was pretty. Prawn toast was quite good but the earl grey cheesecake and tiramisu were nothing special. The matcha latte was more milk than matcha. Place was a bit noisy and it was very hard to hear the guy behind the counter.

Edit 2026: while the place is clean and still looks OK the food and service has definitely gone downhill. We were looking forward to coming back after a couple of great experiences before but apart from waffles still being yummy everything else was just not up to par for a lunch that was 230 per head. Five star down to 2/3. Staff looked as if they have given up too… 2025: Just popped in on a weekday to try. Good food and drink quality, nice surprise! A little bit pricey but OK. Staff is nice and place is clean. Savoury dishes all great, loved the curry chicken. Pistachio basque cheesecake so so, but matcha waffles so good!
