The Sweet Tooth Cafe is a neighbourhood favorite that serves everything from pies, baked goods, made-to-order sandwiches and even some Thai favorites.
My husband and I were on our usual Saturday foray for amazing food along East Hasting street and I happened to be wandering by the Sweet Tooth Cafe and noticed that they made Thai food. I went in and ordered a Pad Thai and Tom Yom Goong Soup. I watched as the woman behind the counter threw the ingredients into pans and pots and chopped, sauteed, seasoned..... as she went. It was really need to see her literally throw together a dish.....this is the way cooking should be done in my opinion (if the person knows how to cook that is!). When she was done, I told her I had fun watching her prepare the food and was surprised nothing was pre-made. She responded by saying she doesn't know how to cook any other way but fresh and made to order.
We took our food home with us since we had to get our other goodies home and in the fridge form our other stops.
The last reviewer was correct and saying that the food is amazing..... at least the Pad Thai and the soup (which had huge fresh prawns) .... good fresh ingredients and prepared by a very very nice woman.
I can't wait to come back and do some more sampling of their (limited) Thai menu. I love being surprised like this. This is basically a coffee shop, so not too much in the way of ambience, but it is clean and they look to have some nice bakery items available as well as more typical lunch items such as soups and sandwiches.
I'm finding that East Hastings keeps surprising us with it's variety and quality in culinary destinations.
I know it sounds strange... But they do have great Thai food and their Pat Thai was the best Pat Thai I've ever had!
It was not ketchupy at all, which is real Thai style pad thai, I believe. I come here for good organic coffee and bagle sandwiches (they bake all the bread and pastries in house). I was always interested in their Thai food and finaly tried one yesterday. OMG I did not expect I would have such a good satisfing Thai food at a small ordinaly looking cafe!
