Richmond folks who enjoy visiting cute cafes, this one is for you.
Oui Patisserie, a new hidden warehouse café, has officially just soft-opened on September 9.
Tucked along River Road (or a 8 min walk from Capstan Station) and across from the recently opened Real Love Mahjong Club, this spot blends industrial vibes with a cozy, modern feel.
Oui is the brainchild of Gloria Lu, who told Noms Magazine that the name has a secret meaning: “Our brand name OUI is secretly short for Oways U & I.”
For her, food has always been about connection, and the café reflects that philosophy.
“Starting this business was a way to share my passion for flavours and hospitality with the community, while creating a space where people can connect and feel at home,” Gloria explains.
The menu centers around airy sponge cakes and French-inspired mousse creations that are described as cloud-like in texture.
Popular offerings include the pistachio supreme cake and the strawberry lux cake, both perfectly paired with Oui’s handcrafted lattes made from locally sourced beans.
“The infusion of traditional French mousse with the softest chiffon will transcend the experience of cake tasting,” Gloria says.
Inside, Oui Patisserie embraces its warehouse roots with soaring high ceilings and minimalist white walls, softened by plush modern furniture and subtle Eurasian design details.
The space seats 20, but the high ceilings and thoughtful design make it feel much much larger.
“I must emphasize the spacious atmosphere as it gives our guests a sense of peace and luxury when stepping into our café,” Gloria notes.
One standout feature is the café’s late hours, rare for a pastry-focused shop.
Oui is open from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 10 p.m. on weekends, giving customers the chance to indulge well into the evening.
For Gloria, the ultimate goal is simple: “We hope people leave with a sense of comfort—like they’ve just enjoyed something simple, fresh, and made with care. More than just good food and coffee, we want them to feel at home.”
Oui Patisserie now joins Richmond’s growing roster of new food spots, alongside U Town Hot Pot, Yummy Pork, and Fluffle Cafe.
