I love this place. Warm welcoming neighbourhood feel, great food and coffee, beautiful family and staff. A long time favourite that continues to hold up over the years.
This is not my go to location, however, was in the area. I actually had a gift card that I wanted to use up sooner rather than later. This location has decent amount of seating and I appreciate the wood interior that looks like a cabin at times. Barista was very friendly and sociable. London Fog was okay, nothing to write home about, however, when a drink is free it is hard to be overly... more
Great place to work if you work from home. Staff is always great!
I really didn't like this cafe. Both their london fog and their chai tasted overly sweet and like the syrups they were using had aspartame in them The panini I bought was mushy and quite expensive. There isn't any wifi, and not much in the way of access to outlets. Both my friend and I were bothered by men while trying to study here as well. I couldn't think of a redeeming quality for this cafe... more
I wish this place had better service. Maybe I got a barista on a bad day, but there was very little smiling or chit chat enthusiasm. The Americano I ordered was disappointing, and the noise levels from the coffee machine quite disturbing. Not sure I will return to this location.
I try to love this coffee shop. But it reminds me of those great deals you find shopping that have a catch to them. "Oh it's buy two get one free. Not buy one get one free." Things of that nature.

Nice place to hang out, and has a nice patio out back. My complaint about this location is that they close at 5:00 PM, and the staff starts 'sweeping' you out the door shortly after 4:30 (turning off the lights, picking up your coffee cup, etc.) - it's too early. I'd rather go there knowing I can spend some time without being bothered.
My favorite coffee joint in West Point Grey. Perfect neighbourhood atmosphere with very good service.
How can they not have air con today? Too muggy inside.
Nice rice krispies square, or should we say triangle? lol
This is a great local coffe chain that makes some mean espresso drinks. Although I didn't indulge, the muffins and cakes made in house looked to die for. The hipster staff was also very friendly and helpful too.
All i can say is Americano. Still one of my favourite shops to grab one and it doesn't matter which location. This one is nice because it has nice big windows, and a earthy woody interior. Always fabulous treats, and foods.
Does anyone else feel like singing that song by Lisa Stansfield..all around the world? I do every time I walk by or go in.. I can't help but hum "I've BEAN around the world, and I can't find my latte"......no? did I loose you on that? anyways they make an excellent london fog...... what? what's that you say you have never had a london fog? well it's steamed milk with a tea bag tossed in....... more
