The pastries weren't good at all and I ordered 4 different ones to really try and give a chance, the vibe inside the cafe was nice, but food is no for me🙅🏻‍♀️

I remember how excited we were when Bjorn opened in Coquitlam, finally promising a good coffee spot in the area. In reality, that promise still feels unfulfilled. I've tried many times to love Bjorn, but it just doesn’t spark much—neither dislike nor excitement, just a dull middle ground. Some of their items, like the salted caramel macarons and a few bars, are decent, but croissants, meringues, and sandwiches are underwhelming, often at a steep price. It’s not a bad place, but nothing really stands out for me. For now, it stays on my radar simply because, well, this neighborhood doesn’t have much else.

The girl working here was so so helpful to describe and recommend different products and was so attentive and caring. The goodies like gingerbread ganookie were the best and I was lucky to have these treats during breakfast and lunch

Love the opera cake, it's truly amazing, smooth buttercream, not too sweet. The brulee tastes like plain cheesecake and meringue was way too sweet. The matcha drink was just okay. The girl who made drinks was too busy chatting with the customer before me that she didn't see the order receipt coming through. I was waiting for a while and had to step in to remind her about the receipt then she started making my drink. Very unprofessional. Will just come back for the opera cake.

This place is quite nice and all, the WiFi is terrible though.

Coffee is ok. Seems to be inconsistent taste-wise each time. One mocha I got tasted like watery hot chocolate. Food and drinks are very expensive. Pastries are usually good though. Last week there were a bunch of large flies flying around and landing on their pastries and staff didn’t do anything. Pretty gross. Probably won’t come back.

This place is great. I love coming here, but there was 2 problems. My first problem was the prices. We had to pay $10 for 3 small pastries. You can finish one in 3 bites if you wanted to. My second problem was the bathrooms.

There was only 2 bathrooms that men and women had to share, but I'm fine with that. What annoyed me the most was how the toilet had water on it. I had to clean it myself. But I honestly don't blame them. It was the person who came in last. So I'm just writing this problem just in case.
Now I have another thing to say buy its really not a problem because it's not there fault. The seating. It was filled up. But there was some empty seating outside. So I'm okay with it. There was no parking so we parked at McDonald's and walked there, which was fine. I only have one more thing to say with this bakery... I highly recommend. It's a great place with yummy food. Great for dessert or lunch. So please do come here.
Staff are kind too. This is an amazing place!

Parking: We couldn't find parking so we parked at McDonald's ad walked there.

We’ve been coming here on a regular basis, our favorites are their cinnamon rolls and blueberry turnover. For bars, our favorites are lime bar, lemon meringue and raspberry bar.

Awesome crunchy almond croissant here- so tasty! Highly recommend this to go along with a vanilla late - perfect to satisfy your craving for something sweet.
Wish I had time to enjoy my coffee here though- lots of natural light and seating options!

I have been to Bjorn numerous times and have always had great service. I’ve noticed price creep and quality drop over the past year. I didn’t particularly have a great experience 4 months ago but I decided to give it another chance today. I can say for certain Bjorn has gone down hill. Their food quality is horrendous and prices are HIGH. I used a 25% off coupon to purchase 3 lunch items and a cookie. The grilled cheese was inedible, super greasy, for $15 it should be illegal. The $15 beef dip was dry. Pretty sure the tomato soup is from Safeway across the street… the chocolate chip cookie had numerous hairs in it, I actually picked a hair out thinking no big deal but then after breaking more of the cookie noticed more hair. It hurts to write this negative post as I love visiting all the local coffee shops but unfortunately I will never be back to Bjorn ever wgsin.

I love grabbing a latte and pastry here wherever I'm near! Amazing customer service, they go above and beyond. The owner was so kind and helped me out when I was in a pinch during an event after we ran out of pastries.

The bars, coffee, cheese scone, apple jealousy are delicious. If it wasn't so noisy inside (music and machinery), it would be more welcoming. Staff is young and doesn't add to the atmosphere, as in a chain stablishment.
