22 Best Cafes in New Westminster

“The service and food were incredible. For those who are wondering if it’s worth the trip to get to, it absolutely is! The food has great flavor, is prepared beautifully and is run by a very hard working family. I recommend the Rose Pasta and the Pork Ssam! Right now, they also have a Dubai chocolate pancake going on and it’s also very delicious.“

“While touring the area and sightseeing around the Fraser River, we found this lovely little café nearby. The soup and wraps were absolutely delicious. The chef was very courteous and friendly and even took the time to come out and explain the special ingredients he adds to his wraps, which are made fresh daily. That personal touch made the experience feel even more welcoming.
The server was also very friendly and attentive, checking back to make sure everything was okay despite how busy the café was.
The coffee, food to dessert was delicious, the service was fast, and the overall experience was wonderful. We’re so glad we stopped in and would definitely visit again.
Very busy café for good reason — pay it a visit, you will not be disappointed!“

“Best scone I’ve had ever. Americano with honey was fresh hot and delicious. Worker skipped the tip option which is unheard of but I asked her to add a tip. Menu includes salads as well. Wonderful friendly“

“I was in New West for a meeting, so after I was hungry. I had a choice, it was either McDonald's or across the street Jim's Cafe. I decided to give Jim's a try,and I'm sure glad I did. The atmosphere was great, service was wonderful and the food was just great!! To bad I live in North Vancouver, otherwise I would be at Jim's almost everyday. But I'll be there, for sure, next time I'm in New Westminster!! See you then!!!“

“I absolutely love the owner, she’s nicest person, and she makes the best double espresso lattes 😍“

“I must be honest I only buy Donair. But his is the best. Haven't found anything equal as good. His secret sauce makes him the King of Donaires. ❤️👍👍“

“This was our first visit and we immediately fell in love with this cafe. From the beautifully decorated interior and art pieces to the music, the staff, and the overall vibe — everything about this place feels special and thoughtfully put together.

I ordered the hojicha latte while my husband had a drip coffee. The hojicha latte was hand-whipped and incredibly aromatic — I could actually smell the roasted tea fragrance before taking the first sip. My husband said the drip coffee was excellent as well.

We also found out that the cafe turns into a bar at night and hosts all kinds of events like open mic nights and magic shows, which makes the place even more interesting.

Such a fun and unique spot. Definitely somewhere I’d love to come back to and explore more.“

“Great customer service ,delicious cinnamon buns and coffee☕️“

“This café has a really cozy and relaxing atmosphere—perfect for unwinding or getting some work done. The coffee is rich and smooth, with a great aroma that makes every sip feel comforting. The staff are friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall welcoming vibe. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again!“

“Turkey dinner made gluten free!“

“We visited ChaiWala of London New Westminster with a group of four and had a very pleasant experience. The place feels fairly new, clean, bright, and modern with a nice atmosphere. The overall environment was calm and enjoyable. We ordered some light food, including toast, which was quite tasty. I especially recommend their milky tea.

The only small downside was that the music was a bit loud at times, so we had to raise our voices while talking. Overall, we were satisfied and would consider coming back again.“

“My friend and I visited this Saturday. Very inviting, clean, great pastry, choices, savory, and sweet! The coffee was delicious. Service fantastic and friendly. Highly recommend. 🙌💫💜“

“Wonderful owners, delicious food and the coffee was amazing! Such a treat and I highly recommend to everyone who ventures through New West! The only issue is how to choose which in house baked pastries to eat!“

“Best lemonade in town! The panini were good too. No rush feeling, lots of people coming in for coffee and friendly servers 😀“

“I quite enjoy their smiling friendly faces every time I come in to the physiotherapist upstairs. Amazing soups and sandwiches. A definite must if you’re in the neighborhood!“

“Ordered coffee and tea catering service for my Mother’s Celebration of Life and it was perfect! Great coffee and tea selection delivered to location on time and with all needed accompaniment (cups, lids sweeteners, creamer/milk/stir sticks). The coffee stayed fresh and hot in their big container for the full 2 hour event plus setup and takedown time. Staff was lovely when delivering and arranging as well. Really took the labour out of a tea and coffee service for us on a very emotional day. Highly recommend! Maria was amazing!“

“Wonderful little place I just stopped by for a bite to eat and a coffee. Lovely owners and atmosphere, DELICIOUS FOOD!!!The decor and interior could use a bit of sprucing up, but honestly that doesn't matter too much to me personally.It's a shame that there are bad reviews from the previous owners that seem to be affecting this place's overall rating, so if you're just checking this out now, I would highly recommend to stop by and give this place a try!“

“We just went to the Waves on Hastings. Great service and even better coffee! We are only in town for a night but I will be stopping on my way to the airport tomorrow.“

“It’s mostly vegan with 3 non-vegan items specifically marked as Non-Vegan. Alas, HappyCow won’t let me give 5 stars for that reason. Tried the Vegan Chicken Salad roll, which was satisfying & healthy. Also sampled the Vegan Citrus Spare Rib Baguette, which was satisfying too (4/5) They should get credit for making their marinated vegan proteins in-house. We love supporting family-owned vegan-forward establishments, especially in busy tourist areas! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-05“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“

“this place has one of the best doinar in new westminster, the chicken and beef are really good“
