21 Best Cafes in New Westminster

“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 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. ❤️👍👍“

“Great hidden cafe/restaurant that is walking distance from Braid Skytrain station. I’m fortunate to live a short 10 minute walk away from Babs, so I usually stop by 1-2x a week for their delicious breakfast and Korean food.

The front of house staff member/manager (i think her name is Jane?) is really nice as well! 10/10 recommend Babs for those who live a short walk or drive away :)“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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☕️“

“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. 🙌💫💜“

“Turkey dinner made gluten free!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The atmosphere is lovely, and I appreciate the interior design and seating arrangement. The food and staff are generally acceptable, though I think a little more acknowledgement through body language would be nice. Sometimes, they seem a bit rushed, and it would be great to see a smile from them.“

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

“Hidden Gem 💎!!! Michelin star worthy deliciousness. Tried the Mulukia with lamb and injera bread which was gobsmackingly delicious. So flavourful and interactive being able to use the injera bread as your utensil to pick up the lamb stew with jute leaves. Comes with a healthy salad and refreshingly spicy peanut sauce too. Mom and pop shop with excellent down to earth service. Can’t wait to return. Food is made fresh to order so it’s not fast food… but it’s worth the wait. The place has character, if you go in person, you’ll see what I mean.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I've visited this cafe multiple times and have always had a positive experience. The staff are friendly, the foods and drinks are really good, and the team does their best to accommodate customer requests. I've found the staff to be polite and helpful whenever I've visited.“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“
