24 Best Coffee Shops in New Westminster

“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 😀“

“The best roasted coffee in town“

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

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. Craft Cafe is one of those rare spots where the entire experience is just exceptional.

The food is fantastic, the coffee is excellent, they have a really interesting selection of products, and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. But what really sets this place apart is the people.

Rin, in particular, was absolutely incredible. Easily some of the best customer service I’ve experienced anywhere in a long time. He was genuinely friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and went far beyond what I would normally expect from someone helping a customer. You can tell when someone is simply doing their job versus when someone actually cares about making sure you have a great experience — Rin genuinely cares.

I walked in expecting to stop at a coffee shop and walked out thinking, “I need to leave these guys a review.” That doesn’t happen very often.

Between the quality of the food and drinks, the unique products, the atmosphere, and especially the level of service, Craft Cafe deserves every bit of five stars. If you’re anywhere around New Westminster or the Quay, this is absolutely a place worth going out of your way to visit.

And management: whatever you’re doing with Rin, keep doing it. People like him are what turn first-time customers into regulars.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“

“I have enjoyed drinking earl grey tea for as long as I can remember. Today I’m enjoying the most fragrant, delicious cup of earl grey tea from Great Wall Tea Co. I will go as far as to say that this is the freshest and most well-balanced flavor I’ve enjoyed in a cup of tea in 25+ years! Love love love!!!“

“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!“

“Best costumer service smiles n friendly“

“Wish they have more seats and tables. Otherwise, all good and fast service today.“

“Daniel was very accommodating and kind to my friend and I when we came in last night for coffee, it was also the best caramel macchiato I’ve had ever. Baristas like him make me want to visit the store again, thank you Daniel! 😊😊“

“Great courtyard with flowers ,trees quiet neighbourhood“

“Fast service even when busy!“

“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.“

“Everyone needs a place where they know your name with a smile to brighten your day“

“I stop by to have coffee ❤️❤️❤️ excellent service and my coffee was nice and hot!“

“This is a great place to visit if you're looking for delicious gelato. They have a wide variety of flavors and it's a wonderful addition to River Market, where you can experience a unique vibe. The staff is friendly and attentive. You might have to wait a bit for your order, but it's definitely worth it.

I love all the varieties offered here, the kids really enjoy it, and I love the decor and vibe. Don't worry if you don't have enough space inside, you can easily use the common food court area or take a nice walk outside enjoying the lovely river scenery.“
