I recently visited Cafe & Life Co., and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The café has a beautifully designed interior—bright, clean, and modern—with a calm atmosphere that’s perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxed afternoon. It definitely has that stylish, Korean-inspired aesthetic that makes it very photogenic. The food was delicious and well-prepared. The shrimp salad was one of the highlights: fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor, with juicy shrimp, avocado, radish, and mixed greens creating a great balance. The pasta was cooked al dente and had a nice, mildly tangy tomato sauce. Their drinks were also impressive—especially the matcha latte and tiramisu coffee, both beautifully presented and not overly sweet. However, the main downside was the long wait time. Despite the café not being overly crowded, the dishes took quite a while to arrive. Additionally, the portion sizes are on the smaller side, so those with a bigger appetite may find them less satisfying. Overall, Cafe & Life Co. offers tasty dishes, great presentation, and a lovely atmosphere, but be prepared to wait a bit longer for your food. Still, it’s a charming spot worth visiting for a casual meal or coffee with friends.

Service, cleanliness, and atmosphere is wonderful. I've been here a lot. The dirty matcha/ matcha espresso is fantastic. Sometimes they have seasonal drinks that are yummy.
I'm sad they changed the presentation and taste of the fried chicken dish :( It was previously a nice light chicken karaage w/ mayo. Now it's popcorn chicken doused in spices (too peppery and salty!) and the mayo is all under the chicken instead of in a side dish ( better for dipping!). Also, the little salad that it used to come with is gone too. Unfortunate change :( used to be my go to snack dish.

Their food quality and service very poor! The price your charged for your food you’d expect some sort of service. Mcd has better service than this place I wouldn’t return here.

We ordered their catering for a few of our events. The food was great, gone within seconds after they were served. The store made sure to check the order details with us before the event date, and devliered all the order on time. Very good, will order again

Cafe & Life Co. has been my family’s favorite place for years and I recently ordered some finger foods for my son’s birthday. The kids love it! One mom told me her son said it was luxury 😆

Terrible customer service! We Ubered from the airport on a Sunday arriving at 4:30 to be told we could not order anything- not even a coffee because they already started cleaning up They didn’t care and just said “oh sorry” when we showed them the store and online said they are open until 5pm.

Their business hours are 5:00 p.m. However, we arrived at 4:30 p.m., they said we don't serve after 4:30 so why don't to change your hours.
The waffle was very clever banana. Clean and tasty with raspberry tang.

The cafe is advertised as being open until 5pm so we drove 25 minutes there but when we got there around 4:30pm they were no long serving any coffee. Quite disappointing. They should be advertised as open until 4:30pm then.

Nice spot to chill. It is rare to see a cafe having full meal and nice coffee in greater Vancouver.

We booked their catering service for a company event, and the team was incredibly professional and responsible. The food was delivered at 9:30 AM and was freshly prepared that morning. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was excellent, and the staff were very attentive. Highly recommend!
