My friend and I tried out this cafe a couple weeks ago. I got a cappuccino and my friend got an iced vanilla latte.

The coffee was good.

My friend's iced latte was served in a covered togo cup. Half way through her drink we noticed a strand of hair on the inside wall of the cup. We decided to let the staff know. We walked back in and talked to a lady and told her about the hair. She took the cup from us and started scratching cup a few times and asked us: are u sure it's inside the cup ?

She went to talk to a man who took our orders at the front. They both looked at the hair and scratched the cup as well. Then the man looked up and asked if we wanted another drink.

At this point, we just wanted to leave and did not want to deal with them anymore.
First, there were no apologies. Second, the way we were spoken to sounded like we planted the hair in there. Third, we were not offered the option for a refund.

This service was disappointing.

Sanctuary Coffee offers an intriguing specialty coffee experience. I tried their Ethiopian blend which delivered interesting complexity - distinct strawberry notes up front with a pleasant chestnut undertone and a lingering sweetness. The acidity was pronounced, which might not be everyone's preference but showcases the beans' character.

The café's rustic wooden interior with exposed brick and Edison lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere. Their South American and Colombian offerings round out a thoughtfully curated selection.

First visit to the shop while I'm a trip to Vancouverm. The service was pretty good but the American I ordered was very poor. It tasted like drip coffee and there was no sign of any crema. That's usually the sign of a barista who doesn't take pride in their work or using old beans. Why have an expensive machine when you don't even use it properly.

Best cafe in Steveston! The staff is very friendly and the owner Tim is such a gem. Great place to stop on a bike ride or before heading into the village. Better than any cafe in the village for sure.

First time there. It's such a beautiful place. The person who took our order was incredibly friendly and attentive. This was on Sunday, February 18th at 11 am. The cappuccino came with a delicious cookie, and it was excellent.We'll be back.
