49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts - MAIN

I asked for vanilla in my cappuccino, which I knew was an extra charge ahead of ordering. I go to pickup the drink from the bar, and noticed he didn't say vanilla, so I asked, hi is there vanilla in the drink? And he looked at the ticket said no, that's extra, I said I know that's what I ordered, he said no you didn't pay for that and kept making other drinks....ok...I walked back over to the front and said hi I asked for vanilla and then the guy charges me the 1.05 for the vanilla, I go back, guy is making drinks, doesn't acknowledge me, I said hi I just paid for the vanilla, and he grabs the drink, takes it to the espresso machine? And PRETENDS to pour syrup into it, I thought my eyes were playing so I just said ok I took the drink, sat down, tried it, no vanilla, I go back up and say hi can I please have more syrup in here I don't taste it, again he tries to grab the drink to take it to the bar where I can't see, so I ask can I pour it myself? And he frowns and hands me an almost empty, no label, plastic bottle, I squeeze in 2 tablespoons, sit down, stir, try it, no vanilla taste. I don't know what's wrong with this place but they are charging you a dollar extra for fake vanilla syrup which is just sugar water. Extremely disappointed with the service. Would not recommend.

The mornings are a gong show here so make sure you get here at least 30 mins early before work to line up, then enjoy your self calmly. I recommend the ginger tea. Every sip refreshes your palate and feels like a cleanse lol. It's very earthy and invigorating. You can't go wrong with their brand of coffee or beers as well.

The bacon apple fritter glazed donut has been my go to lately. We are very fortunate to have Parallel a part of this Main Street community!

Even though I’m a sucker for a rotating menu the folks at Luckys always out do themselves. Season after season the donuts are just so on point and amazing. Plus the staff all seem to actually enjoy their job and that really shows in the quality of work. Love the passion fruit one tooooo much🥰

Employees need a bit more training. Although the food and drinks here are pretty amazing- as a first time visitor and customer, I couldn’t be more disappointed with the employees here. The cashier (tall brunette lady), was extremely condescending with our questions about their drinks and spoke to us in a tone that made us feel stupid for again being first time visitors. Afterwards, while waiting for our drinks, the barista (bearded gentleman wearing plaid and backwards hat) that was making our drinks forgot our drinks were all to-go and didn’t even acknowledge his mistake and again spoke to us with only annoyance and arrogance. I would definitely recommend people to try this place but DONT expect exceptional service.

Many flies were swarming the donuts on the display shelf. Very gross.

Great Flash brew coffee and tea. MMM Donut was good.

The large Latte for $6.75 had a nice design, but the steamed milk was a bit too chunky. The flavor was overly bitter, lacking any distinct coffee notes. Plus, the cafe atmosphere wasn't exactly chill.

A bit overpriced but nice atmosphere. Coffee was good but took awhile for not being busy. Strawberry cruller was a bit dry for me but my wife liked it.

Patio is not dog friendly. Doughnuts are often disappointing.

Good cafe but very expensive. I paid 11$ for an americano and a croissant… a bit too much and not worth the price!

Worth the drive from Langley to get the best donuts in the Lower Mainland!!! You'll never want any other donuts again once you've had Lucky's 💕 the taste, texture and freshness of them is incomparable - seasonal flavours are on point and the classics like the old fashioned are exactly what a donut should be! Can we open one in Langley??? 😂

As someone from Berlin, I was curious to see what a Berliner would taste like in Canada. The one I tried was pretty good — not too sweet. I particularly liked the filling, but a traditional Berliner is slightly fluffier. The flat white was also excellent.

Very cute coffee shop! Enjoyed the ambiance and the coffee was pretty good. Nothing special but definitely nice place to chill at.

While the donuts are always great and I enjoyed my ginger Chai latte, the service was pretty bad today. The server was rude and tried to tell me chai isn't tea, it's powder. Chai literally translates to tea. You may need to check staff have a basic understanding of tea and coffee and aren't rude to customers.

What a gem 🔥 They have our favourite donuts! Coffee is very well brewed and the baked goods are amazing. If they ever have the crème brule donuts available dont even think twice. Absolutely to die for
