I've reviewed them higher in the past but they're definitely getting weaker. The staff messed up both my name and my order. If management actually reads these, let staff know if someone says their name, you should repeat it in the order exact, not shorthand. I'm a Joshua, not a Josh. Basic, real 101 customer service.

49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts is a popular spot in Kitsilano, known for its delicious coffee and a variety of vegan donuts in multiple flavors. With a cozy conservatory area and a great covered patio right on 4th Ave, it provides a nice place to enjoy a meal or relax, whether indoors or outside. The café features charming, iconic turquoise cup ware, adding to its inviting atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming, though the busy environment can sometimes lead to a wait. Recently, Lucky’s Donuts introduced a spring menu, and while some fruit-flavored donuts like the strawberry old fashioned and chocolate strawberry are considered good, they may be seen as somewhat average for the price. The triple chocolate doughnut has also received praise for being delicious and moist. Customers highly recommend the donuts and fresh Americanos. The café’s calm atmosphere makes it a favorite in East Kitsilano, though the music inside might make it difficult to hold video calls or do intensive work. The outdoor seating area is partially covered, providing a pleasant space, though it can be slippery when wet. The café also features a new landmark—a 50’s inspired spinning art installation—that adds to its unique charm. Overall, 49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts is a welcoming place with a mix of good food, friendly service, and a lively, relaxed vibe.
