I love Blenz. Sadly, many of the franchises seem like the are run down. I remember when I visited this location several years ago and you couldn't get a seat, because the place was packed. That's not the case now. This particular location has a very strong smell of mold and/ or mildew upon entering. The washroom was dirty and extremely dusty. The service was friendly and the drink delicious. I'm a big fan of the dark hot chocolates made with oat milk. I hope they can eventually refresh this location and get rid of the odour. It used to have such a great vibe.

We walked in with snacks from another cafe. A woman approached us and said we couldn’t eat it in here— that’s fine because we’d be ordering from Blenz anyway. We said we’d leave it to the side and not touch it. She said we still couldn’t have the food in here, regardless of consumption or not, so we then said we’d drop it off elsewhere and come back. The woman replied she’d have to “minimize [our] stay” when we came back. It was very unnecessary and ill mannered when we were compliant with all that she was asking of us. Will not be going back.

Only one employee running the place herself on a public holiday.

This location says both online and right on the door that it opens at 730, and the person (typically the same middle-aged woman who's worked here for years) who opens up in the morning is always late. This is very poor advertising and is frustrating when you coordinate your route just to find out it's still not open.

Blenz Coffee stands out for its quality beverages, comfortable environment, and friendly service. It's a recommended spot for anyone looking to enjoy a good cup of coffee in a pleasant setting.

Worst customer service of my life i felt incredibly uncomfortable. The barista was INCREDIBLY rude to myself and my friends. First my friend came and ordered and later asked for the bathroom key and the female middle aged barista was super rude and told her a specific place to stand and that she would give the key to her in a few minutes. Then myself and my two friends walked in and she GLARED at us. I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Ordered a drink and tipped and she still seemed bothered. Then my friend asked for an iced latte, she made it hot and then refused to remake the order. Then our other friend came and she glared at him as well. My boyfriend came and moved a chair over to the table and she called to him across the restaurant that he could not use the chair. Then she said very pushy across the cafe saying “what can i get you started” pressuring him to order”. my friend had a sandwich and she gave her a dealt glare and told her no outside food even though she wasn’t eating it. She brought my friend to tears with her harsh tone and glares. Overall terrible experience.

Smart serve! I appreciate a clean environment, that is organized to go to for zoom meetings and in person peer/intro meetings as a leader I feel they are very accommodating, punctual.I remember the non menu item I needed that was made for me on my busiest zoom calls.Thank you.

The lady working this morning at 4th and Alma was amazingly kind and hospitable, and made what is hands down the best latte I’ve ever had.

I was looking for a place to work on my laptop and drink coffee for 2 to 3 hours.I discovered this location using Google Maps. I chose this one based on the reviews and available parking in the neighbourhood. When I first arrived, I chose a seat and placed my luggage on it, removed my jacket, and began pairing my new earbuds with my laptop in preparation for ordering a hot coffee. It was when the barista (who later introduced herself as the owner) asked if I needed anything. I told her I'd be ready to order in 5 minutes after I finished setting everything up. She had left the counter less than 5 minutes before and was on the floor asking me what I was going to order. It seemed strange to me, and I told her I'd definitely order something to drink or eat after my tasks were completed. She did, however, mention that they have strict rules regarding orders.After a while, I left my laptop and went to the counter, asking her what those strict policies in this place are because I want to stay here for 3 hours, and if it's a problem for your business, please let me know so I can go to Starbucks or Breka.She explained that this is not a library and that people usually order an item when they arrive and then stay as long as they want as long as they respect other customers.I ordered my coffee and stayed for three hours before leaving to go to Breka next door and spend more time there!!I'm not sure how they were customers or what their experiences with previous clients were, but being that pushy was unusual.
