Some people who are clearly bitter with life like to give small places like this bad 1 star reviews to make themselves feel better but these reviews are not accurate. This is a nice place with nice staff. The bad reviews are highly suspect.
I come here all the time as I live next door, so was surprised to read some of these bad reviews. I've only ever had good experiences with the staff, and the coffee is good.

Just a quick review as I was there for about 2 minutes only: I really like a rich, hot, black espresso, and the friendly fellow there quickly made for me one of the best take-out doubles I've had. Wish I'd asked for a triple.

Had to deal with violent staff behind the counter. Suggested a friend to walk over to Coffee Bar as we made it a day to try different coffee shops in Gastown. Coffee Bar had been one of my favourite coffee shops to go to in Gastown in the past. Today we had to deal with a screaming lunatic who worked behind the counter. Aware of the no public bathroom sign, my friend needed the bathroom and I asked the staff asked if she can use the bathroom and while I chose a food item. I have multiple food allergies so needed time to decide what didn’t have dairy or gluten as there was not a lot of food options left, only pastries. Another worker was available to help and I let her know I needed time, yet she was quite persistent multiple times keeping her eyes on me waiting for me to make my order quickly. I was deciding between the gluten free bar or trying something else, and the other “lunatic” staff glared at me and started shouting behind the cash register what I was going to order and that I needed to order. Shocked, I said I needed more time, and she said that I needed to order because my friend was using the bathroom and that I said I would buy something. I told her that I am allowed to take time to make a decision, but from her aggression I thought of how the service was already incredibly unprofessional, and was put off by her rudeness and lack of anger management skills. My friend came out of the bathroom and had taken her wallet out and said she would buy something too. I signalled to her we needed to leave because the staff was being aggressive. As we left, the “lunatic” chased and ran after us while behind the counter and screamed at us, screaming “YOU’RE A LIAR” repeatedly. Everyone in the cafe was startled by her screaming, and people outside the cafe was watching us get yelled at by this worker since my friend had already opened the door. The other worker with the red hair didn’t bat an eye or turn her head to the altercation. The lady screamed at us for a good 20-30 seconds, and my friend and I both exited the scene. We both work in the service industry and had never experienced anything quite like this, Buro literally has employed a mentally ill, unstable, violent staff. Be weary of entering or supporting this business.
Very friendly stop for a family coffee. 5 Star almond croissant!

This is my favourite cafe in all of downtown. Great for people watching. I love the slight bit of bitterness in their lattes.

I was denied a tasting of the ice cream, we ordered “chocolate hazelnuts” and we got an atrocious plain chocolate on a tiny cup, it was 7 dollars and and an absolute scam
