“As per usual, I had such a great time, I’ve been more than blessed and welcomed to Melo Patisserie. The whole team is nice, smiling and really helpful. It was a sunny day and I decided to go out to get some great treats. I got myself CIABATTA BREAD sandwich with salami and Dijon. It was simply delightfully delicious, the combination of the ciabatta and the melted Swiss cheese is always a win to me but I think this is the best one I ever had. Crunchy and full of flavours. And of course my favourite the London Fog. To indulge myself I finished with a Melo passion fruit ganache gluten-free easter cake, and my heart melted. I looked at their viennoiseries as well but decided to be reasonable and to keep the crave for my next visit. They look so tasty and the layers of the croissants are so beautiful so appetizing. Despite that I enjoyed the location, the pâtisserie is beautiful, it reminds me of me Paris with the decoration and the details from the nice looking plates to even the canvas exposition, everywhere you look it’s a pleasure for the eyes. I highly and strongly recommend Melo patisserie and I’ll come back again. Thank you for the great time ?? before I forget their patio is also so cute next time I’ll bring some friends.“
“This is an interesting place with both Mexican and Italian food.The reg latte / cappuccino were okay but the horchata latte was fantastic!Like the tiramisu but the basic Mexican breakfast was okay. So overall, depends on what you order! Service at counter is very good but expectation is you clear your table after you are done.I would go back to try more dishes for sure.“
“Best Lahmajun and Pide!!! Free coffee with foodWe heard about this place from a friend at our break time, we decided to go and try their Lahmajun. Wow, we were amazed with the taste and prices! The Lahmajun I should say is the best in Vancouver based on the quality, taste, and the amount of beef used on the bread. Also, it is only 5.99. I also ordered Pite for to go, but I just couldn't resist and wait, and I ate the whole dish there. It tasted so delicious, and the crust was amazing, it reminded me of the Piroshki dough. We also got Ayran for only $2 which was very tasty.The prices are very affordable for the quality and taste.2 Baklava for 3.25 is the best deal!The staff are so friendly and helpful. They were so welcoming and nice.We were actually offered free coffee with our food!“
“Love this cafe! I am new to east van and this cafe is easily my favourite place to visit. It has a perfect cozy cafe ambience, like literally straight out of those lofi cafe study videos lol! The latte's food and pastries are great. The lemon loaf is literally the best I have ever had. The staff are lovely and the community here is really nice. It's the only place I can study properly for my finals“
“Love this place! If you weren't aware, ahead of time, that it was vegan, you'd never know. Just letting you non-vegans know this, so you're not scared away. :-)I had a latte and the soup/sourdough special. OMG, the bread was amazing! I was savoring the taste an hour later. Soup and latte were excellent, too.I don't know the name of the music, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I have one complaint, it's that it feels, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, a little like an office lunch room. It is not the most welcoming environment. That said, though, I will definitely be back. So nice to have a complete vegan coffee shop.“
“Out of this world waffles. I've never been to Brussels, but I don't know how they could beat Nero. The Liege Benedict Waffle with Avocado was incredible, I never considered savory waffles before. It was crispy, fresh, and well flavored. I'm not usually a fan of spicy food or hot sauce, but their homemade hot sauce was a perfect blend of acidity, flavor, and heat adding just the right zest. The Banella Brulee Belgian Waffle was also exquisite, just the right amount of chewy waffle with the velvety chocolate whipped cream and ice cream.The service was top notch, we were immediately greeted with a smile, and were initially seated on the patio with a slight reluctance on our part. As we were seated, we were informed that a seat inside became available and they quickly accommodated us inside. The food and beverages came out incredibly fast, and I felt well taken care of.The atmosphere and ambiance was perfect, a great blend of wood, metallic elements, tile, leather, and live plants giving a very balanced industrial yet cozy vibe.Prices were quite fair for the portions and quality. We ended up having a bill just over C$50 for two drinks and two entrees.Would highly recommend. No complaints.“
“I love this place! First time being here and I'm hooked. I had a Carmel Frappuccino and it tasted exactly how I always want them to taste ^-^ the chicken and bacon panini was delicious, and the bread was fresh made. The carmel cruffle was the perfect crisp and tasted absolutely delectable. ? will recommend. It's definitely added to my list!“
“Honest to Pete Coffee Roasters is an absolute gem! The lattes here are nothing short of sublime; every sip is a testament to the full-flavored richness of the beans, perfectly complemented by the velvety steamed milk. I personally love adding just a touch of honey to mine for that extra hint of sweetness. The ambiance of the place is just as impressive as the coffee – it's intimate and brimming with character, complete with the owner's prized guitars adorning the walls. And if you're lucky, you might even be treated to a serenade by the man himself (along with his talented and beautiful partner and wife) as you enjoy your second cuppa. A truly unique and delightful experience!“
“5-Star not only for their coffee but also service. The staffs are friendly and polite. My latte is perfect. For breakfast, the avocado toast is very refreshing with a lot of cilantro mixed. Recommend to add poach egg as it goes really well together. The breakfast BLT is also tasty. Highly recommend!“
“I can't believe I haven't been here before! I'm a local resident who happened to be walking by and I popped in for an espresso, fantastic! Friendly staff too. I'm planning to come back for another espresso and pick up some supplies as well.“
“#e Food offers a delightful dining experience with its inventive sandwiches, cozy ambiance, and commitment to quality and sustainability. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch sandwich in the city.“
“The reference point for specialty coffee in Western Canada, Revolver is a hip coffee joint located in the gastown district. They serve excellent espresso and can prepare coffee in a myriad of different ways such as cold press, siphon and pour over. Although they don’t roast their own coffee, the feature the best local and foreign roasters including Phil and Sebastian from Calgary, Bows and Arrows from Victoria and superstars Tim Wendelboe from Oslo and Rubens Gardelli from Rimini.“
“Amazing cozy cafe with fantastic cakes and light food options including sandwiches and korean food. Definitely try all the different cake flavors! The owner makes the most delicious cakes that have perfect sweetness and they have so many different options that we will definitely be back to try every flavor. The owners are also really nice and caring. The 5 star review on google maps speaks for itself.“
“This is such a cute spot!! I visited yesterday to have a little snack and read my book on a nice day. There aren’t too many seats but most people seem to get their drinks and food for takeout. Both employees behind the counter were very kind and helpful, the girl was asking me about my book.I ordered the salted caramel crème brûlée, pikachu macaron, and thai jasmine iced tea. All of it was absolutely delicious and so so cute. The macaron was my favourite. I’ll definitely be back :) ?“
“Me and my friend were in the café 3 times in just a week because it was so delicious.They have the best avocado toast i have ever eaten. Also the food came fast and the cashier was really friendly.We would always come back and recommend it to everyone in Vancouver.We also tried their Easter Cookie which was great too!!?“
“Despite the name, Kranky Cafe is staffed by the nicest, most pleasant people you will find anywhere. The vibe they've created here is everything you could want from a community cafe. I was made to feel so welcome from the first time I walked in, and since then the baristas have cared enough to remember me, learn my name, ask how I'm doing/what I'm up to and follow up on it the next time I'm back, which is sometimes a month or more later. I've really never been to a coffee shop where the baristas show such genuine interest in customers. I'm not naturally very outgoing so I usually don't really get to know staff at cafes that I frequent, but it's not like I feel like these people are forcing me to converse with them, they're just really nice and it is infectious!As wonderful as the people are, I wouldn't be coming back over and over again if the food wasn't equally as wonderful, but it absolutely is. Their baked goods are homemade and it's very evident in the quality - everything tastes so wholesome! The sandwiches and wraps are great - the Big Veg sandwich, my favourite, is a killer vegan option. And they make good drinks too. The espresso drinks are pretty standard but brewed strong (but not TOO strong), and I think all the tea drinks (including the tea lattes and just straight-up tea) are excellent.They offer a lot of variety in the menu. It's not a vegan cafe (there are plenty of meat options) but there are some very good options for vegans: an assortment of vegan baked goods and two vegan sandwiches. They whip up new things from time to time.It's pretty small inside but they have a lot of patio space for when the weather's decent. They have blankets you can use to keep warm. I love the vibe, it's colourful and cozy inside and the patio has a rustic garden feel.This is the place to visit if you need to lift your spirits.“
“Honestly I hate glasses shopping it’s so tedious.But this place made it easy and fast and the staff were super friendly. Was helped out by a taller handsome guy with glasses! Quick and easy process! Highly recommend to everyone to come here for coffee or for the glasses!“
“We went here for brunch on a Saturday and the place was very full. We didnt know how popular this place was so we came at peak hour. Unfortunately we had to stand outside to wait for our table due to limited standing space inside but once we went in things moved pretty quickly. One couple sitting nearby even got a gentle reminder from a server to order as soon as possible since they took too long.We got the shakshuka and the free range eggs they used tasted so much better than what we usually get at the supermarket. It’d be nicer if the eggs were less cooked but the dish overall was very pleasant.The interior is very instagrammable too. If you’re into eclectic decor with local vibes, this is the place for you. However, be aware of the time limit during the weekend.“
“I had such a great experience at Viva cafe & Bakery ? I’m coming to this place since a while and new some Pastry chefs who worked there in the past. Here I am again and that time I’ll let a review for everyone to enjoy their visit to the coffee.I got myself two sandwiches, apparently I was hungry that day, is that the word ? Lol. I choose the Chicken pesto and the breakfast muffin. As I came late I didn’t get the chance to try the sweet treat that I wanted. So let me get back to the sandwiches ?They were simply divine ! Delicious. Couldn’t figure it out which one I prefer. The chicken pesto was excellent, the ciabatta bread crunchy and crusty just enough, the chicken was real chunk of thick and tender cooked to the grill, still juicy but not loose, the pesto almost intense. As soon as you bite it once you’re already biting for a second time without awareness… that’s a 12/10. Simply my favourite sandwich in town so far, period.For the breakfast muffin, same same, the bread is delightful, the ham so flavourful, spinach well seasoned, and the egg ? so nicely cooked. Great job, I highly recommend and strongly suggest anyone to try them, you won’t be disappointed. The team is really nice and helpful, smiling and friendly. The location is really cute, and their patio is meant to be enjoyable.See you next time !!! I’ll come back for the sweet treat ? ?“
“If I were a kitty waiting to be adopted...I'd definitely want to be hanging out here.Adorable happy kitties very well taken care of. Excellent staff who remind of us of simple respectful kitty viewing rules. I highly recommend this place.“
“Heard allot about this place and the images of their donuts look amazing…so I went to take look myself.Well they didn’t let me down, donuts look even better in person, and a good size donuts.Not only fancy designed, but delicious, the dough is nice and fluffy, not chewing like you find in other places…which in my opinion set them apart.“
“Good cafe near Kits Beach. We tried the latte, chocolate croissant and skor cookie ?Loved the croissant, even though we got it at 5pm it was super fresh and the layers were still crisp with a soft center. The latte was made well, maybe I would have enjoyed a stronger coffee. The cookie was good but just felt a bit off, I tend to like more chewy cookies.Visit this place if you like coffee and croissants!“
“Nice and quiet cafe great for studying or working. I really liked their banana loaf, and the barista took his time to redo my London fog because it wasn’t too hot. I was only expecting that he would heat it in the microwave but appreciated that he went to a great length for customers! Highly recommend this place.“
“I came here because I was craving a good burger, but decided to go with their brunch menu instead since it happened to be a Sunday morning. Had the steak and eggs - super tender beef, perfect golden yolks, and super satisfying crunchy smashed potatoes. Will definitely be back for the burgers! Good food, good service, and good vibes.“
“I was very excited to go to this place and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Kunefe wasn’t as good as I hoped (6/10) but Borek, and mixed plate -especially Baba ganoosh and eggplant salad- were top notch (9/10). Turkish coffee was served in traditional form, loved it.I suggest spinach and cheese borek over cheese or the Mediterranean.“
“Visited Pallet with friends and had an amazing time! The staff, especially the manager, were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was fun and lively. Not to mention, the food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend stopping by for a great coffee experience.“
“I had a tiramisu latte which I loved! So I can't really comment on the quality of food.As far as regular latte goes, I didn't like it. It was way too milky and too less caffeinated for my taste. That's why i cant give 5*However I recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood.“
“Decided to treat myself yesterday and it had been awhile since my last time eating here. This restaurant never disappoints! I ordered the vegetarian breakfast burrito bowl and man was it ever delicious! The chipotle sauce that was drizzled overtop was just amazing and I would buy a bottle of it if I could! It was a large portion and worth every penny! Their wait staff are all very cheerful and friendly! One of my favourite places to go in the Westend!“
“Finally , had the chance to drop in ( got a table at the front window )Always packed and line ups. Today i guess its a Good Friday ( it was my Lucky Day ). Had the Ham/Cheese Croissant and the Yuzu Tart. Have to say the food items including my partner Tea was amazing delicious. Great Friendly services and love the atmosphere. ( LAP TOP/TABLET FREE CAFE ). FINALLY! An actual Cafe has the policy ( no Lap Top/Tablets ). Have to say its a Cafe to enjoy to relax! ZEN!!! Love their soothing musics! Just love it! Its not a place for more typing or getting FREE WIFI or just for the plugs outlets ( freebie for usages ). Finally! a place called a real CAFE! Great merchandises items selections. Just had not checked out their clothing lines ( unsure if any MEN wears ). Will be back again! If i can i would give a 5+ for them if i could!“
“Amazing collection of pastries and brunch sandwiches. I tried pain chocolat, pan Swiss, laminated brioche and breakfast sando and a sweet that I don’t remember the name of which was actually the only thing that I didn’t like.I loved every item I got except the one that I don’t remember the name of and I would recommend laminated brioche the highest. I had to get 3 of those because my 3 year old son devoured them as soon as I got it so I had to get 2 for him so he let me enjoy mine!!Oh btw the cappuccino and latte was world class. Loved how fresh and aromatic it was.Update:I loved the laminated brioche so much that I came back again alone to enjoy it to the fullest it was amazing again.I also tried pan Swiss again and tried a new item: Ciabatta. I wasn’t the fan of the ciabatta especially the soggy grilled lettuce was not appetizing at all and the best thing about that sandwich was eating the bread by itself. I would recommend breakfast sando over ciabatta every time.Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly the chef actually came to our table just to meet my 3 year old who twice ate my laminated brioche making me have to go back and order laminated brioche 2 separate times until I finally got to eat it.“
“Love Mah Milk bar, cozy place to grab a coffee and snack to go or stay in. We stopped in for a coffee and toasties, both were excellent. The owners are so friendly and always greet us with a huge smile. Also, the specialty groceries are excellent and worth stopping in to check out.“
“Absolutely love this coffee shop. The seats are so incredibly comfortable, which is such a luxury when you're spending time in a cafe to study, read or work. The atmosphere is beautiful with a moss wall, and really unique artwork. I liked that there's an area around the corner from where you order to give you privacy and less noise to work in. The lighting is super cool - lit up marble finishes. I had a Chaga latte for the first time, and it was so good! I'll definitely be back to try the food.“
“Lively, small cafe with a ton of greenery! No outlets so not great for remote working and wifi was moderately fast. Much better suited for socially grabbing coffee for which it had a wonderful atmosphere.Matcha was very high quality but could use more whisking since there were small matcha clumps in the drink. Tasted creamy and earthy. Thought all the pastries looked superb. Overall, good spot and worth visiting!“
“It was a nice and cozy experience, if you order a bingsu icy you can have little plastic bowls to share, it was quite nice and the service was nice as well. They have us chocolate eggs since it's easter which I thought was a nice touch“
“I am very picky about my matcha and this is my favourite spot to grab a matcha latte. They use a nice grade of matcha, prepare the matcha base properly with a matcha whisk, and the matcha to other ingredient ratio has been consistently good!Their hojicha latte and coffee drinks are also very good! LOVE the baked goods here. The staff are also wonderful!It’s located at E Hastings and Garden Dr along the main road (accessible by the R5 bus or 7 Nanaimo). Seating is limited, but the ambience is so cozy.“

“Warm and gooey… I make a mess every time licking my fingers at the end. But that is a part of my ritual of eating the best cinnamon roll in town!A bit pricy (almost $6 a pc) and quite sweet (always with glaze) but it is ok to indulge myself sometimes, right?“
“Top notch Bakery. Friendly Staff. Great Service. Fast Service. Good Prices for the area. If you’re looking for delicious bread or a delicacy of a tasty pastry this is a must stop. The Sausage Roll was delicious, the puff pasty was light and full of flavor. Cozy Atmosphere for a such a small place, but the welcoming atmosphere was refreshing compared to other bakeries I visited the same day. Their bathroom was super clean and had a super fancy toilet. The coffee left a pleasant smell in the air. They have a cute wall of dog pictures in the back for customers dogs. Overall this Bakery had one of the best vibes along with delicious treats.“
“The good was amazing, I had the enchanted forest waffles and the espresso martini, I would definitely order both again!Also some excellent and friendly service by our waiter Chris.I am definitely going to go back again!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free and gluten free friendly!!“
“I am never disappointed when I go to Trafiq. Whether to grab a quick drink or a bite to eat. The service and food is always excellent. Their cakes are especially delicious and a big hit for birthdays.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free options“
“Loved my experience here. My server Natalie was kind and let me switch my cup to another that I thought was prettier. She had excellent tea recommendations. I love that the teapots are smaller so that you can try a few types of tea! At other tea places I've been to they only offer one giant pot. I dined alone as I was on a layover and still had a great time. I found myself quite full with their spring time high tea- the food is small but I couldn't finish all of it. If you're coming on your own I would recommending bringing a book with you, there is a shop just down the road to do so. Everyone at the shop was full of smiles and seemed to enjoy working here For real Natalie you brought good vibes and made my experience awesome!“
“A cozy place where you can enjoy delicious coffee in a friendly atmosphere.Conveniently located at Nelson square, it has both inside and outside seating with great view on cherry blossoms.World class service is like an icing on a cake, always makes me to come back to enjoy it.“
“Went for a quick lunch with a friend. I got the BLT with tomato soup. It was very tasty. The bacon was perfectly cooked and the sourdough was crispy and delightful. The soup was a nice combination. My friend got their chocolate croissant and she very much enjoyed it also. Customer service was great. Will be back again!“
“The best Gelato in Vancouver, I absolutely love it. The owner is amazing, friendly and kind hearted individual who truly cares about his customers. I stopped by today to grab a Gelato (even tho they were closed) the owner made it happen as I ran into him outside the cafe. If you’re in the area definitely worth the visit you will not be disappointed.“
“Spent about a week in Vancouver last week and after trying Rocanini my first morning there I ended up coming back every morning first thing! 10/10 vibe, well thought out space, and kind service. I recommend their double shot espresso (iced or hot, I tried both)!“
“This is a super cute little coffee shop right next to Burrard Station. The Italian gentleman (Mario, presumably) who runs the place is very charming and absolutely hilarious, and the other staff are very sweet and helpful as well. Ordered a caffè latte and a caprese panini and was very happy with it. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area!Vegetarian options: I really enjoyed the caprese panini (with cheese but no meat), they have other vegetarian options as well“
“Had a fantastic afternoon tea! Lucked out with a table upstairs by the window, as well as our server Teanna (who was so cool and so much fun!). The food was excellent, and I love that they include a spritzer with the afternoon tea, as well as your choice of unlimited tea and coffee-based drinks.“
“Found this tea place on our day out, and I was totally bowled by the options they have. A huge menu to choose from. I was visiting from Toronto, and finding masala chai in Vancouver was the best thing that could happen. The girl at the tea counter,I wish I could see her name tag, suggested to try masala chai. I wanted authentic masala chai , and she gave me a siliguri chai. Despite being busy and alone, she made sure I got what I wanted.“
“What truly set inBtwn Cafe apart was the service. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I was comfortable and enjoying my meal. Their recommendations were spot on, and they even shared a bit about the cafe's history and their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients.“
“What a great place! Finally stopped in to Le Parfait for some lebanese ice cream today and will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items.The large cup comes with three flavours, which is perfect! I got the miska (I think this one was my favourite), ashta, and lotus biscoff.“
