Absolutely delightful experience at this cafe! The club sandwich was incredibly tasty - a perfect blend of flavors that left me craving more. And their cheesecake selection is a cheesecake lover’s dream come true! So many tempting options to choose from, each one more delicious than the last. A must-try for anyone who appreciates good food and a cozy atmosphere.

Quaint little place with lots of delicious beverages and yummy baked goods. Gentleman who served us was extremely friendly and approachable. My bacon n egg English muffin was like none other 👌 Also thoroughly enjoyed the pecan banana bread. Definitely recommend!
First visit to this Trees location, but I’ve been to many of the other locations. The space is clean and comfortable - it’s moderately-sized for downtown and wasn’t crowded around noon on a weekday while I was there. The barista was friendly. I had a veggie breakfast wrap, a slice of strawberry cheesecake (January special), and a cup of Chinese sencha. The breakfast wrap is your standard scrambled eggs wrap with a Southwest touch of black beans and peppers, with a side of spicy salsa. It was good. The strawberry cheesecake had a strong natural strawberry flavour. The texture was nice and light, this one was a bit more mousse-like than most of their cheesecakes. They use high quality tea leaves. My good impression here is consistent with the experiences I’ve had at other locations. Their food is standard cafe fare but notable for being fresh and filling. The cheesecake slices are a good size, not too dense, and all of the flavours I’ve tried so far (which is most of them) are memorable.
Reportedly, the Continental Coffee House was founded in 1979 and in 2012 the Main Street location was setup in 2012…the sourcing , roasting and brewing facilities are to be highly regarded and appreciated…the staff were very helpful in our discussion of which quality coffee we would purchase today…we chose Columbia Supremo as our coffee take home package today…and it was absolutely the right choice !….we took home very tasty baked goods as well..

Continental Coffee offers a delightful experience for coffee enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Their signature blend, a smooth, medium roast, boasts a perfect balance of acidity and body, with subtle hints of chocolate and caramel. The aroma is inviting, rich, and complex, making each sip a sensory pleasure. What sets Continental apart is their commitment to quality and sustainability. They source beans ethically from small-scale farmers, ensuring both freshness and a positive impact on the communities. The packaging, elegant and eco-friendly, reflects their dedication to environmental responsibility.
First time coming here. The place was empty. You order online. They won’t even come to the table to explain things to you. You go up to the front they give you instructions to order online. Then you wait for the drinks and food to come out. The service didn’t even come to check on us. Once all your food and drinks are serve they will get you to pay for the order then. The bubble tea I had was great but I hate using paper straws so bring your own straw if you have it. The food was okay nothing special.
The Chai wagon attendant/owner is such a nice and friendly person.the Chai is delicious and a great treat on a cold day. 10/10 would recommend 😊
I'm uncertain if it's the same cart from near Science World, but the person running it was amazing, and the tea was fantastic.

I wish I walked a little further to one of the several superior cafes nearby
The last batch of cheesecake (Dec 31st 2023) unfortunately had a very gummy texture with less cream cheese flavor. This was consistent between all three different flavours we bought. We have been getting slices for the past 2 years and haven't experienced anything like this. I hope that it was just a quality control issue and not skimpflation considering the price for each slice is considerable.

Continental Coffee House is a gem of a café that offers exceptional coffee, delicious food, and a charming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a quality café experience.
Trees, a chain of coffee shops found in multiple locations, unfortunately, offers coffee that is subpar and somewhat pricey. However, the food, particularly the cheesecake, is quite tasty. The atmosphere is calm, making it an ideal spot for work. I would only recommend Trees for its cakes, as the other offerings are somewhat disappointing.

My new favourite café. I love the coffee here, I have never had a more full bodied espresso, never bitter or sour. I haven't tried all the food, but there is a great selection, something for everyone. The service is great, they take pride in what they do. Music is a bit loud for me, no one should have to raise their voice to have a normal conversation.

Upon my first visit here it looked like a good place to have a cup of coffee with a friend so we could catch and talk. This place was perfect for that but I don’t know if our server at the time was having a bad day but she forgot what we ordered twice and got it wrong in the end. So that was a little annoying considering we just ordered a cookie with a drink. On top of that having to grab our orders when they were ready not big of a deal but it would add to the appeal if customers didn’t have to do that. I don’t think I would come here again based on my initial experience but I wouldn’t oppose to coming back if someone else wanted to come here.
Nice little cozy spot to hang out with friends with good seating inside. Owner is a friendly and personable. They have alcohol license here so they serve some fun cocktails and alcoholic bubble tea! I didn’t try it but maybe next time. Food and value here are okay, nothing spectacular but some fun options.

Best study place nearby! Affordable food and everyone is reading/working in side. When I don’t want to work in my school’s library I just visit here:)
I genuinely love the menu items at this place, and the items are pretty reasonably priced for the area. It's a nice cafe to stop by if you have an hour or two to kill, but they have GOT to get better about staffing their front counter. They only ever have one person taking and preparing orders, and as soon as they take an order, they prepare it from start to finish without acknowledging any new customers. If I come in for a quick grab and go muffin or pastry on my way to work, and I see ANYONE else in line or being served, I usually leave immediately, because I know it will guaranteed be at least 10 minutes before someone even says hello, or so much as "sorry, it'll be a few". A few times I have chanced it when someone else was waiting for their food/beverage and I've had more than 15min to spare to wait, and a good 80% of those times I've had to leave without ordering, so as not to be late. I would legitimately rather order food or coffee from Bean than any other coffee shop or bakery in the area other than maybe Thierry, but for now the only alternative that makes sense is either Mira's or Cobb's for a quick pastry.
Ordered food to go, but decided to dine in for croissant crawl, pre-ordering the ham and cheese mochi and almond double bake special items, and Belgian chocolate mocha as a drink.

Owner was working front of house as staff were off for Rememberance Day. He was doing his best on his own despite a heavy flow of customers and the Cafe website being down due to web traffic. He remained professional, attentive and methodical.

Croissants were crisp and fluffy with decent size and filling. Mochi brings a sweet edge to the savory combination of ham and cheese, reminiscent of mozzarella but somehow lighter. The almond and crisp flake of the croissant complement the gentle sweetness of the double bake.

Belgian mocha flowed smoothly, leaving no bitter trace of darker (or burnt) roasts, with creamy notes of the chocolate and milk accented by the right amount of tartness from the cocoa powder.

Aesthetic of the Cafe itself is modern with warm colors. A few art pieces and sculptures, while nice independently, don't harmonize well with the overall impression, making them stand out in an odd way. Doesn't change the excellent food and drink quality.

A worthwhile visit despite the staff shortage.
I used to love Trees, and it is still a good place to get some work done as it’s usually quiet, but some small changes they are making are just not it. They don’t have soup or salad anymore which really were the things that made it a good lunch spot. This location often has no music playing and then the other day there was music with Spotify playing but with advertisements… Their cheesecake remains awesome
Mint Chocolate Shake and Grill Cheese are my favorite's. The owner treat me so good that I always have time to come back here and well rested.
A few of us came here for a early evening snack. We ordered various bubble teas and a few snacky dishes. Even though we were the only ones in the restaurant, the server insisted that we place our order online. We couldn’t understand why, and when we were ready to pay, he gave us a discount cuz we ordered on line.

Ambiance: 4/5 – clean and pleasant environment
Food: 4/5 – good selection of bubble teas and snacks. We ordered fries, chicken tenders, and deep fried gyoza. All were tasty.
Service: 4/5 – pleasant & friendly server who encouraged us to order the appies to get a discount
Parking: 3/5 – metered parking on the street. Can be a challenge to find
Location: 3/5 – location just steps from T & T near the roundabout
Value: 3/5 good value
We came here by chance and had the best muffins we’ve ever had. We ordered the zucchini chocolate and the cinnamon apple ones. They were to die for! The coffee was also really good, will be coming back!
I love this place. The owner is super friendly and often working in the shop. His space generates a very organic community feeling and you will find rotating art from local artists every month, plus treats made by another small business in the store.

I live in North Vancouver and I often make the trip here just because I like hanging out to work, have a chat with a new person, and eat a super delicious and inexpensive breakfast sandwich.

Plus the coffee is good. Which I guess is important if I’m reviewing a coffee shop.

A real gem in the community. Definitely a space that welcomes customers to stick around and enjoy, which is sorely needed in this city.

Honestly one of my favourite places to go as it’s family owned and run. A true neighbourhood coffee shop. Mike and Mia welcome you with such kindness and warmth. I’ve been going here for years. My go to drink is the chai latte and when I stop by I often get a sandwich or snack as well.

Honestly, I didn’t expect this food should be good after I reviewed all the reviews here, and I realized this place has been underrated. The food is amazingly and unexpectedly delicious! Especially the lobster bisque! I have to say it’s the best lobster bisque in Vancouver!

One of the best teas I've had in my life.

If you like chai, you have to try the pink chai at this cafe, it will blow your mind. The barista is very skilled, and the flavors put together in this tea are otherworldly. Expertly crafted. Exquisite. I'm sad I can't have this chai every single day.

The coffee is great and the staff was friendly 😍
But they didn’t have enough pastries!
I've said it before but I do like a little love with my latte. It's my opinion that a coffee shop should be the place for a friendly greeting, a wee chat and service with a smile. After all, you are paying a lot of money for some hot water, a little milk and an add-on that costs a fraction of the price if made at home. Anyway, I went into this place for a matcha and greeted them warmly and the lady at the counter just scowled at me during the whole process. She really didn't seem to be happy but might I suggest perhaps a change of career? The matcha was quite good but I won't go back because of the attitude.
Hands down best Cappuccino in town! My life just isn’t complete without a cup of that magic stuff. Warm down to earth service and atmosphere, stellar experience. 11/10

Today I walked in to get a usual cup of coffee that I order on the regular from this specific Starbucks.
I asked a worker by the name of TYLER if I could have a green apron pour over. He went on with attitude saying he hates doing them because I MAKE HIM WASTE COFFEE. He then went to scan the entire bag of coffee saying that I could buy the bag of coffee or he could make me a different pour over. The way he approached the situation was very rude, and he was speaking to me with the utmost disrespect. I can understand that maybe this type of coffee isn’t popular for a pour over, but the option to have one made for me is there to be asked of. At first he tried to make me buy a whole bag of coffee, and then put some kind of blame on me for how I make him waste the bag of coffee.

He was completely disrespectful and rude towards me about the situation and I am very upset with this type of customer service because I’ve never had this particular issue with ANY Starbucks I have EVER gone too.

I will not be returning to this location if this employee is working. This is not the first time I have experience entitlement and very poor customer service from this employee.
The focaccia and ciabatta sandwiches are amazing! The espresso was slightly bitter.
this cafe is charming , great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and very tasty muffins with top quality ingredients and excellent coffee options…the whole environment speaks of comfortable and enjoyable dining…it as been a while since we last visited but we will be back soon…highly recommended…we really appreciated our cheese cake from Trees Organic shop , prepared and consumed on our back porch in a very pleasant way..very tasty !

The coffee and pastries are fine, the service is subpar. Been here a few times as I live in the area, and never receive a greeting or thanks from the staff. When I order pastries they throw the paper bag across the bar. I don’t get it. At first I thought perhaps a one-off, but it’s consistent. Plenty of other friendly and delicious coffee shops on Main.
Trees is a chain coffee shop, which you can find it in various locations. The coffee is not good and a bit expensive. The food is delicious, like the cheesecake. The place is quiet making it a good place to work. Trees I only recommend it to eat cakes, since the rest leaves much to be desired.
First visit was wonderful. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and open to making knowledgeable suggestions. The breakfast sandwiches are awesome, the eggs were surprisingly delicious. Coffee is fresh and balanced. Grabbed a bag of beans for home, will surely be back again to share stories with the locals who sit street-side. Lovely place to stop for a friendly cup of coffee amongst new friends.
A very different experience I was not expecting. You order and pay for everything online. They have a huge selection of items and everything was so delicious. At the time I was there, only one person was working and he was kind, friendly, and cracking jokes the whole night. He was absolutely incredible, but I hope he isn’t working all by himself so often, it’s a lot of stress.

My friend and I ordered a lot of food, which was all great. The only thing was the lobster grilled cheese wasn’t as warm and fresh as it should’ve been.

Always a great cup of coffee. All the food and pastry comes out of a package now but it is much better quality than other shops. Not like it used to be when they had pastry and food delivered fresh daily.
I'm always happy to get a fancy beverage, and their cottontail drink was lovely (a milk drink with fruit syrups and whipped cream). The two cheesecake slices we also bought were fantastic and very quickly devoured (about 8$ for each slice).

When we went, late afternoon on a weekday, there was plenty of seating and the cafe itself was cozy and nicely decorated. If I were in the area longer, I would definitely go back!
Foglifter coffee is a cafeteria that I loved, since the coffee and the food are very tasty. The place is very cozy and the workers are charming. I highly recommend it.

I have been a regular customer at Blenz coffee shop for over 5 years now. I usually stop there on may way to work depending on which shift I am on, as I am a healthcare worker. The staff at the location on Main St. have always been lovely, accommodating and very helpful to me over the years. I am also a BCAA member and have enjoyed the added perk of upsizing my drink at no cost. On June 29/2023 I stopped at Blenz for my coffee. There was a different lady at the counter whom I had never seen before. I asked her if there was the other usual staff member working as we had discussed a certain green tea coffee she was going to make for me to try that morning. The lady informed me she was “ THE OWNER”. Then continued to ask me what I wanted. I explained my drink, she attempted to understand and charge me an absurd amount. However I paid, and knowing I was a BCAA member at l least it would offset the cost a little. While I was waiting for my drink, and after I had paid, THE OWNER asked me for proof of my BCAA card. I explained to her that I didn’t have it on me as I was on my way to work at the hospital and didn’t carry cards with me, and I have been a regular customer for 5 years! She proceeded to tell me she would not honor my membership as she didn’t know me! I the told her to refund my money and that I would not be coming back.

She happily obliged. Its unfortunate that THE OWNER of Blenz would be so petty over a couple of dollars. Not only has she lost business from a good genuine person but my coworkers will now visit the many other coffee shops around other than Blenz. Remember everyone BE KIND!

Regards, very unhappy customer
A great option for coffee and sit down with snacks. Open atmosphere and seating outside as well. The coffee is pretty standard but there is a fine selection of pastries and other eats. Good location close to Arbutus.

Really cute and yummy cafe. Great service and tasty food and drink options. Really great spot to get some work done right in the heart of downtown.

Only downside is that there are limited outlets to plug in your electronics, so make sure your devices are charged!
This is the fourth BATW I have visited and it is remarkable how consistent the vibe is between all of them. They always have that warm, lived-in atmosphere and feel like a community centre as much as a coffee shop. Each location has a unique menu but the style of food is similar and meets the same standard. As with the other locations I’ve visited, the food (light stuff like sandwiches and baked goods) and drinks (coffee/tea and house-brewed soda) here are awesome. The muffins feel very wholesome. It’s cool that this location has protein smoothies - I tried the peach pear variety and it was delicious! Another notable thing about the Main St location is that in addition to the usual desserts like cookies and carrot cake, they have a ton of French-style tarts and cakes.
Saw this cart near Grandview Park - Commercial and it got me curious. First time to try their Ginger Tea and it was refreshing! Perfect for the warm weather earlier. The tea has a little kick probably coming from the cardamom 🤔 overall, I'm glad I tried it!

Wow this is a hidden gem! Or at least a lesser-known gem since it might be a stretch to say this location right in the heart of downtown is “hidden”. The shop is small but the little patio is very nice (the cushioned seats are a small but comfortable detail) and there’s also a little bit of seating inside. From the unassuming appearance you might not expect a big selection, but the drink menu is pretty extensive! They do all the standard coffee/espresso drinks and have a bunch of specialty tea lattes. And there’s a basic but sufficient selection of baked goods and made-to-order sandwiches/wraps. All reasonably priced.
I had a veggie breakfast wrap, a fudge brownie, and a golden milk. First I have to rave about the golden milk, which was the best golden milk/turmeric latte I have ever had, and this is a drink that I really like and will usually order when I see it. The drink wasn’t sweet and the spice blend was strong but not cutting or bitter - the taste was very smooth. I think the unique taste comes from the maca in their blend! Also they get bonus points from me for offering coconut milk, which is my favourite for a turmeric latte but is pretty uncommon to see at coffee shops.
The food was good too! The veggie wrap was your standard egg and veggie wrap, but the brownie was surprisingly super fudgy despite its average appearance.
I think the man working was the owner. He was really nice and it seems like there’s lots of care put into the place.
If you're going to go to a Trees in that area, make it this one, rather than the one close by at Broadway and Pine. The staff is really friendly and competent, and the atmosphere is excellent. There are really comfortable, cozy but spacious benches and tables and I found it one of the most pleasant "third spaces" that I've been in for quite a long time. The other one in that neighborhood is exactly the opposite and made me and my husband swear we were never going to go to a Trees again. I'm glad I tried this one.

Stopped in this afternoon to replenish our coffee supply (Potenza, best ever!) and stayed for a cappuccino (hubby), decaf oat milk latte (moi) and THE yummiest brownie we have ever tasted! Coffees were also delish!
Downed the lot before I could take photos 🤪😂
Thank you!!
This is my absolute favourite coffee shop in the city. The folks here really work hard to show up for their customers and have a positive impact on their days. The customer service is unparalleled. They’re lovely to chat with and sometimes they come out to pet my dog. Grateful for these folks and their commitment to facilitating genuine connections around coffee - I always leave with a smile. Such a great local spot!

My second home! I’ve been coming here for a couple of years and it is my favourite coffee shop. Great atmosphere, delicious coffee and food and very friendly staff. Love it!!
Yum! Digital remotely working people are welcomed here, with good Wifi (no time limit, unlike some café who will give you an hour only)
I spent half of my day today here, ordering 3 different things, and be that food or coffee, i really enjoyed everything!
Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, thank you ❤️
All the baked goods are SO tempting!
I will come back, great ambiance, friendly service and good products.
Less busy coffee shop with chill vibes and excellent coffee.

Lot less traffic here than the other coffee spots around the area. There's a decent amount of seats and I was able to sit and get some work done for a good hour.

Coffee was excellent as well, their espresso blend is subtle and smooth, with a hint of honey. Very impressed with the shot that was pulled.

Would definitely recommend stopping by here!
Small, busy coffee shop with quick service and decent coffee.

Location is kind of small so it'll be tough to find a seat. Lots of traffic as well. They make their drinks fairly quickly though. I got an Ethiopian espresso and only waited a couple minutes even though there were several people ahead of me.

On the coffee: a bit of a letdown. I think the roast may have removed some of the more subtle flavours. The coffee tasted kind of mute, with a hint of cherry and sourness. A decent shot, but could've been better.

Overall, the vibe is still great and I'd come for a quick grab-n-go.
I like Trees (a little too much) and I go to the one on Granville street a lot because it’s close to where I live.  Trees on Davie Street is another one of those coffee shops that I "usually" walk by all the time but rarely stop.  However, when I do stop here it’s a good experience.

Trees Organic on Davie Street has a very Davie Street vibe.  I can’t really describe it exactly, but it’s kind of a vintage vibe.  Like I was having coffee in someone’s kitchen.  The focus seems to be on people, rather than interior design.  Which is a bold marketing decision.  My pictures don't really do it justice. But if you come here you'll feel what I mean.

The staff are super friendly, so that really helps to set the tone.  I like coming here because I know what to expect.  In a world that is getting weirder by the day, it’s nice to have a place to go where you can feel safe and relaxed.

Wifi is good.  It’s not a big coffee shop but the seating is comfy, practical, and solid.  There are big bright windows up front that afford a good view of Davie Street, if you like to people watch.  Wifi is good, coffee is good, and like all Trees Organic Coffee Shops the chocolate croissants and the ham & cheese croissants, are also good.  I’ve never tried the wide selection of cheese cakes which they are well known for.  But they seem quite popular.

I go to this Belnz on a regular basis. My favourite thing on the menu is the Dark Chocolate Mocha however their PB banana Protein shake is amazing! Well kept, friendly and great location.
Relatively new coffee shop (estd. 2021) at the corner of Main and 20th. It used to be a Bean Around the World a while back.
Nice and roomy, lots of traffic on Sunday afternoon when I visited. Being a roaster, I had assumed they served a pourover but I was wrong, they only had drip coffee. A very good selection of pastries and cookies. Banana Chocolate Walnut muffin was slighly dry but yummy! The filling of rhubarb strawberry coffee cake was good as well.
Also, they sold many brewing equipments, which was a plus for me.
No high-chairs but enough room for strollers to maneuver and park around the table.
Every time we walked past this place, it was full of people. We decided to enjoy a coffee while we waited for our kitchen knives to be sharpened at Knifewear. Our usual drinks are cappuccinos and lattes made with oat milk. The foam was thick enough, and the espresso was chocolaty, very enjoyable for our first visit. However, when we came back a second time, the drinks weren't as nice, we didn't detect the chocolate flavour the second time, and the foam wasn't as micro. Is consistency a problem? Not really sure, we'd have to come back a couple more times ;-)
Fantastic coffee! Good Blueberry bar, not too sweet and healthy. Nice vibe, great neighbourhood cafe. Love it.

So sad, no more enjoying sitting outside, it's really cold and snowy!!! Be careful winter is coming)))
Stunning coffee, even better pastries.

We stopped by more a morning pastry and coffee and it was an absolutely stunning start to the day.

The cinnamon roll was absolutely phenomenal and wonderfully sticky.

We will be back before our vacation ends.

This Starbucks coffee joint was one of the many awesomely consistent experiences I have with this chain. A great rewards scheme, happy, friendly and talented staff with a nice vibe serving a tasty cup of Joe.
It's a good option for studying, quiet and clean. Coffee was good. Some of the tables are not stabled (rocking) so we couldn't use them for reading or working with computer. Staff are nice

Used to frequent this place. Now the interior just feels run down and really dirty. I do love an independent coffee shop and like to support local and it's sad to see tables not wiped and dirty floors, counters and ceilings. The coffee here has always been great, but unfortunately I have to give a lower rating for overall atmosphere and experience.
I have been on other Trees branches, so nothing to add about their high quality coffee and cakes. What is special about this branch is its vibe, cozy place to do work and friendly baristas.
The vendor is friendly.
Food is great value for money - you can't usually find good $3.50 sandwiches anymore, but you'll find them here.

I tried the cheese sandwich and ginger chai. Chai was good with just the right amount of sugar. Sandwich was crispy, buttered and nicely toasted with a nice aalo Tikki filling.
Overall, would recommend
Great non dairy options
Delicious chai and tasty sandwiches!
I would have given 10 stars if there was an option just because of the helpful staff . The Baristas Bella and Wyatt are super duper awesome!!! Made my day. The art pieces are done by them and they are mind blowing! For the coffee, it can't get fresher than this. The espresso shot was one of the best i had. I got the Peruvian beans for my aeropress and it makes a killer coffee. Both of them went out of their way to help me choose the best coffee beans. And took out time to explain about the different coffees. One of the best places to have a cup of coffee in BC. I didn't have the chance to try the cheesecake which is supposedly the best but will save the edit for another review.

Had no choice as other coffee houses were closing at the time. The place was just okay-good corner location. The staff was nice. Had to ask them to please clean the table as it was not cleaned or sanitized. Ordered Chai Latte and Regular Coffee. Not worth it(the presentation/taste) as per local coffee house though the proces were same. Wont go again and not recommended.

Stopped by for a quick coffee. The coffee shop is right by Burrard and 1st Ave. It’s quite bright with natural light and can get quite warm inside. The latte wasn’t bad. Good ambiance inside.

I ordered the Cobb salad! The freshness of the ingredients is simply amazing! Tasty, nice presentation, fresh, delicious... Perfect place for a quick pit stop to refuel for your day!!!
Chai Wagon Cart is a good place to go for chai tea. The chai tea is very tasty. You can always ask for the chai tea without sugar if you prefer. There isn't much of a selection of food though.

Typically friendly and very enthusiastic staff at KAHVE. Low key environment for a chill study session, working remotely, or just hang out. I will definitely be back again.

Had the Pink chai latte with oat milk with a cookie; highly recommend the cookie it’s definition of a perfect chocolate chip. That massive chocolate in the middle was the best. The outdoor seating is super cute, reminds me of Europe, perfect spot to enjoy with your girlfriends to chat over the latest gossip. Tip: the chai IS SUPER HOT! Watch out.

Great coffee but slightly bitter to my taste. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich and it was delicious. The service can be a little more friendly.

Amazing little coffee shop! Great coffee and they also offer a large selection of specialty coffee’s like bulletproof coffee, bulletproof coffee with peanut butter, blended coffee’s, coffee with collagen and teas! They hand make their sandwiches all through the day so it’s always fresh. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and inexpensive! They have a covered heated patio, perfect for people watching. The staff treat you like family. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I usually come to this Starbucks after shopping at T&T and it’s always been alright, but today the staff had terrible attitude and left quite a bad impression. I was looking for cream for my cold brew and saw three bottles of milk. Several others were also looking for the cream, so I told the lady who made my coffee. A few moments later, a staff carrying a bottle of cream came. I happily expressed my excitement that cream had finally arrived, but the staff looked at me rudely and said “I need to fill them up, right?” and rudely headed off. It was early in the morning so I didn’t expect her to react in such a defensive way. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

This cafe made some pretty decent coffee. The cappuccino had good body and it was topped with nice froth and chocolate sprinkles.

Food wise, there were some sweet and savoury options. I tried the baked cheesecake, which was quite a large slice - more than I needed, but overall a well made cheesecake.

There was plenty of seating available inside this cafe around lunchtime on a weekend, including stool seating up the front where you can leisurely people watch. It can get pretty quiet, or where people are having a conversation everyone else can hear them.

I like this particular place because here there is always friendly relations and fast service, I also always get coffee at exactly the temperature I ask for. for example, I cannot drink boiling water, so I ask you for hot coffee temperature, and cold coffee is tasty and not burnt here, which I often noticed at other points in this cafe.

I cleaned one star because the toilet is constantly closed here, and you have to go far to the toilet of the shopping center, although it has its own. this is strange and sometimes very problematic and unpleasant alas.
Friendly service. Outdoor seating. Usual coffee atmosphere. Matcha latte is what they are known for plus there hot chocolate.

This place is nice and the avocado smoked salmon toast (came recommended) was fantastic. But I found the coffee too bitter for my taste. The staff were far friendlier to each other and to regulars than to me (someone walking in for first time).

But that salmon toast is a huge 5 stars. Portion not big but makes you appreciate every bite even more.

I'm in Vancouver to ride the North Shore and always go on a mission to find a great coffee shop. Found one! I really like this place. The guy that has been in here the past couple days(owner?) is great, remembering me the next day, which goes a long way with me. Oh and the coffee/food is great!

There is a Starbucks accross the street. I happily go here instead.
A favorite spot of mine. Afternoon Medium Decaf Capucinno is hot, nice coffee flavor, and just the right amount of coffee and foam. The cheesecake is amazing, although I try and go for something lighter. The lemon loaf is light with the right amount of sweetness. I tried their vegan cookie for the first time today. Filled with dried fruits and nuts, it is great and quite filling. Stop by and have a break.

Really beautiful space with lots of natural light, plenty of room in seating for using laptops etc.

They have a good americano, but I got a cranberry orange scone and it just sorta tasted salty which wasn't awesome for me

Small, quiet, and cozy place. Great for studying, catching up with friends. Good quality drinks that are definitely worth your money.

We stopped by the cafe on Valentine's Day. My husband got a coffee made with the family’s own blend and I got a decaf mocha. Beautiful! I also snuck in a mini cannoli because it was so cute and I had never had one before. What a treat! Reg LOVED his coffee which he said was very strong without being too bitter. I was shocked that my mocha was sweetened just enough, that for once I did not have to add sugar. What a beautiful rich mug of mocha.

Continental Coffee House is a total treasure and I am thrilled to find out they have a location on Commercial too! I will be checking that location out for sure.
