Sequoia Coffee

This Coffee place is similar to Starbuck Restaurant. I had camel mariato coffee and some banana bread. I also ordered a slice of coffee cake đ°đ and cranberry pastry to take back to my Hotel room for later. Oh!! It was delicious đđ€€!!!
This restaurant is part of the Royal museum.

The eternal mystery of a tourist attraction cafe closing earlier on weekends than weekdays.
Although I had a really good cup of coffee, I had to return my ham & cheese sandwich since the bread was so stale I could hardly bite through it. It was replaced with a â fresh one â which the server microwaved to make it seem less stale; it too was at least a day old! Although the server was very pleasant and the coffee was excellent, Iâd be reluctant to ever eat there again. Iâm surprised that such an important venue would serve substandard food.
Poor customer service - won't be back again!
It was towards the end of the day and there were hardly any other customers around. We ordered 2 drinks to enjoy on the comfy couches. I kept looking over to see if our drinks were ready. After 10 minutes, I went closer, and realized that from where we were sitting, it was not possible to see if drinks were ready. Turns out the drinks had been sitting there all along, getting cold. They weren't labelled and so I had to ask which drink was which. I was disappointed the barista didn't let us know when our drinks were ready, like most other coffeeshops I've been to or worked at. I had a mocha and was disappointed with how bitter it was. I wish I had not left a tip!

Came to the museum for a business meeting and stopped at this café, Long line-up first thing in the morning, but staff were fast and efficient managing the volume. Ordered the Too Hot To Handle with Cheddar Scone...both were very flavourful. Too hot is quite spicy, perfect on a chilly morning.
Awesome coffee from local roaster, had the oat milk latte and Tofu protein bowl, both tasted amazing. The space is somewhat busy with school children. There was a small dinosaur pocket gallery, Totem Poles, and John Lennon's Rolls Royce in the main lobby - Lots to see.
Ordered a Cortado and a Chicken and Brie melt. Suffice to say the experience was underwhelming and I expect better from the gift shop/foyer of a museum.
The Cortado - Way too foamy. âBaristaâ obviously doesnât know what a Cortado is. The espresso was bitter, weak, lacked conviction.
The Chicken and Brie Melt - Too crunchy, bordering on stale. The chicken was mealy and cold, despite the attendant warming up the sandwich. The sandwich was cut asymmetrically making it difficult to eat. There was so much aoli in the sandwich that when I bit down on the crusty, asymmetrical bun, the aioli shot out, covering my jeans in oily sandwich excrement. I had to endure this look for the rest of my trip since I only brought one pair of jeans.
