I liked the pie shaped venue, and I loved their tasty vegan wrap. The service was quick and friendly. The price was reasonable and I like those big bright windows.

Quiet expensive corner and the inside needs a retouch. Ceiling is falling apart. I ask for drip coffee and girl told me NO more coffee at 4pm.... Weird because expensive coffees were available. I got a cortado which it taste ok.

NO CASH. How elitist and discriminatory! I refuse to give my business to a place that doesn’t accept cash, even if it were my only option. Thankfully the area is brimming with lots of great cafés though, you’ll miss nothing by giving this place a pass.

Pretty Good coffee, Quite standard for a cafe latte, I do like the atmosphere of the windows a lot, nice place to sit and enjoy your latte. (pictures taken after lattes were mixed)

An Indigenous woman came in to Gene desperate to use the washroom. The community center was unexpectedly closed, and she could not wait. She offered to buy a coffee after using the washroom, but was turned away. In her desperation, she had to urinate on the street in full view of everyone. I wrote expressing my concern that this happened. This was the owner's response:---Thank you for emailing me. I am sorry to hear about the specific situation

Fast and friendly service! Good coffee! However, when I went in today, there was a weird smell, :( Fortunately, I just got to-go!!! Personally, I like Our Town Cafe better!!!

Lacking the generous spirits of Canadian. Should chill out a bit more if you’re opening cafe here, in Canada. Take a look at the replies for each review, no apologies but excuse. Why don’t you give washroom access to customers before ordering when they claimed that they gonna order right after coming back? Why don’t you give a cup of water for free when the tap water is clean in Vancouver? Why you’re so mean? What’s wrong with you? Chill out a bit more also to the employees cause the owners demand too high standard for minimum wage. The staff needs to operate the cafe alone most of the times, which makes the customer service even worse, so that the owner can reduce labor cost. Again, this is CANADA.

This shop is a small and simple operation, which isn't what I'm usually drawn to, but they nailed it for me today. I came to try the Polish Pillow! It's a unique drink - the taste is not quite the same as coffee but very similar, and the raspberry and almond flavour is very nice, not too sweet. I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine so I'm glad this is caffeine free! I also had their vegan wrap and a cranberry pecan spice cookie for my lunch while I was here, both of which were very satisfying. The typical coffee shop jumbo cookie is bigger than I usually want so I like that they sell small cookies designed to accompany a drink here (there are bigger ones too).The staff was polite, and everything I ordered was presented very neatly which was a nice touch. It's not the trendiest coffee shop, but I found the unpretentious vibe to be very approachable and refreshing.

I enjoy the coffee and the cookies, however, the service is off putting more times than not. One of the servers (with glasses) is unpleasant and cold, even when a subtle joke or pleasantry is offered. Maybe the nuance of good, in-person customer service has been lost after a few years of isolation (?). It may be wise for the management group to continually invest in CS training and put some checks and balances in place for staff. A net promoter survey or something similar may reveal tangible trends that can be acted upon.I hope things improve soon as location alone will not ensure this cafe’s survival, particularly at this price point.

It’s such a great location but I’m always disappointed by the coffee quality. They only have two sizes: large and larger. If you like coffee flavoured milk it’s great.
