So sweet cafe !!
Nice atmosphere and cozy place. :)

I can tell this place takes their coffee seriously. The nitro cold brew was amazing!!

vibes are great, not too busy in the middle of a weekday. Limited plugs, 1hr free wifi with Telus (not sure if they have their own unlimited wifi).

The matcha latte looks great but tastes horrible - as if you're drinking some type of tainted water that doesnt taste like milk or matcha. Not sure what happened with it.

Large space with lots of seating in the middle of Chinatown. I went there at 2 pm on a weekday and I was able to find a small table easily. I asked for decaf skim cappuccino but they didn't have skim milk so I settled for soy. The $5 cappuccino came in a small cup. It tasted strong but had a slight odd taste so not sure if it was due to the decaf beans, the soy milk or something else. The food selection was very limited when I was there (I saw mainly cookies) so I passed on that. Service was friendly and fast but not sure I will go there again just for the coffee.

Would return, would recommend.

1) For the snobs like me, they filter their water. Not sure what the other guy is saying, but this is at minimum 4-5 stars on that alone.
2) Perfectly steamed milk that was ready to immediately consume. No burning your lips or tongue, no too hot to hold. Just right.
3) Pricing is okay - par, not cheap, but not outrageous. $0.25c cup fee tips it into territory of never being a daily driver tho.

Decor is minimal with a lot of wide spaces and tables and chairs. Quite nice. For those saying the coffee is (bad)different - likely never been a regular at places that filter water. Tim hortons is nearby.
Too few nibble options for my liking but you're in Chinatown, grab a Bao!

A spacious coffee place near Main street on Pender. They offer standard coffee/espresso menus as well as have a list of coffees they serve as pour-overs (by the ordering counter).
Some pastries and coffee gears are sold as well. I believe they have no in-house roasting.
The robot theme is quite cute.

Spacious, clean cafe with high ceiling. Very comfortable for reading or chatting. Limited menu but loved their espresso (on the acidic side). Would definitely come back to try other drinks!

This is my first time to come here to have coffee. The ambience is very comfortable with contemporary design. It is not too crowded on a Saturday morning. The customer service is great! The barista is very polite and friendly.

I order their latte. If I am drinking it as I am typing the review here, it is so good!!!! Very smooth and delicious! And it is not too hot that is burning my tongue. The price is acceptable at $4.75.

I would love to come back and enjoy their coffee next time. They just don’t have a lot of food options. They do sell some croissants and muffins. That’s all.
