Review from B L.

Love the location of this Blenz. Tuck right in the middle of steveston village area, it's one of those locations where you actually go out of your way to get to.
Though the whole area can get quite busy in the summer, during the colder months it does get quite peaceful.
And when compared to the waves and starbucks down the street, it def has the more calm atmosphere.
Love the Belgian hot chocolate at Blenz. Easily tops what both waves and starbucks has to offer.
Street parking free 2 hours. Pay parking across the street.

Review from Edward L.
Decided to give this place a try, to "mix it up" after hitting up the Starbucks a block away repeatedly.
Parking here isn't too bad on the street, but you'll be walking a block or two.
This place is pretty tiny. The lineup went all the way to the door.
Seating is okay, but the chairs at my table were a hideous shade of green. Not sure where they got these ones but the chairs at the adjacent tables were a much nicer silver weave. The seats were also quite uncomfortable, as the butt parts were completely flat. It was like sitting on plywood.
The coffee itself was decent. The honey looked really cloudy though. Not sure what was up with that.
Overall it's a decent place, but it has really crappy hours (ie closes early). Hence the 2 stars. -

Great place to meet for coffee on a weekend. The owner is generally always there and ensures quality.

One of the nicest, best crema, right temperature, most flavourful lattes I've had in a chain coffeeshop. The girl at the front didn't know an almond shot and amaretto shot were the same thing but she was pleasant and tried not to roll her eyes when I told her :)

Review from Larry L.
I'm reminded of just how much I like to come here. When I go to other coffee shops that are populaced with kids who just hang out.
Hanging out in coffee shops then is different now. I'm not sure what it is, but it's not my cup of tea and so I enjoy going here.
Waves down the street has too much action. Starbuck on the other side, ditto.Listed in: FAST AND FURIOUS FOOD, Steveston Village

* Training is SO important! *
Of the chain coffee houses, Blenz is my favourite. (Yes, it is a worldwide chain but it started in downtown Vancouver at least!)
Their hot chocolates are a superb winter treat made by melting real chocolate discs. Their "matchchillo" made with yogurt is a lovely summer blended drink to cool off as well. So they get my chain coffee business (on those times when I just need a chain coffee free wifi experience).
But this location really needs to train its staff MUCH better. The cashier was having troubles taking everyone's orders. I thought it must have been her first day, but then some other clues made it clear she's been there a while. Yikes! -

We are generally not a chain coffee friend, but we were kind of in a hurry. Which is funny because we got a Barista in training. (-s-l-o-w...) well, as one Buddhist author Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "Take Your Time." I like to imagine there is a reason I am waiting. Breathe in breathe out.....
We waited a while but the Espresso Macchiato was good. We have found customer service in here to be friendly, and it's all about the location here in the Steveston Village. I would not go out of my way to have coffee here, as there is a local Roaster just up the road, but if you're here this is a better choice than st*bx across the street. -

a nice change from the very familar starbucks menu. Plus, they melt real chocolate into your mochas, and they have some interesting rooibos and chai favors.
