I was glad to see this little coffee shop down the street from my hotel. What a treat! It love the decor -- wore in contemporary. It has a casual laid back feel with its window aimed bar seating, lazy chairs and mood lighting.
On the radio is a lot of popular hits from all over the globe. That's nice. I am drawn to places that are global in nature. And such a mix of folks. But I am not sure if that's because it's conference season, or because Vancouver played Los Angeles tonight.
Anyway, they have a nice assortment of cookies, brownie bars, sandwiches, vitamin water, juices and all sorts of other things. Try their peppermint tea -- yum! And late hours, thank goodness.
I came back a second day -- in the morning. The latte is a little light, so if you like it strong ask for more ice or less milk. And their breakfast muffin was pretty tasty. Very nice comfortable space. I'm a fan! -

Wish there was Blenz in Toronto.
They make a great espresso.
This afternoon it was a triple due to the number of hours on the go today. Just got downtown Vancouver and hopped in for a quick battery recharge as it's a short walk from the hotel.
The space is calmer than Starbucks and the decor is very nice.
Lots of seating and the music is relaxing. -

This Blenz Coffee location became my daily stop for a morning medium roast buzz. I appreciated that the baristas left ample height in my cup for soymilk. I am snooty about my coffee in an uneducated way - the blend tasted quality and smooth.
The peanut butter bars are tasty, too - I savored one after an underwhelming game of pool. -

This location isn't winning any beauty contests but it is a nice laid back place to chill and wait for friends if your meeting people downtown or just need to hide from the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit.
It has the typical issue of many places with free wifi it is seemingly full of students but not so much that you can't usually find a seat. -

Enjoyed the White Tea. Atmosphere was slightly generic but served its purpose. Wifi was strong.

This used to be my local and favorite Blenz! Always friendly, despite the amount of strange people that walk in to use the restroom ;) Is a nice cozy place to sit with a creamy warm latte, and watch the characters walk by on Granville. Who needs to read the Metro when you can just look outside? The small latte is quite large, very creamy without being wishy washy (as my mum would say!). They have a large range of pastries, though I'll admit the rice krispies square was a little stale. I was saddened to see the front window smashed after the riots, but thankfully they had it fixed super quick. Recommended for a nice coffee, and good entertainment out the window ;)

We went here since the Starbucks near our hotel was closed. The coffee wasn't that bad, I don't know about the service, because someone else got the coffee for me. The coffee is not as strong as Starbucks, but it was still good. Free Wifi, but you have to ask for the code from the cashier/counter. Why don't they just open their wireless like Starbucks???

For it being an extremely busy night for street parties and celebrations alike I have to say these guys did pretty good by me. We had just been to the falafel place down the block and just needed soemthing warm and tasty to wash it down with while we took respit in a calm place we could sit for a moment and relax.
The line was pretty minimal maybe one or two people in front of us. We ordered and recieved our chai tea latte's quickly, and the girl (though obviously exhausted) was sweet and very quick to get our order. The chai itself was damn good for a large chain chai, actually one fo the better large chain chai's I've had. But SUPER freaking hot... like surface of the sun hot, like incinerate all your taste buds hot. We didn't really mind the heat though, it kept our hands warm and gave us something to focus on while we meandered our way through the crowds of olympian die hards and canadian fans alike.
The mens room was closed so they only had one restroom going which was a bit akward watching a boy come out as I entered and realizing teh moron just left the seat up... oh well I can't blame the poor drunken bastard. The bathroom was a mess, tp everywhere, dirty floors, empty water bottles in the sink and a hand dryer that I decided it would have been more efficient to just lightly blow on my hands to dry them. But I diddn't care, I needed to pee and this place had a bathroom thank goodness. -

Coffee was a little on the weak side. Was tasty though. Nice location and clean inside.
