    I've been getting coffee at Kahawa regularly for several months now, and I'm impressed with the consistency of their coffee. The beans are Intelligentsia, so the quality is excellent. It didn't take them long to learn my order and make me welcome as a regular.

    The baked goods are fresh and tasty. I haven't had the sandwiches but look good and they have a nice looking salad bar. Had a long conversation with the owner this morning, and he seems to really care about giving good service and good food.

    Because they cater to the 9-5 crowd, Kahawa isn't open on the weekend.

    I've always passed by this place without thinking too much.  Today I finally had a chance to try the food, and its' actually not bad at all.  It is in the basement of the Fortis (formerly Terasen) building.

    Parking is free after 1800 across the street, but this won't apply to you if you're working regular hours.

    The cafe has a coffee section as well as a hot soup/sandwich section, and a fridge full of cold drinks and deli-type items.  Seating isn't too bad, but the tables are freaking tiny.  I didn't have enough room to put my newspaper down.

    Today I had their mushroom soup.  It looked homemade but tasted just like the Campbell's variety, but with much larger chunks of (real) mushrooms.

    Their Capicola ham sandwich was a bit thin (in terms of fillings).  It was literally ham, mayonnaise, and bread.  With the occaional dried red thing (was it tomato or pepper?)  Pretty tasty though.

    My only complaint with the food is that it is waaay too salty.  This goes for both the soup and the sandwich.  High blood pressure is bad.

    The owner/manager of this place is such a nice guy.  I use to order catering from him frequently, at times with quite little notice - and not once did he give me trouble!  He's very reliable and friendly.
    It's never too busy in here, and they have next to everything in the way of food.
