Great places to get some work done, either because they have free wifi, or are just awesome in some other way.

They put the white tipped darjeeling back on the in-house menu but now charge $4.50 for it instead of $3.50. On the plus side, at least it's available again! To put it in perspective though, iced tea at David's Tea (4th and Yew) is $2.50. The cost is…More »

An updated review for an updated Terra Breads! They FINALLY reopened today... Almost two months behind their actual proposed opening (which was May 8 I believe). I was devastated! Cobs isn't very good and Granville Island is too far! I was blowing up…More »

I kind of don't want to review this place because  then it won't be a secret anymore and it'll be so packed I won't be able to come here anymore! Even just sitting here it's been filling up quite fast. That's ok, I'm taking the risk! I feel that…More »

I still love it here. More often than not I get a good cup of coffee. My favourite is the caramel mocchiato.

Their baked goods are fairly mediocre though they are better than the baked goods at other coffee shops (but that's not saying much). This is…More »

My first impression was that it has a nice atmosphere. Lots of art on the walls, the tables are real wood... The machinery/setup is all fancy, especially those fancy Haro machines (the contraption that looks like it belongs in a science lab). Looks…More »

If you have a food allergy, don't count on proper service here as the bright little Spanish/Philipino lady didn't seem to know that there were pine nuts in pesto and said something dangerously ignorant like "if it doesn't say so on the sign then it's…More »

I was starving and stopped in for a sandwich. $7.30 after tax for a sandwich seems a bit steep but they bake their own bread and grill the sandwiches. I got a chicken sandwich with chipotle on it. Very delicious.

They make their chai in-house. It…More »

Went back to study. Coffee still didn't impress me, though the art is very cute. I don't get it, places that serve their beans seem to do a better job at preparing them. The service is friendly enough. They have loose leaf tea which seems to be…More »

I really like this place. The people are usually quite friendly. The London fog is good (especially when this one chick makes it whose name starts with an E, I forget). They have free Wifi. They have a coffee/tea/latte/etc. card so if you buy a…More »

Sometimes when I go the latte I get is really good and sometimes it's bad with a sad attempt at coffee art. Don't get me wrong, I can't do the coffee art thing but I don't work as a barista. Anyhow, it's not just the art it's the actual flavour…More »

Food is pretty mediocre. I'd never recommend going to this place unless you were studying and need free wifi and not so expensive food, but though it's inexpensive it still isn't good value for what it is. The service is not very friendly but they…More »

Recently updated lists from Tina H.

My "Go Back to this Restaurant" List (13)

A list of food and drink spots I definitely have to remind myself to revisit! Doesn't include all the awesome coffee shops, which are in another list.

Classy Caffeine Fix (Vancouver) (12)

If you like a good cuppa joe or tea but you're way too classy for Tim Horton's or Starbucks, check out these fine places.

Get-down-to-business (Toronto) (16)

Great spots to caffeinate and code.

My Favourite Food & Drink Spots (Vancouver) (13)

The Vancouver faves.

Flavourful Student Budget Eats (8)

Students, you know what I'm talking about. There's a limit to the amount of ramen and KD that a person can consume. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you need to sacrifice flavour. Here's my list of affordable eats that don't sacrifice quality.
