Stopped by for an iced latte with oat milk. I enjoyed the espresso taste, not too acidic, not too strong. They have food and baked goods on the menu too. The service was quick and kind. Great ambiance with relaxing music. On a Thursday morning nearly all the seats had patrons, so it's clearly a neighbourhood favourite. The entrance has a ramp for accessibility which is great to see, but to get to the register and order you have to climb up a small flight of stairs. There's a patio outside that also was almost completely full, and a downstairs that was also pretty packed. Overall great place. I'd definitely come back.

Iced latte ($4.25+tax)

More of a 3.5 Can't say much about their snacks or food but the espresso drinks here are really good and the place is cute and in a nice area. The staff are not that friendly and there weren't many covid precautions (ran out of hand sanitizer, cream/sugar/lid counter was still open for anyone to touch and use, no physical distancing signs). The prices are fair for the most part (for example, $4.25+tax for a regular latte).

I was a big fan of the old cafe that occupied the same spot and looked forward to the visits there. This place while not as good as the old spot still gets the job done. Teas are by Sloane (pricey but decent for non blended versions). As for the my poison of choice the cappuccino here goes Latte art: Average Crema' OK Coffee bean reminds me of the old version which is fine. The setup is virtually the same so can't complain there. Overall 3 stars.

Freakin quaint, cozy, double story, with the cutest patio surrounded by old grown trees..gorgeous local art featured all around...I ordered their mean matcha gluten free cookie, and almond milk latte...probably the best matcha almond vegan cookie which was moist as Fuk as I chewed and swallowed it I have had in a very very long time....nothing like the feeling of finding that perfect cozy spot, to watch the rain fall as, I sip my warm, soothing, calming, extra hot almond milk latte!

Toast with butter and jam

We went in for a late breakfast week ago. We are new to the neighborhood so this was our first visit. There were a few people behind the counter for taking orders and preparing them. We ordered 3 coffees, toast with jam and avocado toast. The coffees were reasonable. The food was brought to the table after 18 minutes. Both sets of toast were completely burnt. The avocado was listed as inclusive of sea salt, pepper and lemon. What was delivered was smashed avocado with "nothing" on it. Wait for another 18 minutes? No way. Ate what we could. Added some salt to the avocado (and it was a big deal to get sea salt instead of regular salt from the server). They have a sign that mentions an email address for feedback. Probably a scam - you can write to it but there is no response. There are many better coffee shops in the neighborhood, this one does not make the cut.

Regardless of some of the reviews, I liked the place. Friendly staff, multi layer coffee shop. Flat white was good, muffin was not fully baked (not good).

Nice atmosphere - downstairs

NEO COFFEE BAR BAY X COLLEGE - Basque Cheesecake

Discovery District, Downtown Core

Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family

Nabulu Coffee - Almond Croissant

Downtown Core

Been to Nabulu Coffee a few times now, and it's easily one of my go-to spots for the vibe…read more Cozy, great lighting, and a really nice casual, communal feel, it's the kind of place that works for everything, getting work done, catching up with friends, or just relaxing on your own. Seating is solid, but noise can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. Coffee is good but a bit inconsistent. I usually go for cortados, and while I've had some really good ones here, other times the milk-to-espresso ratio feels off. The flat white, on the other hand, was excellent. Still need to try the pour-over. Service is always good too! Food is solid. Chocolate chip banana muffin was great, turkey sandwich was okay. Overall: Come for the space and vibe, and try a few drinks before locking in your go-to.

My latte was made to absolute perfection,the baristas here are clearly expertly trained, and it…read moreshows in every sip. Combine that with genuinely great customer service, and you have a winner. I also snagged a small cookie, which was perfectly fresh and tasty. They don't miss a beat on any of the small details! The atmosphere is fantastic; it's vibrant, cozy, and just a great place to be. The only thing you need to know is that this café is popular for a reason. It's often busy, so you might not always find a table to sit and work at. But honestly, the quality of the coffee and the great vibe make the occasional standing-room-only situation completely worth it. Just grab your perfect drink and enjoy!
