Vanilla Latte
Terri B.

Looking for an afternoon coffee, we decided to try Arabica in the Whistler Village. At first glance we didn't think it was open, but saw someone walking out with a coffee, so in we went. The place is very unique, the interior is built to look like the inside of an igloo, and it is all white and very minimalistic. Not someplace I would go for a coffee and to work for a bit, but a great place to grab a coffee. The staff were nice and helpful, it was rather busy when we were there. The latte was small, but very flavorful and creamy. The coffee was smooth and not bitter. We enjoyed it. Just know because it is Whistler and in the village the prices are a bit high, but coffee seems expensive pretty much anywhere.

We walked in, looked at the menu, selected our drinks and went to order at the cashier. Our drinks came out so quickly. I ordered the Spanish latte because I prefer my drinks a bit sweeter. My friend ordered a matcha latte. Both were pretty good. Can't wait to go back and try some other flavors. The interiors were all white. There was a round bench and tables to accommodate indoor seating.

Kyoto Latte - my fav, smooth coffee, perfect sweetness went twice and no line both times very cool concept, feels like a snow globe in the mountains, all we needed was just snow outside! great place a for a cup of coffee

Oatmilk cappuccino

I am so snobby with my decade oatmilk cappuccinos and they DELIVERED. Perfect frothing. 10/10

Very odd experience for me. Tried the Affogato & found it to be blasé. Service was good, the atmosphere like being in the desert somewhere, it's just my order didn't hit me in all the right spots. I'm willing to go back & try their Spanish Latte or other, so we shall see. Very pricey coffee! Located below Earl's restaurant in the Village.

Tasty drinks. I had the matcha latte and my friend had the dark latte. Both were delicious and refreshing. The shop was clean and service was quick on transaction and making drinks.

Delicious oat latte.

The staff was very friendly. The decor was beautiful. The latte was delicious.. we wish you had a location in Seattle, Wa.

Very easy to find within the Whistler Village. It has an interesting dome shape design inside the shop with some curvy benches to sit on. Service was quick on a Christmas Eve morning. I just wish that the latte art could be better. 1. Hot matcha latte 12oz (4/5) 2. Hot Kyoto latte 12oz (5/5, must try) 3. Hot cafe latte with oat milk 12oz (4/5)

This Japanese Coffee shop is a MUST! I am still thinking about the matcha latte and coffee latte I had while in Whistler. They don't skimp on the matcha and is nice and creamy but rich at the same time. The coffee was not bitter but just right!

This was my first experience with % Arabica and it was a very good one! I thought the white igloo-like interior was cool. Maybe we came at an off-time, but it wasn't too crowded inside and it was relatively easy to walk around and find a place to sit and enjoy our drinks. The seating is good for a quick drink break but it's not a place where you'd stay and hang out for an extended period of time. There was a lineup through the space, but it moved pretty quickly and our two iced matcha lattes were ready in a blink of an eye after we ordered. The barista that took our order was very polite. I was happy that they were willing to make my drink in the cup I brought since they only use to-go cups. The 12oz matcha latte was $6.95, which I think is a typical price for a decent matcha latte, plus an extra $1 for oat milk (the only dairy alternative available). It was good! The drink was a deep green and strong with the characteristic umaminess but not bitter. It seemed like it was very subtly sweetened. I'm glad I checked it out!

Where all my coffee dreams come true... After having Arabica in NYC, I was hooked. Came back to Vancouver and realized the one there closed I was sad. Then I looked up and Whistler has a location. Yay, worth the two hour drive lol. I tried the Kyoto Latte it was fantastic. I loved the dark latte, Kyoto has a little sweetness. It's so smooth. The location is in the middle of the village. It was pretty busy but coffee and matcha ice came fast. Matcha ice cream was also really good, matcha flavor was very pronounced.

What happened to %Arabica Whistler opening on May 11th? Visited Whistler on Monday, May 13th, and noticed that not only was the store closed, but it was still under construction! Did anyone else see the influencer day trip videos on TikTok and Instagram last week (~May 8th-10th) showing the completed beautiful store? But now, most of those videos have been quietly removed, and there's been no update on what happened or when they will reopen. Google still shows that the business is open...5 out of the 7 Google reviews mention that they visited between May 11-May 15th and it was closed and under construction. I was looking forward to try their famous coffee and enjoying their famous ambiance but with no updates nor official announcements from the store it's a bit disappointing. It would have been better if they announced the delay instead of taking all the influencer posts down along with their own posts and pretending as if the soft-opening/announcements never happened. If they had made an announcement then everyone would definitely be understanding and they wouldn't have left a bad first impression.

Kyoto Latte

The coffee tasted great. A bit pricey though. They gave me the smaller size at first and when I went to ask if the wrong size was given to me the barista seemed to think I was lying. She had to find the record to prove I've indeed ordered a larger size. The first cup was made beautifully, the second cup not so much. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the second one but I think she wasn't happy I made her make another coffee even though they gave me the wrong size.

Provisions in Whistler is my favorite cafe and never miss visiting here. This time, I visited…read moretwice, 1st day afternoon and 2nd day morning. What we tried: Peach Apricot Cruffin Almond Croissant white cheddar scone Chai latte Matcha latte. Everything tasted great. Peach Apricot Cruffin's layer of dough was better than last time. Very crispy and buttery. Peach apricot Filling and cream topping were paired so well and addictive. Almond Croissant was one of the best I have ever had. Patry was dense and very crispy, Almond paste filling was just right amount and sweetness.Excellent item. Scone was also very crispy on outside and so buttery and flavorful inside. Very delicious. Matcha latte had also creamy texture and right size of sweetness with strong Matcha flavor. Chai latte was even better than Matcha latte. Chai flavor was very strong and texture was super creamy. Ambience was very nice. I will visit again next time I visit Whistler!

The space is quite large, with plenty of tables as well as bar-style seating along the windows, which is especially nice if you want to sit and watch the surroundings. The service was okay. There seemed to be quite a few employees working, and everyone looked very busy and rushed even though there were only a few customers at the time, which felt a little unusual. The coffee, however, tasted fresh and was very good. I also enjoyed the hot chocolate because it wasn't overly sweet, which I personally prefer. The cakes and pastries were just average and didn't stand out as much as the drinks. Overall, it's a comfortable and conveniently located café, especially for a coffee stop while exploring the nearby villages.

I was excited to try this place as a few blogs said that Hot Buns cinnamon rolls were really good…read more It's a very small cute little bakery with different sweet and savory selections, like croissants, crepes and long John's. I guess my expectations were a little too high and my eyes ordered more than I should have. Ordered 2 cinnamon rolls and a long John. I was quite disappointed in both. The cinnamon rolls were quite dry and not enough ooey gooey cinnamon, butter and sugar filling. The frosting doesn't quite melt either. It was only when you got to the center was when the cinnamon rolls were soft with filling. The other parts are just dry and flavorless. The long John was also underwhelming. They used the same frosting as the cinnamon rolls inside the long John. I guess I'm used to more of a custard filling. Sadly, I'm still in search of a great cinnamon roll in Whistler.

this place really irritates me. We were in here in the last two days in the morning and we…read morespecifically asked the owner what time they close and she said 7 PM so we went back at 6 PM last night and they were closed. We thought it was a fluke because of a recent Pemberton Fire with a lot of employees living there, etc. Then we went back tonight at 6 PM again for dessert and they were closed again. Two employees are in there, but the lights are off and they won't answer the door. There's a big sign that says they're open till 7 PM every day. It's the owner's choice what time she chooses to stay open till, but your signage needs to reflect your actual hours consistently. Also, your Yelp hours need to be accurate too. People drive all the way over here and pay for parking and then you're closed. It's extremely disappointing and I've been supporting your business since around 2007.
