    Should've opened the lid...the froth was bad and there wasn't any latte art.
    Peter K.

    Found this place walking on the way to a Canucks game. Atmosphere is really nice. Really comfortable and relaxing. Only issue I had was the latte. Not sure why the milk wasn't frothed right. I was pretty disappointed, and thought there would be some nice latte art too. The place looked like it would have great coffee...but I was disappointed. The reason I gave them an extra star because the atmosphere and interior is comfortable.

    One of several coffee options around Main Street. Parking is available along Main at night, as well as the side streets. The interior is quite plain, but the furniture is of decent quality. There are some armchairs as well as the usual tables and chairs. Staff are quite quick, and friendly. My coffee was of decent quality. No complaints there.

    Internet Nazis! If you are going to chat with friends, read a book, study or do anything without the need of the internet it's not a bad place. But ever since they implemented their $4 minimum purchase before you can get the internet password the baristas have become way less friendly and open to customers. It used to be a common sight to see people chatting it up with the baristas, but now because of the internet lock-down they tend to get in more arguments with people over the stupid policy than friendly conversations. I went again today to see if their policy had changed... but sure enough when you get to the till next to the cashier there's a little sign saying "$4 Minimum for Internet". At first I thought the policy had changed since I hadn't been there for about 8 months (because of the $4 min fee) and didn't notice it until I was punching in my debit card pin for my $3 purchase... I asked the barista if they were serious about that policy and she looked rather sheepish and didn't respond. I'm no business wiz but based on the habits of a local coffee drinker around around Main St (me), then if I go out for coffee say on average 4 times per week over 8 months and if I were to frequent the same coffee shop because I like the baristas, coffee, comfortable chairs or the atmosphere that adds up to decent amount of business even if I only buy a $2 coffee each visit. Let's break it down shall we? 8 months x 4 weeks (avg. per month) = 32 weeks 32 weeks x 4 visits per week = 128 visits 128 visits x $2 = $256 So Bean Around the World... from this you can see that even from ONE customer over 8 months you have already lost $256 due to your poor customer service. Multiply that by the number of customers that have decided to go to Waves + Kafka's on the same block instead of to your cafe because of this new policy and atmosphere and it becomes much more substantial. If you don't keep your customers happy and create a good environment in your establishment then both your staff and the customers lose because it's no fun to be there!! If you insist on keeping the $4 minimum to keep students out and to make it a more high-brow cafe then at the very least put a sign on the window being clear about your restrictions, ie. "$4 Minimum for Internet Use" rather than surprising people once they are about to pay.

    interior ^^ plenty of space

    I really enjoyed the British Fog! With soy, it is so delicious :) The Blueberry Apple Pecan muffin is SO good, I would get it any time. Berry Bran is okay too, it is more grainy and healthy-tasting. You can get wi-fi access 3 hours at a time with a purchase, which I think is just fine.

    Finally going to right my first review where too begin ?? Ive been going there for the passed 9 months or so i enjoy going there still til this day . yes the first few times i went i was pushed to spend 4$ , to use the WiFi but then once they saw me there on a regular basis they stopped enforcing it upon me. Batista's most very friendly and chatty as well as the 2 owners Shoba & Bobby Food well some of it is pricey but well i do understand it's not made in house so someone has to pay for the packaging and driver to deliver it. and to be honest there has not been one thing i bought that i didn't enjoy eating. BTW as of April 20th 2012 there is no longer a 4$ min to use the WiFi

    Soy latte made with love

    I haven't tried the cushy seats by the fireplace yet (no view), but they sure look fabulous, and the decor feels classic and inviting.

Space is clean. I didnt stay or have any of their food though so cant really comment on more than that. Pricing is high but similar to other local coffee shops. If i was in the area I would come back for their special items. Overall solid 4 stars. A step above any of the big chains for sure. But it isnt good enough that I would go out of my way for it. If you're nearby though, worth a visit.

We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!
