Not totally comfortable for long period but good for an hour or so. And you do want a quick turnover so more customers can dine in. I've been here a couple of times and it gets busier after 11 am. Quiet in the morning with most people having coffee to go. Service is great. They will bring your food and coffee to you when dining in which is unexpected. The flat white is ok, could do with more microfoam but it's good enough. The pastries are really nice. Get the croissant warm up for a better bite.

I found this one as I was walking along browsing the shops that line the street. I just ordered the light roast coffee brew. I didn't like it too much. I found there is a lingering acidic taste I didnt like. Must be the type of bean. But its still worth trying the other drinks. They also serve cookies and dates which is really reasonably priced, surprisingly around $2-3. Other coffee shops charges an arm n a leg for these things. Its always good to support small, independent businesses. The lady who took my order was courteous, the place is clean, the seats are comfortable. Will be back to try other things. There's plenty of street parking.

The place is good, with nice and clean inside with lot of space over looking a busy road, perfect to sit back and let the world be busy while you sip your nice hot coffee and a bite of muffin(its friday ) 10 bucks for a coffee and muffin, and the coffee is just lukewarm, it wasnt hot, perhaps cz me, a non english speaker in an Indian accent told another non english speaker barista to give it to me in a cup and he served me in a paper cup and then he had to transfer it back to a ceramic one. But then we are human and its ok. He was polite, friendly and nice, no minus marking here. But the muffin, it should not be crumbling, as if it wanted to be a cookie, and someone forced it to be a muffin. Again the nice friendly barista offered another one and warmed it up, but he took it from a box that read "frozen". Oh there it is, its not human this time, its the system. You dint sell frozen bakery stuff in a cafe where one comes to have a fresh out of oven goodness. Too big review for a 10 dollar bill, well, I told tou before its friday!!

Ordered…read morean oat milk latte, my usual coffee drink, and I was able to choose from 2 options of espresso beans they were brewing for the day. Also got a blueberry scone which was very buttery and delicious! I also love that they give you your drink order in real mugs/cups if you're dining in. The ambiance was your typical coffee shop -- quiet with soft lofi music playing in the background. There were high and low tables, some with comfy/soft chairs, while others had the bar style chairs. The tables each had the wifi password so for those staying a while and needing internet while working, you don't have to ask the baristas for the wifi password. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is I wish they would've provided more baked goods or food options. They had one sandwich option when I came in before 11am, a bagel option, and just a handful of different pastries. The shelves looked half empty so I'm assuming there's normally more options? Still good to try if you're wanting good coffee in the area.

As others mentioned, the owner can be a little eccentric, but behind the rough exterior, you can tell he's just a passionate coffee lover. He said he roasts his beans every morning and swears it's the best coffee ever. He said "every cup of coffee you drank before this is crap. Just taste." You know what? At least for Vancouver, it's the best latte I've had during my last six trips here, visiting from the States. It's smooth, dark, robust, aromatic, and very comforting. I'll definitely buy a few bags of beans on my next trip. Richmond/Vancouver coffee, for the most part, has been leaning towards fruitier and sour notes from what I've tried (Nemesis, R Ki, Moving Coffee, Grounds Coffee), but this is more my cup of... coffee. 5/5 no notes. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places. Maybe it really was that good. Will be back. Fantastic latte, my friend.
