A nice little corner place. Enough seats with cozy chairs. It's quiet with students studying but enough tables are available. There are seats outside too. You can smell the aroma of fresh pastries! They have a lot of choices! They also have hot and cold drinks! Coffee is not bad! Plenty of parking on the side streets! It's certainly a place I'd go back to!
Was in the area getting some work done on my vehicle so looking for a coffee spot, I stubbled upon this little gem. It's real cozy with a few seats outside. There was only one employee working that was doing everything, so it took a bit to get my order but understandably so so I'm not upset. The snacks they have were tasty and complemented my beverage well. The staff was pleasant and competent. I recommend stopping by if you're not in a rush, if you want to support a local smaller business it's worth checking out. I only got a coffee and a snack and the price was reasonable.
The Hubs and I were around the area and decided to try the well-received place. The place is at the corner of Royal Oak and Grimmer. Metered parking is available on Grimmer. The location has 4-5 patio sets outside and 3 small tables inside with 3 workers working in the open kitchen. Ambience: minimal decor, there are sporadic electric outlets, soft jazz piano music playing in the background, it's a live kitchen so lots of prepping background sounds. Menu: standard offerings for beverages, baked goods are freshly baked over the course of the day. We ordered a freshly baked leek & parmesan turnover ($4.35) and a 16oz cappuccino ($5.2). The order is ready in less than 5 minutes. Unfortunately, disposable cups and containers are still used even for dine-in. Most patrons came in to order to go rather than dine-in. 16oz cappuccino ($5.2): (4.2/5) good size (12oz sets you back $4.4), espresso flavour is not overwhelmed by the milk which means ratio of milk is well-balanced. Beans used are dark and caramel flavored. Leek & parmesan turnover ($4.35): (4.7/5) crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. The leeks flavours are there but the parmesan seems masked over by the creamy sauce. The fluffy pastry portion is light and delightful to enjoy - perhaps this is accentuated by the fact that it just came out of the oven. Overall: Great little spot for coffee and some fresh pastries. We will definitely come back.
Cute place to come and grab coffee and some baked treats in the Royal Oak area. I did wish there was more seating inside but the food and drinks itself were pretty good! Would recommend for meeting up with friends when in the area.
Cute cafe stop on a Saturday morning. Easy walk up ordering with outdoor seating. London fog was good quality. Drip coffee wasn't anything special but good. The croissants were warmed to order. Leak and Parmesan top design gave a wonderful texture & filling was tasty. The chocolate was a bit too sweet but also had a great texture. Biggest downside - The food was served on styrofoam and plastic utensils were available.
We do love a good cafe! I was in the area and was in the mood for some coffee and pastries. I decided to hit up this cafe and did not regret it! The iced latte was just right, and the croissants were flakey and delicious. AND there was enough chocolate in the chocolate croissant !! I got it to-go and warmed it up and home - and it was still just as good! The service was also great. The people that was working there was super nice and helpful!
I stopped by just to grab a cup of coffee so dont know all about it. But its pretty decent cafe with small seating capacity. Two tables on the outside as well. Interesting was the banana bread in banana shape. They do bake all bread fresh in the cafe with their high tech bakery machine. Nice collection of drinks
Dropped by here with my mom on a Saturday afternoon. The interior is small so it's hard to find seating here. There's also no parking outside besides the meter parking. The matcha latte is decent - I prefer it a bit stronger but overall no complaints. The croffle is SO good. Crispy bits but also soft. Would come here more often for their croffle, but I felt like the price was a bit much for the portion. It would be a good size for one person. I just felt the price was a bit steep considering it's not a particularly big size and the sliced bananas were very thin - definitely wasn't a full banana. Overall, would come here again but not on the regular.
Don't be fooled by the simple interior - it's an awesome coffee shop! My new favourite in Vancouver. Try the black sugar latte half sweet if you like lattes/add cream and sugar to your coffee. The only place I've seen that does it and they do it well. Small space inside for doing some work or catching up with a friend, and they have a few patio tables as well. Their matcha bread is addictive. So moist and cakey with perfect balance of matcha flavour. Not too sweet. The perfect on the go breaky! They have great combos - panini + coffee for $9 something. We did not try but have returned multiple times.
Small but lovely coffee shop on the corner of Royal Oak and Grimmer -- across Vancity. Looks a bit non-descript outside but interiors are nice. My husband occasionally grabs coffee here but it was my first visit after running some errands at Vancity. I love supporting locally owned shops and this one is no exception. The baristas are nice and place is cozy and clean. Plus coffee is delicious too! Enjoyed my cup of latte with almond milk -- the milk was steamed just right. I found that some coffee shops tend to over steam almond milk but Cafe 106 did it just right. Their pastries are freshly baked daily and they look yummy. Check this place out if you're in the area.
Pretty good coffee. Tasted like other korean coffee not that special but it was definitely good. Space is small and limited to 2 hours so definitely isn't an ideal place to work on your things here. Cheers!
First time to come here for a latte before I met up with friends. The exterior of this coffee shop does not look outstanding but I reviewed this place on Yelp before visiting. The rating was quite high, so my husband and I gave it a try. We ordered a large maple and almond latte. It is new on the menu. There was only 1 barista. It was good that there was only us and another customer; otherwise we might have to wait for a long time for the beverages. The maple and almond latte did not have a flavour of coffee at all. But it tasted good. It had a strong milk and almond milk flavour. It was not too sweet, which was great! We looked at the pastries at the front. They were not super attractive, so we didn't try any. The barista was very quite. He didn't really smile or we didn't feel friendliness from his face. He just served us and the other customer. The interior was okay.... kind of contemporary. Comparing to other coffee shops in the same neighbourhood or ones in Vancouver, the interior could have been improved a lot. First time to come here for a latte before I met up with friends. We were happened to be in this neighbourhood, so we tried this cafe; otherwise we might not come here. It might be good for the people who live in this neighbourhood (I guess).
Cafe 106 is located on Royal Oak Ave and Grimmer Street in Burnaby. It's small and clean neighbourhood cafe. Great coffee and friendly service. Chocolate cake - it's good and not too sweet. Strawberry smoothies - it's fresh and cool. Chamomile tea - Just ok and they did refill for us. Good to stop by when u nearby this area

OVERALL: Great experience! Their food and coffee is amazing, their space is quaint but cozy, so cute! We only got to-go so we didn't get to relish in the space, but would come back again if I could! FOOD + DRINKS: Super yum! I got the 106 Latte and I liked it! It only comes cold, so just an fyi! Typically comes with 3 pumps of sweetener but I asked for 2 since I like my drinks less sweet. I also got less ice since I didn't want it to be too cold! I loved the drink though, it was perfect! The coffee was strong enough and the flavor wasn't overpowering, and especially, wasn't too sweet, just how I like it! We also got a hot lavender latte which, surprisingly, wasn't too sweet as well! Perfect intensity of caffeine with flavor! HONORABLE MENTION: CHICKEN PESTO SANDWICH!!!! I never get food from cafes multiple reasons: too pricey, never know how long they have been there for, have there been flies in the refrigerator, etc. There is just so many unknowns with the quality of the food. But the kind lady at the register, when I asked about the sandwiches, she was so excited about it! Hahaha! I thought it was so amusing that she herself was so in love with these sandwiches, she gets them all the time is what she told me. I was feeling hungry and we had a long ride ahead of us so I got the chicken pesto sandwich! Individually wrapped in the refrigerator, only two of each kind, it looked sanitary and reasonable, and so was the price! It was toasted and cut in half for us. When we ate it, it was SO YUM! I usually each my sandwiches with hot sauce, which I forgot to inquire about, but it was so yummy I didn't even miss it! So awesome!!!! AMBIANCE: Small, cute, quaint! There are a few seats available, bar seating at the window I could see myself sit there and do work at, a few tables for seating that you could find yourself catching up with someone at! It's a small area, but if youre looking for something warm and cozy, this is your spot :) read more
This café itself is warm and inviting, with a cozy ambiance that makes it a pleasant place to relax or catch up on work. Service has consistently been polite and friendly. The black sugar latte is absolutely outstanding - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I'm addicted to it to say the least. I also had the chance to try their sandwiches, which were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality coffee spot in the area. And don't forget to get their stamp card! read more
The staff was friendly and helpful, and answered my query clearly. The cafe is pretty small with around 10 seats. I sat outside under one of their yellow umbrellas right next to the road. The road wasn't too busy luckily so it was okay to sit there. The panini was flavorful and the latte was pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with my meal there! read more

Cafe 106 is a smallish cafe on the corner of Royal Oak and Grimmer in Burnaby. When I first came across the name, I briefly wondered if there were 105 other similar cafes somewhere around town but quickly realized that "106" is their unit number. Although the interior is a bit small, it's bright and airy from the light streaming through the windows and they have some toe-tapping light jazz playing in the background. I wound up ordering a creamy 12oz London Fog ($4.45) and a Grilled Tuna Melt ($7.55). The tuna melt was on point with a cheesy tuna filling with red peppers and corn on a crisp ciabatta bun. I dropped by for another visit in April and was surprised at how busy it was (as it was fairly quiet during my first drop-in). This time around, I ordered the Basil Pesto Turkey ($7.55) along with a 12oz Hot Chocolate ($4.15) and a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread ($2.80). I was a bit disappointed that my hot chocolate came in a paper cup instead of a mug but I was pleasantly pleased with the banana bread (love the way they made it into a banana shape). There were thin banana slices that were caramelized on the outside which had a nice light crunch to the exterior while the inside was soft and moist. It actually worked well dipping into my hot chocolate. While there was nothing wrong with the turkey melt, I personally think the tuna melt was better. The sandwich had a couple of layers of turkey breast slices, tomato, and cheese on the basil pesto draped grilled ciabatta bun. Undeterred, I returned for another visit and ordered the Basil Pesto Chicken ($7.55) which is essentially the same as the turkey version but with chicken instead and then paired it with a 12oz London Fog ($4.45) and a chocolate chip cookie for dunking. Overall, it's a nice little cafe shop for a quick bite. read more

Came here on a whim after driving by. It's a nice little cafe to get work done. Ordered a Matcha waffle and a black sugar iced latte. The coffee was amazing and would definitely come back for their drinks. The waffle was a little underwhelming. The waffle came from the fridge and was not made fresh but reheated. The middle was a little soggy and had crunchy sugary bits inside, if it was made fresh I believe it would be much better. The matcha for the pancake came in a small shot glass and you pour it over the ice cream and waffle. Don't pour the whole glass in, if you were to pour the whole glass it your waffle would be swimming and extremely soggy. There is no parking on the lot of their building. You will need to pay for street parking. read more

Nice place to sit down and get a little work done. The coffee is fantastic and if you're hungry there's always a variety of fresh baked goods to choose from. More recently, a few hot panini sandwiches have been added to the board. The one I tried today (ham and cheese) was perfectly grilled, oozing with cheese and served with a salad. The owner/barista is also very nice. read more

New ownership has really transformed this place with their delicious menu and service. I have been coming here quite often since ownership has changed for a quick breakfast and chai latte and also pick up extra coffees from time to time for my team at the office. read more

I came back for a quick lunch, they serve homemade soup now, I had the cauliflower chowder, very healthy but very tasty and a chicken sandwich which they always do a great job on. By the way I finished with an apple turnover and a hot piping Amercano. read more

Coffee was good. It was quiet and clean inside. Nice and cozy. I liked their panini and coffee was not sour at all. They have only one parking stall but there's so many street parking. Waffle was good too. Will go back there again read more
