    Great to work at during non peak hours, there's a rule to put away your laptop if all the tables are full and there are people waiting. The tables are clean, there's no murky smell at the cafe, and the drinks and bread are prepped well. The washroom is clean, and the staff are friendly. Would definitely come back for the vibes, love the music choice too.

    Best spot for coffee and matcha I've found in a while! Tried the mango matcha latte and jasmine latte (espresso + jasmine syrup) and both were so unique and delish! Perfect ratios for the drinks and paired perfectly with the chocolate shio bread!

    Cafe Algan is such a cute addition to Cambie! It's located on the ground floor of a newly built high rise so the entire area is very modern. There is some free street parking but plenty of paid underground visitor parking (just unfortunately is paid parking). We visited on a Sunday and they were way more busy than I expected. We also happened to arrive during a rush so all the seats were filled and the line went to the door. Luckily, it calmed down right after and we were able to get a table while waiting for our orders. Other reviews have mentioned that they could put in more tables but I think the empty space is really important for the overall aesthetics and makes the place feel much more peaceful than crowded. They have a very nice variety of drinks and baked goods. There were so many things I wanted to try. I ordered the matcha fog which was such a unique and well made drink. I also got a coffee bun and have no complaints :) Overall, I love all the decor and especially the bunny logo! Definitely will try to stop by again in the future.

    I love the aesthetic of this place, the pastries look delicious and parking was easy to find. I love the match and London fog mix but I'm not sure if it had enough wow factor for me to get it again. Might stick with my matcha or London fog next time. Both were delicious on its own. The matcha basque is good but I wish we snatched a chocolate crossant or other pastries before they sold. Will have to come back again! No laptop during peak hours. And no wifi.

    Not the most comfortable place to sit and chat for a long period of time, but I love the coffee and pastries here. They're absolutely delicious! And I love all the windows that provide ample natural lighting. I'm a particular fan of their iced orange Americano. It's so refreshing. I think it's only a seasonal drink though.

    What a cute little cafe in the South Vancouver area! I aboslutely loved the aesthetics of this cafe and not to mention that had just delicious drinks and baked goods. I loved the matcha fog and it wasn't too sweet. I also got the shio pan and with it being heated up, it was so fluffy and tasty. I cannot wait to be back to try more of their drinks and baked goods, and this time maybe sit in to soak up the cozy vibes.

    I discovered this place through Instagram and was drawn to the variety of baked goods and drinks they offer. The cafe had a very cozy ambiance. I ordered a Houjicha Latte and a Matcha Croissant to enjoy there, and took home a Biscoff Cookie and Shio Bread. The Houjicha Latte was absolutely delicious, with the perfect level of sweetness and a properly strong Houjicha flavor--I really enjoyed it. The Matcha Croissant was good, I did like the Matcha chocolate on top. The Shio Bread was delicious. The dough was soft and nicely chewy, and the salt flavor was just right. The Biscoff Cookie was on the sweeter side, but I really liked the texture of the cookie dough, and the Biscoff topping was a nice touch. I would love to revisit and try different baked goods and drinks.

    Bright, open space with a pretty good selection of baked goods considering they're in their soft opening phase. They even had a vegan croissant. They said they'll be adding more options later on. Prices are on par with other cafes. Items that I tried: Matcha strawberry latte- I got mine with oat milk (additional +0.75). The strawberry puree was sweet and mixed in with the matcha, created a balanced drink. I was happy I could taste the matcha. Egg tart- the crust was flaky and custard creamy. It was not very sweet at all. I actually think it could have been a touch sweeter. Butterscotch cookie- the cookies reminded me of levain cookies. Thick and more cakey (?) not sure if that's the word to describe it, but I liked it. It was sweet but it'd be perfect with coffee. Overall, the vibes of the cafe are great. If I'm in the area, I'd come by again for a drink and baked good.

    Visited with a few friends yesterday and had a wonderful experience. The cafe is very spacious, bright and had variety of seating. The cafe works where u order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. I got the iced matcha latte and my friends got the strawberry latte and strawberry matcha latte. The drinks were sooo good the matcha was perfect consistency and color, not too much milk and had a nice toasty taste. I definitely want to come back to try more drinks and pastries

    Very cute cafe that recently opened up! The inside is very trendy and cute like the ones you see in Korea/Japan. The only thing is that the seating situation sucks, they're very small tables and usually filled up even though they have a lot of space to add a couple more. If you're coming on a weekend, definitely expect to take it to go unless you're willing to wait for a seat awkwardly. We got the strawberry matcha latte and a matcha lemonade for drinks, which were both $6.50. The drinks were delicious but the size was really small (smaller than a tall at Starbucks). The desserts we got were a classic basque cheesecake and matcha croissant which were also pretty good. Basque Cheesecake was fluffy and moist in the middle and the croissant was flaky, chewy, and not too sweet. These were standouts to me! :) Lastly, we had a teriyaki chicken sandwich. I wanted to try a different flavour but this was the only one they had that day. It was not the best, they heated it up but the inside was still cold and honestly it was just not the vibe with the garlic cheese on top. I'd put this in last place. Overall, the drinks and dessert were good but a tad expensive. I wouldn't go for their savoury items but otherwise it's a cute date or study spot with yummy sweet treats.

    Everything was delicious! Drinks were amazing! Pastries so flaky and the best cookies! Went back 2 more times within a week.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

    Waaah I loved this place! Vancouver, how lucky you are to have Konbiniya!…read more Walking into this place felt a little bit like being transported into Japan. I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here. Definitely came across items I've never seen before like a Takoyaki flavored Ramune. It was extremely discounted just fyi probably for good reason. They even had Japanese canned drinks stored hot like in Japan! The take away Japanese desserts also looked good. This place is right on Robson street so a great place to grab a snack, drink, pick me up while shopping. Prices seemed reasonable. One caveat is that it can get busy in here and the aisles are small so it felt a little crowded but that's sort of like Japan as well lol so not a big deal for me. Added to the ambience. Checkout was quick and easy!

It sounds crowded - and it is - but once you push your way to the back of the store, you'll find a tiny Japan tour travel agency and a shelf of clearance items at rock-bottom prices. Service is cheerful, personable and brisk. The store also houses a takeaway crepe and ice cream shop - the crepes are actually better than the ones I've had in Tokyo.
