    Very cute interior with nice coffee and service :) Got a lot of food choices for breakfast/lunch and the music is very nice for morning coffee vibes

    Cafe Dulce is always a sweet win! This location is clean, bright, and welcoming, with super friendly staff and shelves that never disappoint. I'm hooked on their Cold Matcha and rich hot Mocha--and don't even get me started on those heavenly Roti Buns and fresh, drool-worthy donuts! Whether it's the Little Tokyo OG or this convenient Vernon spot near the office, Cafe Dulce always delivers. Consider me a proud regular!

    Iced Blueberry Matcha and Vanilla iced Latte

    This place is so cute! They are in a plaza and have ample parking so no issues with parking which is always a plus! The server was kind and was patient while I figured out what o wanted. I ended up grabbing a chocolate chip cookie, ordered an iced vanilla latte and an iced blueberry matcha. The iced vanilla coffee was good, and just the right amount of syrup! The blueberry matcha was also delicious! I thought it would have blueberry puree like but I think a syrup is used, regardless it was good and not too sweet. They have a variety of food for breakfast/lunch and the donuts/ baked goods looked so good! I went for a quick coffee run but I will definitely go back to try the food. Once I do I will update my review. The pricing is okay, a bit high but I feel like now and days going out to get a matcha means spending $7.00+. I put photos of the drink but forgot to take a photo of the cookie!

    I finally made it to Café Dulce, and wow, it definitely lives up to the hype! I tried the breakfast burrito with sausage and avocado, and it was a total standout. The tortilla was light and crispy, the flavors were spot on, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. It's one of those dishes you take a bite of and instantly know you'll be back for again. 10 out of 10 for taste! Cleanliness is also a 10 out of 10--the space is well-kept and welcoming. The service was great too, very friendly and quick. I'd rate it a solid 8.5 out of 10. Café Dulce has a really good selection of pastries, coffees, and teas. I tried the rose green tea latte and it was simply delightful, light, floral, and just the right amount of sweetness. There's something for everyone here. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or planning a chill brunch with friends, this spot hits the mark. There's a cute outdoor patio if you want to sit outside, plus a few tables inside if you prefer a cozier vibe. Highly recommend Café Dulce, it's definitely going on my regular brunch list.

    Large latte

    It's a very nice place. Service is fast and good. They have everything you need coffee bakery sandwiches and salads. I bought only a cup of coffee with oat milk, the large size latte, which was pretty pricy to be honest about $8. I think they charge extra for the oat milk, but that's too much guys, oat milk is not so expensive:) I'm not professional in terms of coffee taste, but I think this one was too sour. Some sorts of coffee have citrus taste, so maybe it was because of specific coffee beans, I don't know. Probably need to come again, but no oat milk this time. The location is good, seems like you guys did a research. No coffee shops around. And it's busy. Thank you! Overall I give them 5 starts!

    The iced blueberry matcha latte is sooo good!!! It tastes like blueberry milk, yummm Free parking and ample seating for studying, wish they were open a lil later ;(

    Best coffee in Vernon * coffee and donuts * free parking (spacious) * breakfast burritos * blueberry matcha * customers service Parking alone makes this place one of the best coffees in town. It's so hard these days to find good locations with free parking. My favorite orders - iced vanilla latter with whole milk - breakfast burritos add avocados - pastrami burger (but really a sandwich) - vegan peanut butter jelly donut - hazelnut crumble & brick toasts Endless options!

    Not enough in that there boh-ree-toe!

    I walked into this place for the first time and would have left if I wasn't already wearing earplugs. The bass was so high and the music so loud, I don't understand why ppl would stay inside. Burrito was good, but the bottom had a buncha extra tortilla they coulda stuffed w a little more food. I wouldn't tell anyone "not' to go here, but I'm not recommending it either. Big selection of coffee type drinks, btdubbs-if that's your thing. The coffee maker looked like a pro in his street clothes w no apron or anything to help distinguish him from some dude that could have just walked behind the counter.

They do not serve cold brew but the Einspanner Black does the charm for me. Their matcha is also good as it is not too sweet nor too bitter. The fan favorite is the Wagyu slider. I personally like the egg salad one more since I am not a meat on meat person but the bacon wagyu slider is better. I would say this place is the better version of Community Goods and does not have as long of a wait. Note - kitchen food is not served until 9:30AM so if you're an early riser or trying to get in and out, you will be out of luck.

I got the Einspänner, which was on the sweeter side but still very satisfying. But honestly not by far the best.... The space is super modern and chic, with designer furniture and lighting throughout. Apparently, the pieces are available for purchase upon request, which gives the café more of a curated design-showroom feel. There's casual seating inside that works well for working, plus a nicer dining setup on the outdoor balcony. This place is definitely hidden! Parking is inside the apartment building, followed by two elevator rides up. Luckily, the signage makes it pretty easy to navigate. You get 30 minutes of free validated parking, but there can be a line and drinks come out a little slowly, so the validation time may not always be enough. Overall, a really cool spot if you're looking for good matcha in a unique setting.

It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

A few different YouTubers raved about ROK Coffee & Tea, so I decided to try them out... and it definitely lived up to the recommendations! The MATCHA DUO was EXCEPTIONAL and delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, the perfect creaminess, and the matcha wasn't bitter at all. You can tell they use really good, high-quality matcha because not only could I taste the quality, I could feel it in my energy level too. My sister got the MANGO MATCHA DUO with oat milk and absolutely loved it. My sister's coworker tried the SPARKLING YUZU MATCHA and said it was delicious! She loved that the yuzu flavor wasn't overpowering and said the matcha tasted very high quality. We also got the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MATCHA DUO because it was recommended as one of their top picks. We gave it to another one of her coworkers, and she finished it so quick! She said it tasted like a dessert and raved about how delicious and amazing it was! There's seating area in front of the café and as well as inside. The inside is really cute and had a nice atmosphere. The best time to go is early in the morning when open. Customer service was exceptional! Everyone was very kind while at the same time quick and attentive to the line. If there tends to be a line, it moves pretty quickly, and our drinks were ready fast after we ordered. If you get lucky, you can find street parking, but be careful parking on Olympic Blvd. during certain times. Not to worry though because they do have a parking structure, which makes things much easier. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROK Coffee & Tea! Everything we tried gets a 10/10 from us! The quality of the matcha, the flavors, the customer service, and the overall experience were all excellent. We will most definitely be back!!!

So we decided to come here for coffee or tea and ended up having a really nice time. I used to come here quite often about four years ago. Back then, I really liked their Einspänner and ordered it several times. But the last time I came, I thought it was way too sweet, so I hadn't been back since. It had actually been a REALLY long time since I last visited. And when I used to come here four years ago, I always came in the morning or around lunchtime. Last night was my first time ever coming here at night. My friend told us that they are open until midnight, so that's why we decided to come here after dinner. I had heard that parking here can be a nightmare because there aren't enough parking spaces and people have a hard time finding a spot. But once again, my parking luck was AMAZING! A car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to park very easily. Another friend arrived later than I did, and she said she couldn't find a parking spot at all. She drove around for quite a while looking for one before finally finding street parking. Last night, we also had some tiramisu, and since I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, I decided to have a caffeine-free ade instead of coffee or tea. It was a little sweet for my taste, but it was ok. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and talked and talked and talked. We had such a fun time together! However, it was actually pretty cold outside last night. I remember thinking that it felt surprisingly chilly. But what was even crazier was how FREEZING cold it was inside the café! They had the air conditioning turned up so high that both my friends and I felt like we were going to freeze to death. The restroom is inside, and I also went inside to get some water, so I mentioned to one of the male employees that it was freezing inside. He told me that they didn't feel cold at all because they were working, and that THEY were actually feeling really hot. I went back to our table and told my friends what he had said, and they were like, "WHAT?! We're freezing to death over here!" The parking lot here is actually pretty large, so I was wondering why it was so difficult to find a parking spot. Apparently, at night, the left side is the café, while on the right side there is a bar where people can drink and also play games. There was a huge line of people waiting outside the bar last night, so I'm guessing that's probably why the parking lot gets so crowded and it's hard to find a spot. It was also pretty chilly outside last night because of the low temperature, so one thing I wished they had on the outdoor patio was heaters. That would have made sitting outside much more comfortable on a cold night.

The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!
