    Walking around Gastown, my partner and I were looking for a little cafe to visit while there. We stumbled upon Cafe Kitsune, a part of Maison Kitsune, but with its own connected storefront. We ordered the hot dark chocolate matcha drink and it was so good. It balanced the line between a matcha latte and a hot chocolate super well and it was the perfect warming drink on a cold chilly day.

    This is a famous cafe and the quality of their food and drinks are very good. The only downside is the price point but for an occasional nice treat it does the job. They also have merch for purchase but that also does ring up quite costly. It's very clean and aesthetic inside.

    Every time I visit Vancouver I always stop by this cozy cafe. Their coffee is what I keep coming back for. I've tried their matcha biscoff and it was tasty. It wasn't too sweet either. The cafe is clean and their staff is friendly!

    I visited Cafe Kitsune in Gastown to get a drink. I have been to the one in Paris and finally had a chance to visit the one in Vancouver. I got Matcha crumble latte which sprinkled biscoff cookie on the top of Matcha latte. Drink itself was good, matcha flavor was decent and milk texture was very creamy, I really liked it. However, biscoff part was subtle. Next time, I will try different item. Their baking goods

    Yuzu brioche

    Always great service and super clean aesthetic. Love that it's a no laptop spot so it's really about catching up with whoever you're there with and deters lingering from laptop people. Always gotta get one of those little round brioche things, there's yuzu, matcha, and strawberry but I was in an ultra matcha mood. Love the matcha as it's unsweetened.

    right in the thick of gastown, on 157 water street, this french-japanese café (franchise) sits on cobblestone streets dotted with lamplighters, charming flower baskets, tourists jostling for a steam clock selfie, and waiting for the steam clock to chime. inside, it's all sleek minimalism, a bold red banquette, it's laptop and tablet free, and a retail space next door selling branded merch. i went for the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk. the strawberry sauce came from a bottle, it was thick, difficult to dissolve and my poor paper straw was one swirl away from disintegrating. unfortunately, the matcha was premade and poured in, no graceful hand whisking with a chasen ceremony here. it looked pretty, and tasted fine. still, if you're hanging out in gastown, and/or waiting for the steam clock to do its thing, this place makes a stylish pit stop.

    On rainy quiet Sunday morning. Cafe was empty. Service was prompt and quietly friendly. Ham and cheese scroll was delicious and crunchy and heavy on the butter. Yuzu and honey tea was satisfying for a rainy day. Clean and seating was comfortable. Only downside was washroom was out of service.

    I love this place. It was so good that we came back the next day during our Vancouver trip. The matcha crumble was sooo yummy. We got the mango yuzu cake, which was very light and refreshing. The inside is somewhat small. Bathrooms are very modern and clean.

    We enjoyed a perfect cup of Flat White with a delicious Pistachio Croissant while visiting Gastown in Vancouver B.C. Minimalist vibe. The Flat White was perfectly prepared. Service was fast, friendly and efficient!

    Y'all I am SHOOK. I walk in here and order a cheeky matcha latte with oat milk expecting it to cost 7$ MAX. Imagine my surprise when it came out to 9-10$. And it was SMALL. And didn't have much matcha in it. At this rate the millennials were right, I'll never be able to afford a house (bc I like buying silly little beverages). I will say the sweetness was perfect, the staff were nice and the bathrooms were impeccably clean and bopping some great tunes. But definitely not worth the price. At least they could've added more matcha. If I could relive my experience I would also ask for no ice because it further diluted a not very concentrated beverage.

    The interior design of this place was so minimalist & comfortable. It wasn't a big cafe but it had a good amount of seatings for people to sit and talk or do some work. The service was quick and friendly. They helped recommending what's popular on their menu so I ended up choosing the Yuzu Tart. The Yuzu tart was quite strong and I definitely tasted the yuzu in it. It was a little too gooey for how I like my tart but it still tasted really good. It was one of the recommended places to must go to in Gastown so I went. I definitely do think it's a nice place to drop by for a quick coffee or dessert after a long day

    Has a lot of merch with their logo
    Laurra H.

    Ambiance is very casual, friendly, but not dingy like Starbucks. Food they have some creative lattes center around matcha. Not too strong matcha flavors for those who think matcha can get too grassy. Service is the best. Honestly I thought it was as good as when i was in japan.

    Hojicha roll cake
    May N.

    I came here specifically for the hojicha roll cake while exploring the Gastown area. Months later, I am still thinking about how delicious this cake is! The cake is fluffy and soft, and the hojicha jelly in the middle was such a nice surprise. I'm usually not a fan of cream but their cream filling was light and not too sweet. The entire thing was pure perfection!

I throughly enjoyed both of my mocktails; blush hour and another drink that isn't normally on their menu that had ginger. My favorite hors d'oeuvre was hands down the scallop. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were offered a 5 course meal, thai soup was amazing. It had a kick to it thay clung to your throat but kept you wanting to coming back for more Chicken and waffles was too battered and salty for me, although I liked the pickled purple cabbage that came with it. The sorbet oalate cleansers was refreshing I had asked for my steak to come really rare and found it to be a bit overcooked. The texture seemed slightly different too. I would have enjoyed this more if there was a bit more sauce. Thr mashed potatoes were delicious and so were the Brussel sprouts and garlic carrots. Dessert was chocolate mint pot de creme. I normally don't like pot de creme but I will say that theirs was pretty decent.

Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with Taku and watching him prepare drinks. They have an impressive cocktail list. The bar stools didn't have a backrest so it was a bit uncomfortable after awhile, I would've preferred sitting at a table. We started off with the June brioche and it was pillowy soft. Foie gras was their feature of the evening and although it was delicious, we were told it was cooked, but it was prepared as a cold dish. The crispy eggplant with tomato base was tasty. The mussels were incredibly fresh, topped with petite frites. Pasta for Rachel is named after the chef's wife and it was rich and addicting with potato filling. The only dish I didn't care for was the Fraser Valley chicken as it was a bit dry. I normally don't care for chocolate mousse but really enjoyed this one. They even added a candle for my birthday and gave me a mini ice cream cone.

    We were a table of 5 and they recommended that we choose at least 10 dishes to share. I generally…read morereally enjoyed our experience at June, but there were a few dishes that were disappointing. I loved the scallops. They were perfectly cooked. The sauce that it came with was so delicious that I literally drank it all up. It would have been perfect if they made a soup version of it. The Hamachi Crudo was also delicious. It was very fresh and tasty. The Frog Legs were surprisingly really good. They were deep fried and tossed in what I would consider to be a sweet chili sauce. The Beef Tartare and the Striploin didn't have much flavor. We upgraded the fries that came with the Striploin to truffle fries for $20. The additional $20 was a bit ridiculous, but it was nice to try. They had tons of truffle in the dip. The Trout Rilette surprised me by how good it was. It was packed with flavor and was slightly smoky. I enjoyed the Crispy Eggplant, although it was on the smaller side. It got soggy quickly, so I recommend eating it quickly. The Brussel Sprout Salade was served slightly warm. I liked the slight acidity of the dish. The Mussels were unique. The petite fries were slightly spicy. The sauce was good but could have used a touch more flavor. The Pasta for Rachel was disappointing. It didn't have much flavor. However, we really liked the Butternut squash and truffle ravioli. It was slightly sweet. I would have much preferred a double portion of this, instead of getting the Pasta for Rachel. The customer service was really great. The staff checked up on us and took the time to explain their menu. I found the restaurant to be a bit too dark for my preferences, but it was still acceptable. 4.5 stars
