It is a very cool trendy little spot with plenty of natural light and seating both outside and inside ...though the indoor seating is somewhat limited. They had a nice display of baked products...perhaps next time. The coffee was good...not overly bitter. I like the chill vibe and relaxed ambiance. It was a positive coffee experience.

Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreFood: 4/5 I knew I had to check out this newly opened location as soon as I could so I came with a friend on a Tuesday morning. There's 6 x 2-person tables inside along with maybe 4/5 outside as well. I managed to snag the last table for my friend and I but it definitely got less busy after 11am so keep this in mind if you're visiting. I tried the hibiscus lemonade and it was really good! I also appreciated that they had some samples of pastries to try which i imagine is because they just opened. The sample of the cheddar jalapeno scroll was delicious but not sure I would purchase it for close to its $8 price tag. The staff were really kind and i'd definitely come back to try some other drinks!

Why are the nurses screaming?! Well, we brought them a box of amazing pastries from L'atelier! The…read morepure joy echoing from behind the nurses station made our heart sing. They were showing each other the flavors, and shapes, and designs. Sweet plus savory. Cutting them in half and sharing. It was the least we could do to bring these high quality goodies, made by high quality bakers, to these high quality nurses in the cardiac unit for my mother-in-law. We were so impressed with the staff at L'atelier. They know their stuff and their recommendations are top notch. The bakery itself is so cute and modern and fun. I loved that you could sit outside even in the rain because they have stellar permanent awnings.

French bakery on Broadway with lovely interior and good coffee…read more We tried the canelé, which I think is one of the best indicators of a French bakery's pastry skills. Unfortunately, this one was a bit disappointing. The interior was overly moist, the caramelized crust lacked the crispness I was hoping for, and the honeycomb structure wasn't very well developed. Overall, it was just average. We also ordered the Strawberry Pistachio Tart. The strawberries were fresh with a nice balance of sweetness, and there was a good amount of pistachio chunks. However, it lacked the layers of flavor that make a tart memorable. On the bright side, the coffee was excellent and easily my favorite part of the visit. I'd happily come back for a coffee, but I'd probably try different pastries next time.

To get here, there is free underground parking. Inside, they have a stunning interior with a solid amount of seating. Our friends tried some of their award-winning coffees and we also got the Matcha Ube and Matcha Calamansi. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I can see why this spot is getting the hype it deserves!

Absolutely loved this cafe. I went on a weekday morning and there was a line to order so definitely…read morerecommend getting here early! Once you place your order they give you a table and bring your food out to you once it's ready. There's also a sign saying seats are assigned. We really appreciated that they enforced this since there was a group behind us that tried cutting the line to get seats. I got the matcha ube latte, pork belly benny and a pastry. The pastry was nice and flaky, I liked the sweetness of the ube with the bitterness of the matcha, and the pork belly benjy was so soft and melted in my mouth. The benny did seem a bit pricy but it definitely delivered with the quality. I'll be coming back the next time I'm in town!

Designed in classic - and classy - French cafe style, you know you're walking into something meaningful. You're first greeted by shelves of French products. Lots of olives. Bottles of balsamic vinegar, sheer vinegar,.and even tarragon vinegar. Bowls and baking products. A fr8dge with soups and even eggs! We came for bread and pastries so we simply bought pain du jour apple and walnut, two danishes and a latte. (I personally think they should change it to French with cafe au lait. At least that's what I grew up with in Vancouver until the invasion of SB.) All were very good nut the made to order sandwiches at the next table were so presentable that I must try nextby

What a charming little spot that's clearly been a local favorite for years. From the outside, I…read moreinitially thought it was more of a restaurant than a bakery café. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by shelves stocked with French jams and a variety of imported products for sale, which adds to the authentic feel. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a café, featuring quiches, sandwiches, and other items made fresh to order. We kept it simple and ordered lattes along with two Danish pastries. Everything was delicious, especially the pastries topped with fresh fruit. The vintage paintings on the walls and soft French music create a warm, relaxing atmosphere. This is easily one of the best French bakeries I've visited.

=== Overall === A beautiful, trendy place to get matcha and…read moresmall bites. My favorite cafe in North America to date. === Food === I ordered an iced pineapple matcha with oat milk which was mind blowing. My family got a hot matcha and an americano which they both said was great. The matcha was well presented and had perfect ratios - the color was vibrant and you couldn't taste the milk or water at all, it was so so good. I also ordered the caprese toast and it was probably the best caprese I've had, tied with Oven & Shaker in Portland when they had it on the menu. My family got the overnight oats and a croissant and said those were both good, but I think the caprese was the standout. === Service === I went on a holiday so there was a long line out the door but we still managed to snag a seat at the front. Food and drink didn't take that long. Friendly service, although they had pineapple matcha written with dry erase marker on their menu and when I asked for it they said it wasn't on the menu (but luckily they still had it). === Ambiance === Parking might be a little hard but the interior is very beautiful and they have a separate section for those who want to use their laptops and not. They ask that you use your laptop for a maximum of an hour.

This time on my visit, I got the pistachio matcha latte with soy milk (hot), and the ham and cheese croissant. The latte had a really nice matcha flavor, and was the right amount of sweetness for me. I couldn't really taste the pistachio at first, but after having a few more sips, I noticed the slightly nutty flavor. I would definitely get this again. The croissant was nice and flaky, and had a good amount of filling in it. It was seasoned well and I liked how the cheese oozed out a bit too. The customer service here was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I accidentally forgot to mention that I wanted to sub the milk for soy, and they were happy to change this as they were making my drink.

Service is polite and prompt, which makes the experience even better. I tried the blueberry matcha latte, the dalgona latte, the pesto chicken panini, and the jaeyook bowl. The jaeyook bowl was my absolute favorite. I loved it. The spice and savory flavor were perfect. The blueberry matcha was also spot on and really refreshing. The dalgona latte was a bit too sweet for me, but that is expected with dalgona. The pesto chicken panini was amazing and full of flavor. A great place for tasty food, creative drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Nice modern coffee shop on Fraser at 27th. This is a local chain with several locations. Can't…read morebelieve I didn't know this location existed for several years. Parking is available on the side streets. The place has that bare modern hipster look, with concrete floors, high ceilings, and white tiles. Tables are of the old vintage wood type. Metal chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job. Seating is adequate. There is a hidden section with more seats tucked away in the far corner. Layout is a bit strange in this respect. Staff are friendly. No complaints. Coffee is pretty decent. The place also has brunch and sandwich options, but I didn't try this time.

Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreFood/drink: 3.5/5 Came across this Prado location on Fraser with a friend as we were looking for a cafe to work from together and it turned out this was the perfect spot! There were lots of free spots available during the early afternoon mid-week (which is rare for most Vancouver cafes) and there's even a little nook in the back with a big table that's great for co working! We opted to sit in the front which was perfect because it had outlets and pretty good wifi. As for service, the staff were all super attentive and friendly so can't ask for anything else here! While the drinks we got were good, the food was a little lacking to me - I got the Margherita croissant which had no taste and was just an oily mess - but perhaps I just got the wrong thing. I'd try something else next time!

I visited Whisk Matcha cafe for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival special item…read more What I got: Matcha no Haru Parfait Plant-based spring parfait with housemade strawberry jelly, coconut condensed milk, strawberry whip, matcha rice crispy squares, and matcha & sakura soft serve. Topped with a hand-piped sakura flower by Megu of M Tokyo Confectionery. I just want to say... It was sooo good! Matcha vanilla soft serve's matcha flavor was strong, very soft and creamy and so delicious. Then, Matcha rice crispy squares paired with soft serve so well. I could not really taste matcha from rice crispy, may be because I mixed with soft serve. And there were strawberry jelly, strawberry puree, and strawberry whip at the bottom. When I mixed together with soft serve and rice crispy, It is so addictive. This item was definitely one of the best item at this festival in 2026. Presentation was so beautiful. I really want to get it again. As usual , owner was very friendly and provided nice service, however, one staff attitude was not really pleasant.

Unfortunately, the drink itself was quite disappointing. Since it's vegan, it was made with coconut cream instead of dairy, but the overall flavor was light and bland. The coconut foam didn't add much richness, and for a $9.50 drink, it felt underwhelming. It reminded me more of wheatgrass than matcha. I've had Whisk's matcha chocolate drink during hot chocolate festival before, and actually enjoyed them. Maybe will come again for their regular matcha drink.
