They have a selection of games and cards to amuse you as you smoke the night away sipping on your tea. The owner is usually the one that is there, and is very nice. He's always able to give you his opinion on what the hottest flavors are at the moment... although most people have their own favorites, sometimes its nice to try something new. On weekends though, you want to try to get here a little early, because it gets full fast!

If you guys have hung out in shisha cafe's in the Middle East or anywhere else you'll know exactly what i'm talking about. Shame that Vancouver's stupid laws do not allow others to open more cafe's yet they will allow drug injection sites.

Mercedes-Benz (or are they referring to the drug? I kid) themed coffee shop in Burnaby Heights,…read moreacross the street from Safeway. Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. The interior is pretty neat. They have seats made out of parts of cars, and even the front counter is half of an old school SL. Lots of classic car parts on the walls. Staff are friendly and chatty. No problems there. The coffee selection is pretty decent. They also have cold (sweet) drinks. I had the V12 latte. They put a neat little teddy bear in the foam. Would've been cooler if they put a MB logo instead, but all good. The only complaint is that the car themed couches and regular couches are at different heights. So my friend and I were looking up and down at each other. Wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the car themed ambience and maybe try a pastry.

Shoulda caught the cues - it turned into a lunch time crowd. Staying way to long, I'm not into noisy rooms. Said our stressed goodbyes...(from the volume) ~I'll stick to their take out apps. Selection at Breka are worth it, just get there very early (and leave early)! Fyi, I had the apple pistachio strudel, coffee americano, guest, a plain croissant, matcha laté

My daughter selected this coffee bar so we could sit together and a couple of beverages…read more The menu variety was appealing to us. A maple latte and a strawberry match latte sounded good. The service was quick and we snagged the last open table. The interior was eclectic and the outdoor style chairs that were used for inside seating were a bit uncomfortable but it all contributed to this intimate, non chain, independent cafe. The strawberry matcha latte was a standout! The real strawberry pieces mixed within were delightful. The maple latte was just average. Nothing at all exciting to report. For some reason it lacked luster. Unfortunately it was enough to cot them a star.

Paired with crispy bill inspired Rice Krispie to dip. Rice Krispie was great. Chocolate and Rice Krispie combination is a winner, they blended so well and I really liked it.

It is a small space, but full of personality and charm. We ordered a Matcha Latte ($7), Japanese Latte ($7), and Matcha & Black Sesame Moffin ($1.50/each). I personally enjoy my matcha unsweetened so I loved that this one was served without sweeteners, and the matcha is lighter bodied with earthy flavours. The Japanese latte is made with coffee beans from Japan, and I'm not a coffee drinker usually so I can't comment much other than the fact it tasted mellow but had depth. The mochi muffins were not too sweet and deliciously chewy! I'd love to come back to try their hojicha latte!

I wanted this to be my regular coffee shop as it is close to home, but the store is constantly flooded?? Absolutely disgusting and should be fixed by now.. I can't believe corporate has allowed this to continue. The workers are not friendly and accommodating, there is one that has been really sweet, can't remember her name but she has curly hair and glasses, might start with a K? However, I've seen the manager be rude to her employees. Overall vibe is not good and because of that I can no longer support this store. If you're looking for a relaxing coffee stop or a clean place to sit and work, do yourself a favor and skip this one. There are plenty of other locations nearby that actually care about basic cleanliness and treating customers with respect.
