    More seating + washrooms

    A nice switch up from the increasingly common Western coffee shops around. Finally a place to get an authentic chai!! It was hot and freshly brewed within the hour I had ordered. They served it with a biscuit. The chai paired perfectly: warming yet not too spicy, and rich and had depth of flavour, not too sweet. The staff were friendly and explained the short (small) vs long (large) sizing to me. I saw them giving good suggestions to other customers on menu items as well. The cafe itself has a decent amount of seating and free wifi. Parking on Fraser is all pay parking, but there is some residential parking available on E46th and 47th (keep in mind that much of it is for residents of the block only). I will be back!

    I only ordered their iced elaichi chai. It was really good! I would definitely come back and order it again and try other items on their menu. The restaurant has some tables and chairs. The lighting is bright and vibrant. I love it. I don't like restaurants that are dark inside. Customer service was good. I asked questions and the staff was helpful. The pricing is reasonable as well.

    Elaichi Chai is such a gem! If you're craving Indian comfort food that actually tastes like home, this is the place. Everything we tried was full of flavor, made with care, and served in a warm, welcoming space. Their elaichi chai was easily one of the best I've had in Vancouver--perfectly spiced, not too sweet, and so fragrant. The bun maska was buttery and nostalgic, and dipping it in the chai felt like a little ritual. We also got the vada pav, which was crispy, spicy, and full of that classic street food flavor, and the misal pav was a standout--my first time trying it, and I loved the mix of textures and bold spices. The aamrakhand and srikhand were creamy and just the right amount of sweet, and I finished with their filter coffee and a thick, malai-topped Puneri lassi. Everything hit the spot. You can really tell how much love and intention goes into the food here. I'll definitely be back--and bringing friends!

    I was craving cake and we heard that this was a great spot to try so why not?…read more We arrived at 4:30pm on a Saturday hoping for the best. We tried a sampling of the small cakes, cupcakes and some items from the pastry case. They were ALL EXCELLENT. Fresh with light balance of flavors as well as a great ratio of sponge to frosting. The banana bread was as good as any home made I've ever had. We've been back twice since that visit, including to get birthday cakes, and Trafiq remains my favorite cake/cupcakes/treats in Vancouver. My recommendation is get there in the morning and have a(n) amazing schmecken and a latte. The (amazing) schnecknen was perfection plus and now as I write this at 4:00pm on a weekday in South Granville I really want a Trafiq Schnecken. Aside from everything we've ever ordered being excellent, the staff is great and they have a nice cozy dining area. It's also a great neighborhood for a stroll.

    I visited Trafiq for Nomsmag Cherry blossom festival limited item…read more What we got: Strawberry Jasmine Tea Horchata Fragrant jasmine tea horchata steeped with real strawberry, poured over ice. Floral and fruity with a clean, honeyed finish. Kinako Cherry Cheese Swiss Roll Light sponge cake rolled with tangy cherry compote and smooth cream cheese, dusted with nutty roasted kinako soybean powder. Matcha-Berry Opera Cake Thin layers of matcha joconde sponge, berry ganache, and matcha buttercream stacked into a refined, jewel-toned slice. Black forest cupake and cookie and cream cupcake. Kinako Cherry cheese swill roll was good. Cherry compote dominated the cake flavor, paired with cream cheese well. Kinako powder was very subtle, it was not overly sweet, overall, it was very good. Strawberry jasmine tea was just ok. Strawberry and floral flavor were very subtle. Jasmine tea flavor dominated this drink. When I mixed with Whipped cream on top, it tasted better. Matcha berry opera cake was the highlight! Matcha buttercream and berry ganache paired so well, and surprisingly it was not overly sweet. What I always love about Trafiq's cakes is that their cake is not overly sweet, and have very sophisticated flavor. Black forest cupcake and cookie and cream cupcake's presentation was super cute! The cute rounded buttercream on the top of cupcake caught our eye. Cupcake tasted just ok, sponge was decent and cream was softer than I thought. I liked cookie and cream flavor better. Overall, highly recommend this place's dessert and cakes.

I also love that they close at 10, perfect for students and for late night coffee. Most nice cafes close early so I'm so happy to have found this gem!

    I'd never been to this Blenz location before. It was a convenient place for me to stop though as I…read morewas on my way home and feeling quite parched, so really didn't care to wait until I got closer to the Blenz that was closer to my home. I wanted a drink ASAP. I had a birthday freebie to redeem from the Blenz App and as I'd already just finished spending a bit of money on groceries and other essentials, I thought it would be a good time to claim my bday freebie and give my wallet a break. So, I walked and at first thought I could order just about any drink on the menu and that it would just be restricted to a certain size. Well, it turns out the bday freebie from Blenz is limited to certain types of drinks. It doesn't apply to a lot of the specialty drinks. Teas, tea lattes, coffees...those are the kinds of drinks that you can get with the bday freebie. I really should have read the fine print first before trying to order but I was hot and thirsty. The brain was not braining...the brain only knew one thing, which was that I was thirsty! The guy working at the counter though was very kind and patient. I sometimes worry that people are going to give me poor service cuz when I walk in to claim something for free, and don't spend money on anything else while I'm there. When someone can still be kind, friendly, helpful and patient with me even though I'm not spending any money there...that is excellent service to me, and that makes me more likely to wanna come back at a future point in time and spend money in the shop when it's not my bday. So...hats off to the guy at this Blenz who pointed out the fine print on the bday offer to me; then made me my free bday beverage and served it to me with a smile. I ended up ordering an iced Chai Latte and it was awesome by the way! Highly recommend this location of Blenz!

    I wanted to try the "blue matcha", which is not really a matcha and has no caffeine. However, it…read morelooked cool, so I thought I'd give it a try. The man behind the counter was patient with me as I try to navigate the app. This place is nice and cozy with plenty of space to hang out. Unfortunately, the blue matcha was not very tasty. It looked beautiful though.
