    Their crescent rolls and pastries are amazing. Excellent service! Great location in a popular area of the city and love the aroma cafe atmosphere here!

    Hot Chocolate and Nocciola Mocha
    Nikole D.

    The staff is friendly and polite when they interact with customers. The space provided for the cafe is smaller, but provides a variety of seating. The environment is good for those who need something quick during a work break or to-go/continue on with your day. Being an Italian cafe, give one of the pastries a try. The Bomboloni with Nutella is similar to a sugar donut, however the taste isn't overpowering (if you are a sweets person). The staff is accommodating as they still made a hot chocolate even though it wasn't on the official menu. You should also give the specials menu a chance as the Nocciola Mocha lives up to the hazelnut and sweet flavor.

    Panino Verdura, Pistachio Tart, Espresso Shakerato

    Disappointed that they removed all of the vegetarian panini from the menu except the Caprese, which was out of stock when I was there. The new vegan verdura wrap that I got instead was 90% couscous inside with only small pieces of "verdura". Decaf americano was also so-so this time, pretty bitter. I'm hoping I just had bad luck with the drink and next time will be great again. The torta caprese was excellent, with a lava-like centre.

    The cafe is brightly lit and in a convenient location. Inside it's a bit on the tighter side with seating and number of tables fitting in the space, but my client suggested a meeting there. We found a table for 3 and it worked out. No complaints with the coffee and I was surprised how much I liked the sandwich although on the pricier side at $14.

    Bongiorno! WOW - what a cool like dat Italian cafe! Lo adoro! The decor is ahhhhhhh mazing! Giovane Caffè first opened up at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel Vancouver, years ago & then came a second location in Toronto. This location marks the second spot in downtown Vancouver & the third location in Canada. Giovane Caffè is part of the Kitchen Table group of restaurants encompassing - Ask for Luigi (see my review), Carlino, Bacaro at Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, Di Beppe, Farina a Legna, Pizzeria Farina (see my review), Pourhouse & Super Veloce (see my review). A fine group of company to be amongst - indeed. I find coffee to be very subjective - like how some swear upon their first born that McDonald's has the best burgers or that Tim Hortons coffee rocks - nope I'll pass! Yelpies come try out the classic Italian coffee served here & you decide - based on tasters choice ... right!?! I'm giving Giovane Caffè top marks for ambiance & presentation. Arrivederci!

    Three beverages for almost 30 CND

    Very expensive place to have a coffee or a juice .... Prices are exaggerated . Unbelievable 3 normal beverages almost 30 CND. Besides dirty tables . Never to come again !!!

    Muesli and espresso
    Phyllis D.

    I stopped in for an espresso after visiting the amazing Vancouver Public Library just across the street. Every table has a view outside and there is plenty of light. I also purchased muesli for breakfast tomorrow and was tempted to get one of the interesting salads (wasn't hungry). The staff was super nice to check that there wasn't any coconut in the muesli.

    The cappuccino was very good. The service was pleasant and without undue delay. Will try again and maybe up the rating if consistent.

    Good aesthetic. Good pastries. Depending on who makes your coffee, could be drinking a well made proper cappuccino.

One thing noticeable about this restaurant is the lacking of plates. They used majority of their plates to serve the food on. However the food were served as finger foods and we were expected to hold our food in our hand. Somewhat strange. They also ran out of glasses during the party. The bartender couldn't even keep up with our drinks. Anyways other than the above. The event was a great event. I got the opportunity to try all four of their mocktails: - Blueberry Basil Lemonade - Mango Lavender Lemonade - Minty-Berry Sour - Pear Lavender Sour All their drinks were very fancy prepared and my favorite are the Minty-Berry Sour and the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I also found that there is some inconsistency in the glass they serve it out of. The food was delicious as mentioned before. My favorite out of their finger foods were the grill cheese brisket. OMG that was really good. The other memorable items are the porkbelly and fried chicken. I think the fried chicken is one of their popular items on the menu served during brunch. The cheesecake at the end I got was very soft but flavorful. The cheeseburger slider was really good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor of the place was nice. The restaurant is very small. Because we were over 100 people, there was a wait for the 3 stalls in the bathroom. There was not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. I think the restaurant can comfortably maybe accommodate around 40 or 50 guests max. I will definitely be back again someday to try their brunch menu.

According to the website, this chain is named after the owner's golden retriever. It sure looks happy. Parking is available in front of the building, as well as along various village side streets. The inside is nice and modern. Funky looking speaker system (it's functional) in the corner. Great view of the water. There are also a couple of outdoor tables to the E of the building. Staff are friendly and cheerful. No complaints. The doughnuts are a bit pricey but they sure are delicious. I really like "Asian" style doughnuts as they are less sweet than their western counterparts. I had the matcha cream and could definitely taste the matcha. Will be trying their other locations at some point. Recommended.

Half way through our cold coffees I wished we had sat at a table instead. Here's some honesty... We were in the mood for a great cup of coffee with some sweets on a nice Fall day in beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Not only did it not hit the spot, but we couldn't have gotten out of there quicker. Very Disappointing. The Golden Retriever Logo was cute though.

Seating ranges from bar table, picnic benches, lawn chairs, and small tables. We waited about 25 to 30 mins for our food, which felt on the long side of things. The bun was soft and moist. The burger itself was good, but nothing special. Their marshmallow latte just tasted like regular coffee with sweetener. We expected toasted marshmallow on top of the actual drink, so we were left disappointed. Something that I found to be inconvenient was that you had to order your burger at one section and order your drink at another. Making clients line up twice is an inconvenience. One upside is that they have dog friendly seating.
