    This place is big and has plenty of big windows that let lots of lights in. Music is tolerable, not too loud that one can gave a decent conversation. A lot of people with their laptops. Plenty of outlets for electronics. They even have a nice patio outside to hangout in. I like coming here people watching on a nice day like this. They have nice selections of pastries, sandwiches and drinks. Price is decent. Coffee is fresh, medium body. Service is fast and friendly. There's street parking around. Along Main St. there are lots of restaurants to choose from. I recommend visiting!

    14th and Main Street location of JJ Bean offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, JJ Bean baking and a homey interior. Our first time at this location, we were able to find street parking a few steps away. There are a lot of dining and coffee places close by, this area is popular with locals and tourists alike. We shared our standard Americano plus a savoury cheese and chive scone and very berry muffin. Nice touch, they have wooden cutlery and butter on the condiment area. They also have stevia and a good supply of napkins. Staff was friendly, order came up quickly and the coffee was very good. Establishment was clean and tables were cleared. Overall 4.5 out of 5 IMO.

    Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 I'll start off by saying that I haven't tried any of their drinks at this location but I got a few pastries and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were! I made my order for pickup in the evening and scored with having no line when I walked in. The staff member behind the counter was really friendly and had my order ready to go which was great because I was in and out in 2min. I picked up an Apple fritter cruffin, a chocolate zucchini muffin, a cranberry orange muffin, a cheddar and chive scone, and a rhubarb pastry. Normally with chains I have low expectations for pastries but these were all really good! The muffins were super moist and the scone had a great flavour but the two winners were definitely the cruffin and the danish! There's ample seating here but whenever I pass by it seems to be a popular spot for people on their laptops so it might be hard getting a table since the turnover is quite slow. I plan on coming back to see how it is sitting in the cafe as well!

    Stopped by for some bike ride coffee stop at 7.30am on a weekday. Great service and really convenient location. Spacious patio outside away from the traffic / cars.

    Terrible sandwich
    Heathe M.

    Yes, another disappointment and very surprised as this place had four and five star reviews. Coffee smelled great that's what brought me in and I wanted a sandwich to go. I bought a package roasted chicken sandwich for $11. Photos below and what a surprise that it had nothing in it except hard discolored chicken with no lettuce or tomato and Soggy bread. Oh well scratch this one off my list for next time

    Vegan berry parfait

    This review will be short, but perhaps not sweet. I've been here before and wasn't a fan, and years later I'm still not a fan. I ordered a vegan parfait and honestly it could have been so much better than it was. I particularly didn't like the granola. It was literally all pumpkin seeds. The parfait also wasn't sweet enough. It was one of the most unpleasant desserts I've had in awhile. Just because it's vegan doesn't mean it shouldn't be appetizing. I could have a designed a better one, honestly. The ambiance is ok, nothing great. I doubt I'll give this place a third chance.

    Came here for some coffee. Parking is available on the side streets. This location is quite different in that there is a really nice large patio that extends onto the street. Definitely makes the outdoor experience way more enjoyable. Special mention. Not sure if this is only during the summer months though. As for the coffee, it's pretty decent.

    Good coffee, breakfast wrap was fresh and very nice. Bathroom could be a little better maintained- out of towels.

    The best coffee in Vancouver. If you get there in the morning the pastries are also amazing.

Streams of red berry drape across the bouffant croissant, topped with a swirl of the most creamy chocolate ever, try to not devour it all in one bite! Biting into the puffy croissant reveals more miracles of taste and texture - run, don't walk, to L'atelier while they are featuring this magnificent confection. Best with coffee to punctuate the rich chocolate. As I was purchasing, another customer was commanding me to try the raspberry croissant - but it was sold out! L'atelier has outdone themselves with this offering. Still located at East Broadway at Carolina, outdoor seating for true Vancouverites, lots of street parking, easy transit.

What I got: Milk Chocolate Passion Fruit Croissant A bicolored croissant filled with milk chocolate and passion fruit whipped ganache. Bright and tangy notes meet smooth, comforting chocolate -- a taste of sunshine on a crisp fall afternoon. Bi colored croissant looked very beautiful. Dough was light and flaky as usual, the highlight was the filling. Tangy milk chocolate with passion fruit flavor was so delicious. It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
