    Center communal table
    Herman E.

    I am uttery confused. First off, when you venture into one of these diners (Chinese Canadian food), there's a rule. That rule is, they're run by first generation Cantonese dialect speakers that no other standard Canto speakers can understand. Well, half of my statement was correct. I, indeed could not understand what they were saying, but it wasn't a Cantonese dialect. It was Mandarin. Huh?????? Since when did this happen? Not only that, there was lamb on the menu. Mind you, it was written in Chinese, so I'm wondering, who's their target customer base?? Lamb is not a very common Cantonese staple. It's there but not common. Were they expecting Mainland Chinese from the Xinjiang areas to be eating here? Well they're missing cumin then. I dunno. I'm making wild guesses. Doubtful any traditional Canto eaters would be coming here, so I wonder why they have lamb on the menu. We were the only Asians in a Chinese Canadian joint run by Asians. You'll notice that there's also Japanese food on the menu. Not only that, there's a Japanese curry pork cutlet on rice offered - but it's written in Chinese with no English translation. *** Face Palm*** I ate the Western food. There was no Chinese translation. What happened there? It was pretty decent. I knew what I was getting so I can't really bash it. It is what it is. It's a diner. A greasy spoon diner. But what I ate, it wasn't greasy. Not sure what happened there either. It was missing flavour. The flavour of vitamin G. I really wonder how many people that have come here have ordered the curry lamb on rice or the Japanese curry pork cutlet on rice. Only the Chinese readers would have ordered it. My wild guess is, they don't get very many. Family run and they're very friendly. Visa/MC accepted. WIFI too.. Bugers!!!

    * Canadian Chinese diner * Mix stereotypical Canadian Chinese food with stereotypical diner food, and you've got Laura's Coffee Shop. Seeing some of the Canadian Chinese food on some other tables, I opted for the diner food. Canadian Chinese food is just way too "exotic" for me. Kind of like this: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/iron-wok-chinese-express-vancouver#hrid:idpSLQ7t6xiaO7uFEW0b6Q The club sandwich was fairly run of the mill. It was served on supermarket quality bread, cut in half instead of quarters. It had very thinly sliced supermarket quality turkey roll, shredded lettuce, tomato, some bacon, and for good measure a fried egg (that was a new one for me). I'm not a huge fan of supermarket turkey roll, so the meat was a disappointment, as was the bread. The egg was a nice touch though and was cooked with the yolk just slightly runny - nice. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/XMpWwKD-J1rRaxBwUxaU8g?select=1tU--SFKwqvFCFHQ-V8hdQ The sandwich came with fries - which were those coated fries that taste like they get double fried. They were hot and freshly fried, but I couldn't help but think of big bags of frozen fries sitting in the back. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/XMpWwKD-J1rRaxBwUxaU8g?select=uknDio4HZyHAoB5__xjmZg Overall I wouldn't rush back. If I was in the neighbourhood and stuck in a pinch I may pop in for lunch again.

    Well... Seem little bit cheap and weird to me... But It's kind of funny tough...!!

    2 years later and still my fav spot for matcha lattes! The staff are sooo friendly and the drinks…read moreare quality! Love that oat milk is free to substitute! Highly recommend their mochi pastries and icecream too!

    iced matcha latte with oat milk and a chance to win a whisked away to japan? okay, avik, you have…read moremy attention. stopped into avik a little after 3:00 pm on a tuesday, on my way to an appointment, and the place was packed. not exactly surprising given that this west broadway café has become known for its specialty coffee and tea, house made pastries, and all sorts of creative japanese inspired treats. it's a bright, modern space, and there's a lot going on once you start looking around. i went with the iced matcha latte with oat milk, and it was a solid matcha. smooth, nicely balanced, and definitely enough to satisfy the afternoon matcha craving. avik describes its matcha as a high grade tea offering, alongside hojicha, chai and london fog, so tea clearly gets more than an obligatory spot on the menu. then there's the pastry display. so. many. things. the strawberry matcha cookie immediately caught my eye, but then there was a mochi black sesame croissant and i was basically standing there thinking, wait, what?! the menu leans into those japanese flavours in some really fun ways, and there are enough interesting combinations to make a return visit feel very necessary. the strawberry matcha cookie, for example, combines matcha, dried strawberries, white chocolate and cream cheese. the ordering setup is also very much of the future is now variety. there's a huge tablet for self ordering, plus a sliding freezer case for chocolates and ice cream bars. because apparently a regular pastry case wasn't futuristic enough. and then there was the little bonus dangling in front of me: the chance to win a trip to japan through the whisked away to japan promotion, courtesy of paragon. considering how much i've been thinking about japan lately, that felt like a particularly well timed bit of temptation. i sure could use a trip to japan right about now. between the matcha, the creative pastries, the japanese inspired flavours and the very modern ordering setup, avik is a fun stop when the usual coffee and croissant routine needs a little shaking up. even on a packed tuesday afternoon, there was plenty to catch the eye and plenty of reasons to start planning the next visit.

    This small coffee shop offers some unique and seasonal coffee options. The space is quite compact,…read morewith a few small tables available for dine-in. Parking can be a bit tricky -- if you're lucky, you might find street parking right out front. With limited space inside, expect a line outside if there are more than a few people ahead of you. We ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, Earl Grey Flat White, and a Pastéis de Nata. The drinks took about five minutes to prepare, and the staff worked efficiently. Their menu seems to rotate seasonally, so you might find limited-time or specialty flavors depending on when you visit. As for the drinks, they were just okay in my opinion. The flat white was quite strong, and while it included Earl Grey syrup, the flavor didn't come through as clearly as expected. The Pastéis de Nata was decent -- not too sweet, but a bit dense. Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get. Worth a visit if you're curious about their seasonal offerings.

My sister talked up their frozen matcha here and it delivered! I got the frozen matcha that they are known for and I added a little of the passion fruit syrup which is actual fruit. This was excellent. They also do the traditional strawberry as well. They also had the best cardamom bun I've ever had. Truly a must visit if you live here or you're visiting. The way they do the frozen matcha is amazing. Truly epic.

    Insane Venezuelan Dulce de Leche Lattes…read more Starbucks Caramel Lattes can go take a walk. * * * Chocolate donuts with strawberry icing with massive huge strawberry taste in the icing. The only good frosted donut I have ever eaten with complete wonderment. (Actually, I have not had that many good donuts in over 72 years of donut eating. I am not sure how cops on break tolerate the average American or Canadian donut. But thank god, they eat them so I don't have to.) But I would eat donuts all day and all night at 49th Parallel. What a place!

Brownie points for convenience. My husband ordered a double espresso and in true men's fashion claimed it to be "solid". I ordered the maple sea salt shaken espresso and it was *chefs kiss*. If you are a sweet and salty lover, get it! It won't disappoint you. We also ordered the Doug sandwich and the Avo sandwich. Don't let the looks fool you as the sandwiches' appearances fall kind of short. However, both sandwiches were delicious. Starbucks could never. ‍ The Doug Sandwich - a full bodied sandwich consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and tarragon aioli. I thought this sandwich would be too heavy, but the brioche bun is light and the scrambled eggs are really fluffy. The Avo Sandwich - a lighter sandwich featuring fried egg, avocado, cheddar cheese, sun dried tomato pesto, tarragon aioli and mixed greens. Also a good choice! The cafe was clean and they have a water dispenser available for customers. Service was ok, but I think they were just a bit busy.
