    Weak matcha, definitely ask for a double shot! Cute cafe with lots of space to work; didn't see many outlets though. My friend and I came in around Tuesday noon and it was pretty much empty. We ordered a Matcha Latte and a Strawberry Matcha Latte (one of their most popular drinks). Both were weak in matcha flavor. They had a bunch of seasonal drinks; Black Sesame Cloud Layered Latte was the one we wanted but it was out of stock.

    Nice and clean stand alone coffee shop. Nice staff. This review is based only on the nutty iced latte I tried. It's pretty good, but it also didn't wow me. Would probably have to try their actual coffee and pastries to give a more accurate review/ rating.

    Very trendy cafe near Broadway-City Hall Station. Two main points of appeal: They roast their own coffee beans and the seasonal special drinks are creative and trendy. The specials drinks are not just aesthetically pleasing but also tasty and fun to drink. I really like the donut lattes, which are topped with a salty frothed cream. Even though the coffee could be said to be their specialty, I think the tea-based drinks are just as good as the espresso-baked drinks, at least out of what I've tried. I've only tried the fancy specialty drinks so I can't comment on the straight coffee. From this perspective, the quality of the espresso/tea is not what stands out (it's good but not "special"), but the creative flavours and textures in the drinks. I haven't tried a drink here yet that didn't impress. The baked goods are like 75% hit, 25% miss where it's stale. My favourites have been the salted egg yolk croissant and coffee bun. The salted yolk filling melds together with the croissant and melts in your mouth. The pistachio croissant was also very good with LOTS of pistachio. Least impressive were the almond croissant and the NYC/supreme roll croissants. The almond may have just been an off day. I like the idea of the NYC rolls but the execution here is just not matching with my mental expectation - they are filled with what seems like a buttercream frosting, and it's somewhat cold and hard. Usually the baristas are very friendly and are helpful if you have any menu questions. My last few visits I have been having the problem with getting drinks in a disposable cup even though I order in. If it happens just once I assume it's a mistake and don't let it bother me but it's happened like 3 or 4 times now so I'm starting to get annoyed.

    Amazing coffee. Such unique lattes and matcha. Not only beautiful, but also delicious. And I am very picky with my drinks. Also, very friendly staff.

    I came here for a coffee with my friend after lunch in the neighbourhood. This cafe is highly rated so we gave it a try. They have quite a wide variety of beverages. Now they are promoting their summer sips. I ordered one of them called mango matcha coconut. It was pretty good and very refreshing. It was sweet but not too sweet. My friend ordered an iced oat latte. She loved it so much. The service was good. When we asked the barista questions, she answered them politely. It was our first time visit so the menus, food and beverages were so new to us that we don't even know what to order. They have the regular latte, coffee or tea but of course we wanted to their special beverages. The price was acceptable knowing the special beverages were on the expensive side. They were good so we felt it was worth it. We went on a Saturday but surprisingly the cafe was not too busy. Maybe they need to do some social media posts or more advertising online to get more exposure, so more people know about it.

    Was originally introduced to Lumiere by Yelp Event. I've been grabbing my coffee here several times since. Usually it's a pour over however I was in a rush and went for a regular drip this week. I think Lumiere is my new favourite for drip. 1 star off, mainly as there is no parking in the front and a longer walk from street/parkade.

    I came here twice. It was crowded in the late afternoon with almost all tables occupied. There are outlets by the tables along the walls so you do see people working on their laptops. There is a "wifi" looking button on the long bench and no, it's not wireless charging or anything. I asked and was told it was a lock for the bench. It was a storage bench and staff would need to place the "key" on the button to unlock it. Pretty high tech. Just don't be too curious and try to pry or remove it. In the late afternoon, most of the special pastries were sold out. If you are looking to try the different croissants and NYC supreme and cruffins, it is best to go in the morning, before 8am. The savory items like the salted egg yolk croissant and ham and cheese croissant are sold out first in the morning. So I came back when they opened at 7 am. Everything was available. The baked goods are sourced from local bakeries so everything is fresh in the morning. I tried the ham and cheese croissant, salted egg yolk croissant and ube NYC supreme pastry. I also tried the blackforest mocha frap, tiramisu tea latte and regular coffee. I didn't care much for the tiramisu tea latte as it was too milky for me. The blackforest mocha frap was delightful, chocolate with hint of sour cherry. The medium drip coffee was huge! I didn't expect the big cup. That was pretty good, no acidic aftertaste. Not too strong either. I much prefer the savory food like the ham and cheese croissant. The salted egg yolk croissant was a bit disappointing due to the pasty texture. I was expecting a bit of a runny salted egg yolk when heated up. Either it had cooled again as I didn't eat it immediately or it just would not get to the runny texture. The Ube NYC supreme pastry filling was too sweet for me. It was nice but not overly special though. The staff and owner/manager were very friendly. I liked how you can get cold pressed juice here too. There is a promo of a morning combo of any croissant with coffee for $5.99 before 11 am. It is a good deal for breakfast.

    Dropped by today to check out this place. It's very close to where I work so this might be my usual. Loved the ambiance - clean and modern. Owner is very friendly too. Learned that they opened in February of this year. Target market are office around the Broadway corridor and students. I tried the Black Forest Mocha Frappe and the Salted Egg Yolk Croissant! Lovely Lovely Lovely! The coffee is a new flavor for Thanksgiving, at least that's what I gathered. The croissant has an Asian twist to it. Very yummy indeed. When you're in the area, definitely drop by for coffee and snacks.

    How could I miss this place?? You gotta love that high ceiling upon entrance. From the Stylish and classy set up throughout from a counter with fancy gadgets to the spotless cleanliness, this place speaks elegance for a cafe. Staff is friendly and helpful. I had a iced green tea lemonade to quench my thirst in a calm mild way and it was just right. I might prefer a stronger green tea and linade flavour but the drink is fine. Free wifi makes it a n8ce place to chill. While packed, it was not noisy, probably because of the high ceiling.

    This is a really cute cafe. Not only the decor but you can tell from the comments everyone leaves on the wall that folks love it there. Very friendly staff as well. As for the food and drinks - ok I was in a hurry so I only got some pastries which were good! Fluffy croissant. I'll have to come back to try the drinks.

    Service - friendly and attentive, when we were there some customers asked about their coffee making process and the Staff happily answered all questions Ambiance - very bright and comfortable with lots of tables to work on Food - we tried out the NYC supreme which was filled with matcha cream and tasted delish! It wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be but I would try it again in the ube flavour!

    This airy cafe just opened up and is perfect for a quick bite, catch up with friends or do a little work on your laptop. There's lots of seats and space that's perfect for those with prams. Tried the PBJ cruffin which is a denser croissant. The matcha croissant was airy and light. Not too sweet and perfect balance of pastry to filling.

    Tiramisu cold brew iced coffee
    Bowie T.

    Yelp elite event this week for a drink of choice and pastry offer. Chose the tiramisu cold brew iced coffee and the nyc matcha supreme. Greeted right away, no line up. Looked like some training was going on. A few tables were already occupied by guests. Pros: - Friendly staff and seemed pretty laid back. - Drink was good and tasted more chocolate-ly than tiramisu-like - NYC supreme matcha was pretty yummy, super creamy filling Notes: - A lil chaotic around the cambie/Broadway with the construction lately so parking may take a little longer - Pastry selection is on the smaller side (maybe they sold out?) - Breakfast combo of coffee and croissant $6 - Need a key for the single bathroom

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.

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.

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!
