What I ordered: - oat latte - drip coffee - crinkle cookie - butter croissant highlights: I was very pleasantly surprised with their oat latte. It's very light, slightly acrid, and highly recommend because it didn't leave me feeling heavy in my stomach unlike some oat lattes do. I loved the croissant. It was crispy on the outside (but not crunchy), soft on the inside, with a lovely butter flavour. (Pro tip) dip your butter croissant in the last 1/4 of your latte iykyk study/work space: 4.5/5 They have seating space in the back which was bright and clean. The atmosphere is relatively quiet and super pleasant. Truth be told, I completely forgot that I was on such a busy street!

I viited Lumine coffee to try Nomsmag cherry blossom festival items. What I got: Matcha Strawberry Cube Croissant Crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside. Signature flaky pastry with a vibrant center of whipped matcha cream layered over tangy strawberry jam, finished with a fresh strawberry and matcha dusting. Dough was very crispy outside just like they described signature flaky pastry. And whipped matcha cream had strong matcha flavor, very creamy and not overly sweet. So, it paired with strawberry jam so well. Strawberry jam had well-balanced tangy and sweet flavors, I really liked it. I highly recommend this item! Service was very good and friendly read more

Great cafe in Kitsilano! Their strawberry matcha cube croissant is incredible. The flavor of the matcha filling is strong and the fruity strawberry jam complements it perfectly. I would come back for both coffee and pastries. read more

First time trying this place and I thought the drinks were fantastic. I got an iced americano and my partner got the cortado, both were made very well! The staff are super friendly and chatty here which I enjoyed, and the desserts/baked goods in the casing looked amazing. I also saw they had matcha and espresso tonics on their menu which I will be trying on my next visit. read more

Lumine Coffee - Flat white - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

So far our best food/drink experience on our Vancouver trip! This place looks to be small up front but there is a whole seating area in the back. Very aesthetically pleasing, loved the lighting fixtures in the back. The genmaicha caught my eye as I had never heard of it and had to look it up. Sounded delicious, I got the genmaicha latte with oat milk and simple syrup, hot. It was so delicious. Perfect temp, flavor was delicious. My husband enjoyed his iced caramel latte. The butter croissant was massive and the yuzu lemon meringue croissant was so unique and delicious (and messy). Really cool coffee shop with unique options, glad we had the chance to try it! Baristas were nice and helpful as well! read more

Tiny cafe on West 4th close to many other shops. They had a line out the door on a Saturday morning offering a large selection of pastries and drinks. We tried a few of their baked goods including the almond croissant, ham and cheese croissant and their yuzu lemon cruffin. All of these were DELICIOUS with an amazing crunch at each bite and a not too sweet filling for the sweet choices. One of the best almond croissants and laminated pastries I've had! As for drinks, I found my genmaicha latte a bit light on the tea taste but my friend really enjoyed the iced latte. The space itself is a bit small for a seated coffee date experience but there is some hidden seating around the corner! read more

The atmosphere and food here are great; if the service were just a little more attentive, it would be perfect

Iced coffe was delicious but I have to say the Kouign-amann was a fraction of the size I've purchased it in just about every place that sells it, which is sad it being a not so expensive item read more

One of the few cafes that offer drip flight (at reasonable price too!). Love the wide variety of coffee they serve and imo one of the best coffee places in town. Barista was super helpful and knows how to brew good coffee. This place does get filled up super fast by wfc people. Would recommend arriving earlier if you'd like to dine in. They do have a back patio that's open during warmer weather though. I also got an almond croissant ($7.5). I have slight mixed filling about this croissant. It's very flat and thus not as flaky as I'd like them to be, however I really enjoy how rich the almond filling was. Overall, really enjoyable experience and would go back to try their banana hazelnut croissant. read more

I randomly stopped here to refuel after an intense workout at Pure Barre a few doors down. So glad I did as the flat white is really good here! I can usually tell if the drink is going to be good by the steamed milk being poured into the espresso. If the milk texture is watery, it's gonna be like a latte. If it's a bit firm or thick, you can usually still see the art work left on the mug after drinking it all. The crema is a bit too strong for me here but the texture and taste are still good. Another surprise was the croissant. I had the double baked bourbon caramel pecan croissant and it was amazing! It was lightly crispy and flakey. So you can hear the crunch when you bite into it. The filling was sweet but not sickly so. It's seriously good! It may look small with limited seating but there is lots more tables at the back. I love the washroom door which kinda blends into the wall furnishings. I'll definitely stop here for coffee and more pastries when I'm in this area. read more

Cocoa Honey Espresso This was so delicious and fragrant! You can really taste the honey blended with the espresso. I was surprised at how fragrant it was! Its almost subtle if you don't realize it but once you do its amazing. The drink itself is actually a frappe (meaning its an iced drink) but you can ask for it hot which is what I did! I almost wonder what it tastes like cold. I felt that once the drink cooled down, it felt a little too sweet for me at the end However I do recommend you try this drink if you love honey and coffee or have a sweet tooth. Ps the customer after me ordered the same thing too! I think this drink is unique, I've always heard about honey and coffee but never found the right place to try it. Overall, I think Lumine coffee has become my favourite go-to coffee shop! read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon. Not too busy in the back of plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's a bathroom and free wifi. Line moved fast and drinks are made pretty quickly. The interior is super cute. There are outlets against the walls and on the big pole. Got a chocolate croissant and it was really crumbly and yummy. The iced matcha latte is also good. I would come back! read more

Oh my god YUM!!!!! It's been a joke for a little while to find the best almond croissant in Vancouver. This is because our friend swears San Francisco has the best almond croissants in the world. Well... I think we have found the best almond croissant in Vancouver. It wasn't as buttery as the San Francisco croissant, but the almond paste inside hits the spot in every way, and the flakiness of the croissant is fabulous. My husband and I got a latte and a mocha this morning and he really enjoyed his latte and I enjoyed my mocha. There was only one person working, but he was very attentive despite the growing line. Our drinks were made perfectly. We didn't check out the backside of this coffee shop, but I've heard there is an amazing amount of seating, and seems like a really great place to relax, read a book or work. I'm sure you can also enjoy a coffee and chat with a friend as well. We will definitely be back as we saw some really amazing Flavoured croissants that we've never even thought of. read more

This is a small but evidently popular coffee shop that also makes their own baked goods! I was there on a Sunday around noon which is probably the peak time and it was super busy, but I did manage to grab a table. There was a long line but it moved at a reasonable pace and the two baristas were friendly and seemed like they were still being careful with each drink. I didn't try the coffee myself, but I got the impression that they really know their coffee here. They have a wide selection of coffee/tea drinks (I was excited because they had not only matcha lattes, but also hojicha and genmaicha) and baked goods, and a few sandwiches, one meat and one vegetarian. A few of the baked goods are vegan but nothing vegan and savoury. I got the sun-dried tomato caprese focaccia sandwich, a chou au craquelin, and an iced genmaicha latte. The sandwich was good with fresh focaccia and lots of mozzarella. I really liked the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes which added a pop of flavour. It was a little too oily for me, though. I loved the chou au craquelin! The texture of the crunchy pastry with the smooth cream inside was a delight, and the pastry cream had such a nice flavour with real vanilla bean. The genmaicha was great too. There's a nice atmosphere both in the cafe and outside on the patio, making it a great spot for a relaxed light meal or snack. read more

I was in the neighbourhood, so I could get a chance to try the coffee at Lumine Coffee. It's always on my to-try list. The signage on W4th is nice and clean. The front of the coffee shop only has a few seats. There are some outdoor seatings outside the coffee shop. Basically, once guests step into the coffee shop, it is the counter or cashier. Once guests have placed an order, they have to walk aside and wait for the beverages and/or food. The most awesome part is the majority of the seats are behind the coffee shop. I love their interior design. Each wall, lights, furniture selection, colours, tone, and etc give the coffee shop a very nice, warm and cozy look and feel. When it's summer time, guests can open the patio doors, enjoy the outdoor space inside the coffee shop. It is facing a courtyard of the complex. If you are not sure what I am talking about, go check it out. It's quite cool. The coffee beverage pricing is affordable. I personally feel the pastries are a bit overpriced but that's okay as long as the coffee beverages are excellent. The coffee shop is on busy W4th. It's better for guests to walk to it instead of driving and parking there. read more

Nice hipster coffee shop with good espresso tonics and pours. Seating is pretty limited but probably better when it's warmer and seating outside is more of an option. It would be cool if they had heaters outside. Great and friendly baristas. I found them to really love their craft. Wi-Fi and plugs throughout the building. Many people clearly on dates or meetings. If you're in the area definitely stop by. read more

Nice chill place to sit at and read! They don't seem to have much space from the front, but they do have a little nook at the back with like 4 tables. Nice, secluded, and quiet.

Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Overall: 5/5 Such a cute gem in the kits neighbourhood! This cafe opened a couple of months ago and isn't just adorable but the pastries are delicious as well! I didn't try any of the drinks so can't comment on those but I tried 4 pastries: Almond Croissant, Banana Hazelnut Croissant, Morning Glory Muffin, and the Oatmeal Raisin cookie - all were absolutely delicious with the almond croissant and muffin being my favourites I came quite late in the day and the staff was super nice and chatty as well! I would definitely come back to try a drink and other pastries. Note that the cafe doesn't have a sign out front and is tucked slightly above street level so use Google to find it if you can't spot it! read more

I've rave about this place way too much that my friend bought me their pastry the other day! The chocolate croissant was heavenly - crispy and flaky pastry with quality chocolate filling. And, my goodness, if you pay close attention, the ginger cookie has tiny pieces of real ginger in it. They clearly do not skimp on the ingredients. Lumine coffee, this is why you have the best pastry in town! I forgot to mention in my last review that this place operates till 6pm on weekdays, which is rare for local cafes, but would be perfect for my need since I tend to work later into the day and then head straight off for my evening plans. read more

The service was OK. I thought that the POS system didn't even give you an option for percentage for tipping but instead asked for $1.00 - $3.00 increments thought that was kind of strange being that the coffee cost at least four bucks for a small the place was mid to say the least it was very "uncomfortable". All of the stools had no backing. Most of the seating is in the back of the café where there's only one seating inside in the front. The service was also mediocre to say the least you can feel the expectation of the tip that they wanted at the point of sale. I probably would never go back here. I only went there because it was in proximity to the bus stop across the street otherwise I search for a better cafe where you can sit down actually enjoy your cofee l! read more

My friend and I took a long stroll and we ended up in this neighborhood. It was a hot day and we wanted something cold to drink, so we stopped by Barrio Coffee. We were initially planning to go to the boba shop across the street, but Barrio looked nicer (more seats and cool vibes) we decided to come here instead. I'm glad we did! I had an iced matcha latte and almond croissant. The pastries all looked really good, and almond croissant was one of the best I've had. They had some more pastries resting on the baking pan rack, so it looked like they bake their pastries in-house - very nice! Matcha latte was smooth throughout and delicious. The environment - many seats but well spaced out, clean bathroom, air conditioned, and I appreciated seeing well-maintained plants. I'm used to the overpriced Seattle coffee shops, so this was a really nice change of pace. I wish I have easy access to this coffee shop. read more

Nice place. Have had better Americano which lacked that creamy foam and smoothness. There was a slightly bitter aftertaste each sip. I didn't enjoy it and could not return it as I taken it to go. Maybe I was just unlucky with the barista that made my drink. read more

New coffee shop in town! Decided to check out Lumine Coffee out at West 4th Ave. They were a little difficult to find because there is no sign at the front of their location. But eventually did find it. Staff was nice. When I went there, however, it seemed like the were still being trained. All good. Just something I noticed the day I went. Location is nice around West 4th. But as always around this area. Free Parking is always an issue. It's hard to find the two hour time slots because everyone seems to already have taken them. There's definitely street parking. And paid parking around the area isn't too hard to find. You can take transit. But it's probably not as convenient as just driving there. The ambiance was nice. There's one sma table at the front where they make coffee and stuff. I found that the smaller tabled were too small. They had two chairs but I found it difficult to imagine putting two laptops on the table. The surface of the tables just seemed a little smaller. Now the larger tables were fine. Plenty of space. Though I found that one person could sit on a larger table comfortably. But if you had 2-3 people on the table already. Best to find another place to sit down. Speaking of finding another table to sit down at. There isn't a ton of room. Lumine is a nice and petite place. But there isn't a lot of tables and not a lot of places to sit and do your work. Unless you're okay with rubbing shoulders with others close to you. If you are, all good! Cost - it's about the same as many other coffee shops around the city. If you got a baked good and a regular drip coffee. It'll cost you about $8-$10. If you get something a little fancier. It'll cost a little more of course. It's a small coffee shop. Worth checking out. There's free WiFi! So that's awesome. And the staff, at least when I went, was friendly. Great service and decent cost always gets people coming back. Keep it up Lumine! And welcome to the neighbourhood. read more

Convenient 4th Avenue location between burrard and arbutus. Modern, chic decor that is the perfectly accessorized with premium roasted coffee and pastries.

Coffee has a unique flavour of custom blending with a hint of something extra. Food was flavourful and sized well for the price. Overall review 4.5 The interior and exterior was SPOTLESS!

We tried two pour overs yesterday, with Ecuador n Colombia beans. They were both very interesting especially we could compare them alongside one another. Service was also swift n friendly ^^ AND the almond croissant!! Must never forget their almond croissants! I'm never keen on them but the reviews are so true! it was not too sweet, and indeed very crispy! It's just yum! The only down side is that seating can be tight. Will go back for their beans though. read more

This is a little gem that would be easy to miss among all the trendy coffee shops in Kits. What sets Lumine apart are really creative specialty croissants (think works of art like passionfruit coconut or apple pie and sponge toffee) and the friendliest-ever counter staff. The coffee is good too. We found out about Lumine because they participated in a city-wide croissant festival and they had a croissant that sounded appealing, and we've kept coming back for because of the friendly vibe. Lumine has a neighbourly feeling in a city that can feel a bit impersonal. read more

The best cafe for croissants and coffee in Kitsilano! Each croissant is perfectly flakey, airy, crispy, soft and fun of flavor!

Best croissants on earth! Oh I have had many croissants before (being from Europe (Germany) where pastry is basically our day-to-day business). Lumine coffee has the most delicious croissants they are light, they are crispy and they are unique! I love the filling options: can't go wrong with classic chocolate but also their unique coconut passionfruit filling is perfect during summer. The chocolate cookies are great as well (a bit on the sweeter side though). The matcha is great and they serve it in a nice big glass! The place has a minimalistic interior - modern and clean. A Patio is very welcoming as well. Service: top, wifi: top, music: top; can't complain. Oh they do have great coffee with different vegan milk options (soy, almond, oat and coconut) read more
