What a hidden gem on the E. Hastings strip. Pennyroyal Coffee is a simple yet classy cafe. The…read morefacade is very clean and proper, as is the inside. The interior is well laid out with stool window seats, small tables along the walls, and a gorgeous wooden table at the end. The walls are professionally decorated with framed shots by local photographers. On to the star of the show...the coffee. I started with shot of potent espresso topped with oat milk. What a heavenly combo that was! I took the time to slowly savour each sip. They're not just about coffee, despite the name. The Jasmine loose leaf tea is very fragrant and provides a very nice alternative to those who prefer tea. Feeling a bit hungry, I added an almond croissant produced by a local bakery nearby. I love how this indie is supporting his own local businesses. Better yet, the croissant was sooooo nice right to the last bite....and of course, I scraped up all the crumbs and enjoyed that just as much. Lastly, the owner who took over the shop this summer is a gentleman. He knows his coffee!! I hope everyone in the area will keep supporting the Indies.

I always look for awesome coffee wherever I travel and so far I have not found great coffee in Vancouver. I always get a plain latte so I can taste the coffee well. The coffee was very bitter, although not as bad as a couple other places I've tried here in Vancouver. So if you are looking for a flavorful and robust coffee, this is not the place.

It is a small space, but full of personality and charm. We ordered a Matcha Latte ($7), Japanese Latte ($7), and Matcha & Black Sesame Moffin ($1.50/each). I personally enjoy my matcha unsweetened so I loved that this one was served without sweeteners, and the matcha is lighter bodied with earthy flavours. The Japanese latte is made with coffee beans from Japan, and I'm not a coffee drinker usually so I can't comment much other than the fact it tasted mellow but had depth. The mochi muffins were not too sweet and deliciously chewy! I'd love to come back to try their hojicha latte!

Four other people who came in (two groups of two) got their drinks orders before we did, which I thought was pretty rude seeing as there were two baristas behind the counter. The tiramisu tasted old -- the outer chocolate layer was hard and didn't taste like much, and the inside was dry and crumbly. A far cry from the creamy tiramisu I had elsewhere. I don't know if we were just unlucky because, judging by other reviews, the food is supposed to be good. My cappuccino tasted watered-down and my partner tells me their flat white wasn't much better. The ambiance is lovely, sure, but the food and drinks were nothing to write home about. We won't be back.

I ended up getting a breakfast cookie and a London fog, both of which were great. The London fog used stone-ground tea which made it nice and strong. Even though it was pretty sweet, it was balanced with the tea. The breakfast cookie tasted a little like banana with lots of walnut pieces and dried fruit. Very soft. The cafe had a calm and almost intimate atmosphere. The design feels down to earth.
