    the interior is bright and minimalist, white walls, natural light pouring through big front windows, and exposed brick
    Nat L.

    walking to saunter might feel a little daunting at first, west pender street has its rough patches, but step inside and it's like crossing into a completely different world. bright white walls, natural light flooding through oversized windows, a touch of greenery, and exposed brick give the space a minimalist, calming vibe. it's stylish but not pretentious, the kind of spot that feels thoughtfully designed yet approachable. the real gem though is the courtyard out back. framed by tall brick walls with just a sliver of sky overhead, it feels like a low key urban oasis. a couple of chairs and simple bench seating make it the coveted hangout of choice (seats about six comfortably) and is the perfect setting for when you need a quick escape with your drink and bestie. my iced strawberry oat milk matcha looked pretty with layers of blush pink housemade strawberry sauce and earthy green yame h25 matcha, and generously sprinkled with freeze dried strawberry bits for added texture and flavour. the housemade strawberry adds a gentle sweetness that softens the depth of the matcha, while the oat milk ties it all together with a smooth creaminess. their summer menu (running through september 15th) offers playful seasonal drinks, and there's a small case of baked goods for anyone who wants a bite with their latte. they've also got a little shelf of merch, tshirts, water bottles and minimal pieces that match the café's clean aesthetic, a nice touch if you want to bring home a souvenir, a little something something to remind you of your visit. baristas are welcoming, which eases that initial hesitation about the neighbourhood. will be back to try their other offerings.

    Great ambiance, but limited seating space. The staff were also incredibly kind and patient. I didn't get a chance to try their coffee, which is what they're known for so I'll definitely have to go back for that. My experience this time would be 3.5/5. I got their strawberry milk matcha. A large (which is really just reshapes size at other places) is $10 after tax and tips. I find that a bit too pricy even for today's market. Granted, i know their strawberry milk is made from real strawberries. I think the strawberry definitely overpowered the taste of the matcha. It seemed very popular and what majority of the people were ordering there. Overall, it wasn't bad. But I didn't order even or stay long enough to warrant an accurate general rating-- this is for this experience only.

    A cute coffee shop located in Downtown Vancouver. We're still raving about how good their specialty cold brew was months after our trip. The cafe doesn't have many tables, but it offers plenty of seatings with benches next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and an outdoor seating area. Restroom available. *Tiramisu Cold Brew, Salted Caramel Cold Brew I personally prefer the salted caramel one a little bit more -- it's a savory-meets-sweet coffee with the sea salt caramel cold foam. Opt for the larger cup size and you won't regret it. Both specialty coffee wasn't too sweet. A good balance between the bitterness of cold brew and sweetness from the cream foam. *Croissant So flaky and buttery. Didn't expect to get croissants of really good quality at a coffee shop so it surprised me. We were lucky to grab the last croissant from their pastry shelf.

    I stumbled across this cafe on my way to nemesis to kill off some time before meeting someone at the convention centre, and I'm glad I did. They sell a variety of pastries and drinks. The strawberry matcha I ordered was delicious and perfectly sweet. They used strawberry milk (i think?) instead of the typically strawberry jam. I ended up staying for a bit to read my book and I love that it is so much quieter than nemesis around the corner. Such a cute spot and would definitely come back to try other stuff on their display/menu!

    The interior is pretty and calming. They've got big windows with natural lighting. The drinks are good too, but there are limited seatings available since it's not a big place. I think the hojicha latte my friend got would be a better option. If you're here for the matcha, there are better places to get it from.

    Lovely spot for coffee. Great ambience and service. Enjoyed my americano and chocolate chip cookie. Moist, flavourful, good amount of sea salt on top.

    Omg this cafe is one of the best I have tried in Vancouver. Their iced strawberry matcha latte is amazing! And the coffee tastes so good. I will definitely come back !

One thing noticeable about this restaurant is the lacking of plates. They used majority of their plates to serve the food on. However the food were served as finger foods and we were expected to hold our food in our hand. Somewhat strange. They also ran out of glasses during the party. The bartender couldn't even keep up with our drinks. Anyways other than the above. The event was a great event. I got the opportunity to try all four of their mocktails: - Blueberry Basil Lemonade - Mango Lavender Lemonade - Minty-Berry Sour - Pear Lavender Sour All their drinks were very fancy prepared and my favorite are the Minty-Berry Sour and the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I also found that there is some inconsistency in the glass they serve it out of. The food was delicious as mentioned before. My favorite out of their finger foods were the grill cheese brisket. OMG that was really good. The other memorable items are the porkbelly and fried chicken. I think the fried chicken is one of their popular items on the menu served during brunch. The cheesecake at the end I got was very soft but flavorful. The cheeseburger slider was really good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor of the place was nice. The restaurant is very small. Because we were over 100 people, there was a wait for the 3 stalls in the bathroom. There was not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. I think the restaurant can comfortably maybe accommodate around 40 or 50 guests max. I will definitely be back again someday to try their brunch menu.

According to the website, this chain is named after the owner's golden retriever. It sure looks happy. Parking is available in front of the building, as well as along various village side streets.

Staff are friendly and cheerful. No complaints. The doughnuts are a bit pricey but they sure are delicious. I really like "Asian" style doughnuts as they are less sweet than their western counterparts. I had the matcha cream and could definitely taste the matcha.

We were in the mood for a great cup of coffee with some sweets on a nice Fall day in beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Not only did it not hit the spot, but we couldn't have gotten out of there quicker. Very Disappointing. The Golden Retriever Logo was cute though.

Seating ranges from bar table, picnic benches, lawn chairs, and small tables. We waited about 25 to 30 mins for our food, which felt on the long side of things. The bun was soft and moist. The burger itself was good, but nothing special. Their marshmallow latte just tasted like regular coffee with sweetener. We expected toasted marshmallow on top of the actual drink, so we were left disappointed. Something that I found to be inconvenient was that you had to order your burger at one section and order your drink at another. Making clients line up twice is an inconvenience. One upside is that they have dog friendly seating.
