    SLO café was definitely interesting! It was a smaller café with lots of seating that discouraged laptops. They had an extremely limited food menu, but more on the coffee side. The food menu was interesting, but was all premade. For example, with the breakfast sandwiches you could not custom order. This is unfortunate for someone who is a vegetarian and doesn't want bacon on their sandwich. It was interesting that they were premade and still took about 10 minutes to come out! Other cafés in the area, would definitely try them before returning.

    Nice calm atmosphere with lime wash walls and minimalistic vibes. The pistachio latte is good but a tad sweet for my preferred no sweetener matcha. You definitely need to mix it before as the pistachio syrup is on the bottom. The pour over tasted good but a tab bit over extracted and bitter for what it should be. Nice friendly service. Not bad for the drinks, but wouldn't come out of my way to come here.

    Pistachio Matcha Latte!

    Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and really high-quality ingredients in these creative drinks! I'm a big fan of the minimalist environment for sipping my hojicha lattes.

    Sundried tomato ricotta toast, matcha basque cheesecake, iced hojicha with pandan cream

    I had high expectations for this place and was not let down! I ordered a sundried tomato (vegan) ricotta toast, a slice of matcha basque cheesecake, and an iced hojicha with pandan cream. The vegan "ricotta" spread on the toast was very good, with a similar flavour and consistency to hummus. Topped with juicy roasted red pepper, lots of arugula, and hemp crumble. I always appreciate a vegan option that's a little creative. The cheesecake was creamy with just the right amount of matcha, which works really well with the burnt exterior. The iced hojicha with pandan was very interesting! Honestly, I would never have thought to pair hojicha with pandan even though I really like them both, but it worked really well! I felt like the pandan brought out the more floral/herbal notes of the hojicha. The vibe was excellent - the barista that took my order was so friendly! As many before me have pointed out, the design is very interesting with the curved ceiling. The choice of furniture and layout also gives the place a really cool and unique look. I got a comfortable chair in an alcove by the window.

    Nice hipster themed coffee place on Main. Parking is available on the side streets. The place has a very unique interior, with the curved ceiling. Almost feels like a retro spaceport or something out of Star Wars. There is a booth in the middle, and some tables. To be honest, there isn't quite enough seating. Also most of the tables seem to be meant for 2 people only. Something to keep in mind. There are also some benches outside. Staff are friendly. As of the time of writing, they don't take cash, so be sure to have a card handy. I thought the coffee was decent, but my (coffee) snob friends mentioned it was watered down. They also have cucumber water here, which is nice and refreshing. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though I'd avoid the peak hours if possible.

    Breakfast Sando
    Stephanie M.

    We came on a Saturday at 9am and there were some empty seats available. I got the breakfast sando ($8.75) and the cappuccino ($5). The breakfast sando was enough for me for breakfast but for bigger eaters they might find it small. It has an Ancho sauce in it that tastes like one of the wraps from Tim Hortons. The cappuccino was okay. The bubbles disappeared quite quickly. Taste wise it was not bad but I wouldn't order it again. I saw a lot of people ordering the matcha drinks. Maybe those are better. I'll try it next time

    Matcha Pistachio Latte This was very good! I was surprised at how well the nuttiness of the pistachio paired with the matcha. Personally it's not my favourite flavour combo but it was done very well! The place is very cute but there is limited seating and also a sign that says limited for one hour of seating. I think this is because it's relatively new and very popular. My friend accidentally spilt her drink and the staff made her a new one which was incredibly kind of them. The service was even though it was busy so props to the team!

    This place is exactly what this area needs: a nice coffee shop to meet a friend or business associate with a vibe unlike any other. The arched ceilings make it feel like a star wars set yet its not too loud or echo-y inside. We got the breakfast sandwich, pistachio toast, cappucino and matcha latte. Everything was great but prices are a tad on the higher side for this neighborhood. We would get everything again but are also open to try other things on their limited menu. Service was excellent. You can tell the workers are passionate about coffee and the space. There were neat seating nooks all around and a small offering of items to purchase. Definitely a place to check out.

    Really cute coffee shop with one of the best matcha lattes I've had! It has a chic interior that kind of looks like the Star Wars bar. Lots of seating around, though it gets busy on the weekend. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely go again!

    Interior is beautiful! Reminds me of cafes in LA. The cranberry matcha was surprisingly really good!

    Hojicha latte and Matcha latte

    I've been here twice and my favourite is their Iced Matcha Pistachio latte. It's a nice hangout place if you could find a table. It seems to be always busy on the weekends but service is quick. There's lots of street parking nearby too.

    We finally got to try out Slo Coffee and surprisingly despite going on a weekend afternoon, there was no lineup and not too bad of a wait. There is a decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors and I absolutely loved the vibes of this cute cafe. They also have a small selection of books from Nooroongji Books from Granville Island which is one of my absolute favourite bookstores! We got a cappuccino and a hibiscus and mango ice tea and both were quite delicious. They both had good flavour and the ice tea specifically was not too sweet. Highly recommend this place and cannot wait to be back to try some of their food options. Definitely a reminder to slow down in life.

    Beautiful, clean, spacious cafe that has a minimalist look. Some establishments are uncomfortable prioritizing appearance over functionality, but this cafe did a good job maximizing the seating space with nice furniture for chatting or working (some tables are marked as no laptop allowed). They have limewashed ceilings and a central island for baristas to make the drinks which makes it relaxing to just sit and watch things happen! They use Modbar under the counter espresso machines which add to the minimalist look. The drinks were decent-I do think the matcha latte could be stronger, but it had a good umami aroma that quality matchas have. The cup size compared to other cafes is smaller too. The bakery items were pricey for the amount, particularly the sweet sourdough toast. It had depth of flavour from the elevated ingredients but ultimately tasted like a nut butter+jam toast. The menu listed mango jam but they used a blueberry jam, changing as necessary seasonally. The cheese scone, ham+cheese croissant, and cookie were all standard.

They were showing each other the flavors, and shapes, and designs. Sweet plus savory. Cutting them in half and sharing. It was the least we could do to bring these high quality goodies, made by high quality bakers, to these high quality nurses in the cardiac unit for my mother-in-law. We were so impressed with the staff at L'atelier. They know their stuff and their recommendations are top notch. The bakery itself is so cute and modern and fun. I loved that you could sit outside even in the rain because they have stellar permanent awnings.

    French bakery on Broadway with lovely interior and good coffee…read more We tried the canelé, which I think is one of the best indicators of a French bakery's pastry skills. Unfortunately, this one was a bit disappointing. The interior was overly moist, the caramelized crust lacked the crispness I was hoping for, and the honeycomb structure wasn't very well developed. Overall, it was just average. We also ordered the Strawberry Pistachio Tart. The strawberries were fresh with a nice balance of sweetness, and there was a good amount of pistachio chunks. However, it lacked the layers of flavor that make a tart memorable. On the bright side, the coffee was excellent and easily my favorite part of the visit. I'd happily come back for a coffee, but I'd probably try different pastries next time.

Designed in classic - and classy - French cafe style, you know you're walking into something meaningful. You're first greeted by shelves of French products. Lots of olives.

We came for bread and pastries so we simply bought pain du jour apple and walnut, two danishes and a latte. (I personally think they should change it to French with cafe au lait.

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by shelves stocked with French jams and a variety of imported products for sale, which adds to the authentic feel. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a café, featuring quiches, sandwiches, and other items made fresh to order. We kept it simple and ordered lattes along with two Danish pastries. Everything was delicious, especially the pastries topped with fresh fruit. The vintage paintings on the walls and soft French music create a warm, relaxing atmosphere. This is easily one of the best French bakeries I've visited.

Parking is available on the side streets. The place has that bare modern hipster look, with concrete floors, high ceilings, and white tiles. Tables are of the old vintage wood type. Metal chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job. Seating is adequate. There is a hidden section with more seats tucked away in the far corner. Layout is a bit strange in this respect. Staff are friendly. No complaints. Coffee is pretty decent. The place also has brunch and sandwich options, but I didn't try this time.

There were lots of free spots available during the early afternoon mid-week (which is rare for most Vancouver cafes) and there's even a little nook in the back with a big table that's great for co working! We opted to sit in the front which was perfect because it had outlets and pretty good wifi. As for service, the staff were all super attentive and friendly so can't ask for anything else here! While the drinks we got were good, the food was a little lacking to me - I got the Margherita croissant which had no taste and was just an oily mess - but perhaps I just got the wrong thing. I'd try something else next time!

    I visited Whisk Matcha cafe for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival special item…read more What I got: Matcha no Haru Parfait Plant-based spring parfait with housemade strawberry jelly, coconut condensed milk, strawberry whip, matcha rice crispy squares, and matcha & sakura soft serve. Topped with a hand-piped sakura flower by Megu of M Tokyo Confectionery. I just want to say... It was sooo good! Matcha vanilla soft serve's matcha flavor was strong, very soft and creamy and so delicious. Then, Matcha rice crispy squares paired with soft serve so well. I could not really taste matcha from rice crispy, may be because I mixed with soft serve. And there were strawberry jelly, strawberry puree, and strawberry whip at the bottom. When I mixed together with soft serve and rice crispy, It is so addictive. This item was definitely one of the best item at this festival in 2026. Presentation was so beautiful. I really want to get it again. As usual , owner was very friendly and provided nice service, however, one staff attitude was not really pleasant.

Unfortunately, the drink itself was quite disappointing. Since it's vegan, it was made with coconut cream instead of dairy, but the overall flavor was light and bland. The coconut foam didn't add much richness, and for a $9.50 drink, it felt underwhelming. It reminded me more of wheatgrass than matcha. I've had Whisk's matcha chocolate drink during hot chocolate festival before, and actually enjoyed them. Maybe will come again for their regular matcha drink.
