    === Overall === A beautiful, trendy place to get matcha and small bites. My favorite cafe in North America to date. === Food === I ordered an iced pineapple matcha with oat milk which was mind blowing. My family got a hot matcha and an americano which they both said was great. The matcha was well presented and had perfect ratios - the color was vibrant and you couldn't taste the milk or water at all, it was so so good. I also ordered the caprese toast and it was probably the best caprese I've had, tied with Oven & Shaker in Portland when they had it on the menu. My family got the overnight oats and a croissant and said those were both good, but I think the caprese was the standout. === Service === I went on a holiday so there was a long line out the door but we still managed to snag a seat at the front. Food and drink didn't take that long. Friendly service, although they had pineapple matcha written with dry erase marker on their menu and when I asked for it they said it wasn't on the menu (but luckily they still had it). === Ambiance === Parking might be a little hard but the interior is very beautiful and they have a separate section for those who want to use their laptops and not. They ask that you use your laptop for a maximum of an hour.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Latte

    Slo Coffee is a wonderful new addition to the Vancouver coffee scene. It's clear that they are passionate about their craft. Their Latte, made using medium-roast beans roasted in house, was packed with delightful fruity and balanced flavors. The Bacon Breakfast Sando, similarly, had care put into every bite. The cafe is located in a very spacious space with a good amount of seating. The staff were also polite and all seemed really excited to be there! I had an amazing experience on my first visit and will definitely be back again very soon.

It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.

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.

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.

I tried the croissant and the cinnamon style pastry and both were baked very well.

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.

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!
