Found this cute little coffee shop tucked away in a little corner of Burnaby and we were delighted…read moreto be welcomed with such warm hospitality, tasty drinks and treats. 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!

I guess barista did not add too much sugar, however, I did not need it. Houjicha flavor was was very bold and strong, and paired with milk so well. I really enjoyed houjicha itself, no sugar necessary. It really reminds me of houjicha latte in Japan. Barista was Japanese lady. very friendly and nice. I was very impressed and definitely want to go back the shop as soon as I can. I want to try their baking goods next time.

I got the Basted Baker Hash with Salmon added to it. B got the beef roll. B said the beef roll was super tasty and flavorful. I really liked my Based Baker Hash. It was a very big bowl with potato hash, spinach, onion, mushroom, pepper, avocado, salmon and a poach egg. The place makes its own ketchup in house. They also sell their ketchup in a bottle for take home. The restaurant looks small but they do have a patio area in the back. Plenty of free parking on the street or at the back.

Quick service, yummy carrot cake, great brekkie options in a casual cafe setting…read more Sweet or savoury, basted baker's got your back. Ordered the pulled pork benny and carrot cake. Benny butter biscuit was delish, but pulled pork and the sauce was a bit too heavy on the sour notes (bbq flavours) for my liking. Poached eggs without sauce had a noticeable hint of vinegar as well, but reasonable enough considering the nice texture of eggs. Carrot cake was a perfect texture mix of carrot shreds and nuttiness. Paired with a generous piping of cream cheese icing was a perfect way to end brunch and fuel my day. I'm a fan!

Firstly, there is parking, just be mindful and respectful to those spots that are reserved for other businesses. Once inside you're greeted by the friendly staff. The menu consists of Mexican favourites as well classic north Canadian eats. Do check out their daily specials too while you're there. There is quite a number of tables so if you have a large group I'm sure they can accommodate. We ended up ordering asada quesadilla, comes with pico de gallo, sour cream and a spicy salsa $20. Iced cafe mocha $6 Iced Spanish latte $6 Coffee was fantastic and the quesadilla was good. I saw some people order the breakfast which looked fantastic! That will definitely be my next order! Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything your order there. Go support this small business and enjoy the food!

Mercedes-Benz (or are they referring to the drug? I kid) themed coffee shop in Burnaby Heights,…read moreacross the street from Safeway. Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. The interior is pretty neat. They have seats made out of parts of cars, and even the front counter is half of an old school SL. Lots of classic car parts on the walls. Staff are friendly and chatty. No problems there. The coffee selection is pretty decent. They also have cold (sweet) drinks. I had the V12 latte. They put a neat little teddy bear in the foam. Would've been cooler if they put a MB logo instead, but all good. The only complaint is that the car themed couches and regular couches are at different heights. So my friend and I were looking up and down at each other. Wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the car themed ambience and maybe try a pastry.

My husband always gets a Spanish latte (even though it's not on the menu), and the staff graciously make it for him every time. That kind of personalized service really speaks to how kind and welcoming they are. The service is hands down the best -- warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The owner is lovely too, always kind and genuinely happy to see customers. Also, shoutout to their buttery croissant -- flaky, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We're so glad they're open later now. It's the perfect spot for a cozy evening coffee. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates good coffee and even better vibes!

They have 4.9 stars on Google which drew us here, however it's more of a convenience store with…read moremicrowaved food rather than a restaurant. They sell a bunch of Brazilian snacks but overall the inside of the store looked worn out. We came in on a Sunday morning and no one was at the front. I rang the bell and a young girl came to take our order. She was sweet but looked very stressed. She ran to the back and was on the phone with her boss frantically asking for help. She then came running out and told us it'll be a wait because she needs to get a big order out. I replied no problem and went to grab a seat. After awhile I rang the bell again and asked for a refund and said I would return another time. The girl said she could make the food now. The next few minutes all we heard was the microwave constantly going off and it was clear nothing was made fresh. Feijoada: apparently this is their most popular dish and I liked the vibrant colours. However the pork was overcooked and nothing tasted fresh except for the slice of orange. Strogonoff: the creamy sauce was not bad but it was so salty we were really thirsty after. The chicken was overcooked. Coxinha: I was excited to try tradition Brazilian croquettes but these were clearly frozen and again didn't taste fresh.

Brazilian cafe and takeout restaurant on Edmonds…read more Parking is available on the side streets. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. It looked like a coffee shop with their drinks and cakes, but also serves some Brazilian staples (feijoada, coxinha etc.). The theme is definitely on the casual side. There is a nice small covered patio in front. My biggest complaint was that the service was just atrocious. When I walked in, there was 1 customer in front of me. She was jabbering with the staff in Portuguese. The staff (both of them) saw me standing there and just ignored me. After a minute, I grabbed a menu off the table and stood there holding it. They looked at me again and kept on chatting with that customer. After a few minutes, another (3rd) customer arrived. This customer was confused too, as she couldn't tell if there was a lineup, since I was just standing around staring at the gaggle behind the counter. She then stood behind me and also waited for a few minutes, while the staff continued to ignore both of us. Total wait time was 12-13 minutes(!) before someone behind the counter decided to acknowledge our existence. Considering there were a total of 3 customers (not including a small group already seated), this is quite unacceptable. It was like the staff were there to socialize. The staff are obviously local Brazilians, as the cashier didn't have the best English. He didn't know what decaf was. Fortunately I had Google Translate. I ordered a flat white. They make this thing automatically with the push of a button. In other words, the coffee machine is similar to those found at car dealerships. I guess the redeeming factors was that the coffees here are quite inexpensive, and the flat white tasted decent for a generic coffee. My other complaint is that the cakes aren't made in house. Looks like they're made by a local bakery (Sinatra's). Price is definitely on the high side, but the carrot cake I had was very decent. I really wanted to like this place, but honestly have trouble recommending it. The service was atrocious, the coffees are office/gas station grade, and the cakes can just be obtained directly from the bakery supplier. Guess I'm going elsewhere for my next coffee/dessert fix.
