    A latte with a heart in the foam.
    Angie B.

    The staff is amazingly friendly and they do a lot of good for the community here. Their cinnamon roll is to DIE for, and their savoury lunch stuff is EPIC! (I'm a huge fan of the grilled cheese + tomato soup but their chef has been all over the world and the soups are always amazing!) Also appreciate all of the options they have for gluten free / vegan cuisines.

    November 2020 - got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. I MEANT to get the Thai wrap, but I guess my heart wanted the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup, so my mouth complied when I called in my order in. I just love it so much! I will eventually get the Thai wrap one day!

    If you find yourself near the BC Provincial Law Courts in New Westminster and you're looking for a place to hide out, you only have to go across the street to duck inside The Hide Out Cafe. The Hide Out Cafe is a self-acclaimed "hidden gem" which serves up paninis, wraps, salads as well as Fair Trade coffee. I showed up on a sunny May weekday and decided to try their Grilled Chicken Panini ($10.49) with meaty chunks of chicken, creamy melted cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Their menu appears to be limited to whatever they have already prepared for that day. The panini press gave this sandwich a nice crunchy exterior and turned a rather ordinary sandwich into a pleasantly hot, ooey-gooey treat. Perhaps not the best sandwich that I've had and I'd prefer if the sandwiches were made-to-order, but adequate for the neighbourhood. They also have a hidden patio off the side of the cafe where you can enjoy the sunny weather.

    Ok, so take a cafe. Add a FUNNER menu. Let some talented food-weirdos rename everything. Add some hot-sauces that your mother would scold you for as a child. It's worth a food-tourism trip! Yahoo on my tastebuds, YeeHee for my sense of humour!

    Decided to pop into this cafe since they had a fresh cinnamon bun sign outside. I ordered a cinnamon bun but sadly it was hard. The lady did instruct me to heat it up for 30 seconds before I ate it but it was still hard after heating.

    Best soup and sandwich place I've had. Although a little pricier than other places, the quality is worth it. Everything is homemade and fresh. Will be coming back.

    Solid breakfast wraps, soup and latte! My lunch came to $17. I found that a touch pricey for the ambiance. The place looks like the standard coffee shop with board games and limited seating. The bigger tables are reserved only for groups of 3 or 4 people when I asked. My food was great. My wrap was loaded with cheese, egg and sausage. Broccoli and cheese soup was creamy. Latte was perfect.

For drinks they have multiple types of hot chocolates and an array of non-coffee beverages - maybe I have found my new spot... We ordered a Pumpkin Chai Latte and a Pumpkin Spice Belgian Hot Chocolate and a Macadamia Marble Cookie. I like that for their hot chocolate you get to choose if it's milk or dark, I opted for dark. We found a table and I do appreciate the table signs that say to limit your visit to one hour. Honestly, more places should do this to stop people from treating a cafe like their living room or a library. I do feel like Delicia is on the overpriced side for what it serves. The latte was almost $7 and the hot chocolate was $8. I don't think that the drinks aren't worth it, it feels like mixed powder and nothing note worthy. When a menu is too big, it makes me question what is actually good, because even for a small cafe, you can't do everything good. To top it off, our cookie had a hair on the plate, very unappetizing. I don't think that I'll be back.

    Such a gem in New West!…read more My partner and I just went here for coffee today and he ordered a cappuccino, while I got myself a matcha latte. Both drinks were made exceptionally well; impressively smooth, foamy, balanced, and clearly prepared with care rather than just being an afterthought. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The vibe feels genuinely inclusive and community-driven, with thoughtful touches like the pop-up bookstore featuring books on race, gender, and queer authors. It feels like a space built for connection, not just coffee. I also love how it transforms depending on the day. The daytime café energy is cozy and welcoming, while on select nights they stay open longer, serve alcohol, and host regular events like DJ nights, board game nights, and other community gatherings. It gives the space a lot of personality and makes it feel alive beyond the usual coffee shop experience. Definitely one of those places that feels more like a neighborhood hub than just a café. I'll be visiting a lot more soon!

There's a cool back parlour area with well appointed booths to hide out in and socialize and a curated weekly music and events schedule that will suit a variety of tastes, from electronic to more indie and folk fare. Will definitely be back - just be careful not to come on a Monday or Tuesday as they are closed those days.

    I've been a few times to Edible Arts in New Westminster, and it's been fairly good till recently…read more I had purchased some pastries and was told they had them in stock. When after payment was finished, they had said "Sorry, we are out of those." There was no option for re-payment, no offer of compensation, only the choice of a different selection and I wasn't given my receipt. The selection was very slim and there was confusion on quantities. I was told a choice of two to three other options, to which they only had one available (or so they said). They first tried offering the one in the display case that looked as if it had been sitting there for 1-2 weeks. That of course turned me off, and I asked what else they had in stock. They finally checked their smaller fridge/ freezer to find they had that "one" type they mentioned available, but only a few. While waiting at the front by the service desk/ display case I did see that they had a bunch of boxes of pastries in the far back fridge/ freezer. This is when another employee had opened it up to check quantities or retrieve something from inside. When observing, I noticed that they had exactly what I was looking to purchase, though the service employee didn't bother to check and continued to say they had none in stock. Personally I will not go back to this store location and I am familiar with the supplier of the pastries for that store. I will go directly to that supplier when they provide their open market in the Langley area. Also, the supplier sells them for about $1.00 lower than Edible Arts. They attend the Farmer's Market out by the Kwantlen Campus in Langley.

I noticed this place with an inviting sign from across the tracks. I decided to get a latte here before my show. I had some time to kill and frankly being inside a coffee shop inside the New Westminister station platform was more appealing than being inside a grumpy train cart. The customer service was awesome. The barista was extremely sociable and I spent 60 minutes shooting the sh*t with him on life, politics, life and money. I met an awesome family in there from Alberta who I chatted with. I initially came in here for a latte, however, stayed for a ham bisque and macaroons. Very reasonably priced, great products and they continue to offer more quality items and very awesome stuff. This unplanned detour made my day.

It was clean and bright and we got a nice seat by the window. Our server was quick to say hello and take our drink order. I'm always impressed with the breadth of the menu here. I landed on the Seafood Yummy Hash, and hubby had the Big breakfast, again. Coffee and water came first, and we were both delighted at how good the coffee was. Most diner style restaurants have a very burnt tasting coffee but this was very smooth. Off to a good start! Food came out very quickly and looked amazing. Both dishes were beautifully plated, and the fruit on the big breakfast was not a typical canned special. Things took a turn at the first bite though. Taste 10/10, but our food was cold. Like cold, cold which was surprising given the restaurant was mostly empty, and it came out so quick. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and very obviously in-house made, but both of our potatoes were quite literally cold, with some of the baby potatoes being hard in the middle still. The sourdough was also stale, but not just stale in taste, it was almost like it had been toasted well in advance and then plated. The review on the big breakfast remains the same as last time. Sausage was amazing, but the bacon and the ham left something to be desired. The server took some time to return back to our table and check in on us. When she did I told her our food was cold. She just kind of made a face, said oooooh, apologized, and that was it. She also had to be reminded to refill our coffees a second time after asking. The last shock came with the bill. While the prices overall were reasonable for very large servings of food, two black coffees came to $11. I know we raved about them at the beginning of the review, but not sure they were $11 good. Really wanted to love it, but not sure it lived up to expectations this time.
