    Almond latte and earl grey financier
    Debbie W.

    I haven't really visited any cafe since the pandemic started. Sitting in a room with full of strangers doesn't make me feel comfortable. However, with the introduction of the vaccine passport, I feel a little bit safer. This new place resides in the heart of the Olympic village. The location is very central, right beside a little park among all the residential condos. Parking is definitely an issue as there's no free parking around, but it's only 50 cents for half an hour which makes it really affordable, if you can find a spot. I love the open concept of the whole place, lots of natural lighting and makes the whole room very bright. They social distanced the whole seating area, and people have the option to sit apart or takeout. I ordered an almond latte and an early grey financier pastry. I have to say, the latte is just the right temperature! It's not too hot, which makes me very impressed with their barista. The latte is creamy with a hint of almond, and you can still taste the bitterness of the coffee. The earl grey financier is just delicious! It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with lots of almonds coating. It's not too sweet which is just to my liking. I haven't had such good pastry for a while! And you can taste the freshness, knowing it's made in house! Their staff are friendly and professional. The decor is very com temporary with cute little details. I'll definitely come back to this place next time when I'm around the neighborhood.

    Strawberry frappe

    The Veggie Daily sandwich is delectable. Strawberry frappe is fresh and creamy for a warm day. Breakfast daily sandwich (salty processes cheese) and apple turnover (dry and little filling) were mediocre. Great open space with big windows to catch up with a friend. I would come back to try their coffee and other frappes.

    The Press Room should be everyone's fav coffee shop. Looking for a WFH location? The Press Room. Study spot? The Press Room. Coffee chat? The Press Room. I ordered the Breakfast Cup, London Fog Latte, and Americano. It was only after I ate half the pastry I realized I forgot to take a photo - a true testament to its goodness. The Breakfast Cup is filled with bacon, eggs, and cheese. It's light and fluffy, and will definitely make your breakfast 10x better. The London Fog is a classic and their Americano will have you coming back for more - a thousand times over. So please, take a minute to visit The Press Room you will be pleased. xx Ren

    Had a great experience at the Press Room. It's a fairly new cafe in Olympic Village and it has a really cute and cozy interior with lots of tables. I would've liked to dine in but I still had a class to attend so I just got my complimentary pastry and beverage to go. The guy who served me was really friendly and accommodating. I was taking a long time to decide on which pastry to get but he didn't make me feel rushed or anything. He even offered to heat up my pastry without me asking :) I ended up getting the chocolate croissant! It was flaky and had a good amount of chocolate filling. As for my drink, I saw other reviewers talking about the Spanish Latte so that piqued my interest and I decided to get it too. It was my first time trying it and I really liked it! It wasn't too sweet for me either. It's essentially a latte but it's made of both regular milk and condensed milk. I highly recommend trying this one! Thank you to Eric and the Press Room staff for this event!

    Got invited by yelp to try this and the place was amazingly chill and good place to study. Tried the hazelnut mocha frappe and almond croisant and they were both great. I would be keep coming back and recommended to study and chill here. Cheers!

    Great little coffee shop in Olympic village. Friendly staff and full assortment of baked good to choose from. Stopped in for a snack. Staff was closing up and is the ad of wasting coffee. They offered me a free cup! Very impressed. Will return.

    There is a mouse in the cafe. Everyone left due to it. The staff didn't seem to care.

    Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

    A good assortment of pastries and surprisingly some savoury items for reasonable prices. There's a…read morelot of fruit forward flavour combinations like mango, strawberry and raspberry. Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
