Asthetically this place looks amazing! The food is so bad that there's just no way I'm ever coming back. Everything is so bland and dry that it's a total rip off! Please do not go there!

I ordered a chai latte and it was a bit underwhelming. I prefer a chai latte with a strong aromatic punch of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove spices that this chai latte lacked. Instead, it tasted like tea watered down with frothy milk. Service was fast and efficient. The ambiance of the cafe was really nice and modern. There was plenty of seating available and free wifi. Parking on the plaza can be a bit challenging as it is a very busy plaza. I had to drive a couple laps to find a parking spot.

Great coffee shop in the Cloverdale area, friendly staff with lots of room for seating. The interior is clean and spacious with great drinks to boot. I didn't have a chance to try their food but will have to do that next time.

All empty n clean but just opened for take away

Interior is what i liked the best. Unlike casual coffee house , this cafe has very formal appearance. Not bad at all as the whole plaza where its located has some serious businesses like service canada , notary public offices around.lol I have visited this plaza on many occasions and the cafe would be closed so thats how i know that the hours of this cafe are limited but to my surprise its open from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm almost every weekday and weekends until 9:30 pm. Maybe changed recently or it's temporary because of corona virus. I don't know. All i know is that they have yummy food. Few choices of lunch or dinner like salads, wraps,bowls but unique to its core. Very much everything is house made. I loved the currey chicken coconut bowl which i could customized with either quinoa or brown rice. Very light taste of turmeric but didn't feel coconut milk or taste in it. Even otherwise it was yummy fragrant with turmeric. They even have fresh grinder to grind the coffee for you. The retail of this store also have store swag or store labeled items like water bottles, tea mugs , t shirts and caps to purchase. The seating is comfortable as there are big lounge chairs to sit. Middle area in front of open kitchen is high chair counter or coffee bar. The other side is some more seating. Overall its good experience as long as you are hungry or decaf female.

Turmeric chicken bowl and chipotle chicken wrap

Inside is beautiful, very simplistic and lots of little decorations. I got a smoothie which was expensive for the size but was good. I got the coconut turmeric chicken bowl which was beautifully presented and very yummy. Lots of flavour, would recommend. My friend got an iced vanilla latte and said it is really good but also a bit expensive. Chipotle chicken wrap is good but might be a little boring if she did not add avocado. Overall good experience, no one in the cafe seeemed that excited or happy to be there but it's ok I brought my own positive vibes. Would come here again maybe at breakfast time so I can try those options.

This little cafe is perfect! So much natural light and lots of space to cozy in to do your work. You don't need to go downtown to find "blogger style, aesthetically pleasing" cafe! This spot has lots of options for food, snacks, drinks (hot & cold). They make the chai they way I like it!! It's with a tea bag and not that powder stuff they use at Starbucks. Highly recommend this place, it's a cute spot to meet for a catch up date with a friend! (Their couches are so comfy )

Given the pandemic, I would've thought they'd enhance the cleanliness and provide above and beyond service, but no. The service was mediocre and they gave us the dirtiest utensils (see photo). We asked for a new set AND SAME PROBLEM. Never returning.

This place is seriously a gem in this area. It's a very cool cafe with lots of delicious breakfast and lunch options. Plus bonus points for the study/work friendly and bright environment. I could literally spend my entire day working and eating here. I'm so in love with their bowls and salads. They are healthy, not greasy, and combination options are endless with the protein add-ons and different sauces. All of their sauces are homemade. I also really like the hot sauces on the side. My one complaint is that portions could be slightly bigger especially for the salads and sandwiches. The price doesn't justify the portion size. Also you can add a soup to a sandwich for $2.99 but if you wanted to get the same side soup along a full salad then it's $3.99. I hope they change that cause it doesn't make sense. All I want would be a better priced soup-salad combo.

Indoor decor

As soon as I walked in, I wanted to give this place 5 stars, as their decor was so simple and comforting. However, my experience changed my mind. I really wanted to support this local business, especially since it is rare to find any cute cafes to hit up in Surrey... but a lot of things disappointed me. First off, the lady helping us did not like her job - it was clear. It was dead inside on a Saturday afternoon and she barely made any eye contact with us. She did not smile at us at all, and she did not give out a good vibe, which is the opposite of what I expect from someone working in a cafe. I don't mean to sound harsh, but baristas are usually very friendly at other cafes I've been to. Anyways, yes the decor is pretty and they have a variety of menu items. However, the menu items are not really fairly priced. We paid about 30 dollars for a chicken quesadilla, a chicken sandwich, and an oatmeal cocoa smoothie. It took a while for the food to come out. All the items we ordered were delicious. The food was piping hot, which I really appreciated. The flavours were all also very good. The guacamole that came with the quesadilla was just alright - needed salt. The chicken sandwich came on fresh sour dough bread, which is what made the sandwich so great. I was very disappointed with the portion sizes. The quesadilla barley had anything in it, and I probably could have eaten two of those chicken sandwiches on my own. It's definitely not a "bang for your buck" kind of place. They need to consider reducing their prices or increasing the portion sizes. They also lacked in plating their menu items. The sandwich came on an ENORMOUS plate - made the sandwich seem even smaller than it really was. I was also expecting the cafe to be more clean, considering how new it is. However, there were a lot of flies in the open kitchen as well as dust and food residue left on tables. I was quite disappointed with the owners' lack of cleanliness, especially considering we went on a weekend and it was completely dead. I don't know if I'll be back, which is unfortunate because I was initially very excited about a new coffee shop close to home.

Super in love with this cute+fresh coffeehouse in Surrey. I was in the area and figured I could do some work if there was a decent coffeehouse around and voila! The interior design is on point, the space has a ton of natural light, decent amount of space and I love how they really maximized on each square footage. You've got a comfy seating area in the from and the back and sandwiched in between you have a high bar-top and then a pod of tables great for opening up your laptop for studying or work. Also, the baked goods and pasteries displayed are super appealing and the food menu is also very attractive. They use all the right buzzwords that pique your interest and make you want to try everything! I had the couscous salad with a citrus dressing and a side order of the soup of the day (corn and jalapeno). Everything tasted fresh & clean and made with intention and care. Even the way the walnuts were perfectly and evenly seasoned and placed on the plate...it all made sense and made me so very happy. I will note that some people might order what I did and think it's a little under-seasoned, but as a person who appreciates food in its fresh state, I had no complaints. You want to add stronger seasoning you can add condiments from their condiment bar or ask for salt. I'm super pleased I found this coffeehouse and definitely want to come back often!

This cafe is not that great. The service is okay, the food is overpriced because it's not all that compared to the price. I've been here a few times over the years because this cafe is close to my house and it's never been amazing, or even just okay. The iced chai latte pictured tastes like water, and even after they gave it back to me after I told them it still tastes like water. Don't waste your time, and go somewhere else.

Pretty sweet place! Love the vibes... It's a great cozy place to come get work done, meet up with friends, etc. What little bit I tried of their food was actually kinda bland... But their Almond Milk Matcha Latte (my usual) was pretty good.

Big Star Sandwich - Always Hearty

Big Star Sandwich

I've always seen Big Star Sandwich company come up on my Uber Eats app and have always wanted to…read moretry them. Today, being yet another "forgot to pack a lunch" days, I went ahead and ordered a Number 02 combo (Turkey). Order was delivered to my workplace via Uber Eats. Unwrapping the sandwich, I could tell that I was in for a treat. From the soft bun, to the fresh crisp veggies, and the portion size of their regular, I was already jonesing to take my first bite. On this particular sandwich, I opted for the extra additions of cucumber, onions, and Mack sauce. The veggies crunched beneath my teeth and I bit into the sandwich and the soft, textured bun ripped cleanly. This is a great combination of sensory experience in a tasty sandwich; the light flavours of the sauces mixing perfectly with the savoury/sweet Turkey meat? It was just on point. A hint of bacon flavour came through as this sandwich does include it, and the tomato shined just enough striking its perfect balance within. The guacamole was pleasant although not exactly flavourful, but added a nice creamy texture to compliment the sandwich overall, so no points lost. I'll always order to have avocado over not so I'm not complaining in the least. The overall combination of light and subtle, dare I say "clean" flavours, sat within a textural matinee of crunch, crisp, soft, squish, creamy, savoury, sweet, and salty? I'll definitely be ordering this one again. I also got a side of a water, and an Elmans Big Pickle. Not much to say about either besides they're what you'd expect them to be. Next time I order from Big Star, and there *will be a next time*, lll make sure to dine in, so I can get the whole package upfront. If their decor is anything like their dishes (clean, fresh, balanced, deliciously paired), they'll have a definite repeat customer as far as I'm concerned, not that they don't have me hooked already~! 10/10, will eat from again

My favourite is the smoked duck but the lemongrass chicken is also delicious. I absolutely love cilantro and they are generous with it, so if it's not for you, just ask them to omit. There are a few tables available for those who wish to eat in. It's a nice and clean spot with very pleasant staff. They have an online ordering system but I've only used it a few times. It's nice to order while I'm there, as the people are so friendly and it's nice to chat while my food or drinks are being prepared. They have excellent juice and smoothie options as well as Vietnamese coffee. They bake their bread and Kouign Amann pastries fresh every day which makes all the difference. I'm glad to have this place as a lunch option when I go to the office. In fact, my company will also order sandwiches from Minh when we have a special event or something at the office. Highly recommended.

They bake the bread in house everyday and you can really taste the difference. The chicken was so juicy! They also make all the coffee orders completely fresh and Tim asked me how I like my coffee (strong/light, sweet/less sweet) so you can customize your perfect cup. As an avid coffee person, I really appreciated that. I'll definitely revisit to try some other items. The shop was also really clean with lots of seating.

Was looking for a delicious banh mi before my flight. On the way to the airport, I stopped by…read moreObanhmi to pick up two banh mis before my flight as my pre flight food. Ordering was super easy and the food came out fast. I ordered two #8 banh mi which is the classic banh mi that comes with 2 viet ham and pate. This is more of the traditional banh mi you see. I liked that Obanhmi also has a variety of other flavors including chicken lemongrass, beef sate, etc. Within the shop, there is a little bit of seating if you choose to sit inside and eat. The overall ambiance is cute for this small shop. I really like the newspaper wallpaper that incorporates the history of the banh mi. The banh mi itself was delicious. The toppings on top (cilantro, pickled vegetables, etc.) helped to add a nice crunch and helped to balance the whole entire sandwich. It was a good ratio of vegetables to meat to bread. Obanhmi is definitely is a solid option if you're in the area to get a banh mi!

Great find. Located on the downtown strip in Langley. Cute storefront! Clean+new inside…read more I give this store top points because they bake their baguettes, or have them delivered freshly! They have different options for banh mi than I've seen before; honey garlic chicken + beef sate. Just the right amount of sauce. The Vietnamese coffee was pre made mixture, which tasted okay but fresh would be better. I get it though it's a fast food style place. They don't give you a plate so when you sit down it's in a paper bag cover and all your French breadcrumbs will fall on the table. It's very small inside but has a few tables to sit in and eat. The service is friendly and while I was their the customers steadily trickled in. Will definitely go back!!
