Stumbled upon this place when I was on my lunch break, and it was great! The benches were really…read morecute and had a rustic interior, which I love for coffee shops. They had a pretty good menu. I got the tuna melt sandwich and the chocolate chip cookie. The tuna melt was toasted and full of flavour. However, I will say the chocolate chip cookie was a little hard which is not typically something I like in a cookie. Service was splendid. The staff were kind and always had a smile on their faces. Great coffee shop to go to when you're in the neigbourhood!

Nice hipster coffee shop at the NE corner of Hastings and Nanaimo…read more Parking is available on the side streets. The interior reminds me of an antique shop, with random knick knacks for deorations, and vintage furniture. There are also several tables outside (S and W facing). Staff are friendly. No complaints. The flat white I had was pretty solid.

What a hidden gem on the E. Hastings strip. Pennyroyal Coffee is a simple yet classy cafe. The…read morefacade is very clean and proper, as is the inside. The interior is well laid out with stool window seats, small tables along the walls, and a gorgeous wooden table at the end. The walls are professionally decorated with framed shots by local photographers. On to the star of the show...the coffee. I started with shot of potent espresso topped with oat milk. What a heavenly combo that was! I took the time to slowly savour each sip. They're not just about coffee, despite the name. The Jasmine loose leaf tea is very fragrant and provides a very nice alternative to those who prefer tea. Feeling a bit hungry, I added an almond croissant produced by a local bakery nearby. I love how this indie is supporting his own local businesses. Better yet, the croissant was sooooo nice right to the last bite....and of course, I scraped up all the crumbs and enjoyed that just as much. Lastly, the owner who took over the shop this summer is a gentleman. He knows his coffee!! I hope everyone in the area will keep supporting the Indies.

The building is very new. Everything is nice and shiny. This place has the bare look with the exposed ducting. Staff are friendly. No complaints. I had a lemon crumble cookie and flat white. The cookie was nice and chewy (as opposed to flaky), and the lemon creme added just the right amount of tartness. The flat white hit the spot as well. This place has brunch and sandwich items too, though I didn't try. Definitely worth checking out if one is in the area. Recommended.

Excellent coffee. Delicious banana bread; not too sweet, which I absolutely loved. I asked for a…read morerecommendation and the lovely guy at the counter suggested this and I am so glad he did because it was one of the better banana breads out there. I wanted a small latte but their smallest size was a 12 oz, so he suggested an 8 oz flat white. I agreed and it was a good decision because it was just the right size for me (8 oz) and it was excellent! Great vibe, clean place and very friendly staff. Was a little crowded today but I managed to get a seat.

Service was prompt, polite and courteous. Only had coffee this time. However the looked amazing though. Because I didn't try the food this time I'll give a 4/5 stars. Next time I'll have something to eat and from what I saw being served to other customers, I'm sure I will upgrade to a five star rating!!

The staff are friendly, the coffee was good but the place is very dimly lit, it feels narrow inside and The reason for the lower star is because there is no washroom or at least none provided. They told us to go to Havana restaurant down the street to use that restaurant's washroom. Felt weird going to another place to ask to use the washroom. I never thought a coffee shop wouldn't have a washroom for their customers. Maybe there was an issue, if they had a washroom but I didn't see anywhere you could go, to go to a washroom. Their counter pretty much covers the whole back of the place.

Staff was very friendly the times I dropped by - however they didn't really make suggestions - I found the pastries - Banana bread, lemon loaf kind of dry - they may of been sitting around too long. Cold brew was decent - iced mocha was a miss as it tasted too much like a dessert - instead of keeping it's coffee flavors - It's a hit or miss for me - I wouldn't go out of my way for a coffee here -

I LOVE cinnamon, so I was already in heaven. They gave me a huge box of freshly made cinnamon buns topped with silky, sweet frosting -- and I love my buns extra sweet! One big bite and I was instantly in cinnamon bun heaven. The buns were soft, fresh, and packed with real brown sugar and cinnamon that ooze out in the best way. It's honestly so hard to find perfectly made, fresh cinnamon buns in the Lower Mainland, and I finally found my go-to spot. Thank you, Grounds for Coffee, for your generosity and love . You guys are the best! I'll definitely be back.
