“I pick up a bag when I was out visiting in Vancouver l just love this Wonderful smooth fresh taste. How can I get Honest to Pete in Toronto?“

“Best coffee in Vancouver!!!♥️“

“The ultimate coffee-geek experience in Vancouver. This place has a unique vibe that makes you want to explore all their brewing methods and taste all their coffees. Ordered a flat white and was surprised at how small it was. Shrinkflation is everywhere these days. It was also not as hot as I would have preferred it to be. That being said, the service was great. Though we arrived 30 minutes before closing time and sat down to enjoy our order, they didn’t make us feel rushed. We’ll be back to try something new and will definitely order more waffles!“

“I come here regularly, I love the drink options and the food they have. The ice cream is nice and they have great flavours I can’t find anywhere else. I look forward to coming here.The staff are all very nice and welcoming!Parking: In front of the store as well as across the streetWheelchair accessibility: I’ve seen wheelchairs come in. The entrance is on the same level as the sidewalk. Inside is spacious enough to maneuver, and the large table in the middle is a great height.“

“Live in the area and work from a coffee shop everyday. My previous everyday spot was Prado nearby and enjoyed going there but the staff turnover unfortunately was too high due to poor owners, so I tried Timbertrain.Highly recommend, the coffee is great and the popcorn cookie is to die for :) Loving the atmosphere and the staff here are tremendous. They already know my regular order in such a short amount of time.Only complaint is that power options are very limited, just the one outlet. But I understand they want to keep people moving :)“

“A variety of Decadent chocolate drinks and chocolate. This is a special place that you'll want to visit if you're in downtown Vancouver. They do lots for the community. You can work here as well. The seating is good and the WiFi was above 10. Good coffee too!“

“Extremely good meals, coffee that’s close to top tier, and the best ambience of any cafe in the neighbourhood.Edit: Over time, these folks have continuously either improved aspects of their offerings, or kept them well-maintained and consistent. Still the undefeated champion!“

“This coffee roaster is one of my most favourite in Vancouver East. Although it is operating quietly in a warehouse building in a quiet street, there are many people visit this coffee roaster in the neighbourhood. The baristas were quite friendly to new faces like me (in fact I’ve here for several times but I’m not living nearby).My favourite coffee here is simply latte. The flavour was bold and full body which is also good to go with oat milk.The barista counter is in the centre of the space with most of the seats are allocated to inside of the space. They have the steps near the entrance for customers to wait or enjoy coffee there. I recommend this place for coffee lovers if you are in the East VAN area.“

“I stopped in on a mid weekday afternoon to have a coffee and croissant while I waiting for an appointment. I did not have any of the fancy beverages but the plain coffee made due. It’s a nice spot to relax with plenty of seats and tables. It was my first time in a JJ beans and I will definitely be stopping into another one!“

“This is the most wonderful cafe. They have completely stolen my heart. The owners do a fantastic job of making the atmosphere homey and welcoming, and they also have fabulous drinks and pastries. (I recommend their Matcha Latte, London Fog, the Almond Cookie-Croissant, and their Chicken Pesto Sandwich!)I've been to the majority of the Cafes in Kits, and this is easily in my top 3. I find the ambience to be so warm and inviting, and the owners make the space so pleasant to be in. If you want a place to catch up with a friend, or to study for finals, or to enjoy a new book, C41 is the spot to do it.“

“A Stellar Experience at lovelarte!I recently had the pleasure of visiting lovelarte, and I must say it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere captivated me, making it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends.The first thing that caught my attention was the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans that permeated the air. It was clear that the folks at lovelarte take their coffee seriously, and it truly paid off. I ordered a cappuccino along with peach danish (yummy) and was blown away by the rich and robust flavor – a testament to the high-quality beans they use.The baristas were not only skilled at their craft but also incredibly friendly. Their passion for coffee was evident, and they were more than happy to share recommendations based on my preferences. The attention to detail in crafting each cup was impressive, and it made my visit feel personalised and special.Thank you lovelarte and I will definitely visit again next time I'm in Vancouver!“

“Every shot made was measured, distributed, tamped, timed and portafilter cleaned after.I watched at least 20 being made.The macchiato was longer than I usually like, but still tasted great. The person at the cash warned me.Will be returning for sure.“

“lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, art on the walls to purchase, view. The coffee is very nice! I do not love chain coffee shops ; that location is just a perfect stop. it has a character!“

“Super friendly staff! Chill environment!“

“First visit to this Trees location, but I’ve been to many of the other locations. The space is clean and comfortable - it’s moderately-sized for downtown and wasn’t crowded around noon on a weekday while I was there. The barista was friendly. I had a veggie breakfast wrap, a slice of strawberry cheesecake (January special), and a cup of Chinese sencha. The breakfast wrap is your standard scrambled eggs wrap with a Southwest touch of black beans and peppers, with a side of spicy salsa. It was good. The strawberry cheesecake had a strong natural strawberry flavour. The texture was nice and light, this one was a bit more mousse-like than most of their cheesecakes. They use high quality tea leaves. My good impression here is consistent with the experiences I’ve had at other locations. Their food is standard cafe fare but notable for being fresh and filling. The cheesecake slices are a good size, not too dense, and all of the flavours I’ve tried so far (which is most of them) are memorable.“

“Nice spot for breakfast— egg bagels (veg or with bacon) were great— hot and flavourful. Everyone enjoyed their coffee as well— outdoor seating was nice, a bit off the street so nice and relaxed — sister was not a big fan of the pumpkin muffin, a bit dense— but mother really enjoyed the other muffin options“

“Probably my favorite coffee shop in the city. Coffee is good. Sandwiches are great. Baking is delicious. The hipster staff is always friendly. Its a pretty busy shop because of its downtown location and the staff are always patient and give great service. Great seating and an awesome seating space on the second floor overlooking downtown.“

“The separate kitchen area to prepare food means cleaner sandwiches prepared properly. The pastries are baked in-house.“

“What a nice discovery in the downtown area! Very nice decoration with lots of character and a nice selection of small gifts for coffee lovers. The espresso machine didn't work the day I visited, but we got a drip coffee from El Salvador that was beautifully presented. The food we tried was great.“

“This location is my first favourite if them all. The chefs prepare pretty good food here, always fresh, wholesome and lots of variety. I like to pick up fresh organic fruits and veggies, then head over to the food bar to create my own dinner. Tonight, raisin, nuts and turmeric rice, roasted chicken, and braised cauliflower. Plus a carrot, celery, cucumber and coconut water smoothie. How perfect is that? Optimal nutrition and delicious to boot, convenience too. A fresh food market in the heart of a city of skyscrapers and construction.“

“I'm a big fan of JJ Bean as long as I can find a seat. Coffee and pastries have been consistently good for years.If I were to criticize anything it is that they don't seem able or willing to stay on top of cleaning and general wear and tear. That's a generalization and might apply to some locations more than others.“
