“It's a lovely shop though it can be hard to find seats at times. Very popular, they have a laptop study room almost near the back. There's also outside seating when its not too cold. I stop here every time I'm in North Van.“
“First time here this weekend as we are from across the water and we will be back every time we visit the big city now. From the amazing customer service including how sweet and genuine they were to a regular in front us helping him locate his umbrella to the exceptional warm and friendly service we received as well. Also amazing coffee and treats!“
“The best local cafe in Lolo - for service, coffee, staff and of course, the donuts. The Parallel team is incredibly consistent with their service and experience. There's a reason that this cafe is always packed with locals. Quality coffee and the best donuts!(... And I don't say this lightly with Nemesis and Lovearte a close walk away)---Exceptional to the highest level - our wedding story:On my wedding day, I came in for a 7am coffee run. With friendly greetings, I chatted with the staff while the 8 coffees were being made. My wedding came up, and the staff were so lovely that they offered me enough donuts, on the house, to feed all of us. Such a thoughtful and generous offer ? Then, when the coffees were made, I didn't have enough hands to carry it all. So, living close by (a 5 min walk away), one of the staff offered to walk with me to help out. I accepted and he walked the donuts and coffee all the way up to our apartment with me, and said hi to all the bridemaids and hair/make up artists when he walked in. Very graciously, he left and we were so very appreciative. The Parallel team left me and all of us with an experience that we will never forget. This is the type of thing that 5-star restaurants do. I couldn't have been more impressed ?My husband goes to Parallel most days in a week, and it's my first choice, every time, for a when I go for coffees too.A huge thank you to the Parallel team, and to the special team that were so kind on our wedding day (Oct 21, 2023). You know who you are “
“The coffee is genuinely good, as you'd expect when it's freshly roasted on site! Love that I can buy coffee beans roasted a couple of days prior right in my neighborhood and they also have a nice stock of brewers like aeropress and chemex you can buy.“
