First time there. It's such a beautiful place. The person who took our order was incredibly friendly and attentive. This was on Sunday, February 18th at 11 am. The cappuccino came with a delicious cookie, and it was excellent.We'll be back.

Mixed feelings about this cafe. On the one hand, love that it promotes and accommodates cycling and the community. However, not enough (only one below average cookie) options for plant based / vegan food, and hence they demonstrate a lack of understanding of the health and environmental impact of the food choices they are providing consumers. They do provide plant based milks which is why it’s two stars. Would like to see half their food items plant based. I often will carry extra food if I know the group is stopping at sanctuary. Riding on my own, I’ll stop elsewhere.Vegetarian options: More vegan / plant based options would be a benefit to all. Vegetarian, and animal products, are a detriment to peoples health and the environment.

This was some time ago, and I’ve meant to leave a review. Very high society “cyclist” cafe. Used to be a superb coffee and cigar place many many years ago. Unfortunately the price was not on par for the quality.. Almost $10 for a large mocha. The most expensive coffee I’ve almost ever paid for anywhere in the world. They were friendly with me and my baby up until we Went to pay cash and they told me that they only accept card. Told them that they cannot and should not refuse cash as a tender and they used the “Covid safety” excuse, 3 years later. Definitely seems fishy.. will not support. Also, the baked good were super simple for what it’s worth. Hopefully you have changed your payment practices since then. Also.. $2 extra for oat milk is absolutely outrageous. I would recommend any other cafe. Robbing people out the ying yang for any old coffee is wrong

A great place to stop on a Steveston ride. Great treats and yummy coffee. I also like that they happily fill my water bottles. Great friend to the cycling community.

I concur with other reviewers, the baked goods are good but not outstanding, the coffee is very good but also very expensive. Over $8 for a 20oz latte is the highest price I’ve ever seen. The servers were nice but slow, and it wasn’t that busy.

Possibly best suited to cycliing fraternity. The weekend I stopped by for coffee it was really noisy, too noisy for me. It might be quite different other times.

The blueberry scone was very dense. The morning glory muffin was definitely not something to write home about no noticeable flavours. The London Fogs were good. But the service was great!

I've always liked independent coffee shops. It's often warm, cozy vs the standard, big corporate, one theme fits all kind of store. I love wood, earth, vintage! This place is nice with cozy tables and chairs. There's a couple of chairs comfortable for reading and a long wooden bench comfy to work in. Apparently this place is popular with cyclists. I can see why. Jersey decors adorn the place. There's plenty of parking on a lot or on the street. It's free! Staff is friendly and brought my order to my table. They don't accept cash so bring your credit or atm card. It's probably for safety these days. It has big windows so I can imagine it's nice and bright on regular, summer days. Right now it's cloudy and raining. I ordered the apple cheesecake pastry and my usual black coffee. It's soft when I used my fork to slice thru it which tells me it's not been sitting in the display counter for days. The sweetness goes well with the bitterness of coffee which creates that balance They have a good selection of pastries and muffins. They also make other coffee based drinks. Overall, I like the ambiance and looking forward to coming here often!

Cute, local coffee shop. It has a lovely interior; clean, comfy and unique. The coffee and treats are tasty and the staff is friendly.

Employee was nice. I liked the interiors too. But the coffee was too expensive.I ordered a "large size" Latte, but what they gave me was a vert small size coffee, which is probably equivalent to a "tall size" at Starbucks, as you can see in the picture. And it cost over $7, plus I had to leave a tip. This is outrageous.
