Pretty cool to appreciate the decor. - Turkey Bacon Panini The panini was softly toasted and warm. Turkey and bacon go well together. It's a nice change from the usual BLT, which is also on their menu. Besides paninis, they also have bagels, wraps, sandwiches and bakeries. They serve a variety of fresh, organic and fair trade coffee, roasted every week locally from North Vancouver. They are also licensed for alcoholic beverages. This is a local gem which you don't find it often.

They have more than 35 different tea flavors and they don't make a show out of that :D Okay! the place looks so creepy for the outside, but nice and super clean from the inside! Their chairs are not that comfy but it's okey, The tea house, in addition to teas, offers wide rang of hot beverages (latte etc), pastries (cheesecake etc) and middle Eastern appetisers (eg. Humus). Of course their main thing is TEA! I had four different types and I was always blown away by it's magical flavor! to the extend that it made me hate other teas! it ruined me :S The Joint also have a ME grocery corner, the good side is that the place doesn't smell like other regular ME grocery shops :D very neat I have to say! They also have Sufi bookstore upstairs and they offer *free* SUFI meditation session every Wednesday @7.30 for 30 min. I tried the sessions twice, a small group of 7-10 from diverse ethnic backgrounds with nice music that they call "TASABEEH" and then you can have some tea before you leave. Really liked the place! check it out, esp the top floor. I gave it 4, though I thought it's more of 4.5 but I think the seating area could be improved to earn the full mark! Keep it up guys! p.s check Rumi's books upstairs, they're different !

My boyfriend loves the coffee here, and it's always nice to walk over and support a local business. The service is always pretty quick and attentive, too! I'm not a coffee person, but I've tried their Italian sodas, which were, unfortunately, pretty bitter. They do also have smoothies, and those were pretty good.

When I arrived, I…read moreimmediately adored the establishment's traditional interior aesthetic and overwhelming café drink menu. I was told by the staff that the business has been around eighteen years and is still doing great. Being inside the café is like being in a very nice cabin. I ordered the Wicked Thai Chicken soup and the Pumpkin Spiced Latte with whipped cream. The soup was fantastic and did not taste watered down whatsoever. The Thai chicken was full of piquancy and zest. The latte really stood out with how potent the pumpkin spice was and the whipped cream was a very nice addition. The drink was thoroughly enjoyable with how sweet and flavourful every sip was. I also ordered the Apple Caramel Muffin and the Haystack Brownie; both were very great baked goods to follow-up from the soup. I really like the service there; staff is very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed eating at Kanaka and I know everyone that went there does as well. I cannot wait to come to patronize at this lovely café again.

I always look for awesome coffee wherever I travel and so far I have not found great coffee in Vancouver. I always get a plain latte so I can taste the coffee well.
