I felt like a little kid again, I was so excited. I absolutely loved the design and decor of this location. The staff was incredibly friendly, and of course I had to show them my Hello Kitty tattoos! We got a latte to split, and even the cup was adorable. I also picked up a coin purse to remember this cute spot. This is an absolute must-do for any true Hello Kitty fan. There's also a decent amount of seating, which was nice to see.

Here's a polished version that keeps your excitement and personal touch:…read more Loved everything about this place! Isabella was so incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. The store was adorable, spacious, and full of amazing finds. I ended up buying a hat, a Vancouver Hello Kitty bag, the cutest Hello Kitty face-shaped cups, a thermos, and a sweatshirt. We also picked up an adorable Keromi shirt for our daughter. I would have loved to try the food too, but sadly it wouldn't have survived the trip back to the cruise ship. Maybe next time! So far I've now visited the Hello Kitty locations in Vegas, Irvine, and Vancouver -- and each one has been such a fun experience!

This place closed down for awhile and then reopened. This was our first visit back since they…read morereopened. Gotta be honest, it's not as good as it used to be. The menu has shrunk considerably and their business days/hours are also a lot less than what it was previously. The drinks were not as tasty as they used to be. My Blue Rose drink was the best of the bunch and I would say even that was just OK. I enjoyed the Lychee jelly in my drink. That was probably the best part of the drink. The liquid part was kinda "meh" for me. I think the best thing we ordered was the matcha soft serve ice cream. On the flip side, there was a guy playing piano there and they were taking requests. I suggested Demon Slayer and the guy played the famous "Gurenge" song by Lisa from season one of Demon Slayer. That was kinda cool. He was a very good pianist. Great way to liven the atmosphere. Also, there was a guy who came around and gave us all tiny paper cranes. It's nothing much, but still always nice to be gifted with anything at all. Business must be hard for them. It would sure be nice to see them return to how they used to be, with a bigger menu, tastier drinks and more days/hours again. We love this place for the manga/ anime vibes that it exudes, and love the Matcha soft serve ice cream they sell here. Really wanna give this place a higher rating but the drinks were really not up to par this time, and as much as we love the Matcha ice cream, it is not by itself enough to warrant giving out a higher rating. If they could just improve the quality of their drinks again...then even if they menu remains limited, at least if everything they serve is of good quality...that would be enough to merit a higher rating.

The fried chicken was crisp and flavorful without being heavy, and pairing it with the soft, fluffy pancakes worked surprisingly well. The eggs were perfectly cooked, rich and silky, with just enough seasoning to keep things interesting. I also loved how everything felt intentional, from the textures on the plate to the way the dishes were presented. The coffee and matcha were solid companions to the meal, smooth and not overpowering, which made the whole experience feel relaxed rather than rushed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you want to sit a little longer and enjoy the moment.

Dark chocolate infused with cinnamon star anise, black pepper and orange zest. Service with Takoyaki Croissant. I had the pho spice hot chocolate last year, I remember the last year one flavor was more stronger. This year's one was subtle and I could not taste much savory flavor in. It was a just regular hot chocolate. If this was a regular hot chocolate, it tasted good, however, if it was pho spice one, not really impressive . Takoyaki croissant was very unique. I enjoyed that croissant with Vegetable, Mayo and sauce on the top. Actually, highlight was cafe royal tart. - A flaky puff pastry tart filled with silky milk-and-coffee cream, topped with a rich caramel flan for a smooth, aromatic café-style treat. This is not hot chocolate festival item. Cream caramel on the top of crispy Pie tart caught my eye. Cream caramel was very delicious and coffee cream filling was really good. Pie tart's dough was super crispy and buttery. I really loved this item.

The interior is pretty neat. They have seats made out of parts of cars, and even the front counter is half of an old school SL. Lots of classic car parts on the walls. Staff are friendly and chatty. No problems there. The coffee selection is pretty decent. They also have cold (sweet) drinks. I had the V12 latte. They put a neat little teddy bear in the foam. Would've been cooler if they put a MB logo instead, but all good. The only complaint is that the car themed couches and regular couches are at different heights. So my friend and I were looking up and down at each other. Wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the car themed ambience and maybe try a pastry.

The drive itself led us to an incredible bay that genuinely felt like we'd been transported to Alaska--calm, wild, and breathtaking--and then there was this cozy little gem waiting for us. Any place named after a dog and so welcoming to dogs instantly wins my heart. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even though the place was bustling with happy locals and travelers alike. Every pastry in the case looked beautiful and tempting, making it nearly impossible to choose. The coffee, though--absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what you want on a crisp morning adventure. Goldie's felt like one of those special finds you don't plan for but remember long after. If you're anywhere nearby, it's a must-stop.

Today I had a latte which I give an easy five out of five. I highly recommend trying multiple items on the menu as each option came with a carefully selected assembly of ingredients and by carefully I mean an attention to detail I've rarely seen in a coffee shop. The honey they use is locally sourced and chosen for its particular flavor. These people really care about the coffee they make, and it shows. The atmosphere is set with a behind-the-bar turntable and today they were playing a wonderful selection of vintage jazz. If you're in the region, make your way down to Crofton for the coffee, stay for the view, but savor the coffee

This is…read moreone of those tucked away gems you're not sure of you should tell anyone lest it become too popular. But I think the cat's out of the bag now! I will go out of my way to get an iced salted honey latte from SPAN. The honey comes from just down the road (Nielsens Honey). If you need a little snack, they also have a changing variety of delicious croissants and muffins by local bakery all star Hank. I asked about the coffee beans they use, and you guessed it -- locally roasted beans, just for them, by roaster Oughtred made especially for the cafe to the owners' specifications. Span is a block from the Crofton ferry on-ramp, so you can take your coffee to go & wait in the queue, or enjoy in the big park across the street while your kids & dogs play, or while you beachcomb, or on the short walk back to your beautiful Osbourne Bay campsite! Vibes are warm & welcoming, sometimes with jazz music on the record player. Design is sleek, clean and uncluttered, but still 100% West Coast, with lots of natural light, and beautiful natural materials. The owners are also artist-designer-craftspeople and have a perfectly curated shop featuring VanIsle artists that changes all the time. It always makes my day to chat with Tanya & Juaning whether it's about coffee, travel, or _local_ happenings!

Crowded and we waited a long time for our food which was made one item at a time. The display looks gorgeous but don't be fooled. We had a matcha cream puff pastry which was frozen inside which leads me to believe the items are not made fresh. The almond croissant tasted stale. Coffee and lattes were good however and the toasted ham and cheese sandwich was also good. TLDR: Ambience: crowded. FOOD: Average. I'd have preferred we stopped elsewhere.
