    Quiet on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Parking is almost impossible here because of the Chinese restaurant in the plaza, so I parked a few blocks away. It was very quiet and there was tons of seats available but not many outlets at the table booth seating along the wall. So if you're here to do some work or to study, you'll have to pick one of the round tables by the window. I had an iced matcha latte which was pretty good and I had to wait about half an hour for salt bread to be fresh out of the oven. It was steaming hot. Very buttery and delicious! The staff was very nice.

    It is really nice to finally have a coffee and pastry place in this area, it seemed like it was definitely needed, as the only thing you could get around here are fast food options for coffee and pastries. It is in a plaza that really doesn't have a lot of parking, that is noted by other reviewers as this plaza also caters a pretty big Chinese restaurant, and if you are here during prime time lunch hours, good luck, but lucky for you there is street parking, you may have to walk a bit. Coming in, you can see that they spent some good money to make this place aesthetically pleasing, you need to come and see how bright this place is, and how good this place looks compared to the outside. There is enough seating in here and a very comfortable place to bring a laptop, do minor work, or if you are like me, come with friends, chat and just drink the java. The lady working the front was very nice, and I enjoyed my time here where I can see myself coming often, cause it is not far from my home. There had a sample of this chewy cookie that reminded me of a rice crispy square, it was really good that my friend almost bought one after leaving, except the lineup got a little long and we had to go. A welcome addition to the neighbourhood, and looking for more coffee time soon.

    Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed by the food and drinks at Cafe Episode. We got an einspänner and two desserts. The drink was a bit too watered down for my liking and I wished the desserts had more flavour as I felt the cream was too dominant. I did find that the cafe had lots of space to work, and another bonus is that it is open late which can be rare.

    Located across the street from the McDonalds by Renfrew station - this is a little Korean Cafe gem. Small parking plaza available - but spots are quite limited / however plenty of scattered street parking. This place is also super transit friendly being a very short walk from Renfrew Skytrain. Cafe is very bright and tables are spaced out nicely - cleanliness seems important as everything looked clean and well maintained, as well as there restroom. Service was fast and cashier was attentive and able to answer questions - Milk alternatives are available - Wasn't able to try any of there treats, but they do have plenty of cakes, macaroons and other baked treats. Had a iced caramel macchiato made with oat milk - the blend of flavors meshed super nicely without losing the espresso flavor - I'm interested on what brand/blend they use for there espresso, as it was very good. Grapefruit -ade was also super delicious. Will definitely be back to explore there menu further , and hopefully try a treat -

    I got the honey biscoff latte, best decision. Only small complaint about the cafe is that there did not appear to be a lock on the bathroom door. Other than that, clean place overall and good service.

    Quaint Korean coffee shop. Parking is available but very limited in the strip mall. Plenty of street parking a few blocks away. The place is nice and bright. Looks decent but not super modern. Somewhat decent amount of seating. Coffee was decent. Chocolate croissant was pretty decent too. Not too sweet, which is nice. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point.

    Needing a new cafe to yap w/ your girlies? Introducing Vancouver's latest gem @cafepisode This cozy & spacious spot is perfect for a rainy afternoon catchup, offering a plethora of Korean inspired drinks, desserts, and pastries. The interior is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly kind. It's right off of Renfrew skytrain station so it's accessible! There's also an abundance of parking spots in their lot. I enjoyed their drinks & sweets but I wish there were a bigger selection of savoury items. The one savoury item we got was the salted bread (which is what Korea is known for), but I didn't find it anything too special. However, their sweet potato cake captured my heart this time and it's not found in many other cafes and not too sweet. I would visit again !! Located at: 2891 Grandview Highway, Vancouver BC,V5M 2E1

    Really nice cafe by Renfrew station. Parking in the parking lot and on the streets available. I got the biscoff latte and really enjoyed it. The iced matcha was very tasty as well. Good amount of seating!

    The Biscoff Latte

    Service was amazing and food is also amazing Got the sweet potato cake and it's not too sweet it's the perfect amount of sweet with a nice rich creamy texture. Absolutely love and recommend this cake if u aren't a fan of things that are too sweet The chocolate cookie is sure to soothe that sweet tooth! Very tasty! The coffee is also so amazing! I got the honey Biscoff Latte. It was super good and the brown sugar added the perfect amount of sweetener. The EINSPENNER is perfect for those who don't like sweet coffee drinks. The ambiance is a nice modern feel and super clean!

    I discovered this café through Instagram. This newly opened spot is located near Renfrew Station, making it very convenient. The café's interior is bright and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a variety of baked goods and cakes, and the croissants topped with whipped cream and fruits look especially great! I got a salt bread, which is one of my favorites and something I've tried at many other places, along with a matcha latte. The salt bread had a very soft and chewy dough, with the salt flavor being just right. The matcha latte was incredibly creamy, and the sugar level was perfect. On my next visit, I definitely want to try the cakes and other baked goods. This café is sure to become one of my regular go-to places!

    Amazing hidden gem of a spot near Renfrew station! So many pastries, cakes and drinks to choose from! I tried out the sweet potato latte and it was the perfect blend of earthiness and sweetness in a cold day!

    So happy to have a local coffee shop in the Renfrew area! This is a Korean cafe, and I was really looking forward to try their various selection of delectable pastries. On a late Thursday morning at 11am, they did not have too many pastries left, just their cakes. Did manage to snag 2 of their chocolate croissants that were still on the rack cooling. Would love to go back to try their potato bread and drinks. Parking is very limited, might have to park on the street on Grandview.

    Their coffee was great. The salt bread was very soft. I wish they had more savoury pastries to choose from!

I tried the Cinnamon rolls too - I loved that the server made sure I got the more desirable middle pieces rather than the corners. Passionfruit white chocolate croissant cube (5/5) Cinnamon roll (3/5) - it was a bit more on the denser drier side despite microwaving it slightly to try to warm & revive the texture. The icing topping was ok. I had to remind myself that this was a VEGAN bakery. So no butter or eggs, which is extremely impressive to execute the pastries and creamy filling to the texture that they did. Definitely would come back for their feature pastries!

There is also a E facing table and patio umbrella outside, but it wasn't set up during this rainy season. The room is quite stuffy (lack of ventilation), so they had the door propped open. This place is quite cramped. Staff are friendly. I think they're Korean. Coffee here is pretty decent. No complaints. Didn't try the food.

It was kind of chilly inside because they had the door propped open despite it being cold out, but I can imagine it might have been stuffy for the staff in the kitchen area. The barista was very nice! I got the Sooyo croissant, an egg tart, and a milk tea. I loved the Sooyo croissant - I'm weak to the brie/fig combo and this had just the right balance of all the ingredients on a warm and soft croissant. The egg tart was also really nice with a hint of cinnamon. It was bite-sized which was good for a small treat. I also loved the milk tea. It was very strong, and the brown sugar syrup enhanced the flavour! It was worth the trip for me for a relaxing snack stop!

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.

I was glad to visit on a Sunday morning while taking a walk with my boyfriend in his neighbourhood. When we arrived, it was quite busy. The coffee shop is small, but charming with limited seating available. The menu mainly contains basic coffee shop items as well as a variety of baked goods. We ordered an iced specialty coffee with ice cream and a small latte. I also chose the Tiramisu danish and we nibbled on it while waiting for our coffee. The danish was suggested by the cashier as one of the more popular items. She was completely right, because this baked treat was heavenly. The outside was like a croissant, flakey and buttery and paired with a delicious tiramisu custard on the inside. We also grabbed a scone for our walk home (which turned out to be delicious as well). The shop also sells local artisanal goods such as chocolate, sauces, and even loaves of bread. It's nice to gander around while waiting for your order. We enjoyed our coffee on the walk back home. The coffee is quite strong, which would be optimal for most coffee lovers. The flavour was deep and chocolate-y, but not bitter at all. I read on their site that they regularly rotate their bean selection. I would love to return to try more of their food items!
