    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!

    We visited Coffee Loft for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival…read more What we got: Cherry Blossom Matcha with Cotton Candy Ceremonial-grade matcha with delicate cherry blossom sweetness, topped with a cloud of airy cotton candy that slowly melts into the drink. Ube Latte with Cold Foam Rich, nutty sweetness of purple yam blended with creamy espresso, finished with a silky layer of cold foam. Cherry blossom matcha with cotton candy has so instagram-worthy presentation! Not only it looks pretty, but alsoit tasted great! Strawberry puree and matcha paired so well. Ube latte with cold foam was good, too. Their espresso stood out and ube flavor came through later. I really liked their espresso which was strong and bold. Ube foam was very tasty. I really liked this item. Service was extremely good and friendly. I will revisit this place and would like to try different item next time

    I'm conflicted with coffee loft. I love coffee. I love coffee shops. I love pastries. Coffee loft…read morehas all these, but it's just okay. To be clear, it's a great vibe inside. Plenty of seats for small groups and big groups. High ceilings make the location feel spacious. And it was busy with a lot of people. I think if I'm going to hang out with people, coffee loft would be a great spot. However, I don't think the coffee and pastries are particularly good. But of course, I'm a bit biased since these are the things I look for in coffee shops: the coffee. It's not bad. It's just okay. So in short, I think if you're looking for a place to hang, Coffee Loft is great! If you're looking for coffee or pastries, there are other places. Still worth visiting though!

    Delicious, lots of different flavour combinations to try from!…read more Friendly staff, and willing to modify different flavours to create what you're looking for. Have been going here for 3-4ish years, same quality, theres been drinks i haven't liked but then so many i have but what I may not like could be another persons yum and what i like might be another persons yuck. Can find whatever you're looking for, not only just cold bubble tea but you can get hot drinks, icecream, food, sweets and more! Definitely worth trying it out :)

We got one of those and a Durian Smoothie. I think we somehow missed the Greentea part of this drink cuz when we got it, hubby and I were both surprised at how green the drink was. It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!
