    Walking around Gastown, my partner and I were looking for a little cafe to visit while there. We stumbled upon Cafe Kitsune, a part of Maison Kitsune, but with its own connected storefront. We ordered the hot dark chocolate matcha drink and it was so good. It balanced the line between a matcha latte and a hot chocolate super well and it was the perfect warming drink on a cold chilly day.

    This is a famous cafe and the quality of their food and drinks are very good. The only downside is the price point but for an occasional nice treat it does the job. They also have merch for purchase but that also does ring up quite costly. It's very clean and aesthetic inside.

    Every time I visit Vancouver I always stop by this cozy cafe. Their coffee is what I keep coming back for. I've tried their matcha biscoff and it was tasty. It wasn't too sweet either. The cafe is clean and their staff is friendly!

    I visited Cafe Kitsune in Gastown to get a drink. I have been to the one in Paris and finally had a chance to visit the one in Vancouver. I got Matcha crumble latte which sprinkled biscoff cookie on the top of Matcha latte. Drink itself was good, matcha flavor was decent and milk texture was very creamy, I really liked it. However, biscoff part was subtle. Next time, I will try different item. Their baking goods

    Always great service and super clean aesthetic. Love that it's a no laptop spot so it's really about catching up with whoever you're there with and deters lingering from laptop people. Always gotta get one of those little round brioche things, there's yuzu, matcha, and strawberry but I was in an ultra matcha mood. Love the matcha as it's unsweetened.

    right in the thick of gastown, on 157 water street, this french-japanese café (franchise) sits on cobblestone streets dotted with lamplighters, charming flower baskets, tourists jostling for a steam clock selfie, and waiting for the steam clock to chime. inside, it's all sleek minimalism, a bold red banquette, it's laptop and tablet free, and a retail space next door selling branded merch. i went for the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk. the strawberry sauce came from a bottle, it was thick, difficult to dissolve and my poor paper straw was one swirl away from disintegrating. unfortunately, the matcha was premade and poured in, no graceful hand whisking with a chasen ceremony here. it looked pretty, and tasted fine. still, if you're hanging out in gastown, and/or waiting for the steam clock to do its thing, this place makes a stylish pit stop.

    I love this place. It was so good that we came back the next day during our Vancouver trip. The matcha crumble was sooo yummy. We got the mango yuzu cake, which was very light and refreshing. The inside is somewhat small. Bathrooms are very modern and clean.

    We enjoyed a perfect cup of Flat White with a delicious Pistachio Croissant while visiting Gastown in Vancouver B.C. Minimalist vibe. The Flat White was perfectly prepared. Service was fast, friendly and efficient!

    On rainy quiet Sunday morning. Cafe was empty. Service was prompt and quietly friendly. Ham and cheese scroll was delicious and crunchy and heavy on the butter. Yuzu and honey tea was satisfying for a rainy day. Clean and seating was comfortable. Only downside was washroom was out of service.

    Y'all I am SHOOK. I walk in here and order a cheeky matcha latte with oat milk expecting it to cost 7$ MAX. Imagine my surprise when it came out to 9-10$. And it was SMALL. And didn't have much matcha in it. At this rate the millennials were right, I'll never be able to afford a house (bc I like buying silly little beverages). I will say the sweetness was perfect, the staff were nice and the bathrooms were impeccably clean and bopping some great tunes. But definitely not worth the price. At least they could've added more matcha. If I could relive my experience I would also ask for no ice because it further diluted a not very concentrated beverage.

    The interior design of this place was so minimalist & comfortable. It wasn't a big cafe but it had a good amount of seatings for people to sit and talk or do some work. The service was quick and friendly. They helped recommending what's popular on their menu so I ended up choosing the Yuzu Tart. The Yuzu tart was quite strong and I definitely tasted the yuzu in it. It was a little too gooey for how I like my tart but it still tasted really good. It was one of the recommended places to must go to in Gastown so I went. I definitely do think it's a nice place to drop by for a quick coffee or dessert after a long day

    Has a lot of merch with their logo

    Ambiance is very casual, friendly, but not dingy like Starbucks. Food they have some creative lattes center around matcha. Not too strong matcha flavors for those who think matcha can get too grassy. Service is the best. Honestly I thought it was as good as when i was in japan.

    Stopped by a cute cafe for a quick bite since I am rarely in downtown! The cafe is connected to the store next door, so you can shop and eat and shop and eat some more. The matcha brioche and pistachio croissant were both delicious. I especially love the flakey croissant bits and the matcha filling. The matcha latte was great since the weather was quite cold. It was so comforting to sit and sip and just enjoy. I wanted to get the yuzu brioche but unfortunately they were out already around 1pm. Will have to go earlier next time to get it!

    My partner said her matcha was great I won't touch that with a ten foot pole lol. The pastries are very good and the latte was good.

    Cute lil date spot! My review is only wine and dessert as we came here after my husband's bday…read moredinner for a nightcap. We both ordered red wines to start which we both enjoyed. Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

    I'm so split on Bar Gobo. Small but mighty wine selection including natural wines…read more We went in considering the prix fixe menu thats $65 per person but ended up ordering off the menu to try the things we wanted to as we weren't sure if the prix fixe menu would include all that piqued our interest. Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

    We were a table of 4. My friend and my birthday are so close together that we both decided to come…read morehere as a celebration for our birthday. We started off with some drinks. I got the mocktail Spicy Daisy $14 and B got the Mermaid Purse $19. The Spicy Daisy was very delicious and had a nice kick of ginger flavor. B said his Mermaid purse was good but not worth $19 good. It tasted like a regular cocktail. For food I ordered the beef tartare $22 to share with B. The beef tartare was delicious. What B and I liked the most was the chips that went with the beef tartare. The chips tasted like it was made in-house. The portion size of the beef tartare was pretty good. For entrée, I got the seared trout $34 and B got the Bavette (6oz) $52. The seared trout came with greens and the greens were amazing. The greens had more flavor than the trout. The seared trout itself was not. The Bavette was amazing. The sauce was very very delicious. The wagyu was cooked to perfection. It came with fries and the fries were very tasty. Out of all the items, I say the Bavette was a must try item. B then finished it off with the Beach Radler $8. The beer here are average price of anywhere else. Because my friend and I are celebrating our birthday here, we each got a Rhubarb Tart. I really enjoyed the tart. It wasn't anything special but it was definitely a nice treat. The entire bill for Brandon and I came to $160 before tips. The food was amazing here. I highly recommend trying. The atmosphere was gorgeous and cozy. The place is very small and getting a reservation was not easy. The place was super packed when we arrived at 6:30 pm. I do know the restaurant opens quite late and I am guessing the later you arrive the higher the chance of getting a table for the day. If you want to come here for dinner than a reservation is required. Also you do have to put down a deposit for the reservation online.

They've a lovely patio facing the seawall, and especially in the summer, it looks so inviting, and patrons often bring their dogs, and I just love the whole vibe. In the winter, too, it always looks like people are enjoying themselves here, with the warm lighting and twinkling lights. Since this wine bar is attached to the restaurant Provence, I've often passed here and heard live jazz musicians and singers who perform certain nights of the week, and man, they sound GOOD. It just always felt like this would be a super place to mellow out, have a glass of good wine, relax with friends, either on a summer day or at night, any season. I finally got to check it out in person today. I went with a friend for a drink mid-day, sitting outside. The weather was lovely, and it was a perfect day. Carmen was our server and she was great. I appreciated how knowledgable she was regarding all the wine and cocktail selections. My friend had a glass of white wine which she loved, and I had an amazing cocktail with lavender and rose. They have a decent happy hour selection which, unfortunately, we were too early to partake of. Their regular wine menu is extremely extensive. What a great neighborhood place!
