The experience I had here was okay. I met my girlfriend here this morning and the staff was friendly the reason I'm saying my visit was just okay is there isn't anything someone who is celiac or gluten intolerant can eat also there was no toilet paper in either of the washrooms which we found odd since it was just the beginning of the day, and instead of replenishing it, they just stuck signs on both doors that said "no toilet paper." and the staff had told me personally there was none in each washroom so I guess they ran out of toilet paper completely? I just think that's probably a necessity any cafe or restaurant should have all the time. The cafe itself is nice, and there's a lot of seating in the cafe but a little bit of an odd visit because of the washroom situation. I think it would also be good if they had some stevia or honey available for sweetener. read more

I wanted try some cafes near my place and I saw this cafe as a "good cafe near me". Latte is the whole reason I came and the latte wasn't very flavourful. On top of that...NO LATTE ART BUT...two things that really irked me. 1) closes at 4pm 2) no wifi for customers I will most likely not come back here. read more

Caffe Divano - Latte and pastry. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

In the area and saw this as a good morning spot to go. Coffe was basic, but the egg sandwich was perfect. However, the cashier was short and annoyed with us. And the ordering area was quite small. We ended up rushing and then kept bumping into people. We ate outside which was nice. A Bistro table with umbrella which was perfect in the sunny area. I'd go again for the food, but probably not for the coffee. read more

Ironically I don't go to this place for the coffee. You either love it or hate it. Having been a barista in my youth I can appreciate a good cup of joes. Often I have found the Pallet Roasters brand to be overtly acidic. Coffee (variety of drinks) 6/10 Tea on the other often pleasantly surprises me. (Though I normally prefer coffee over tea.) Tea 8/10 What is the jewel of Cafe Divano is their pastries. Fresh, wholesome, Canadiana, earthy goodness. Hard to resist. (Except the rhubarb pie.). Baked goods 9/10 Ambiance of the place would be described as cozy and comfortable. Though on crowded days, I find the seating to be too close as neighbouring conversations spill over. On the walls you get local artists' paintings for sale. Often of a blank scenery which is of a decorative variety as opposed to be thought provoking types. Ambience so/so 7/10 Service is a mixed bag. Sometimes the young students are cheerful and friendly, other times they are moody and grumpy. Turn over rate seems extremely high. Every 3-4 months are new faces. Service 5/10 Value: Although drinks wise they are competitively priced but their pastries are pricier than average. Again with slightly above par goods this is okay priced. 7/10 Overall score:- Coffee 6/10 Tea 8/10 Baked goods 9/10 Ambiance 7/10 Service 5/10 Value 7/10 Total score 42/60 = 70% Summary skip the coffee if you don't like acidic coffee, go during off-peak times early to catch their baked goods fresh. read more

The coffee is ok. The Morning Glory muffin is great but I'm going to say service is everything. The music is too loud, I guess, so when I repeated myself I felt it was too loud a voice! The server took it personal and slapped my change on the counter and dismissed me for the next customer. I'll pass on the coffee and muffin next time. read more

Cafe Divano is one of those honest "Local" small mama papa coffee shop with heavenly comfort fresh baked goods that can rival your grandmother's delivered like clockwork every morning and surely the most popular muffins (monkey nut, zucchini chocolate) get sold out daily by 9-10am. Price wise they are always more expensive than Starbucks and Waves. What they offer is superior baked goods, but man the coffee sucks. _The good: Muffins, if you get them fresh in the morning, have crusty crunchy top and moist center. Once last 9am, it's not quite the same. The cookies though are always thick tasty and satisfying, and they are good throughout the day. Their scones (earl grey blueberries) are heavenly buttery but don't forget to ask for more butter! _The bad: Their coffee is consistently on the acidic side (we alternate between the Port Moody and the Coquitlam City Centre locations) so we figured it's the beans they use, probably too young - even a skilled barista could not do anything about bad beans. So we usually drown their coffee with heavy cream to cover up the acidity. _How to survive a bad coffee-go for tea! If cream is not your thing, go with their tea-they are great! Served in nice glass tea pot and refill hot water-it can go much further distant than the coffee. _Others: Decor wise there is nothing special but there are sufficient numbers of arm chairs cramped in with hard chairs and bistro tables. The acoustics is alright but once the cafe gets crowded the reverberations could send pulses to my brain and give me a headache. Hence I prefer to buy what I need and enjoy the rest outdoor at Lafarge lake across the street or sit outside. _Over the past 10 years we had seen price increase admits fierce competition of other coffee places, yet Caffe Divano had never fail to retain its loyal customers like ourselves, until recently when they ditched their reward program (aka Belly scanned card) where occasionally you get a free item. _How to take in the food and leave the bad: We still go there but only for the baked goods and take it to go where we get better coffee elsewhere. It's already been 10 years I don't have high hopes they will upgrade the coffee beans anytime soon. My criteria Food freshness and taste:4/5 Coffee quality (not barista fault): 2/5 Tea quality: 4/5 Value:3/5 Decor, cleanliness: 2/5 Comfort (seating and acoustics): 2/5 Total: 17/30 read more

Caffe Divano - Caffe Divano cafe mocha with a friendly touch. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

I'd say this place has gone downhill in the past few years. Their americanos are still top notch, and the baking is from Gabi and Jules, so very nice, but their system of ordering and picking up your food needs to be tweaked. My friend purchased my coffee and scone for me and I had neglected to ask for butter and jam. The scone came with a plastic knife for some reason despite nothing to spread. I returned to the counter, picked up my coffee and asked for both butter and jam and was given a plastic container of butter and another plastic knife. I might mention that in the past, butter and jam came in a washable ceramic container. I again asked for the jam and it took some time and then I was told I had to go stand back in line and pay for it. Well i was now juggling my coffee which was on a saucer, and the butter and second knife. My money was at my seat across the restaurant where my friend was waiting. And there was a line up. I decided to forgo the jam as it would have taken another 10 minutes to pay. Coffee was getting cold. Friend and scone were waiting. Scone was tasty but a bit dry. I'd say I would only go back under duress. (someone else's choice) This was not the pleasant relaxing post-workout experience I was hoping for. I emailed the restaurant afterwards and did not get any sort of response. read more

I woke up super early so I decided to get myself some breakfast and coffee. The sun was out and the birds were chirping and I was feeling good! I went to Cafe Divano as I love their baked goods and coffees and they just have a super cozy atmosphere. Perfect for mornings. Today I got their "Divano Breakfast Sandwich" which was good but small and new "Maui Muffin" which is filled with mango, pineapple and coconut. The combination sounded SO good but I'm not sure if it's the one I got but it was soooooo beyond dry and stale. And the service I've been receiving lately at Divano is quite cold and rude.. Such a disappointing visit, might be a long time until I return. I'm giving it a 2 because although my visit this time and service was horrid, my past visits have been solid. read more

Caffe Divano - www.instagram.com/foodieappetite - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Just got takeout from this cafe and loved it! I had the Divano breakfast sandwich which was delicious - egg, cheddar, tomato, bacon bits with pesto & a house-made tomato jam on a brioche-style bun. Great flavours & good value at $7.25 - very large and filling! Also had an Americano which was great. My partner got the breakfast wrap which he was also very impressed by. Service was super friendly and reasonably quick. Lots of patio tables available if you'd like to sit. Will definitely come back here! read more

The cafe has a nice atmosphere and layout. The draw backs are the lack of quality customer service and ability to remember a simple order. The service is lazy and lacking. There is a tall brunette who has been working there for quite a while. She is rude and unfriendly. The food I ate was not fresh. It was also expensive. Like "huh?!" read more

The teenage staff need better customer service training. 3 girls behind the counter were busy gabbing, they did not care customers were waiting to order. 1 young Asian guy cleaning up was the only helpful one. Coffee was weak. I'm not a big fan of mega chains like Starbucks, but business like this one should be replaced. read more

Mediocre coffee and food at best, very rude staff. As we were trying to place an order with no one waiting behind us the serves started to talk rudely and loudly over us, if i didn't have my 4 year old with me wanting to eat i would have left right away. Will not be returning read more

I've been to all 3 of Divano locations but I usually find myself at this particular one. It's a nice local coffee shop. They did some renos couple years ago which made the place WAY more spacious and a bit more trendier. They usually have a lot of fresh paninis, salads, quiches, scones, and other baked goods if you visit during the first half of the day. My go-to's for coffee here are usually lattes, americano mistos, mochas, and iced coffee. I tend to avoid other fancier drinks here because of the price. I will say that I splurge on their Pumpkin Spice latte cause it's one of the BEST I've ever had. Also, If you order a fancier drink, you usually get a complementary biscuit/tiny cookie! A downside (besides price) is that when this place is around half capacity, it gets loud. All in all, It's a place I'll hit up regularly to catch up with my girlfriends and enjoy a nice caffeinated drink! read more

Latte is better and maybe cheaper than Starbucks latte for sure. They have three kinds of latte I believe: Caffé Latte, Spanish Latte, and Green Matcha Latte. The last one falls under the Tea menu though, so I assume it consists of more tea than coffee. 3.89+tax for a small Spanish latte by the way. The toasty Chicken Club sandwich was reminiscent of the sandwiches I had at Thomas Haas, that extremely popular sweets shop and cafe in Vancouver. Plenty of seating available here. You'll only be able to find a couple tables that can seat 4 people however. All the other tables can only seat 2. Wifi is still under the former name of the business: Cornerstone. Ask the barista for the password because they don't show it anywhere. The 2-chair tables are too close together though. A few electrical outlets, but when I plugged in my laptop, my laptop wasn't getting charged. Outlets but no electricity. That really irritated me. Ugh, c'mon. I own a PC!! PCs aren't known to have long battery lives, but I love PCs more than Macs. Surprisingly quite warm inside. They support local artists, as there are scenic paintings hung up for sale. But yea, this no-electricity thing for my laptop got me docking two stars. Yeah, it's a big deal for me. read more

I really love how spacious and easy going this location is. The teas and pastries were good, however, I was not a big fan of the Americano. Kind of sour tasting. Also, I was a bit disappointed that so many of their outlets don't work. With that said, I will continue to go here for its overall serene atmosphere. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday. This little cafe is pretty nice, the food all looks really good (I didn't try any this visit, maybe next time) but I was seriously disappointed with my chai tea latte. I ordered a small, thinking it would be about the same size as a starbucks tall size but it was quite a bit smaller - almost kid-sized. So the size was a disappointment, and the latte itself was...interesting. First of all they gave me 3 cups stacked up together (why? I have no idea - it wasn't that hot so it wasn't to protect my hands...) and while the latte art was pretty, the drink itself was a little "off". I like strongly spiced chai and this was definitely strong and I had it made with almond milk - it had good flavour that I enjoyed, but there were chunks of tea floating around that really put me off. Almost like they used loose-leaf tea without a strainer. I left the last inch or so of my drink in the bottom of the cup because it was almost entirely just tea chunks and I found it quite gross. For $4 honestly I am really disappointed - the tiny size of the cup, plus the weird floating bits of tea, and the fact that I couldn't stomach the last few sips of an already small size...I definitely feel like I wasted $4 and it was not worth it. If I come back I will definitely be ordering something different next time. I've got my eye on those vegan orchard fruit cookies! More vegan food options would definitely entice me to come back and try this place again. read more

I like this cafe but nothing really popped for me until a few weeks ago. I've come to this location quite a few times and its always been satisfactory. I don't know if it is the manager or what, but the service was exceptional! They were all in high spirits, tons of laughter, conversation, and were engaging the customers, which I thought was great. My Americano was really well pulled and the chocolate that I asked for was just the right amount. We had the Lemon Coconut Bar and Chocolate Silk Cake. Silk cake....... I don't get it. It was good, but I found the cake to be very hard. It was sitting in the fridge so I guess the chocolate hardened up, but then after some time it did soften up and it was de, wait for it... licious! The Lemon bar thingy was awesome! I would definitely go for that again! =) The place was packed at the time we were there, but just big enough to have a frequent turnover of seats. Thanks guys and gals! :) read more

Their coffee and food is tasty enough, but a bit over priced imo. Honestly I find Starbucks cheaper. The staff are ok, a couple girls are friendly but last time I was there I felt like I was bothering the one barista with my questions about their coffee. Also, the one owner Pat (I think it's a husband and wife that own it) comes off kind of rude and arrogant. I've overheard him talking to his staff and he kind of sounds like a jerk tbh. It appears there is high turn over at this location so that might be why. To be fair though I haven't gone here since the lockdown because I would go here when I was studying at Douglas so maybe it has gotten better. read more

Relaxed atmosphere good food and excellent beverages. I will definitely be going back again

Stop here before taking transit downtown because their coffee is so good! The food is also delish and the staff are always very friendly!

Tall girl in the early morning very unhappy....lattes are always luke warm even if asking for extra hot...GF Pineapple Muffins are always burnt on top and dry...Klahanie location is same when it comes to staff...coffee...muffins...Hastings location has "Happy" staff....Coquitlam location is extremely dirty and dumpy read more

My go to coffee shop! The staff here are amazing and really know how to make a solid americano. The space is large enough so you can read on a nice arm chair and hangout or grab yourself a table and cram for an exam. The sandwiches are great and filling, the quiche is always freshly made and when cookies come out of the oven the smell envelopes the whole caffe. read more

Great spot in a great location. Coffee and scones were fantastic! Comfy chairs and free wifi

The cashier and the support staff were understaffed but it shouldn't be an excuse for them to forget about my order. I waited for almost 15mins for a slider that should have been heated up within 5mins. Orders after me were being served and they completely go caught forgetting whe I asked my order. Very bad customer service. read more

Didn't have a problem paying their prices because they had fair portion sizes. Now their baked goods such as scones and muffins have significantly decreased in size while their prices remain the same :( won't be going as frequently anymore... read more

Same great espresso and baked goods as the Port Moody location, but not the same service. Staff in Port Moody have always been friendly and helpful, 2 days in a row this weekend staff in Coquitlam location were unfriendly even after leaving a 20% tip. read more

I used to really like Divano. I love that they do Spanish lattes. But this is not a place you can come and work. There are only two outlets in the whole place, and the wireless does not work in the back where they are located. So basically, don't bother coming here if you have anything to work on at all. read more

My second favourite after 49th Parallel! Try their Chocolate Zucchini muffins, it's a must and tastes like nothing else. read more

First time here and was very happy with the quad Old School Espresso they served from Forty Ninth Parallel! 5 stars!!
