I visited Starbucks for new spring menu…read more What I got: Iced Cherry Chai - topped with a cherry flavoured cold foam withfloral and almond flavor and a cherry flavoured topping I think one of the best featured item I had in starbucks. Chai had strong flavor and sweetness was perfect. (I chose less ice) cherry flavoured cold foam was addictive. Very creamy and matched with chai so well. I will order again. iced lavender cream oat matcha -creamy oat matcha served with lavender cream cold foam This item was also great.. Lavender cream cold form was also addictive and matched with matcha. It was very delicious, too. Overall, I am so satisfied with their spring menu. I wish they offer this 2 items for permanent menu..!!

Only issue was the staff didn't speak English fluently. I had a hard time understanding her. Well she asked me if I wanted to load my card and I heard something else.

I tried their salads as a meal prep for my week (s). You get to choose either rice or quinoa as…read moreyour base and spinach or lettuce for your veggies. The rest are dependant on which 'type' of salad bowl you choose. You also get to choose between chicken or shrimp as your protein I've had the honour to try: -Bacon club (turkey bacon), you still get chicken with this option (3/5) -Creamy Coconut (2/5), my sauce tasted sour. Not sure if it was meant to be this way but I threw it out -Jerk Chicken (2/5), sorry but this one also had a bit of a sourness to it but the spicy kind of balanced it a bit. Still not one I would go for -Fiesta (4/5) for some reason the sour cream and salsa tasted so good -Mesquite Chicken (4/5), another of the better ones. The bbq sauce was great with the chicken but not so much for the greens. -Classic Keto (4/5), this one came with tzatziki and some peri may and it's pretty good. This one also comes with turkey bacon -Rancho (4/5), surprisingly the chili sauce mixed with creamy ranch works. I like this one. Really it all comes down to the sauce. Most of them were good but two of them threw me off. Not sure if it was a bad day or ... A bit far for me but I can see myself going more often if it was closer by.

*MUST READ* I can confirm I received salmonella poisoning…read moreafter eating at The WholeBowl. My friend and I ordered one "keto bowl" and a "jerk chicken bowl", both containing chicken. After a few days, we both began experiencing stomach aches and fatigue that could not be ignored. As the days went on the intense abdominal pain I was experiencing became much worse over time leading to when I received emergency medical attention. My physician was able to diagnose the severe abdominal pain as a degree of Salmonella from undercooked chicken. Being that both myself and my friend ate together at the same time and began feeling symptoms around the same time, we were able to narrow down where the Salmonella came from. As a personal trainer, I used to recommend this place to many clients. But after this experience, I feel its important to share my story so nobody else has to experience this type of attack on the body. Think twice before you risk eating here.

It is 23 degrees so assumably we bring this box on the ferry and it should be fine, it was supposed to be 21 at the very most. The chocolates are somehow a puddle. I tell me elderly father to explain what happened.. and he said the manager herself said no refund. It wasn't overly warm. Zero customer service.

They were the only vendor serving drinks (besides bottled soft drinks) at a food truck festival I…read morewas at, so I gave them another try even though I was totally underwhelmed when I tried them a few years ago. I ordered a wheat milk tea this time. The drink was decent, but I still found it ridiculously expensive ($8.5 for a "regular" size, probably about 20 oz). The price does include a topping (pearls or jelly), but I think it would be too expensive even with the topping. The service was also not great; they wouldn't accept personal cups and the person taking my order was very distracted while I was trying to order. So-so service isn't a dealbreaker at a food truck, but this didn't endear them to me. If it was cheaper I would give this experience a passing mark, but I just don't think it's worth paying gourmet money for a meh drink; I would rather get a nice bottled beverage instead.

It's small and cozy and has a small gelato selection. We ordered a soy latte because I am lactose intolerant. They do charge extra for non dairy option. I secretly think there should be a movement to stop the extra charges for non dairy option like we stopped the tax on pad. The coffee in the latte is not bad but overall the latte is less creamy than I wanted. Nonetheless, it's a good chill spot to study or have a coffee with a novel.

I feel obliged to update this review as it no longer is worthy of a 5 star…read more Here's why. This used to be my favourite Starbucks downtown Vancouver. Why did it earn my number 1? Well....the location, the space inside, the service and the great baristas, and all that is still there except one......great baristas. Last few times, consecutively my coffee was cold. You can tell when you hold a cup of coffee in your hand that its gone cold, right? I mean....there's no heat coming from the cup. So, shouldn't the baristas be aware when they serve coffee that's gone cold or stale? I think nowadays with this location they're more worried about smiles and hellos...which is good in its own right, but people come to a coffee shop for coffee. Unless you ask for it to be iced coffee ...it really should be steaming hot. I'm not being unreasonable, am I? This is to Starbucks: I get it...your focus is Coffee and not pastries or breakfast sandwiches....as your selection clearly demonstrates, but you're dropping the ball on what you do specialize in at this location. Long story short. Make sure to take a sip of whatever you ordered before leaving the store. It might be luke warm... at best.
