I visited Nemesis Coquitlam to get some pastries…read more What I got: Pull apart - croissant dough filled with chives and cream cheese, Pesto mozzarella swirl -Pesto and mozzarella cheese, Ferrero rocher danish - Hazelnut praline, chocolate mousse, vanilla custard Pistachio loaf - pistachio ganache and raspberries. Pull apart was lighter than I expected. Other place's pull apart was so buttery, cheesy, however, this one was flaky and buttery, so, if you prefer light texture pull apart, you will like it. Cream cheese filling was nice accent. Pistachio loaf was more dense than I expected. It had pistachio whipped cream on top, so, cream helped loaf texture more smooth. Loaf had strong pistachio flavor. I liked whipped cream and loaf combination. Pesto and mozzalera swirl was a bit too salty for me. Dough was super flaky and buttery, I liked the dough texture so much, but filling could be more minder. Unfortunately, I did not have ferrero rocher danish. I heard that this one was the best. Mousse was so delicious and dough was very flaky and buttery. Overall, I think their pastries are always outstanding and good quality. The place was extremely busy and could not get a table. Next time, I wish I could dine-in.

The surprise was the apple danish which had this lovely custard like cream in the middle which complemented the apple cinnamon layered pastry. Would definitely come back to try some of their cakes sometime

Strawberry shortcake and Sweet potato cake…read more The strawberry cake is light and fluffy. I only wish there were more strawberries inside the layers. If you like sweet potato I think this cake would be perfect! it wasn't too sweet and fluffy as well. If you really like sweet potato, I really recommend their sweet potato latte (ask for it iced! So good )

I have fallen in love with their strong, frothy shaken espressos, and love watching the martini-shaker drama. I have gotten the iced drink with peppermint once and then hazelnut. I think next time I will ask to go a bit heavier on the syrup since the flavor isn't as strong as I'd like. I have also gotten a breakfast wrap, which was so reasonably priced, just like the coffee. A rarity in this day and age.

This is such a cute and cozy cafe... it's a wonderful place if you just wanna come by and catch up with a friend (or a solo date) or even just get some work done at a laid back space... this place should be on your list! They do have a good selection of items on their menu from sandwiches to breakfast bagels to coffees and smoothies. Plus some treats to devour as well which is so nice to choose from the variety. They do have some non dairy milk options if you choose that for your drinks. The service is so wonderful. The staff that were there were great!

The food was very good; I had the TBA and my husband had the club sandwich on (homemade??) foccacia bread. Delicious! The coffee was very good as well. My latte was perfect, with a pretty design on top. We sat at a window table, but there is cozy seating in another section, with a semi-walled off area that would be good for a group... or just some solitary quiet study, if it's not busy. They advertised an upcoming family game night, and service was friendly and quick. We'll be back! It's a nice refuge from the chilly weather, about 1-2 blocks from beach public access. Highly recommended.

I had a sip of everything. It was so GOOOD! The presentation of each cup was fabulous! Look at the colour of each cup on my photos! I would love to come back here and try other coffee beverages. We ate at the coffee shop, enjoyed the beverages and chatted for half an hour or so. We enjoyed the ambience as well. Customer service was great. The barista who made us the beverages was friendly, greeted us, and was patient to us when we were trying to figure out what we wanted to order.

We were in the area, and we decided to give this Persian cafe a try. Inside, it felt like a lounge…read more There was music in the background and the place was dimly lit. We were seated right away. We ordered a pistachio latte, apple crisp macchiato and Turkish coffee. We asked for the first two drinks to go and Turkish coffee in house. Unfortunately, our barista made all the drinks to go. We did not get to enjoy the Turkish coffee in a nicer presentation. Also, we kind of expected a sugary treat to accompany the Turkish coffee and there was nothing. Maybe because I am used to other cafes just automatically offering a Turkish delight or something? There was a cup of water to wash down the bitter coffee. Overall, I think their food is probably a better option than their drinks. My pistachio latte was alright. I could taste a hint of the pistachio. Service was alright. We received our drinks fairly quickly.

Had to make an "emergency" stop here to work as my area was experiencing a power outage…read more Brisk Cafe is a spacious western styled cafe. I was intrigued why they did not have an Iranian theme with some ethnic uniqueness to it. Perhaps this is more palatable to the general public. They serve cafe style offerings with some breakfast items, sandwiches and pastries. The owner relayed to me all coffees and teas they serve are organic!! She would also like to expand their menu to include a liquor license. So we shall see what happens then. Coffee is good. Pastries were okay. Pricing is slightly above average. Okay environment to work in if you don't mind the Mediterranean guitar music playing full-blast. Overall, their chairs are more comfortable than usual coffee joints in the hood. May return in future if work with RELAXING music is in the stars.

Excellent cup of latte and cappuccino. Truly one of the BEST brisket baguette and just I've ever had. They neither compromised on the quality or quantity. Everything was so flavourful, even the fries! I LOVeD every bite! Hubby ordered the fisherman's benedict. And since he's an expert in seafood (it's his career), he wasn't the biggest fan of the albacore tataki or the biscuit. He loves bennys but more of the traditional english muffin. But that's OK, the stars i'm giving is based on my food, which was incredible! Thank you for a beautiful experience, you guys are awesome and we will be back! Hubby said he'll order the baguette for next time!

You can explore the property and it's beyond gorgeous. The staff were all so sweet and welcoming! The property is beautiful, dogs and children have a place to run around and play, they have a small green house store on property, and a little truck to buy coffee and beverages. All the food is locally sourced and organic. Everything tastes so darn fresh and delicious! Definitely worth a try.

Unfortunately for the price ($9.00), the portion wasn't super big and I was a bit disappointed with the amount of fresh mango that was included -- it was mainly shaved ice. Compared to other bingsoo I've had, there was also a lack of condensed milk and instead just some milkiness in the shaved ice instead. While it was refreshing, I would have loved some more mango in this or an option to have a bigger portion size for sharing. For the price point, I probably wouldn't get it again.

1 Star -- Discriminatory and Hostile Toward Disabled Patrons…read more My experience at Gratia Café was deeply upsetting and reflects a profound lack of understanding of -- or respect for -- disability rights. I am a disabled individual who relies on a legitimate, clearly identifiable service dog. Rather than being treated with basic courtesy and professionalism, I was subjected to hostile behavior, scrutiny, and exclusionary conduct that made it unmistakably clear I was not welcome. Staff acted as though they were entitled to question or challenge the presence of a service dog, despite the fact that this is explicitly prohibited under British Columbia human rights law. Let me be very clear: Businesses do not get to interrogate disabled patrons, demand explanations of medical need, or treat service dogs as optional accommodations. A service dog is not a pet, and access is not conditional on staff approval, comfort, or personal beliefs. What made this experience particularly distressing was the demeaning tone and dismissive attitude shown throughout the interaction. Instead of de-escalation or accommodation, the situation was handled in a way that felt humiliating, stigmatizing, and discriminatory. Disabled people should never be made to feel like a problem simply for existing in public spaces with the supports they require. Accessibility is not a "preference" or a branding choice -- it is a legal and ethical obligation. Until Gratia Café undertakes serious staff training on disability rights, service animals, and inclusive customer service, I cannot recommend this establishment to disabled patrons or allies. This experience was not just disappointing -- it was unacceptable.

This is my favorite bakery in port coquitlam…read more What I got: Roast beef croissant Croissant budding Mont Blanc croissant pear croissant. I liked them all, especially, Pear croissant. Dough was incredibly flaky, and pear's flavor had a subtle salty I could taste, Sweet and a bit salty balance worked so well. Mont blanc was also great. Again, dough was so good, Chestnut puree was not too sweet and meringue on the top paired well. Croissant pudding was also delicious. It was not too dense just like the one I had in other shop. Sweetness was perfect, it was a great item, too. Roast beef croissant was a good savory item. I just got one bite, but, flavor was strong. Beef and mustard paired well, Dough was flaky, Overall, I highly recommend this bakery. Next time, I will try their cookies I haven't tried yet.
