To be fair I only had coffee - decaf - and it was really good. An americano. And they had cinnamon. Which always makes me like a place more. The place was super busy (truth and reconciliation day) but the staff were all really nice albeit exhausted. Didn't stay in because it was loud but I liked the ambiance and would enjoy hanging around there on a quieter day.

The açaí bowl was refreshing, and there are a few more toppings that can be added on for 75c each but do I do wish there was some more variety. Sea salted caramel latte was yummy, the bottom of the drink is the best part where the salt and caramel gathers. We also got the big kahuna breakfast sandwich in an everything bagel. It was a little bit bland and underwhelming in terms of servings for the price.

They offered a 15% discount, which I tried to use to sample their coffee. However, when I tried to do so, I was surprised to find out that the individual locations won't honor the discount.

Finally tried this place after seeing it a number of times whenever I was in the complex. Ordered…read morean oat milk latte, my usual coffee drink, and I was able to choose from 2 options of espresso beans they were brewing for the day. Also got a blueberry scone which was very buttery and delicious! I also love that they give you your drink order in real mugs/cups if you're dining in. The ambiance was your typical coffee shop -- quiet with soft lofi music playing in the background. There were high and low tables, some with comfy/soft chairs, while others had the bar style chairs. The tables each had the wifi password so for those staying a while and needing internet while working, you don't have to ask the baristas for the wifi password. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is I wish they would've provided more baked goods or food options. They had one sandwich option when I came in before 11am, a bagel option, and just a handful of different pastries. The shelves looked half empty so I'm assuming there's normally more options? Still good to try if you're wanting good coffee in the area.

Maya's at White Rock Beach is my go-to for gelato when I come down here in the summer…read more The ice-cream is popular here as well judging by the foot traffic & big smiles on people's faces after each lick. I find it a convenient spot for my cool down treat as it's on the strip right close to the foot of White Rock Pier, Canada's longest. Ask for samples first before you settle on a flavour or two. My favourite for gelato right now is still Bella Gelateria, in Vancouver. Maya's selection of gelato is limited, but 100% worth it especially when it's 35°C / 95F outside. There's plenty of restaurants nearby as well with several fish & chip spots & burger joints. Parking is a challenge along the entire strip, but if you're patient, unlike me, you'll find a spot so worry not. Keep in mind that the strip which runs along the beach, draws heavy traffic.

Hello from the Other Side!!!…read more Yup ... Your GTA Yelper is out in the West Coast enjoying the beaches, the wildlife, the mountains, the oceans... Ugh. I Just want to go back HOME!!! LOL! When in VanCity, do what the natives do. Go to the BEACH! There are several beaches to go to and when finished playing sunburn roulette, one usually finds themselves famished! Hmmm... Didn't have fish'n'chips for a while. In fact, it's been like dog's years and some. AND I saw Pelican Rouge on the way in on my e-scooter (yeah... love these things). This place is housed in as one of a series of small restaurants dotting Crescent Beach. Decided to just get something to eat. 2 pieces of Halibut, Chips, and some slaw. OUCH...$42!!!! Boy it better be good! IT WAS!!! NOT! You would be proud of the serving if you were related to Captain Highliner. The pieces of fish was small - might as well have been Goldie the Goldfish on the plate. And the CHIPS - don't call it chips, would be more in line with limp fries from Harvey's (I think it's the same frozen thing). The phenomenon called pay and tip before receiving the food - thank you Covid! - really is pissing me off. I had to pay for the food and tip before even knowing what is going to be on my plate. AND when I don't like it.. what is my recourse? The fish was not good - the batter was the only highlight here. I know this area is somewhat seasonal and can be a bit touristy but seriously, tourists are human too! FML! So... for all you peeps out there thinking BC got fish down to a tee. Well let me tell you, NOT. Simple batter and fry eludes them - thank the lord they still know how to cut raw fish and serve!!! Ugh... JEERS!!!
