A very small cafe but limited items. We stopped here for a coffee and a quick bite. Their coffee was very watered down but the citrus cake we got was really good! Staff were friendly :) read more

Great coffee shop that wasn't overcrowded, which is what we were looking for. Short walk from the Broadway station, and we got an iced latte as well as the espresso tonic. Both were delicious and the service was friendly. There's also a washroom in the back. It was pretty busy when we arrived but around an hour later when we left, it was empty. I noticed a lot of people buying their beans as well. read more

Modus Coffee Roasters - Iced latte and espresso tonic - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Service is sloppy. Got there at initially at 819am because hours of operation via google and Apple Maps shows 8. They turned me away and said they open at 9am. Come back at 950 to purchase roasted coffee and they turn me away because they said "modus" is closed and they're only serving coffee. I think that's what she said but accent was a bit too thick so not sure. All in all sloppy service from this location. Heading back to San Francisco empty handed and a Modus experience I'll definitely will try to forget read more

Great place to start the day! Their pour overs are personal sized so don't feel bad in ordering more! I ended up also ordering a piccolo both which were yummy. The croissant was flaky and really yummy as well. They ran out of their other toast so we ended up getting an avo toast. The avo toast is Asian influenced and includes sesame and chili. It was definitely an avo toast I've never had before. It was a super unique experience. Overall super cute coffee shop with great service and good breakfast! read more

This quaint coffee shop is surprisingly good. Been coming here several times to meet up with colleagues for an 8am connect. They have all the fancy drip coffee apparatus but I defer to my drink of choice - the cappuccino. The baked goods are made on premises. The Kouign Amann and the Galette are my favourites. Some of the best in Vancouver. The Croissant does not disappoint either. This is one of the friendlier specialty cafes. No ego nor snobbish behaviour. Feeling the love Modus! read more

Modus Coffee Roasters - Cozy spot for a coffee on a classic rainy day in YVR. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The aesthetic, vibe, and menu are exactly what you would expect from a hip Vancouver coffee shop, and they pull it off. I had high expectations since all the pictures I'd seen of the food looked scrumptious, and everything tasted just as good as it looked. Their menu rotates frequently. From the selection when I visited, I had the yuzu avo toast with a poached egg, strawberry jam-filled coffee cake, and a tamarind espresso tonic. The espresso tonic was definitely not something I'd usually go for, but I was intrigued by this combination of flavours and I thought it was a super interesting taste. I thought the espresso added a smoothness to the tart tamarind and tonic that was very pleasant, and I didn't feel like the other flavours masked the flavour of the espresso. I don't know if I'd get it again but I'm definitely glad I tried it, and I enjoyed every second of drinking it. The avocado toast - first of all, it's one slice of bread, but it's a huge slice of bread and absolutely worth the money. The Japanese flavours in this were delicious, I loved the generous sprinkling of seasoning. Finally, the coffee cake was also fantastic. They warmed it up for me and the texture was so good, it was almost like it melted in my mouth, and it seemed like they used a good quality jam. The staff was all very helpful and pleasant, and the space is comfortable and neatly decorated. Prices aren't cheap but not unreasonably high, and they reflect the quality. read more

**COVID WAVE 2 REVIEW** This place is right next to the old MEC. The interior is pretty chill pink and green decor. Hand sanitizers are available. There's a couple of patio tables outside, and a couple of tables inside. Ordering a cappuccino as usual to test. It costs $4.25 for a 6oz. Not the cheapest around. The milk is kind of creamy, the coffee itself tasted more acidic than we liked.I like my espresso based drinks strong and matches to the creamy texture to create a great balance, and this place didn't satisfy it. Parking is available on Broadway all day during weekends, and non-rush hour on weekdays. Be ready to sink another $2/hr to park. Otherwise, parking is available in the streets behind Broadway. Onward to another place. read more

Modus coffee. An odd spot. Positives: Bright, open, and clean space with a nice aesthetic (exposed brick, plants abound, pink wall). Use local Nuez brand for nut milk. Donuts looked scrumptious but I had enough willpower to hold back so really can't comment on food other than appearance. They played funky hits that I would expect at disco rollerblading, yet somehow worked with the vibe in here. Negatives: No hi or warm welcome when I walked in, but the baristas seemed very smiley and friendly to two obvious regulars behind me in line. I thanked them twice for the drink and received stares in response. For some this may be no biggie but I personally found it off-putting. Why work in customer service if you don't like interacting or at the bare minimum acknowledging people? Very small (8 oz) flat white with oat milk for $5.50!!! Beyond being bad value, it was way waay waaay too acidic for my taste. I believe they used dom beans from Colombia. Anyway...enough complaints. I can sum it up by saying I won't come back for coffee, but might if they start hosting 1970s flashback parties. That was a solid soundtrack. read more

I really want to support local businesses. I really do. But when I take the time to go to one during their posted hours, and they've already closed 20 minutes early, it makes it really hard for me to do so; especially when I can have the same product delivered to my door. I was there at 340, the sign on the front said they close at 4, so here we are. At least it's not raining. read more

4.5 stars near to perfect spot for coffee Last spot on my tour of Vancouver and I somehow wished this would have been my first. This micro roaster is not in the downtown core but please do not let that stop you from taking the trek to enjoy some of the best coffee Vancouver can offer. I arrived early Saturday morning right before my flight out and my brunch down the street. I knew that I would be needing a good cup to kick my butt into gear so this would be needed. I didnt realize that the flavour would be this good. In the morning, they had a full shelf of baked goods for you to chose from. There are a lot of sweets here for you to get your sugar high if you want it. There are also some gluten free items (I'm sure of it or I'm imagining it and I'm sorry!). As for the service, top notch... the two owners and people actually roasting the beans were serving and it was great to learn from them. They were able to help me chose a bean that I would like and bring back with me. They were so patient and just willing to offering their thoughts. Flat White - Just ... so ... good. Rich, smooth, and very easy to drink. The bean was Dom and it's the perfect gentle wake up you'd need in the morning. Very minimal acidity but a full flavour of coffee to make you smile while you drink it. I did taste a bit of a brown sugar and coffee note which helps distinguish it from just the average 'good bean' out there. 4.5/5 For me, I loved it so much that I bought a bag to take it back with me on the plane and I already had 3 bags in my suitcase. BUT just enough to space to make sure I could bring home Modus with me. Amazing spot... support local businesses especially ones this good. read more

Bloom Away... Modus has the finest quality coffee beans that I've ever tried. The light roasts I've tried so far are excellent, the beans produce delicious coffee. If I could afford to purchase these beans all the time I would, but for $22 for 250G of beans is just too expensive to buy on the regular for me personally. This is the place for you if you are into the finer specialty coffees. They also offer free delivery and a discount if you order over a certain amount on their website which is cool. SUPER SMOOTH ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS LIGHT ROAST COFFEE. read more

This is truly a hidden gem. The owners, a local couple, are the sweetest and they've put everything they are in to this place. The coffee is freshly roasted in small batches and is absolutely divine. True coffee aficionados will appreciate this place. The treats are incredible too. They're unique and artisan style. This is definitely a spot you need to check out. read more

I've always liked this little coffee shop, but have been a sporadic visitor since it opened. However, now that Kafka's on Main is closed, I will likely become a more frequent patron for its friendly service, quality coffee and delicious baked goods. read more

Beautiful space that offers a great selection of coffees. You'll find everything from espresso, milk based to pour overs here. Coffee beans are excellent, well curated and staff is friendly. Pastry selection is quite good and the ambiance there is very nice with friendly and helpful staff. Great spot for a coffee date! read more

Bummer. It was underwhelming. I ordered the magic (saffron and cardamom) latte. I couldn't taste the cardamom and barely the saffron... and it was lukewarm. That was the worst part. Meh. We also ordered a mocha. Also luke warm. . . I wouldn't come back. The ambiance is very cute. read more

What a great spot. I have a quick stop in Vancouver and this was a great find. Coffee is delish, try the nut milk!

This is a fantastic new coffee shop in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood for coffee lovers! They roast their own beans in East Van and this location is where you can get a personalized cup of their coffee (you can also buy bags of coffee beans too). Each cup of coffee is personally prepared "pour over" style and they also offer espresso based drinks. There is a substantial selection of baked goods as well. My soy latte was perfectly prepared and you can tell the coffee is high quality and flavourful, not bitter. The owners are very friendly and happy to explain the varieties of coffee. They clearly are very knowledgeable and take pride in roasting and brewing the best beans. You can stay and enjoy your coffee as there are small tables, bar seating and a bench as well and of course they offer their drinks to go. Welcome to the neighborhood Modus! read more

fresh, modern cafe! only a 6-minute walk from the skytrain station. the treats are all dainty and bite-sized but delicious. i was surprised to get lovely latte art even though i chose an alternative milk! as for the coffee beans, they've got a mellow kind of acidity (not as sharp as 49th parallel's), so it might be an acquired taste. the barista was kind and the food was great! price-wise it was about 7$ for a treat and a drink. as for seating, it's not really for big groups and more for a small chat or for working. i had a nice experience and i look forward to returning! read more

Came here with my bf on a Monday early afternoon. Cafe was cute and modern. My bf and I had each had a specialty drip coffee for $4. He had one called Oncus which had a lighter taste and was quite floral while I had a Domus which had a darker and stronger flavor with chocolate notes. I liked mines more because I am used to drinking black coffee but it all depends on the person. They also served our coffees in these cute individual coffee pots which I really want one of my own lol As for our little treat to share, I was torn between the lemon polenta cake, the sweet potato bundt cake and the fig walnut bar because they all looked absolutely delicious and sounded very interesting so I let my bf be the deciding vote. His first pick was the lemon polenta cake but he quickly changed his mind and went for the fig walnut bar. He was hesitant with the lemon polenta cake because he wasn't sure how the polenta would taste like in cake form since we normally had it in a savory way. Thank god we got the fig walnut bar because it was sooo good! The fig part in the center was sweet and gooey like thick jam with some pieces of crushed up walnuts inside which went lovely together because it helped provide a nutty taste to bar. The top part of the bar was this buttery and flaky shortbread cookie which melted in your mouth and it helped cut the sweetness of the fig part. Overall, place was bright and clean, and staff were friendly. I wouldn't mind coming back here again. read more

Really excellent coffee (decaf iced americano) and a decent croissant. Service not super friendly but I was just grabbing and going so it was okay. Interior is nice - tall ceilings and fun pink walls. Worth stopping by! read more

While the coffee and food were fine, the woman who I believe is the owner was just so unpleasant. Sneering and snickering at your customers is incredibly rude, and it didn't escape my notice. There are plenty of roasters and charming cafés with delicious coffee and sweets in the city with far more atmosphere and pleasant service. read more

Excellent coffee. Sublime, smooth, great flavors. I could taste the bean without the associated bitterness. Reminiscent of the amazing coffee I had in Osaka. Great, convenient location near MEC basically turns this into a must-stop during any MEC shopping run. read more

If you've been to Melbourne, you know about coffee obsessions. That refinement of the dedicated barista; commitment to exceptional quality, and the complete esthetic of a venue that brings together all the necessary elements of taste, sound, attitude visuals into a comprehensive and satisfying experience. Do yourself a favour and sit down inside for 10 minutes. Take time to appreciate what you have and what a person can make. 10/10 read more

A welcome new addition to the hood. I came in here 'cause it was shinny and new and I wanted to see what it was all about. I came here and got a soy latte to go. The latte was really good and made the way I like it. The barista was super friendly and sweet. We just shot the shit for a good 5 minutes. Coffee was smooth. Prices were fair market value with other coffee shops. read more

This is an amazing coffee shop. Had a macchiato latte blend on ice which the barista was accommodating to make (not something on their menu from what I could tell). The barista was very nice and kind and quick in making my drink and also still keeping a pulse on the other customers who were coming into the store. Her and her two colleagues were seen to consistently smile and also seemed knowledgeable on not only their coffees but he sweets they were selling, as well. An added bonus was the music-60's and 70's RnB/Soul and just created a laid back vibe to reminisce and reflect. Anyone that plays tracks from Gil Scott, Todd Rundgren, Patrice Rushen, and Marvin Gaye is certainly a place to return to! Strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill space to work as well as to have great conversations with customers and the baristas alike!!! read more
