They have bar seating downstairs with enough room to work on a laptop. Upstairs seating and more isolated into individual pairs or quads of seats, some very dark (almost pitch black like coders' cubicles). Could be alright to work in, if you needed, but most of the table heights aren't particularly suited to laptop work.

I've been here a few times, and it consistently feels like your friendly neighborhood bakery. They usually put on something for the hot chocolate festival and that's always fun. On my last visit, I had a mango lemonade - you heard that right! It was creamy and delicious how the mango played with the lemonade, sweet and tart at the same time. It was later in the day, so the display case for lunch options was looking a little on the sold-out side. I chose the curry chickpea sandwich, they heated it up and served it with a salad on the side. This sandwich was everything. The chickpeas were mashed into a delightful spread and there was something in there that I couldn't place (sweet potato maybe?) but whatever it was only added to making the sandwich so yummy! The decor feels very vintage meets grandmother's house. I love how the plates are mismatched and the display case is filled with gorgeous-looking pastries. The staff here are all very friendly and help with suggestions too. No complaints here!

Line up was a bit awkward.. you're kind of forced to stand outside if it's more than 3 people, and then when you're in you have a short time to look at the menu or food case. Got the Jeremy sandwich which was full of flavour and my husband got the ham egg breakfast sandwich. Both great! Our drinks were pleasant. We also bought the churro croissants which were unique and pretty good! Lots of seating outdoors, not too much indoors. Staff friendly. Quick interaction.

Where have I been all this time????? And I am a devoted "dog mom", so this place is totally right down my alley! It's tucked away, though, and not so easy to find if you've never been here before, but it's SO worth the time to find it and visit! Hands down, this is the most dog-friendly place I think I've ever been to. Photos of patrons' dogs plaster the walls. Dog notices are posted everywhere. I believe this cafe was named for the owner's Great Dane. People bring their dogs here. It's as dog-friendly as they come. And I love that. The coffee and pastries are fantastic. I hear the lunch sandwiches are good, too. My friend has been here often and says it's consistently good. My biggest issue with this place is the lack of seating. In the summer, sure, you can sit outside on the various concrete half-walls and benches, and there's a large outdoor patio area with a lot of tables and chairs, but in the winter, or on rainy days, there are very few tables and seats here. FYI.

We didn't stick around as we were on our way to the Pacific Spirit Regional Park trails. However, the setting of the café was enchanting enough for me to come back with my husband two days later for Sunday breakfast. We ordered our americanos, breakfast croissant, and breakfast sandwich and found a table in the courtyard outside the chalet-looking building of the café. There is small park in the courtyard along with about half a dozen tables. It was still rather early on a Sunday morning before 0930. It was quiet but neighbours were starting to emerge for their morning coffees, yoga stretches and dog walks. The americanos were rich. Good sign before we tasted our coffee: they were not served in mugs, foamy, and dark. Our croissant and English muffin sandwiches were pressed. My croissant had cheese and turkey slices with an addictive spicy jam. The English muffin halves of his egg and ham sandwiches were so pressed that they did not resemble English muffins. However, he said it was so good with its texture, greasiness and flavours. I think I'm going to get that next time.

Quality was consistent with other Shareteas I've visited. I got a Ginger Milk Tea with pearls here…read more The flavour was really smooth and the ginger was well balanced with the tea - prominent but not overpowering. The drink also had an interesting texture from bits of ginger, which may not be for everyone, but I really enjoyed it! I got 0% sugar and think that getting a lower sweetness is a good choice so the ginger can cut through better, and the ginger itself has a slightly sweet aftertaste which makes up for the lack of sugar. The pearls seemed to be very lightly sweetened and were cooked well, nice and chewy. The staff here was super friendly! The shop looks small from the outside, but there's actually a decent amount of seating hidden around the corner from the counter. Everything seemed clean.
