Space is clean. I didnt stay or have any of their food though so cant really comment on more than that. Pricing is high but similar to other local coffee shops. If i was in the area I would come back for their special items. Overall solid 4 stars. A step above any of the big chains for sure. But it isnt good enough that I would go out of my way for it. If you're nearby though, worth a visit.

Lumiere Cafe in central Vancouver has been a gem to us. On a cold, rainy day after Christmas, we…read moredecided to stay in and get food delivered to us. Lumiere was on the list. We went with the garlic cheese bun, sausage English muffin, ham a lend cheese croissant, and the London Fog. The food was delivered hot by our Uber Eats driver and everything tasted amazing despite the 35 degree weather. The London Fog is what I have to really highlight. It is an Earl Grey tea latte with a hint of vanilla. I went for the regular sweetness level to taste the true aromatics in this 20 ounce cup. I'll definitely order it again.

My sister talked up their frozen matcha here and it delivered! I got the frozen matcha that they are known for and I added a little of the passion fruit syrup which is actual fruit. This was excellent. They also do the traditional strawberry as well. They also had the best cardamom bun I've ever had. Truly a must visit if you live here or you're visiting. The way they do the frozen matcha is amazing. Truly epic.

Both were delicious - the matcha latte with oat milk was extra creamy, and it was clear the matcha was high-quality. One of my favorite matcha drinks, ever! I also ordered a cowdog cookie, which I devoured before being able to take a photo of it - it was delicious and had great texture! Service was friendly, although the cafe is a bit small on the inside. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!

I could tell even from outside that it's a popular work and study type of coffee shop with your free wifi and outlets. I hope this post doesn't give it away and make it way too crowded for me to find a seat next time. There's a steady flow of people visiting the stores while I was there on a weekday between late afternoon and early evening but there's always extra seat for anyone new looking for a desk to work or chat with friends. A few could be better are the pricing and temperature. They offer free oat milk substitute and -$0.35 for bringing your own cup but no more employee discount. And it was so cold in there, I could see a lot of people kept their winter jackets on, I don't think it's a heating issue but the constant windy seems to suggest the AC is on rather than the heater, oh wells Im out of there now. For that reason, unless I'm bundled up, it'll be a hard sale to be back again! I got a hojicha latte and it as pretty good, perfect sweetness and temperature for my cold with no ice. The barista was super great to work with.

They also have dog treats and seasonal offerings (like popsicles in the summer). Their pastries are delivered by third-parties and therefore aren't always the most fresh. I loved their scones before they switched scone suppliers. Drinks are decent but, as with everything else in this shop, a little on the pricey side. There's a fair amount of outdoor seating with a little indoor seating as well. Outdoor seating is shaded and comfortable in the summer. It can get uncomfortably warm inside in the summers. Service is friendly but otherwise unremarkable. Café is in a residential area without a dedicated parking space and the residents of the neighborhood usually take up the street parking.

It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.
