    On my last trip to Van I stayed in New West, about 3 minutes walk from Serious Coffee, so I stopped by here on some of my mornings for a coffee and breakfast. I got the iced latte each time which I liked, the coffee has a nice bold flavor. I also appreciate that they have sugar free sweeteners and flavoring syrup, and also that they don't make it too sweet, just right! For breakfast I got the lumberjack wrap which was just ok. After I ordered it I noticed they had a protein wrap in the display case, but it's not on the overhead menu. I would've liked to try that also, but I didn't get a chance. Overall, decent local coffee shop, I would definitely come here again. Oh, and they BLAST the AC super cold in here, which I personally appreciate, but I did hear a few others comment that it was too cold for them.

    Traditional flat white size

    A great addition to New West coffee scene and it is opened daily early in the morning too. I used to drive over to Delta on Sunday mornings for my coffee fix as those in new west were either not opened on Sunday or open after 12 pm. Fast forward a few years later and now there are more options. The location is great if you live in the downtown NW area or take transit as it is right round the corner. Driving is tricky due to parking. I had the traditional flat white which was pretty good. The coffee was strong and the crema/microfoam bit was spot on. The only thing I did not like was the sour aftertaste, that could be due to the beans used? The flat white itself was not acidic though. I also tried the cinnamon bun which seemed to be very popular here and was frequently sold out. It was nice but not wow for me. I will be back for the coffee and to try the food.

    Very lovely and welcoming staff. Biggest perk in my opinion is that they offer milk alternatives for no additional charge, so as a lactose intolerant human I'm very glad for this option! Americano w/ oat milk $4.70 (after tax) - Medium size Good size and price. Smooth & strong coffee that's not overly acidic or bitter. There's a sign by the barista's counter that says they will remake any drink that isn't up to your standards, which I find comforting that they value their quality. Great place to grab a coffee and enjoy on one of their outside patio tables.

    I appreciate having vegan options and the tea and coffee actually have flavour and are not water down

    We stumbled into the cozy new Italian place on a pretty dark rainy Vancouver night…read more The small intimate dining room was light with soft lights and candles .

The vibe is inviting without trying too hard, with just the right balance of casual and classy. We tried the Rigatoni Panna E Prosciutto and the Tagliatelle Papalina -- both were absolutely fantastic. The rigatoni was rich and creamy without being heavy, and the prosciutto added just the right amount of savory depth. The tagliatelle had a silky texture and the sauce was beautifully balanced -- subtle, but packed with flavor. You can tell the pasta is fresh and made with care. Service was attentive and friendly throughout, never rushed, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. The only thing I'd note is that the portion sizes were on the smaller side. That said, the quality and taste more than made up for it. Every bite was worth savoring. Highly recommend for date night or a cozy dinner with close friends. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu.

It's rustic in that honest, country way: wood, warmth, and a smallish-town Squamish vibe that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not. The location does half the work for the ambiance, the rest comes from the feeling that someone actually cares about feeding you well. This is home-cooked brunch with intention. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and every plate feels thought out, like it's been tested by real people who eat breakfast for a living. The pancakes are the headline act--huge, fluffy, unapologetic, and exactly what you want when you're leaning back in your chair wondering if you should order another coffee or surrender to a food coma. And if the night before got a little loose, the double Caesar is a public service: bracing, restorative, and delivered without judgment - oh my aching head. What really seals it, though, is the staff--genuinely welcoming, on their game, and clearly proud of the place. The Crabapple Café isn't trying to be trendy or precious. It's just very good at what it does. A must-try in Squamish, especially if you believe breakfast should be comforting, filling, and a little bit healing. This is not our first time, and definitely not our last. The cafe has become our way station before heading up to Whistler. CHEERS!!!

As the…read moresister restaurant to Maenam, you can really taste that same attention to balance, depth, and quality in every dish. My partner and I are regulars here. Some of our go-to favourites: green curry, pad see ew, gai lan with pork belly, and the Thai fried rice with grilled pork. The flavours are super consistent every single visit, which honestly is half the battle with takeout spots. Their rotating specials are also worth watching for m, and are always fun when there's something new in the mix. (my pictures don't do justice) It's definitely a bit pricier than your average quick Thai spot... however, the ingredients taste fresh and the portions are satisfying. Love the little thoughtful touches too: self-serve water station, compostable containers and cutlery, and an easy casual setup that works perfectly for a Quay lunch or dinner. I'm giving it a 4-star because the place closes at 6pm Mon-Thu and at 7pm on all other days. I always feel like I need to rush or have early dinner if I wanted to grab food from here. All in all, this is a solid Thai food option in New West. Basically, if Thai street food and elevated comfort food had a waterfront glow-up, this would be it!
