Espresso yourself!…read more If you haven't tried this coffee shop yet, you're missing out. Their roots trace back to Japan, and their commitment to high-quality Arabica beans really shines through. The coffee has an incredibly smooth, soft, almost umami-like flavor that's unlike the bold, bitter taste many people are used to. I'll admit, I usually prefer a stronger, coffee-forward roast, so this was a nice change of pace and a coffee bean I've never experienced before. The flavor was refined, balanced, and surprisingly good. I originally wanted a cold brew, but since they didn't have one, I opted for an Americano (I know, I know... why order an Americano?). To my surprise, it wasn't watered down at all. It was smooth, flavorful, and absolutely delicious from the first sip to the last. If you're looking for an intense caffeine kick, add an extra espresso shot or two--problem solved. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy something a little different. This place is proof that great coffee doesn't have to be loud to make an impression.

I visited Arabica at Richmond centre. I had visited Whistler's location before, at that time,…read moreMatcha latte was not available, so, I decided to try Matcha latte this time. First of all, latte art was very beautiful. i saw the process barista was making, she carefully crafted the latte art. Matcha flavor was strong. I ordered extra sweetness which paired with this flavor well. I found some powder was not fully dissolved. However, it was a decent and delicious drink. Very stylish design , the same as Whistler location

Went back again for their caramelized almond croissant. I had also wanted to try other pastries but…read morethey were sold out already. It appears that they no longer have the opening special drink deal where it was 99 cents per drink. That's fine with me as i didn't particularly enjoy their drinks. Without factoring in the drinks this time, i was able to bump up the rating to a 4 star review. Seriously, their almond croissant is a dupe of the version from the infamous chocolatier but at a fraction of the price. There were lots of almond slices on top and had a lot of the creamy filling inside. My only complaint was that it was a tad bit sweet on the top. However, can't blame them for that because the name of said pastry began with "caramelized" .

The space was calm but welcoming and not too busy despite being around 730am. I decided to order the ham and egg croissant sandwich along with a hot chocolate. Given we all ordered at once, the staff asked us to grab a seat and they would call us when our orders were ready. To our surprise, the staff actually brought over our orders when they were ready, insisting that we wait at our table rather than coming up to the counter to collect our orders ourselves. This was above and beyond what they needed to do, and they were incredibly friendly. As for the food, the ham and egg croissant was the perfect mix of crispy exterior, soft interior and a wonderful blend of flavour. The eggs were fluffy and light and the ham was flavourful, but not overly salty. The hot chocolate was delicious and was the perfect way to end my day. I will definitely be back again soon to try more of their menu offerings!

I've gone on multiple occasions to buy coffee beans from them and when I've bought 2 bags at once, they've given me a free drink (latte) which was so sweet! Their prices are reasonable for coffee.

We visited Coffee Loft for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival…read more What we got: Cherry Blossom Matcha with Cotton Candy Ceremonial-grade matcha with delicate cherry blossom sweetness, topped with a cloud of airy cotton candy that slowly melts into the drink. Ube Latte with Cold Foam Rich, nutty sweetness of purple yam blended with creamy espresso, finished with a silky layer of cold foam. Cherry blossom matcha with cotton candy has so instagram-worthy presentation! Not only it looks pretty, but alsoit tasted great! Strawberry puree and matcha paired so well. Ube latte with cold foam was good, too. Their espresso stood out and ube flavor came through later. I really liked their espresso which was strong and bold. Ube foam was very tasty. I really liked this item. Service was extremely good and friendly. I will revisit this place and would like to try different item next time

I was in the area and happened to walk by this coffee shop…read more Very clean and nice ambient. Because there was an adverisemwnt for a matcha so i ordered a matcha latte together with an almond croissant. I have to say the matcha latte was very disappointing. Either it was the matcha they use or the way they made it. the whole latte was tasteless, nothing more than a warm milk the almond croissant was ok. lacking almond flavor and very minimal almond. But overall it was alright for a coffee shop not specializing in pastry

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, they were out of brew coffee so I got an Americano with Oat Milk…read more(Americano $4.5 + $1 for Oat Milk). I also tried the Chocolate Cream Cheese muffin ($5), it was pretty good but a tad dry. The outside is like a dry Japanese-style cheesecake, and the inside is a regular chocolate cake, but the combo together is quite interesting. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I do enjoy coffee and need my daily dose, so I did find their coffee overall a bit acidic for my tastes. To each their own. There's a small Specialty Menu on the side that I didn't realize until after I paid, I would want to dry the Espresso Tonic or Orange Espresso. They also sell beans by the cashier. You pay at the cashier, and there's no screen to tip which I appreciate. I personally rather pay for a more expensive cup of coffee than tip, as I usually only sit for 15-30min, and take my own cup/plates away before leaving. Small cafe, about 4 small seats and a few by the bar so it does fill up fast. There's a large parking lot for the plaza, but it's paid parking only. Prices are pretty standard for a small local coffee shop. Overall, I'd recommend this place in Burnaby, walkable for both Royal Oak or Metrotown Skytrain station. It's a cute place to check out if you're ever craving a non-chain coffee shop in Burnaby!
