Great Find on the Water

Cute cafe on Quayside drive with a nice view of the Fraser River.

Has vegan options and crafts!

I had their vegan/gluten-free chocolate cake which was very good.

Pros: Great location, on the water

Cons: Up charge for plant milk

Great location and great coffee with vegan treats

I always get the vegan breakfast sandwich and occasionally a vegan cookie but they have so many vegan options and some truly excellent coffee.with a lovely view right by the water. Unfortunately as of writing this they don’t have a vegan option for hot chocolate because the hot chocolate mix they use has dairy in it, but that’s the only downside.

Good options available

Cute cafe near City Avenue Market. Really beautiful interior and lots of exterior seating near the waterfront.

Grabbed some vegan gf chocolate cake, a vegan gf cookie and a drip coffee with a bit of oat milk.

Cookie and cake was good, glad they had both gluten free and vegan options. They also have some sandwiches and grilled cheeses that can be made vegan and gf.

Nice cafe ☕️ glad it’s in new west.

Pros: Customizable gf and vegan options , Desserts 🔥

Really great chickpea sandwich

Their "chickpea of the sea" sandwich is basically a tuna salad sandwich with chickpeas, and it works great! Unfortunately, I get my sandwich to-go and if you ask for the salad with it they put it in the same container, and the balsamic vinegar makes the sandwich bread soggy. I ask for chips on the side instead, problem solved. EDIT: Since writing this review, they now have to-go containers with multiple trays. Soggy sandwiches, no more!

I don't usually get coffee at all, the few times I do I just ask for drip coffee. They charge extra for non-dairy milk - understandable but disappointing - I just skip it. One time I asked for coffee too far into the afternoon and they were out of drip coffee, they offered to make me an Americano instead. I appreciate being offered an alternative, but I do find it weird that a cafe would run out of drip coffee, couldn't they just make more? I've never worked in a cafe before, maybe there's a reason behind it.

Great coffee and sweets

Stayed in New West for only one night but went there twice.

Loved that they had more than one treat for vegans and had a few cafe type meal options. Great selection of fancy chocolates, coffee and teas for purchase.

Staff were great too.

Pros: Many vegan treats, Plant based milks, Vegan sandwiches
