great stuff here. loved the smooth coffee, quality pastries, delicious sandwich. nice woody decor, good seating with offered outlets are also a major plus to the area. definitely one of my favorites for the area. nice workers and great atmosphere
Beautiful cafe for meetings or spending time alone especially studying or doing work. The staff are wonderful, super helpful and polite. Desserts and drinks are delicious.
Really enjoyed the cheese chive scone and Guatemalan coffee this morning. I heard that the baked goods are by the same baker/s as the previous business at this location (Bean Around the World). Indeed, the scone has the same good outer crunch and inside moistness. ?
Overall, a fantastic business and welcome addition to the local neighborhood! Staff are friendly and hardworking! Especially the guy from DC. The coffee is usually top notch. The layout is a little strange in the sense that you need to walk towards the rear of the cafe to line up. Hot food options could be better. It's been increasingly difficult to get a seat, which is great for the business. Not sure if this just campers on their CPUs or just an organic uptick in customers as word spreads but its definitely made me spread the love to other nearby cafes. Having so many options is one of the wonderful things about living in this neighborhood.
Simply delicious. Bright space and really friendly staff. The coffee cake and espresso is strong and flavourful. Lots of food and drink options - tea selections are available for those who prefer not to drink coffee. Would definitely revisit.
Very impressed with their coffee. Had the americano. Note the small and medium have two shots espresso while the large has three shots. Very nice coffee shop on Main Street with pastries and small sandwiches. Would definitely go here again.
One of the best coffee ships in Vancouver! The coffee is excellent and compares favourably to Their There, another fantastic coffee shop. Their food options are delicious and the staff are wonderful and friendly. I highly recommend you try Foglifter!
Google reviews have highly rated this coffee shop, so I would like to try it too. It did NOT disappoint me at all!I ordered a 12oz latte and raspberry white chocolate scone for takeout. There was lineup around 12noon but the wait was not bad at all. The coffee shop was full of people. Some were waiting in line and some were dining in despite of Omicron.I had a first sip of the latte. Whooaaa so smooth and smelt very good. The temperature of the latte was about right. Sometimes some of the latte I order from other coffee shop were very hot that it could burn my tongue.Honestly, my top pick to have the best latte in Greatee Vancouver would still be Prototype Coffee, but this Foglifter Coffee Roasters is good enough and it is comparable with Matchstick and Elysian Coffee. This coffee shop is passionate about making good coffee. They have some unique pastries and sweets. I only tried raspberry white chocolate scone. Oh man it was really good even though it was cold already. I could imagine it would be freaking good if I ate one right out of the oven!!I would recommend others to try their coffee and pastries if you are in the neighbourhood.Parking is not an issue. There is street “paid” parking but I personally hate to pay for parking, so I parked on a small street in a residential area and just walked to the coffee shop.
Coffee shops on Main St are a plenty, so when it comes to opening up a new one, service is where you’re going to win. Foglifter didn’t get the memo. Most people would assume that a lineup logically starts forming from the main entrance, and if that’s not the case, signage should be used to direct guests. We stood “in line” for a good 2-3 min with the staff being fully aware we were waiting to order…only to be finally asked to go to the the “back of the line” forming in the *other* direction. Seriously…you guys run a coffee shop — It’s not rocket science. Set up some signage if your queue doesn’t follow typical logic…and if your staff see that someone’s been waiting, perhaps consider serving them first instead of sending them to the back. Won’t be coming back — plenty of better options on Main St corridor.
My favourite coffee place in Vancouver. Great place for enjoying good coffee and pastries. Every single thing I've had here was carefully prepared, flavourful and had a nice presentation.If you're into buying coffee beans, they have a good selection of locally roasted coffee as well.I tried a couple of their panini sandwiches (Italian meat, and cheese melt) and they were both great. For dessert, the cinnamon crunch is delicious.
