love this spot. the people who work there are really nice, there’s tons of space to work and its relaxing and cozy, and their pastries are so good. my favorite cafe in the area!

I'm so glad Bower is part of the neighborhood. Let me get the info you need here first -- the coffee and espresso drinks are wonderful, made quickly, and delicious. I had a small drip coffee ($2.25), perfect medium dark roast, plenty hot. We also got an iced latte for just over $3.00 (add $1 for alternatives to cow's milk), and it was excellent. The yogurt bowl was rich and had a generous amount of yogurt, a good amount of fresh fruit (berries), and granola with honey drizzle. Very satisfying.Now, I want to say the duo behind the counter seemed to know everyone who walked in. They were so sweet, kind, uplifting and cared about each customer. It was really busy when we went, and they got some of the orders mixed up, but took care of everything quickly and offered me a free refill. Just two splendid people taking care of all their customers while bringing joy to the community. I want to go back daily and be their friends.

Top 90% of dirty chais in my lifetime. Apple turnover was delicious. Olive oil cake was legendary - like every olive oil cake I eat for the rest of my life will be compared to this one

Unfortunately, this wasn't my best experience. My friend and I ordered a chai latte, one iced and one warm, and both were mostly filled with oat milk. Second, when we ordered their breakfast sandwich, one came out with a burnt brioche bun and the other didn't seem like it was toasted at all. Not sure if I would come back here again.

This amazing Cafe doesn't need my rating. But I couldn't resist. Spectacular coffee, rivals East side Vancouver. Chill but complex music. Great vibe from staff and regulars alike. A perfect place to perch while waiting for something at nearby hospitals.

Good coffee but poor service. Walked in to an empty cafe and told where to sit, that my table was “booked” and that the bathroom was “down” after an employee used it. I am fully vaccinated including booster shot (as evidenced by my certificate) and wearing an N95 mask. Please state “take out only” in future and don’t lie to customers.

Great place for a sit down experience. Cozy little cafe, and wonderful service. I had a couple hours till I could check into my Airbnb, and they let me sit inside till I could check in. It was greatly appreciated, and the bagel/fruit bowl were delicious :)

Wandered in off the street while waiting for a friend. Staff are wonderful and helped me find a drink I'd love. If I'm ever in the area, I'll be back

The bev was absolutely delicious, get it with the cured meat for sure. They serve la colombe coffee. Good croissant too. Cute place, great vibes. Wasn’t very busy on a Saturday morning.

Girlfriend LOVED the Bev (avocado toast). Their coffee and the dirty chai latte were damn tasty too.
