Incognito Coffee

The coffee here is indeed solid, but do yourself a favor and skip the croissants. I ordered an almond croissant from here and I don’t know if this is normal for Vancouver but the croissant was stale, heavy, and chewy. I couldn’t swallow it. Felt like eating a brick of dough. The best almond croissants I’ve had around the world are light, airy, and flaky. Would come here again for coffee, but definitely not for the pastries.

Stopped here in the morning, to be welcomed by the most lovely and kind lady! Learning a little bit soon, come to realize she and her husband are the owners. Not only was the customer service impeccable, so were the coffee and pastries. Hot and fresh made every morning! The coffee had a beautiful decal, and tasted like heaven. The pastries were so warm and fresh and had good flake to them but soft and chewy. I had the almond croissant, chocolate croissant and the very yummy cheese feta/spinach filled circle pastry. Highly recommend this place, and forsure would come back the next time I'm around the area.

After having my late lunch, as usual, I love to go for a cup of Flat White as my afternoon energy quick-fix. I found people giving good rating for this cafe and it was nearby so I gave it a try. The cafe is inside the entrance of the VSO School of Music. To me, the place is not cozy but neat and tidy. I approached the barista and ordered my Flat white. The barista lady was a very cheerful lady smiled like sunshine and it made me feel warm in a slightly chilly cloudy afternoon. Same as the people commented, the flat white was good - both the aroma, after-taste and the simple heart latte art on top. They offer some other specialty coffee such as iced coconut mocha. I will try it in a sunny warm day. When I left, the barista gave me a warm goodbye. I love this place - both coffee and service. I will visit this place again.
