Gene Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

The atmosphere (# ppl, music, service/staff) blended in quite perfectly with the mood I was in: pensive & calm. Not sure if it is like this usually, but it was how my one experience went :) I also interacted with a very friendly staff! I usually listen to my own music ... but I Shazam'd 3 or 4 songs 😅, kept my headphones off 90% of the time I was there. I just had a hot choco and a peppermint bergamot tea. Not something I would go back for, but I would consider going back for the atmosphere, and to try a coffee. Read more

Nice cozy corner coffee store on main. Great spot for coffee. Wifi and plenty of of power outlets.

I liked the pie shaped venue, and I loved their tasty vegan wrap. The service was quick and friendly. The price was reasonable and I like those big bright windows.

This shop is a small and simple operation, which isn't what I'm usually drawn to, but they nailed it for me today. I came to try the Polish Pillow! It's a unique drink - the taste is not quite the same as coffee but very similar, and the raspberry and ... almond flavour is very nice, not too sweet. I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine so I'm glad this is caffeine free! I also had their vegan wrap and a cranberry pecan spice cookie for my lunch while I was here, both of which were very satisfying. The typical coffee shop jumbo cookie is bigger than I usually want so I like that they sell small cookies designed to accompany a drink here (there are bigger ones too). The staff was polite, and everything I ordered was presented very neatly which was a nice touch. It's not the trendiest coffee shop, but I found the unpretentious vibe to be very approachable and refreshing. Read more

Quiet expensive corner and the inside needs a retouch. Ceiling is falling apart. I ask for drip coffee and girl told me NO more coffee at 4pm.... Weird because expensive coffees were available. I got a cortado which it taste ok.
