Reviews of Kahve Coffee (Coffee Shop)

Olga Lissey

Great coffee but slightly bitter to my taste. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich and it was delicious. The service can be a little more friendly.

Liam

Just okay

Simon King Real Estate

Love this trendy little coffee shop. Has really high end and cute items and lots of good food and snacks. I had their Americano and it was awesome. Super bold and rich! Will definitely come back.

Matt Grant

Was really cool and nice. Good hot chocolate. I enjoyed that they had a table for 6 people and we could hang out and sit around before our meeting. Would go again.

Matthew Lynch

Really great coffee

Great local coffee shop

(Translated) Good cut! (Original) Good cortado!

Anton Siedlecki

I’ve had a few of their drinks recently (chai latte and cappuccino) they do not taste good. I’d recommend sticking to their drip coffee..

Dropped in quickly on a saturday morning around 11am and grabbed two coffees, the coffee was really nice and the cafe itself has a very clean and modern feel to it. Would recommend and would likely visit again to try the food.

horrible service

Kenny Poon

A comfy coffee shop in a middle class neighbourhood.

Michelle Chan

Best cafe au lait I have been able to find so far in this city. They also stock phil + sebastien coffee which has fantastic beans/roasts.

gary mannion

Really friendly staff in a really nice space, selling food, great coffee and some nice household items for sale. The avocado toast is ????????????????????????

Serge V

Good place, great coffee!

Samuel Chen

Service: - The guy in the ponytail had no patience whatsoever. Didn't even let us finish our order. Coffee: - Incredibly watered down without any flavour. Just brown water and milk. Ambience: - Very dim and gloomy I do not recommend this place at all. Very disappointed.

Andrew Baylo

Good coffee, however the manager is very rude. Also saw the chef once shout at someone for missing the toilet and making a slight mess.

Hassan El Nahas

This place is nice and the avocado smoked salmon toast (came recommended) was fantastic. But I found the coffee too bitter for my taste. The staff were far friendlier to each other and to regulars than to me (someone walking in for first time). But that salmon toast is a huge 5 stars. Portion not big but makes you appreciate every bite even more.

Ezra Poplove

Great coffee and ambiance!

Sarah Taylor

Great coffee, friendly staff and although the avocado toast is a bit pricey, it's delicious!

Siobhan Williams

OMG - I came here cause I was starving and saw a pic of their Avocado toast - and it did NOT disappoint. One of the best things I've ever eaten! Such a cozy ambiance and lovely owners.

Violeta Jasel

Delicious coffee ☺

Hana

Everyone who says this place has the best Americano in town is correct!

Francis Gagnon

I had great expectations about this coffee shop. When we finally got there, I was not disappointed by the atmosphere and the modern design of the place. However, our espressos were far below my expectations ; they were lukewarm, one didn't even have crema, and they were plain, which suprised me since they were using Phil & Sebastian beans.

Sean Cho

Good coffee. Soso interior

Louise Vadeboncoeur

I ordered the Cobb salad! The freshness of the ingredients is simply amazing! Tasty, nice presentation, fresh, delicious... Perfect place for a quick pit stop to refuel for your day!!!

杜敏艺

Update: removed a star for sub-par service on my second visit. Love the cute interior and the pricey but delicious shortbread cookies.

Alan King Bowden

One of the best coffee shops in town for people who know coffee. Great selection of beans, excellent baristas.

Everett Krohn

Great coffee and Smoked Meat sandwich

Andrew Lim

Y'know what. Good crema on the Phil and Sebastian beans! Staff are very friendly and the interior is nice with lots of lighting

David Anthony Childs

Not sure why they sell necklaces and wallets. It makes no sense. If you are in a hurry this really isn't the place for you.

Armand Rashid

Expensive but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself to an artisanal cup of coffee. the staff seemed very knowledgeable about their products.

Vancouver Coffee Snob

Amazingly good food, a top notch coffee program and a stunning venue. I've been coming here for years and it's one of my favourite coffee shops in the city.

Denise Hampson

This is my favourite coffee shop in all Vancouver

Alex Benjamin

Very good coffee - barista knows what he's doing. Girl serving us might've just been having a bad day, but a bit unfriendly. It's Vancouver - we need to see some smiles!

Agent M

Great coffee shop. Very talented baristas.

Stephen

Good tea but overpriced.

Talatcan Uysal

This place was just amazing and staff was super nice to me. It is really hard to explain with words that how delicious was my brunch. Just drop by there!

D R

Amazing everything????

sara vickruck

Too expensive for what they offer.

Brian Bouma

Great space

Jessica Elliott

Update OCT 2018: I no longer live in the hood, but still come every so often. The crew have really stepped up their game in the food & drink department! So many choices to choose from. One of the best in Vancouver! I visit this cafe on average twice a week for sit down meetings. I absolutely love the atmosphere, during the day at odd hours it is quite so it's a great place to have a business meeting. There drinks a great but a tad lacking in variety (Priced just on the higher side than most). There food is good, clean, healthy food all made in house and really well presented! I really love going here, its a 50 second walk from my house & my neighbourhood staple!

John Lee

Great spot for food & coffee. Phil & Sebastian coffee is mainly used here. It's a cool space with a bit of retail thrown in displayed on an entire wall.

Nikki Siu

Neat little place to grab a tea or coffee and a light lunch

Marion Anderson

Best latte I have ever had. Delicious.

Sebastian Rakowski

Decent coffee, good location but somewhat cramped inside.

David Opp

Use P&S coffee beans. Few other Vancouver cafés step it up and are willing to source the top coffee

Greg

Coffee ok, ambiance no.

Daniel Henderson

Absolutely incredible attention to detail. Best Americano I've had in ages.

Saeed Alizadeh

It was a great experience. I love the food, latte and design but unfortunately the noise of the coffee machine is a little bit high. That's why I am give 4 out of 5.

Hadi Golkarieh

My favourite coffee spot near kits point

Claire Schouten

Don't bother. Overpriced food and average coffee that they don't bring to you, even if you're in hands reach away. Also have to put dishes away yourself. Why was the sandwich $10 again?

Vancouver Barista

Friendly proactive service. Serving espresso based drinks by Vancouver's Elysian Coffee. They do their own baking and carry some baked goods by Gastown's Cadeaux Bakery. Lots of seating, all barstool. Very modern space that also sells high end kitchen products by Enflux.

Matthew Sims

Best coffee in kits. Their Baristas know what they are doing for sure, great beans and They are now making their own almond milk also for those who indulge and it's incredible. Their food game just got stepped up too. Highly recommend.

Alex Kwok

Typically friendly and very enthusiastic staff at KAHVE. Low key environment for a chill study session, working remotely, or just hang out. I will definitely be back again.

Changhyun Min (민창)

Seems they spent a lot on interior but not really fancy. Coffee is good with Phil&Sebastian beans

Jeremy S

Cute little modern coffee shop. They have delicious coffee by Philip and Sebastian. Also have to try the effervescent kumbacha drink. The lemon coconut bar is to die for! Service was very friendly and staff were nice!

Jonathan Polak

I work near a coffee roaster and the baristas there recommend this place. They know coffee here and do great espresso based drinks, haven't tried their drip yet . They get their coffee from a roaster in Alberta and never tastes burned.

David Turnbull - TurnFit

I love this coffee place! Get the avocado on toast it is amazing!! I run my personal training company TurnFit at the gym across the street and come here minimum once a week for my post workout snack and love the food and environment

Yu-Hsuan Hsu

(Translated) The atmosphere is good and the environment is good. The store sells coffee drinks, decaffeinated drinks, light meals, bread, biscuits, etc. The interior is clean and bright, and the opposite is the park. The milk foam of London Fog is smooth, not too sweet or too greasy. Lahua is super deliberate, super cute:) The amount is moderate. Open Toast comes in three flavors. This time I ordered avocado and shrimp flavors. They are both delicious. No thunder ~ The avocado sauce is very dense and delicate. It is very refreshing and appetizing with cucumber, tomato and beetroot! The taste of shrimp is also very refreshing, different from avocado, it has a softer taste-the half-boiled egg on top is also very good. The store does not provide wifi (not public), but you can connect to the public #vanwifi, there is no problem with the network connection! The store has a notice that it is not allowed to sit for a long time or work or read in the store (the longest time to use a laptop is 1 hour), so it is not suitable for students who want to read all day. (Original) 氣氛好、環境佳，店家有賣咖啡飲品、無咖啡因飲品、輕食、麵包、餅乾等。室內整潔、明亮，對面對面就是公園。 London Fog的奶泡滑順，不會太甜太膩口。拉花超有心，超可愛：）份量適中。 Open Toast有分三種口味，這次點了酪梨跟蝦子口味，都很好吃，沒踩雷～酪梨醬很綿密細緻，搭配黃瓜、番茄、甜菜根，十分清爽開胃！蝦仁口味也很清爽，不同於酪梨，是較Q彈的口感～上面的半熟蛋也很搭。 店家沒有提供wifi（不公開），不過可以連到公共的#vanwifi ，網路連線沒有問題！店家有告示不能久坐或在店內辦公或讀書（使用筆電最久為1小時），所以不適合想要讀整天書的學生喔～

Sarah Closson

I had the caprese sandwich and it was just alright - not terrible, but not worth the price either, haven't gone back since. They do have good gluten free options if that's what you're looking for though!

Cody Watson

Best avocado on toast of all time, regardless of the size and price. This is the good life, my god is it ever.

Kelly Chan

Really nice staff and a good amount of seating. I got a London Fog which had a nice flavour and great foam texture. They have some cool knick-knacks on display for sale and a neat loyalty card storage area for regulars why don't want to carry theirs.

Christy Louth

One of my favourite cafes. Coffee is great and their breakfast egg on avocado toast is delicious!

Victoria Cowtun

Wish their coffee was at least mediocre after the attitude I got from the staff

M Donovan

Staff can't wait to close the doors at 4pm , turning away people at the door. Also closed all Sunday

Eliot CP

Great food, super friendly staff. Certainly one of the best cappuccinos in Vancouver and the Matcha latte is top notch. One of my usual stops.

Paria Rezaeinia

A very nice coffee shop with very good coffee.

Tim Graham

Clean!

Chris Brown

Good, small coffee shop with well sourced single origin coffees. Nice small bites and best Avocado toast with perfect poached egg in Vancouver!

Candice johnson

Friendly staff, GREAT COFFEE, safe covid protocols for indoor seating. Beautiful bright atmosphere, with the option to pick up some unique items , and the park right outside the big windows :)

chinmak

Friendly staff. Metered parking or free time-limited parking nearby. Home-made almond milk is a good dairy alternative - silky and creamy (not cheap, but quality makes up for it).

Karen Tovar

One of my favorite places, the food is always good and the coffee stands out for being creamy ande delicious and it's always great to see art on a cup of coffee ☕️ .The staff is always friendly!

P. S.

Great drip coffee here. They are always bringing in something new for you to try!

E C

A very good place for coffee or tea and a light lunch. The open face sandwich was very good.

Chris Paris

Nice coffee shop, organic tea and very clean

Tom Lane

Great space for a bit of work. Good coffee.

Austin Wang (Shee-An)

Good coffee. Very attentive staff. Light and comfortable space.

Anna Chiu

To give context I didn't tip. Got a black Americano and a croissant. Croissant came on a paper plate and cold/room temperature (could have microwaved), and a hair! Wonderful! Another customer across from me got a proper plate with her pastry. Not sure what's up, won't be back.

Simon Williams-Im

Super friendly and super relaxed. Perfect for a quiet read

Kam Dhillon

Arrived 340pm with family (4) to be ‘greeted’ rudely by a person with ponytail and glasses Awful service and attitude - focusing more on closing at 4 than providing customer service. Especially during this difficult times, I would expect someone welcoming people/ business!!

Yvonne Liu

Tried Kahve for the first time this morning, and I was absolutely appalled by the service (still am a bit shocked to be honest). Walked in with my friend and I said hello, to which I didn't get a response from the person behind the counter (I'm assuming she's the owner), and she just stared at me with a frown. I gave her my reusable cup and asked for an Americano, she responds with "so two americanos?" in an extremely impatient manner. My partner ordered and we paid, did not have a smile on her face the entire time. The barista made our americanos, we went to the counter to grab our drinks and asked for oat milk to top up our drinks (we're both lactose intolerant), and the owner turns around and says "that would be an extra charge". Seriously?! We grab coffee EVERY morning from a variety of coffee shops, and have never been told that topping up our americanos with a bit of oat milk would result in an extra charge. We didn't ask for an americano misto, you're not steaming the milk, makes no sense to charge us extra. Anyway, we weren't charged for it this time, but we definitely won't be back.

Carlos Romero

One of the best lattes in town..

Chris Hopkins

Distinctly different beans make this a stand out coffee house.

Will Bkly

Great coffee, friendly service, clean.

Henry Jue

Great coffee and great service. Very knowledgeable staff.

Reyanna Nicolas (Reyanna)

I ordered a Cappuccino, the place is very unique and clean. Give it a try!

Steven “Fastyvr” Fast

Very good Americano in a beautiful store

Md Sabbir Ahmed

Their customer service is below the standard. Behaviour is rude.

Karin Björklund

Coffee - great. Avocado toast - awesome. What is in that avocado spread?! It is so delicious.

Luba Gerega

No light roast available but I enjoyed the medium roast of unknown origin

Mahima Saini

Decent coffee, but a little to small for the price

Erin Graham

Great coffee. Friendly staff. Clean as a whistle. Good pastry too.

Maria N

Beautiful little cafe. The style of the interior feels somehow European. Had a Cappuccino, a Matcha Latte and a sticky toffee bun. Everything was really good, just a bit on the pricey side.

Cory Bensen

One of my favorite cafés in Vancouver. I'm a local here and love the design of the interior and the effort the owners put in to quality ingredients for their drinks and sandwiches. Not the cheapest place, but the quality makes up for it. Also, the nitro cold brew and nitro kombucha are amazing. They also make homemade almond milk.

Jeffrey Fan

Awesome coffee and great service. The decor is also cozy and welcoming if you feel like parking yourself down for a bit.

Gone AWOL

Good coffee

Ryan Shanahan

Great coffee, cozy space, usually quite busy on weekends.

Adrienne Sharpe

Super friendly staff and very tasty food

J Garnett

I am a loyal customer of Kahve and go at least twice a week. I am seriously disappointed as I had misplaced my loyalty card, and had to start another. When I found my misplaced card, I had exactly enough stamps for a free coffee between the two. Which, takes 12 coffees total for a free one, that’s a lot for a free coffee!! The girl at the desk said “sorry we don’t join cards, you have to hand in a full card no exceptions” Honestly I was shocked. Her reasoning was there were “too many wasted cards”. I will not be returning.

Joe O'Connor

Delicious oat flat white!

darryl humphrey

Unique, beautiful, great food

Jer Baum

Quite possibly the best latte I've had in my life. The staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.

Émilie

Waited in Kahve during my Speedy glass appointment. Got a london fog and a croissant. I was skeptical of the croissant’s quality because it looked baked offsite or something and was only $3 (usually good croissants are a bit more). Turns out the croissant was excellent! The interior is nice. London fog was a bit on the bland side but the cute heart on top made up for it.

Dan Wu

Aside from the great food the baristas here make one of the best flat white I’ve tried in Vancouver.

Jiwon Chae

I ordered macchiato thinking the Starbucks macchiato but it wasn’t the one I was expecting. It says just macchiato, not “espresso” macchiato. I’m not a coffee drinker so there is no way I would have known it. So I told the person who made the drink I didn’t ordered “espresso” but he was like “you ordered it” as showing the order note and said “It’s not like a starbucks’s macchiato”. I’m not sure if it was the proper way to talk to customer as if he has experienced the same situation a lot of times. If so, they could have made it more clear. All 3 of them who work in the cafe were just staring at me and did nothing. They didn’t offer to add some milk or didn’t even bother explain what happened. It was just like “you ordered this so you better drink it”. It was the most unpleasant experience in cafe I’ve ever had. I’m so disappointed at how they treat their customer and it’s very unfortunate that they could have done better.

Peter Renke

Exceptional food, coffee and service. Try the soup of the day! Big bright windows looking over a park. Enjoy.

Katie

The BEST oat latte I’ve ever had.

Jordan Scott

The coffee they used in my latte was a lighter roast which gave it a more acidic (slightly sour) profile. It wasn't bad; the milk texture was good and the milk tasted fresh. It's just my personal opinion that acidic coffees shouldn't be used in lattes which i think of more as a rich and velvety drink as opposed to the confused clashing of acidity and milk

Kevin Banno

Went here yesterday and had incredibly rude service from the guy in the ponytail. As I read through other reviews I see I'm not the only one - he's mentioned numerous times here. I spoke with the manager about him - shocked he's still an employee.

Marilyn Northrop

I love this coffee shop. The owner is so friendly and makes you feel so welcome with her beautiful smile. The drink and muffin special is a great treat!

Jeannette Vergara

This place used to be good but it has declined significantly. The staff is not friendly and there isn’t consistency with the food offering. I always ordered the avocado toast. From one day to the next, they decided to change the cheese from feta cheese (goat’s) to cheddar cheese and they didn’t bother to reflect that in their menu (it seems they run out of feta and just decided to put whatever else they had available!) I had to return my order and order something else. The owner wasn’t even apologetic and was more worried about me paying the $3 difference right away than fixing the issue. Needless to say, I’m not coming back to this place!

Brandon Strickland

Great service. I appreciate the quality of their espresso roast, but it does have a very distinct flavour to it, not my favourite. Shop has very trendy and modern vibe, not very laid back. All personal preferences aside it is a good little coffee shop!

I Ada

As a regular coffee drinker I was a big fan of Kahve as their coffee is really good. I was disappointed though when they put sweetened almond milk in my latte without asking and made it impossible for me to drink it. I have never had that happen anywhere before and wasn’t aware that the default would be sweetened vs unsweetened. You can always add sugar to coffee if it’s too bitter but you can’t remove it. Was very sad when I was just told I should have asked for unsweetened option when I wasn’t aware of the default and they didn’t try to do anything about it. Not a big thing but the experience counts as much as the coffee sometimes.

Jessica Gu

Coffee is ok especially among all other coffee shops in Vancouver

NIC Lin

(Translated) Great atmosphere (Original) 氣氛很棒

JJ Chung

Great coffee and espresso. They carry Phil and Sebastian coffee beans and their service is always good. The store has nice, open atmosphere which is very inviting. I have not tried their baked goods, but their espresso based drinks are top notch. If you enjoy the lightly roasted coffee beans that are nutty and flavorful (like the ones from Elysian, Matchstick, and Bump and Grind), you will like Kahve Coffee. So next time you want a great cup of coffee, instead of getting a cup of over-roasted and tired Starbucks, get a cup of latte at Kahve.

Kimmy Le

I absolutely love this adorable cafe! The space is beautiful and the drinks and food are so delicious! The owners and staff are also so very lovely! Lucky to have such amazing neighbours! Five stars all around!

Leesa Nguyen

Absolutely love this coffee shop.. their coffee is amazing here. Love their cappuccino and latte, their house made muffin is to die for and their breakfast are amazing too

duby Rootz

They all lack customer service skills. Ponytail guy consistently maintains an attitude. Just order and pay. Special requests or friendliness tend to be reciprocated with a blank look. Coffee and food is above average. Good location. Good aesthetics.

Simone Schneller

Absolutely fantastic coffee! Didn't eat anything but the food did look good too.

Audrey L

Very good coffee shop and Charlie makes always my day a little bit brighter. Highly recommend

Mati Kuroki

Had a cappucino, excellent quality, well above average for Vancouver standards. Friendly service, cool interior.

Savannah Petrov

coffee taste like europe very good and nice park other side of road. take boat from stanley park or take bike over bridge.

J K

(Translated) Delicious almond croissant and nice Costa Rica Pour Over. (Original) Delicious almond croissant and nice Costa Rica Pour Over.

Antoine Moret

Great coffee!

D Milburn

Casual euro styled upscale cafe with so many things to explore..hand made jewellery and unique artistic crafted bowls and coffee cups for purchase... really like that there is fresh cucumber water on the side to drink after a nice cappuccino...the massive floor to ceiling windows is definitely the highlight of this place with a nice open view for people or weather watching on a either a rainy or sunny day..

shitty

I think somebody peed in my matcha

janice wong

Kahve is a special place, warm, open, light-filled, an urban oasis that also happens to serve great coffee, treats (try the pecan chewies!), and delicious lunch fare. Our favourites include the daily soups, salads, avocado toast and the Korean style pulled pork.

David Kruyt

Great staff, great atmosphere and great coffee

Nawal Alotaibi

Great coffee and nice/helpful staff. Not many tables, all high chairs. Will definitely go again

Rawane Alzahed

Really disappointed! This is the third time i pass by and they’re closed. Today 10 am and still closed! On google you mentioned 8 am as opening hour! ????

crystal chandelier

Absolutely horrendous service today. I was a regular at Kahve way back when they opened in 2015, I used to come everyday when I worked in the neighbourhood until I had to move offices. Once in a while when I'm around I would stop by to grab some food or drink. Today, i don't know what is up with the guy at the counter but he decided as soon as I walked in the door that he was going to be rude (make me wait to order while he watches his co-worker make drinks; that's fine but at least acknowledge my presence or say you'll be a minute) and give me attitude. Okay fine, so I tried to let it go and still tipped - he doesn't say thank you. Then they make my drink, put it on the counter and doesn't call it out or even say thank you when I come over and pick it up. Man, I used to get so excited coming here to chat with the staff I guess those days are gone and I also wont be coming back.

ezekiel golan

Interesting designer products for sale on the shelves. Very quiet cool confident vibe.

Yoyo W

Great atmosphere, lots of merchandise on the shelf. Latte is ok.

Andrea P.

I used to go to another caffe in the neighbourhood but they screwed my mocha very often, and depending on the barista they will greet me or not. I changed to Kahve where my drink always taste the same way regardless who makes it. That reflects consistency and proper training of employees. The staff is super friendly, the baked good are great, the atmosphere is very relaxing!

Lawfu Smith

Food is expensive and overrated. However, the poor service was the most disappointing. To be frank, had the staff not been so ridiculously obvious with their personal preferences when helping different customers the experience could have been somewhat bearable. Multiple experiences with rude and short-tempered snapback responses from simple questions. Extremely unimpressed with the waiters as individuals let alone representatives of the company.
