Reviews of Standing Egg Coffee (Coffee Shop)

Amber Bright

On lower level of plaza, tucked away at the very end of the row of businesses. (To the far right of the grocery store.) Cozy and friendly ambiance. Interesting, eclectic decor and soft lighting. Enjoyed chai rooibos tea & cookie.

This place has become one of my favourite go-to places for coffee, tea, dessert, studying, lesson planning, and socializing after having been turned over to new management. The cafe has a very romantic, yet friendly and welcoming vibe to it, and you can take some beautiful, insta-worthy photos even if you don't have the best photography skills :) Wonderful selection of beverages as well as desserts, from widely-known and loved sources such as coffee roast from Parallel 49th and cheesecake from Trees Organic, and Coconama truffles to name a few! Love this place!

The atmosphere lured me in. Very cute place. The coffee is overpriced and garbage. I got a $7 latte that was obviously watered down and tasted like watery coffee with a little milk (picture included). My husband had an Americano that was …

Got charge an extra 1$ if you order decaf option. On top of already higher than average price of cup of Americano. I think price is a rip off and I would not come back here. The interior design is quite nice though, that is why 2 starts instead of 1

Really appreciate the atmosphere it makes with the lighting and decor. Food was delicious, but would improve the coffee a little bit. Overall a great experience.

Has a warm charming industrial feel the minute you walk in the door. The coffee was flavorful, but may have been on the slight acidic side, but enjoyable non the less. Tried the chocolate trio and found it just the right sweetness to complement the coffee. Very instagramable and not just the decor. Their macarons were shaped like adorable characters from childhood tv shows. Enjoyed our visit, and we'll be back. ???? If you found my review helpful, smash that like button! Thanks!

Very cute macarons and good 'ice cream' cookies (they kind of reminded me of a butter or sugar cookie). Location itself is cute, with cool looking brewing things on walls. I had the blueberry tea (not pictured) and it really made me think of just hot blueberry jam but less sweet. Interesting, but tasted good.

Lori Golden

These macarons are way too cute to eat! We got 3 different super adorable macarons with different flavours. Black sesame totoro, Espresso Anpanman, and Earl Grey milk tea Minion~ we love their neat flavours, but was a little sweet for me personally tho. Overall nice and cute cafe great to come and enjoy a cup of coffee. Convenient location, kess than 10 min walk from Lougheed Town Centre Skytrain station too. Green Apple Italian Soda Assorted Macarons

Delicious little rustic coffee shop in the heart of ktown. Smooth jazz playing with classy ambiance. Although it was busy it didnt feel noisy or crowded. Drinks are fantastic and the key lime cheesecake reminds me of key west Florida. Try it ! You won't be disappointed.

A nice cafe in a tucked away spot. It’s nice and roomy inside and the menu has a lot of offerings. Their pastry selection is vast and you might have a tough time choosing! I grabbed a large latte and the lemon tart. Both were a great way to start the morning right! The atmosphere was really nice to sit and study, read a book, or chat with a bunch of friends!

Delicious tiramisu and Ferrero cake. A nice place for afternoon catch-up with friends.

Great espresso. Service was good. Terrible music. Too loud. I couldn’t talk to the person I was meeting with. Sadly the parking was really limited too. Cool decor. Hip little joint.

Imrahn Remtulla

Amazing coffee and a great atmosphere. Covid rules made my very neat coffee boring in a take out cup. It's not the fault of the coffee shop and I loved the coffee. So I didn't get the cool insta pic lol. Amazing staff who are friendly.

Andrew K

One of the main things I love about this cafe is the atmosphere. I love all the cool vintage/coffee collections they have displayed, along with the world map made out of string and nails on the wall. Music is bumpin’— love the k-indie …

Allen Chan

Great coffee and great selection of desserts too! Their Cold Brew coffee is a must try and their Spanish Latte is one of my favorites too! Great interior and great ambiance. Although sometimes it is inconvenient because there isn't enough …

Andy Lai

very disappointed to the staff especially the woman staff not nice and very rude and when I talked to her, she reply with a wry face. and also the coffee was very watered down.

Salome Lau

Chill vibes and a great place to study.

Yunny Hou

I was disappointed with my experience. Ordered an iced London fog which was too sweet. The barista added an extra splash of milk to "dilute" the drink. I don't think adding more milk would improve the quality of the drink. The barista didn't offer to make a new drink with less sugar either because she had "already offered milk" to fix the situation.

Panda Bear

One of the nicer cafes in lougheed. Although drinks and pastries are quite overpriced averaging ~$7 per drink. Drinks are good, but would not come regularly as it is expensive. Ambiance and seating is excellent! Staff is a bit strange …

Rebecca Li

I came here a few times now and I have mixed feelings about this cafe. The drink quality is great, overall environment is cozy, and seating is set up well too. BUT, the owner or employee there always has an attitude. One day she pressured my partner and I to order when there is no line at all and another time when I asked what a drink was she answered with an attitude. This is two unpleasant instances from many. I really wish they would hire another barista because everything about the cafe is perfect except her.

Pongo

Love the decor and the dessert offerings. It isn't cheap but worth trying for sure. They are right beside Midam on the lower level of the complex.

Eula Chua

They have nice selection of cakes and drinks.

Richard Lo

Very good atmosphere! I ordered their matcha yuzu cake and I loved it! However, I was very disappointed for their LondonFog... super sweet and no tea taste... I also ordered latte and it’s not bad. A very good place for afternoon reading and working.

Robert Cole

The café had a nice relaxing atmosphere with good décor. The Green Grape Ade was pricey, had a bit too much ice, and was too sweet.

Sandra Bao

Had a Chemex pour over of some Phil & Sebastien beans. Great cup of coffee! Decor is maybe a little trying too hard to show off all the coffee gadgets possible and barista didn't know a whole lot about the beans being served, but was still nice. Overall experience was nice.

Fiorella Armoa

Lovely little gem hidden in the hood. Great coffee and desserts. Quiet and warm atmosphere.

Shannon Chau

Lots of space to sit and it’s super cute! Not so loud where you can talk to others that you’re with. Honey latte was great

Love the snoopy macaron ???? Kinda pricey though but totally worth a try. Charlie one was ok. Friendly staff

Mimi JP

Oh wow???????????? recommend

Wong Wincy

Although they are a bit overpriced, their macarons are so amazing and cute. The atmosphere is really nice and chilled, so it's great for hanging out friends or studying. Highly recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth.

D L

The drinks are great. Sadly no gluten free options. The food looks good though and is charming. Great sitting area and conversational space. Quality coffee.

Kiera Duhamel

Really adorable sweets and great tasting pour over coffee! The pastries are so cute but the flavours aren't as pronounced as I hoped it would be. The cafe also looks really cool! Will definitely come back~

Yebin Seo

NOT RECOMMEND. The coffee is overpriced and the staffs were unkind. I felt uncomfortable while sitting at a cafe. They were keep staring at us and the way of speaking was blunt.

Jefferson Tan

Great service! Great taste!

Grace Chan

It's a very nice coffee shop in 'Korea Town'. There are a few other cafes in the same plaza but this one stands out. The place has a modern and rustic feel, and offers plenty of good coffees. Appealing to the younger crowd, this place is quite often packed with students. I enjoy the Americano here :)

Duong T

I wanted to give this place a few tries over 3 years before actually rating this. Previously I would have given this place 4 stars for coffee alone despite it being overpriced as many have resonated. But over the years, the standard has …

Total cost of my food was ~$11-12 but it did taste delicious! It was pretty cozy, but my friend and I were unable to do much studying because there wasn't any WiFi available (I had to use the supermarket WiFi next door).

Won Y

Nice atmosphere, good music, and friendly staff. Coffee is above average here. Also I found their fruit smoothies surprisingly delightful. I found the tiny bible store inside the cafe a bit unusual but w/e.

Darrius Smith

Great vibes in this cafe. The decor is elegant and classy. Highly recommend the Dutch Columbus' Tonic. It's a refreshing way to drink coffee in the summer!

Johanna De Los Santos

the cookie was meh. the coffee is just okay. cute interior and nice hang out spot.

Eugene Kuznetsov

Great little date spot near lougheed mall. We loved that the mochas (iced and hot) weren't too sweet, and that the expresso was really smooth. All of the deserts looked great. Lovely decor, with a quaint, darker interior that sets a relaxing mood for a either a date, or as a quiet space to study.

Sarah C

Place is tucked in the corner of the Korean Plaza. Always tough to find parking. Inside is very trendy with coffee stuff displayed a a looping animated video on the wall. They have customer reward cards in the middle island. Cool looking place. Prices are on the higher end but the coffee is really good so it is somewhat justified. Staff were very friendly.

Lyle Chausse

Their interior is great, warm and unique with lights. They have cute macarons, cakes and coffee but all over priced. Decaf is an additional $1 but overall, it's a great place to meet friends and study. There's a limit of 2 hour stay so please keep in mind !

Nina T

I usually come here for their ambiance. Love how they decorated the place. Very reminiscent of all those trendy cafes in Korea.

Good place to hang out .. pastries and drinks are good

I've come here a couple of times in the past and I must say, the decor and atmosphere of this place is quite unique. It's very vintage and I love it! Really different from other cafes. I came and tried their matcha crunch mousse cake which was around $8.60 with tax. And it was pretty disappointing. With mousse cakes, I completely understand if they're a bit pricey because they require lots of detail but it was clear that this one was not made in house (like most cafes). First off, there was no "crunch" factor besides those little beads on top which tasted pretty stale. That top green layer had a really odd texture; kind of gelatinous and not really mousse-y. Not to mention, it had a pretty fake green color and i just don't think good mousse cakes should have any kind of food coloring! Altogether, I did taste some sort of matcha but the flavors and the textures were just so off. Kind of tasted chemically to be honest. I've had mousse cakes that were cheaper but tasted unbelievably good (and made in-house too) so for 8.60.. price doesn't match the quality. Maybe the other desserts taste good but i doubt the quality is there so I probably won't order desserts here again. The drinks look good so maybe if I return in the future, I'll only get a drink.

Finally went here for my first time with family today. Ordered Spanish Latte, Matcha Latte, Pistachio Macaron (Apeach), Dark Chocolate Macaron (Ryan), Black Sesame Macaron (Totoro), and Espresso Macaron (Anpanman). While their matcha latte is on a slightly sweet side, they served the best Spanish latte I have tried so far! They use 49th Parallel Coffee beans, but they prepare it much more tastier, even when compare to 49th Parallel store. You can totally taste the nutty flavour, but without any bit of bitterness. Their macarons also suit my liking. Unlike some other places, they are not overly sweet and have great feel to their shell and filling ratio. Although their dark chocolate macaron is missing a bit of real rich chocolate flavour and I am not a big fan the pistachio (like almond) flavour, I absolutely love their black sesame one and espresso one. The flavour on both black sesame and espresso are strong, especially the espresso macaron. The espresso flavour explode in your mouth after the first bite. Not to mention they look oh-so-cute! The only cons is they are pricey - over $3 each! Sitting area is roomy and nice of them don’t over crowded tables together. The place has some neat decorations and relaxing atmosphere. During my visit, it was busy with mixture of crowd. The girl serviced at the counter was friendly with a nice smile. The woman who was working in the sitting area was a bit flustered though.
