Nice service. Friendly staff. I was asking if their desserts are nut-free as I have suspected allergy to nuts but they are not sure what options they can give me. I appreciated she’s trying to help me choose the dessert. It’s a good place to stop by before going to a meeting or appointment.
What sets Cultured Coffee & Tea Cafe apart is their commitment to sustainability, evident in their use of biodegradable cups and ethically sourced beans and leaves. This eco-friendly approach, combined with their exceptional drinks and warm service, makes it a cafe worth visiting and revisiting.
Was waiting for my appointment so decided to take a break at this location and decided to give their drinks a try. Ordered the Chai tea latte and I would have to say it's the best Chai latte I've ordered compared to other coffee shops!
I even ordered from Starbucks yesterday to compare with this one and it doesn't compete with this one. The drink is super hot (which is my preference), and it wasn't too sweet either. I would definitely come back, I do wish it was in a more convenient location for me to drop by once in awhile (kind of like the other chain coffee shops), but if I'm around, I would come back here again.
The price is decent, not too expensive either (at least compared to other coffee shops that is).
Inside City Square, nice local and down to earth coffee shop with good selection of teas and coffees, sweet and savoury. It is a great location with a nice view, special on the Vancouver raining days, this place has so much light. Quick coffee or afternoon reading... love this location
The Cultured Coffee definitely owns up to its name. Located on the upper level at the City Square Mall. The coffee and pastries are good. The service is excellent and friendly. Its a small and cozy place to get a quick bite.
Café that has been opened for 10+ years, located on the upper level of City Square Shopping Centre (right above the escalators, it’s hard to miss). They have a wide variety of coffees, cold drinks, pastries, sandwiches, soups and more. When I went, they had a combo deal going on for a free soup with any purchase of a sandwich and drink. Prices are quite reasonable as well. Currently only take-out or delivery. Friendly staff and quick service.
My order:
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Ball ($3.70): highly recommend this one! It’s basically a large Reece cup in a ball shape. Dark chocolate coated peanut butter ball, with chunks of real peanuts sprinkled in as well. It’s surprisingly not too sweet, but it’s quite rich so I’d recommend getting just one for the perfect after meal dessert (or pack a few for the road).
Frappe Caramello ($6+): subtle caramel flavour, but it isn’t too sweet overall and is a great iced drink to cool down on a hot day. Most drinks come in small, medium, or large size.
Frappe Mochalatto ($6+): It is more chocolate-y, so it’s perfect for people who don’t like strong coffee drinks. Slightly sweeter than the caramel frappe.
Beef Sausage Roll ($3.70): flaky pastry dough, and they heat it up for you. Nice and filling snack.
Turkey Panini (~$9): they heat this up on a panini grill for you. Comes with cheddar cheese, sundried tomato, pesto, spinach, and mayo on a house-made ciabatta bun. I like the sweet-tart flavour that the sundried tomato adds to the sandwich. Easy hot meal to take to-go.
Macaroon Madness (~$3): I liked the oatmeal and coconut crumble on top, it adds a good texture and taste. There’s also a caramel drizzle on top. It has a soft mushy texture, but was a bit too sweet for my personal preference.
Cinnamon Twist: house-made as well, with a nice caramelized crunchy cinnamon top. I microwaved it at home with a bit of butter and it is very delicious.
Service is friendly. Coffee is alittle weak for my taste.
Prefer my coffee strong, dark and bold. Cultured missed the target for me. Coffee is good only if you’re in a pinch for a small caffeine hit.
Second time here and I find the coffee better than the big chains. Feels more artisan and they have a nice selection of baked goods and various drinks. Didnt have to wait too long although the lone barista was on her phone most of the time.
Prices are good and the cups are cool, feels well insulated in your hand.
They have fantastic coffee and muffins!
There banana chocolate muffin is so good! Great muffin to start your day!
Cool little place, staff super friendly. I enjoy coming here to grab a snack, my morning tea and hang out for a bit.
Nice coffeehouse. Good service.
Good place to grab a quick food.
Helping staff.
Love this place! I’m a fussy coffee drinker (besides here I only drink Elysian) and this place makes an awesome Americano! And the staff is the best…so friendly and personable! They actually make a connection with their patrons unlike many coffee shops in Vancouver. Cinnamon buns are also yum with crispy edges and soft in the inside!
