The green tea latte is great and always served at a temperature at which you can immediately drink it without scalding yourself. I recommend their parfait or one of their sandwiches to anyone. Staff is always happy and friendly. The only downside can be on weekends, when this place gets crazy busy, and then its full of miserable people. Not the staff, mind you, but the other customers loafing about at the tables for hours. They can really make the place seem unwelcoming. I’ve had random – what I assume are permanently constipated soccer moms – seem completely agitated the moment we’ve sat down at a table. The men here don’t seem to bother with anyone, but the female customers are territorial and seem to take offense if you dare to *gasp* sit for a while in this café, instead of taking your order out the door with you as soon as you get it. Although, these women look like they should be cutting back on the lattes with how much they weigh so. hopefully, spring brings a better demographic to the café. Frowning makes wrinkles, ladies. :)

I used to really like Divano. I love that they do Spanish lattes. But this is not a place you can come and work. There are only two outlets in the whole place, and the wireless does not work in the back where they are located. So basically, don’t bother coming here if you have anything to work on at all.

My go to coffee shop! The staff here are amazing and really know how to make a solid americano. The space is large enough so you can read on a nice arm chair and hangout or grab yourself a table and cram for an exam. The sandwiches are great and filling, the quiche is always freshly made and when cookies come out of the oven the smell envelopes the whole caffe.

Best coffee bar and hands down the best Latte in Coquitlam. Great atmosphere and the staff is always friendly. I’ve never tried the food but it looks good and is highly recommended.

Latte is better and maybe cheaper than Starbucks latte for sure. They have three kinds of latte I believe: Caffé Latte, Spanish Latte, and Green Matcha Latte. The last one falls under the Tea menu though, so I assume it consists of more tea than coffee. 3.89+tax for a small Spanish latte by the way. The toasty Chicken Club sandwich was reminiscent of the sandwiches I had at Thomas Haas, that extremely popular sweets shop and café in Vancouver. Plenty of seating available here. You’ll only be able to find a couple tables that can seat 4 people however. All the other tables can only seat 2. Wifi is still under the former name of the business: Cornerstone. Ask the barista for the password because they don’t show it anywhere. The 2-chair tables are too close together though. A few electrical outlets, but when I plugged in my laptop, my laptop wasn’t getting charged. Outlets but no electricity. That really irritated me. Ugh, c’mon. I own a PC! PCs aren’t known to have long battery lives, but I love PCs more than Macs. Surprisingly quite warm inside. They support local artists, as there are scenic paintings hung up for sale. But yea, this no-electricity thing for my laptop got me docking two stars. Yeah, it’s a big deal for me.

I like this café but nothing really popped for me until a few weeks ago. I’ve come to this location quite a few times and its always been satisfactory. I don’t know if it is the manager or what, but the service was exceptional! They were all in high spirits, tons of laughter, conversation, and were engaging the customers, which I thought was great. My Americano was really well pulled and the chocolate that I asked for was just the right amount. We had the Lemon Coconut Bar and Chocolate Silk Cake. Silk cake… I don’t get it. It was good, but I found the cake to be very hard. It was sitting in the fridge so I guess the chocolate hardened up, but then after some time it did soften up and it was de, wait for it… licious! The Lemon bar thingy was awesome! I would definitely go for that again! =) The place was packed at the time we were there, but just big enough to have a frequent turnover of seats. Thanks guys and gals! :)
