McBurney Coffee & Tea House

Caramel macchiato is amazing! Very smooth! I’m a pretty big coffee connoisseur, this is as good as it gets in Langley. They offer two gluten free products, which Is better than most places. Ie Starbucks, offers nothing. I had the peanut butter oat bar and it was fresh and really delicious and on the healthy side! The women working at the front were attentive and kind. Free wifi! I will for sure be back.

Good Coffee, Good Sandwichs. and very friendly place.

I was really excited that Langley would have a decent coffee shop that was moderately hipster that wasn’t a SB or Tim’s. I had a latte made to my ordered specifications, however, the beans they used made the latte a bit acidic. They had wifi so worked a bit but was very unimpressed with the taste of my latte and it took me a while to shake off the first sip. I talked to the owner/​worker about it but he was insistent that everything was okay. It wasn’t even cheap either.

Coffee was pretty good but expensive at $ 2.45 for a medium cup.
Brownie points for having Nanaimo bars, although I didn’t order one or any food items, as the prices seemed especially high.
Free TELUS Wi-​Fi available, but not very many electrical plugs available to give your devices a boost.
Staff was pleasant but neither outgoing nor friendly.
Decent but unremarkable place in downtown Langley to grab a coffee.

I personally didn’t mind the Thai wrap but my boyfriend was unimpressed and very angry about it costing $ 6.00 per wrap. Honestly it is a bit overpriced for the tiny thing. My tea was a standard Earl Grey. Nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s not a very cozy atmosphere. A little spacey and had a cafeteria feel. Very basic seating and long tables also feeling like a cafeteria. There is free wi-​fi available. The staff are friendly.
Don’t order any food here. Just go in for a quick drink on the go. There are other places in the area to eat.

Great little shop it’s quiet, I found the staff to be fine, coffee was good. I like the large tables that make it easy for me to study. Being downtown, it DOES have it’s characters, but frankly that’s to be expected from any place in the core. So long as they don’t hassle me, it’s okay.

I like spending time here with friends… great place to meet up. But the deserts are usually stale and over priced… staff are not that friendly. I liked the old owners better.

$ 4. for a smallish, stale almond croissant, what?
If they had a Breka here, you could get a giant, FRESH croissant cheaper!
staff are indifferent,
display case– the apple pie lined up with a strawberry rhubarb pie tag, vis versa, almond croissant lined with chocolate croissant, vice versa– was it opposites day?
Langley NEEDS a GOOD coffee shop to keep its downtown core alive; this ain’t it.

the name says it all, and in retrospect, we should have known.
The place is dirty, dark, and dank, but I normally could care less about this if the coffee, tea, or food was any good… instead it was Mcburnified. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte… every drink component in it was off… It was like opening the puzzlebox to the cenobite realm… the milk had gone bad, the coffee tasted burnt, and there was only allspice and cardomom in the spicemix, so it tastes more like a jamaican jerk coffee, all I needed was a chicken wing.
However, given that the pastry in my girlfriend’s sausage roll was extremely undercooked, while being a desert wasteland of dryness on the inside, I would never want any chicken from this place.
As I attempted to sip on my sour jerked latte and began to picture the petite barista as Pinhead the sadomasochist, my friend waited patiently for her iced chai smoothie… people came and went, and came and went. We started the dirty looks, we then asked, as we could see it already blended behind Pinhead, and we were summarily ignored… the unexquisite torture!!! Finally 10 minutes later she shrugs and pours it into a glass, and hands it over. A nothingless spiceless iced milk drink.
I’d love this place to close up, but I’m afraid a portal to the underworld may open up… but I bet the drinks and food would at least be more tempting.

I have spent more than my fair share of time here, maybe not so much lately, but I will concur with all the other reviews, yes it’s dated, yes it’s staff are hit and miss, yes it’s kind of grungy, but being there in the summer in the morning outside on the patio enjoying the wifi, coffee, friends and people watching is a treat.
The coffee is fine and the food as well. You just have to realize that every part of the day here has it’s own crowd and it’s own problems. The mornings and early afternoons are great, but as the do nothing druggies wake up around 2 they start to wander by and wreck the bathrooms, toss their butts around and leave messes everywhere as slobs typically do.
Then the late afternooners show up and it settles down again, the the kids start showing up around 7 and the noise grows till the place closes.
You can’t expect to cater to only one group of people if your going to run a place like this. And I know the owners know that. So I am fine with it.
They can’t keep things too pretty due to the crazy amount of crazy’s that think they are expected to treat the place like a personal frustration release.
No wonder the staff are unhappy!
So pick you’re time slot and try and do you’re part to make the place better not worse and I’ll do the same. ;)

The staff here seem miserable. My caramel macchiato was really bad, the milk was nice and hot (starbucks always fails at that ever since the automated bars) but the barista overfilled it then just ladled out the top, spilling all over the cup. Also, someone needs to tell them that with a macchiato the shot goes after the milk. overall, a pretty depressing atmosphere and the shop was dirty.

enjoyed my red tea latte… but the inside needs updating a little, and thought the bathroom was pretty dirty.

Local hipster hangout in Langley City with a mélange of hippies, college students, and artists. Coffee is decent but specialty coffees have been blacked out for reasons unknown. Great selection if wraps, sandwiches, and cakes. Wednesday nights they have live music from folk to country with everyone on music night being very friendly and supportive to fellow musicians.
There is a huge outdoor courtyard which is great in he summertime as the staff put out plenty of tables for the patrons during the summer months and the live music is played outside.
My only negative thing about going here on music night I’d that it gets fairly loud and hot inside as everyone is wanting to listen to the music

I love McBurney’s, this is a go to spot whenever I’m in the area. Love the atmosphere, love the drinks.
It’s my nostalgic university coffee joint, there’s always aspiring musicians, students with laptops, friends chatting.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the baristas are a little hit and miss, in attitude, not drink making.

Coffee is great, entertainment is great, however, staffing is awful. I mean AWFUL! I’m not sure where management is getting these kids from but they didn’t smile, they didn’t greet me when I walked up to the counter, and one of them told me that I ordered my drink wrong and made me look like a complete idiot for not being a pro tea drinker. I watched one girl walk up to the counter to buy a bottle of water and the young man who embarrassed me, completely ignored this girl and continued to play on his phone. The night that I went to McBurnys was open Mic Night and McBurney’s policy is to give the artists one free drink. Well, the specific artist that I went to see perform was denied her one free drink because she wanted to give it to her boy friend instead. It is still ONE free drink being consumed. Does it really matter by whom? More than half of the people in McBurneys (me included) would not have even been there if it weren’t for this one performer and it was VERY tacky that she was denied one drink. The whole evening proved to be a disgusting display of customer service (rather lack there of) and I am ashamed that these people in some small way represent Langley since McBurneys is right smack in the middle of it. My suggestion would be to stop hiring depressed, angry and rude teenagers and look for individuals with passion, drive and motivation.

Finding a good cup of coffee is never a difficult thing in BC. Finding a coffee shop with a good atmosphere is something else all together. I really like the atmosphere McBurneys has during the day. I like to take by laptop down and put in a few hours while enjoying their coffee treats and most of all atmosphere.
As good as the atmosphere is during the day, it really goes down hill in the evenings. They have a lot of kids hanging around in the evening, I have chosen a different location a few times after driving by and seeing kids sitting everywhere.

McBurney’s is an institution in the downtown Langley «one way» zone. It is a REALLY busy coffee meeting and hang out spot. They have live music nights and all sorts of stuff that goes on after I am ensconced on my couch and don’t head into Langley anymore, but I hear it is fun.
The coffee is great, the food is quite good, but I have to whinge a little bit about the atmosphere. It never seems clean in there… I mean it isn’t gross or anything, but it is disorderly, their stock is all piled up against the back wall, there are newspapers everywhere, and by mid afternoon, it looks more like a subway station than a coffee shop.
It is however «The McBurney’s» so some things are just unassailable.
