Blenz Coffee

I came here on the day of Ted talk. Needless to say, it was PACKED. I thought the service was pretty fast, considering they only had 2 employees working at the time. One thing I found disappointing was that there was no dark chocolate available. I thought Blenz is known for its dark belgium chocolate, not sure if that has changed. Overall this place gets a passing grade from me

Okay. So I’ve come many times since my last review two weeks ago and. My coffee has been getting more and more bland.
What caused my updated 1 star review, however, was because there was no hand soap in their restroom! When my sister went to ask the girl to replace the handsoap so she could wash her hands, the girl said they didn’t have any left. Um… What are they washing their own hands with when they’re handling our drinks and food??? I’m skeptical.
In any case, we had to go across the street to Starbucks. and may keep doing so again from now on.

A cute, little corner Blenz that is both cozy and friendly! It’s a great place to grab a delicious Chai Latte before heading to my nail appointment, groceries or a movie — whatever my purpose of being there may be!
Recently, I took advantage of the Hot Chocolate Festival to, finally, give Hot Chocolate a go. They are offering a mint chocolate (I forgot its name) and a dark chocolate with ginger called «My Funny Valentine». I cannot say ‘No’ to dark chocolate!
I shy away from hot chocolates because they are normally too sweet. This just seemed like a perfect excuse to give hot chocolate another go.
Sure enough, it was sweet! The «ginger» component really made me doubt my selection. I don’t like ginger, but let me tell you, the hint of ginger that came with this hot chocolate was actually OK! The Festival «combo» included a mini croissant, which was deliciously flaky after it was heated up!
On a regular day, this Blenz serves the community well. There are always groups of people having gatherings and meetings in there. And of course, the lone rangers and their laptops.

Solid 3.5 stars because I’m so bored of the Starbucks kitty corner. Corner location with lots of light, free wifi and communal table by the counter. Lots of window bar seating.
Friendly staff.
Generally it’s kinda clean. Can be quite busy at times, with free wifi.
Washrooms on the left.
A good pit stop before heading to Tinseltown for movies and shopping at T&T.
