Bean Around the World Coffees

Good coffee. I love the fact they have organic choices but mannnnn this guy behind the counter needs to cheer up… Or At least just be pleasant.
They also have gluten free pastries. They all look delicious. So come and enjoy a coffee and pastry… Just don’t expect the service to go above and beyond.

One of the lesser well-​décor compared to the rest, but it’ll do in this small strip area in south Kerrisdale, it’s way off any main street so it’s quite tranquil.
Service is good & friendly. Free parking.
It’s a great pit stop for me when I’m in between Richmond and DT, waiting for the next restaurant meeting, I can work here for hours without being hassled, sipping my Mexican organic coffee.
But closed sundays.

The coffee was great, but this review is mostly because the service was super-​helpful and went above and beyond the call-​of-​duty. There was no smug-​barista attitude here and instead the staff offered help on where we should go and what to see in Vancouver. They were really nice people and it was a nice, clean and very professional coffee shop.

First of all, I could not believe some of the negative, untrue and slanderous crap that some reviewers have reported about this café and I am only glad that some of their screeds have been pulled from this site.
I have been a regular here for two years now, or since they opened. I have nothing but praise for this place. First, John and his sister, Anne, I have found to be friendly, kind and genuine and always concerned for the comfort of their patrons. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. It can get very busy on Saturdays.
I consider this café my Saturday oasis. I do not live in the area but often take a long hike through Shaughnessy and Kerrisdale and this café is a perfect location for me to relax in one of the comfy chairs in the back sipping an Americano (iced in warm weather), enjoying a cookie or pastry and drawing in my sketch book. A great and relaxing way to pass an hour or two. I enjoy people watching and eavesdropping there as well as having conversations with other friendly patrons. The music is very eclectic though I do wish they would play some Bach or Vivaldi from time to time.
John, please ignore the trolls on this site and keep doing what you’re doing the way you’re doing it ’cause, dude, yer doin’ it right!

Love the coffee here and the quite atmosphere and free wifi make it a great, productive place to work. Love to sit outside on a sunny day on their Muskoka chairs.

This space is great. I’ve been here about a dozen times since it opened.
There are plenty of seats and it’s nice and bright — great for reading by myself or meeting a few friends for coffee.
I love that I have the option of soy milk as well as almond milk for my beverages. They even have gluten free treats :) The staff are always super friendly (even at seven in the morning!)
They get your drink made very quickly, so you can even pop in for a caffeine fix on the go.

Brightly lit, small café. Bad acoustics so it gets v. noisy.
