Blenz Coffee

This has become my favorite coffee place in Vancouver. This particular location on Granville/​Davie is the best because the staff are always amazing and friendly. I love their mochas and the real chocolate chips they use!

The best iced Americano is at Blenz Davie/​Granville. They brew an excellent cup of espresso. For coffee purists like myself, this location delivers deliciously made espresso, macchiato, cappuccino etc…

Blenz prides themselves on being the fastest-​growing local coffee chain in Canada, but unfortunately their coffee quality was slightly below average IMO. I found this place to be comparable to a Starbucks, complete with seasonal drinks and a limited food selection. My guy couldn’t stomach any more caffeine for the day, so he opted for a hot chocolate– here that is apparently made with a white chocolate syrup that neither of us cared for.
This location has comfortable, lounge-​style seating. Signs everywhere state that the bathrooms are for customers only, but there are no locks or anything. You do need to get a coupon after your transaction for a code to use the WIFI, which seemed to keep the number of loitering people lower than other spots in the area.

My boyfriend and I visited Blenz coffee on our short trip to Vancouver. We really enjoyed the lattes and it was a nice change from the usual stop with the green siren.

Oh do I miss having this right down the street. I was visiting Canada for a few days and I feel in love with this coffee shop. Not sure why anyone would go to Starbucks when this lovely place is right around the corner and can make any drink for you and has a bunch more flavors than Starbucks. I got the tiramisu mocha and it was so good I also tried the hot chocolate which this u have in 3 flavors which was delish! If I lived in Canada this would be my go to coffee shop. Fast, friendly, convenient and yummy.

This place was conveniently located near the hotel where I stayed in. It had a good ambience and the coffee gas good. Before we entered the Café we noticed a very visible WiFi sign on the main door. That and of course a good cup of coffee were the convincing factors that encouraged us to enter the business. We were visiting Vancouver from a different country and wanted to use the WiFi to connect to the Internet to plan something.
We ask for the WiFi key and ordered our coffees, the coffee was good but the WiFi never worked. We tried the password several times until we gave up.
I don’t think they should have WiFi signs all over if their WiFi is not stable, or they should put a sign up that’s say WiFi currently not working, when it’s not working. Call me picky but when you’re in a different country and don’t have mobile service, WiFi can be your best friend.

I’m not sure if they changed management recently or not. I used to love their hot chocolate here but what I got just now was not what I got before.
You can barely taste the chocolate, in fact it tasted like watered down swill.

I just come Here for the coffee. To be honest with you the staff is absolutely horrible. If it weren’t for the name brand coffee, had it been any other small coffee shop they would be shut down because the staff is so horrendous. Really
Need to get more friendly lively English speaking polite happy people in here because these people clearly make you hate life since they seem so miserable themselves! Cheer up guys! The world isn’t always such a horrible place

Great for people watching. Extremely comfortable stools and ample tables and plugs for my studying needs. Coffee is good. Ambiance is great. Excellent times getting harassed by homeless people walking in, but that’s just part of the Granville experience. The food on the other hand– bad. Their samosas are ok, but everything else sucks. How do you mess up a simple wrap or sandwich? Somehow they figured out a way. Luckily there is a plethora of quick food options nearby, and food isn’t why you go to a Blenz.
Also, some of the girls working here have major attitude problems. It wouldn’t kill them to crack a smile. However, the nice young European guy working here is always super friendly and gives great service, give him a raise!

Why am I giving a 4 star review to a mediocre coffee chain? Because this is a great place to wind down a night downtown, or to re-​up your caffeine before continuing on past its 1am weekend closing time.
The coffee– is exactly as you would expect from the ubiquitous Blenz. Never my first choice, but there’s always one around, and it’s going to be at least drinkable. And if you need a sugar buzz, the hot chocolate and mochas are rich and delicious.
But I come here for the view. Ridiculously comfy bar stools at the window overlooking the Granville/​Davie intersection, where you can comfortably watch the gong show of drunk 20 somethings stumble along Granville mall at midnight. People watching at its finest.

i get it… it’s hot and we’re all a little grumpy ’cause we need and want a cool pick me up. At least you’re in an air conditioned environment. Clearly it was under staffed and everyone was doing the best they could. I felt so bad that people were bitching at them. It really isn’t their fault. They did a good job on my drink, we’re polite and friendly through it all.

This was my first stop in my search of good iced coffee in Vancouver. It is already my favorite because of the yellow colored straw. Tastes bold and I think it will give me the boost needed to explore the city. Welcome to Canada! Tasty

it was alright honestly. the London fog latte was yummy but the place was pretty boring. free wifi though.

I found this place to be ok, but overall didn’t really nail it — sand which was fine but not great, several chairs with uneven legs, silly coffee shop art. Nothing was terrible but nothing great either and there seem to be a lot of other options in the area with better pluses for the same price

I love their savory and fresh cookies.
You know the ”sable” made with strawberry jam in the middle?
Nom Nom Nom.
Customer service is On/​Off.
Understandable.
Busy location. Granville/​Davie.
This place is like the other Blenz located downtown.
Better than Waves.
But Artigiano is the best coffee place in town… In my book.

Good coffee, strong wifi.
Service is a little slow and the bathroom is icky.

It’s your typical blenz, but its got a great location at the top of Granville st. and Davie. They always have wi-​fi and plugs everywhere which I really like about this particular blenz. It’s open late and the staff are always friendly.

This place is packed with good looking employees, good looking customers, and considering I only ever get matcha chillo, I haven’t been done wrong as far as orders. Not only that, I had asked employees at 5 other Blenz what brand matcha powder they use and no one would tell me but someone here did.
ps if the boy who was there the other day sees this, gimme yer digits.
*commented on a word I used to describe cake.
(yeah I’m using my reviews as a dating service now, so what?)

Pretty much Starbucks, however they were out of heavy cream so my con panna had to be made with half and half. Wasn’t that tasty, and Sara’s tea was steeped WAY too long, so overwhelming it gave head and stomach aches.
Eh.
But like Starbucks it can be found on every other corner so it’s a safehaven and there’s points in that.

Although this Blenz is the only coffee shop that has space for me on this rainy Saturday I still don’t feel comfortable in here.
It’s kind of a Granville thing — the vibe is def. interesting, and not the good kind. The space is cavernous, in an unappealing way. The music today was loud, «echo-​y» and kind of unrefined. Not peaceful.
KEY POINT: always seems to have space here for you and 10 of your friends…
As long as they aren’t picky, this is the Blenz for you
