Blenz Coffee

It is a small blenz but it is built in a way that it gives the illusion that there is space to sit. The service was decent. I just wanted a tea and hot water.

their hot chocolate is always #1!!!

This location was my first experience with Blenz and it has completely turned me off of EVER going into a Blenz Coffee again. A coffeehouse should have a welcoming atmosphere. The staff treated me as if I was inconveniencing them in some way. Their americano? Awful. Here’s our review of the coffee, service, and cups:

They only care about your money. I have come here many times before so decided to stop by and take a breather from the rain and do some work. Being a regular customer, I thought that they would not mind me working while not purchasing anything for once. Boy was I wrong. Even though the shop was not full I was harassed by the owner to purchase something or leave. I will never go to this shop again. They only thing they care about is your money — they could care less about you. FYI Starbucks down the road is much friendlier and cheaper.

Nice little spot
Very comfortable to relax, and cool little patio for the summer months

They carry more gluten free food options than the other Blenz I’ve been to! Gluten free scones and muffins.
This location is more friendly than the one on Hamilton and the staff are more helpful.

Went into Blenz Davie Street today like I do every week for a regular coffee and they told me that there is a price increase right before Christmas and with no notice — so mean to have a price increase just before Christmas — I will never go to Blenz again that was just cruel! Please boycott this company!!!

Definitely not cheap by any means, but in a good location. My buddy comes here daily as he loves the Americano’s, but they have to be done just right or he sends them back (coffee snob perhaps lol). I had a cappuccino to go and it did the job.
Seems like a nice place to stop and have a chat or coffee.

If you need a cup of coffee to wake you up, this is your place. Very strong, fresh and delicious coffee. I decided to walk in this coffee shop because they got free wifi and restroom for customers. A cup of coffee will run you about $ 3.00 CAN, which is pretty decent price. I definitely will come by for a cup of latte again when I’m in town.

AMAZING im obsessed
but little pricier than starbucks but worth it for quality !!
always super friendly
location always busy

These are all over downtown Vancouver — Starbucks step aside. Nothing too amazing about Blenz itself, but they do serve a solid cup of Joe and offer an alternative to the overblown Starbucks empire.

If you’ve noticed a trend in my reviews, I have a coffee problem! (just a little one, I swear)… I like my coffees. I like to share the love and try to experience new coffee shops while out and about in the Yaletown neighborhood.
I recently visited Blenz coffee and wish I could say something more positive, but my overall experience was «Meh!» The Americano wasn’t very tasty, in fact I think the espresso beans might have been burnt (in fact I only drank half of it before throwing it out). The ambience is bright, light and inviting, so that’s a positive, but overall, I would rather go 1 block south along Davie to JJ Bean… well as long as there was a seat open. ;-)

Large and cavernous and busy. Sounds like the perfect place to have a video conference call with a business contact doesn’t it??? NOT.
WOW dude seriously It was the most entertaining thing in a while. And by entertaining I mean «WTF!!!». It was very obvious that these two guys who were sitting in a corner of Blenz conducting a video chat, were in fact doing the old soft shoe, the backpedal, and the singing for their supper, all at the same time. They were trying to cover their asses with regards to falling down on their job. They were so busy making excuses while declaring: «I don’t want to be making excuses…», and saying things like: «I don’t want to make you any promises.», while making all kinds of promises. Blah blah blah expectations yadda yadda yadda.
The euphemisms and catch phrases they were dropping was like something out of a pathetic movie script. If anyone needs it, I can let you have it for cheap. All kinds of talk about ‘expectations’ and ‘progress’ and ‘timelines’…When they got to the part where they said: «We need to walk before we can run,» I am really not sure how my honey restrained himself from screaming: «RUN!!!». As he pointed out later, that wouldn’t have been too much of a social faux-​pas, as they were invading our quiet enjoyment of our space as everyone’s ‘board room voices’ made more noise over even the loud canned music.
I guess it is like they say: «If you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, put them on a video chat in a loud and busy Blenz while attempting to baffle them with bullshit, and have them know you are a idiot. It takes two to tango.» … My father used to say that all the time. Didn’t yours?
Service was decent. Coffee was A-​OK.
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Six of one, half a dozen of the other! Babysteps!

Erm kinda squished in here, as people will hear your conversations when sitting near them, but enough chairs to suffice.
Too many yuppies though, I’d much rather go to the Blenz on Davie @ Granville up the street to be alongside the sketchies and drunks instead! ;)
I was waiting to use the bathroom, but the hipster was taking much too long so I had to leave, argh!
*Drinks are like all other Blenz locations – skip all the coffee drinks, and you’ll do just fine.*

blenz is a coffee/​tea chain, a lot like starbuck’s in the u.s. you cannot walk a block without seeing either a blenz, a starbuck’s or both. talk about saturated market, but they both do incredible well with locals and tourists!
we stopped by a few of blenz locations for FREE wi-​fi, CLEAN bathroom, and to rest our tired feet. by far, this location is the best (also the neighborhood is very trendy with more locals) in terms of space layout and friendly service.
chai latter and shaken tea are not bad although a bit sweet to my taste buds.
this also must be the local cops’ favorite hangout spot. they seemed to enjoy their blended ice drinks. yes, around 2 in the afternoon, they need something sweet and cold to let the day go by faster, like the rest of us…

I am always a sucker for a convenient location, and I’m in this neighborhood quite a bit, but I consistently find the drinks at this Blenz are well-​done and the staff are friendly, which I appreciate when I hurry over from the park across the street with little ones in tow and really *need* the caffeine-​y goodness of whatever I’m craving at the moment. When I’m not encumbered, I luxuriate in the great big comfy chairs, and for some reason I think of Monty Python and giggle.

This Blenz has big comfy chairs. The floors are a bit tattered and it feels a bit worn in a loving club house kind of way.. . It’s cozy.
It’s a great place to plug in, do some work, people watch or meet a friend for some joe. It’s not an out of this world experience but it’s comfy.
The coffee is good, the macha latte is quite good, the chai latte is sweet but very good.
KEY POINT: My guilty pleasure is the peanut butter banana chocolate protein smoothy. (hold the banana) I fool myself thinking it’s healthy. I remember checking the nutritional info on this bad boy and it weighs in at over 800 calories, lol!
sometimes being in denial, tastes too good to stop.
ps just double checked the PBBC protein smoothy has 723 calories, minus 105 calories for the banana I refuse… hmmm 618 calories, just a tad more than a Big Mac®… nice!

The décor could use updating. The coffee is delicious, we prefer the dark roast klondike blend. They also sell it ground to take home. Much better coffee than the other coffee chains in the area.

Better than Starbucks, better train baristas, better décor. Wish they were in the US

I hate the fact that you need to get a ticket for wireless usage. I’m from the states where Starbucks offers free WI-​FI. Comprendes Canada? Free WIFI. Someone has to start the trend.
I do like the chai latte tho. Only reason you get three starz, BLENZ!
