Sorento

Although both Sorento and Blenz are local businesses, I would pick Sorento as my first choice any day! The man that works there is incredibly friendly, cheerful, and wants to make sure you enjoy your beverage as much as humanly possible. Every time that I’ve stopped by for «Vancouver’s best hot chocolate», so he claims, he checks up on you, if you’re sitting outside, to see if it’s not too sweet, too hot, and what not.
I heard that he essentially commutes to the library from Coquitlam at 5am every morning and sticks around ’til about 6−7pm. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is.

I am surprised that there is a competing coffee shop that is still standing inside the lobby of the Library when there is a Blenz a few doors down. I’ve only ever gotten tea for them as when it comes to specialty coffees they seem lost in the art of.
