Blenz Coffee

This location is further up Main street. It is modest in size. The downfall is that they barely have any snacks and certainly ones that don’t meet my dietary needs as the other locations do. The barista was friendly enough, however, not sure if he had any idea of my drink inquiry.

One thing that always makes me want to drop in when I am in the area, is the friendly staff. They always greet myself and make time for quick conversation to try and lighten my day. A real definite positive!
They also have a nice variety of hot and cold drinks that swing toward the ‘specialty’ side of coffee shops to try and mix things up. For this I would say prices would fall into being reasonable.

A thousand coffee shops in lower mainland, however, I haven’t buy a cup of coffee at Blenz over a decade. Honestly, there is no particular reason for not return, just probably location/​convenience.
After we bought a honey on Main Street, we both craving a coffee and found Blenz just cross the street. Just gave it a try.
We got a table and sat down for few minutes before we bought the drink. We were ordered 2 matcha lattes for here but we got it in paper cup! Fine! I bought over my coffee over the counter and asked for lid, the staff pointed me over the other end to get it. Unfortunately, it’s out of stock! I told him there is no lid on the counter and he turned around and searched at the back without saying a word.
We were quite disappointed on our matcha latte! How can be a bitter and non-​sweet green tea latte?
Just a simple green tea and hot milk, how hard can be?
No wonder I don’t go Blenz for a decade, now probably not return in the furture.

blenz is all over vancouver. almost as much as starbucks. this particular location had lots of comfy seating, which is almost as important to me as what they serve.
dark belgian chocolate hot chocolate was smooth & naturally sweet. they offer more non coffee options than starbucks.

Like this location, also b/​c it’s a corner one, which means great views ;) and double the parking too along the side streets.
Comfortable seating & privacy in the back for those serious conversations.
Not as busy as the other ones too.

Great place for getting work done and great seats for people watching on the streets. Awesome tea selection! Really friendly service. And FREE WIFI!

The internet connection is terrible! My computer has to reconnect every 10 minutes so if you need to use your laptop look elsewhere. The drinks and coffee are comparable to other Blenz locations. Location is pretty small, not a lot of tables to sit or study at. There’s no free parking nearby, you have to pay the meter or else drive a couple of blocks away to park in the residential area. The two girls who work here right now talk all day long and you can hear them wherever you sit, it’s kind of annoying. You have to buy a drink in order to use internet for 2 hours max. if you need to study — go down the street to The Grind.

Came here for a coffee.
The place is quite narrow, so there actually aren’t that many tables (maybe 8 at most?)
Place closes at 2200, 7 days a week.
There’s free Wi-​fi here. Yay! And the washrooms are quite clean.
A good alternative to The Grind nearby, which is usually filled with poor starving students cramming for finals.

blenz is a pretty middle of the road in terms of coffee. this location excels because they have free wifi AND plugs for your laptop that you can use.

Pretty solid coffee shop… it’s a little small compared to the other Blenz’s I’ve been to around town, but free wifi and a handful of plugs makes it a convenient place to hang out and get some work done.
Still not sure it beats Salt Spring right across the street though.
