Slo Coffee

Omg. Amazing little coffee shop. Very matcha focused. I had Red Jade black tea, as suggested by a very sweet young woman. It was so yummy. We had the Bacon Sando which was also very tasty (see pics). I would definitely come back. However, I felt like the oldest person there! A young crowd for sure. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. You may have to wait for a table. When it's really busy, it does have a din that you may find too loud. Great staff. So glad I tried this little place.

Beautiful cafe. I ordered ham&cheese croissant and peppermint tea. It was about 15$. I think the pricing is good and quality is top. No parking, had to park behind the building in the neighborhood.

Ended up being one of our favorite stops in Vancouver for the customer service, interior design, and uniqueness of the drinks. The staff member we spoke to was really friendly and gave other coffee shop recommendations when we mentioned we were visiting for the weekend. I got their pistachio matcha latte and it was well balanced. We ordered our drinks to go - the place would personally be a little too loud and crowded for me to hang out inside, but I can definitely see it being a cute hangout spot with friends.

I stopped in while passing by. The atmosphere of this cafe was slow, but the food and drinks were served quickly. The friendly and smiling staff brought the drinks to the table. The matcha powder in the iced matcha latte must be tasted first before it settles into the milk. You can definitely taste the flavor of the matcha. I would definitely come back again :)

“Stopped by Slo Coffee and was thoroughly impressed! I had a cortado that was excellent—smooth and perfectly balanced. Also tried the pain au chocolat, which was deliciously flaky and fresh. I sat outside with my dog, but I did peek inside, and the interior is beautiful. The curved ceilings and soft lighting create a cozy yet modern vibe that’s really inviting. A great spot for coffee lovers!”

Super cozy & contemporary interior with beautiful wood details! Very nice baristas with great music taste. A variety of seating types, and outlets for your devices. Delicious drinks - I loved my pistachio matcha latte and my partner loved their salted caramel latte! I did not try any food. Slo Coffee would be absolutely perfect - if only for one small detail: I wish they would provide for-here cups. In our current climate, I think we should be doing everything we can to shift away from relying on single-use products as much as possible, and I was sad to find out that my for-here drink was still served in a single use paper cup. Plastic cups are provided by the water fountain as well. Please consider providing mugs and glass cups. Mother Nature will thank you forever.

Finally had a chance to check out Slo Coffee, but overall, it was a disappointment. Ambience: The space curates a unique modern design, matching the vibe of a neighborhood coffee shop. The limewash like effect on the walls and floor, paired with reddish-brown wooden tables and chairs, creates a unified aesthetic. It’s quite photogenic, and the color tones are well-balanced. The coffee preparation area adopts an open design, which superficially makes the space look minimalist and tidy. However, this setup demands high cleanliness standards from the baristas. Unfortunately, I witnessed some chaotic moments, like spills during extraction or syrup accidents. The tools were often left in disarray, making the overall presentation feel messy. Coffee (core product): Disappointing. Very disappointing. The latte had overly thick foam, resulting in separation: the foam stayed on top, and the rest was very watery, making the latte texture terrible. The brand markets itself as a niche coffee shop, setting high expectations, but the actual product quality was disappointing. When I asked the barista about the beans they were using, she said she didn’t know. After asking two more staff members, I finally learned they were using beans from Agro Coffee Roastery. Personally, I’m not a fan of those beans, but it was shocking that the staff were so uninformed about their own products. The pour-over was even worse. There were three options, and I chose the beans with floral scent (from Ethiopia if I remember correctly). While the initial floral notes were present, that was all it had — no complexity/ surprises in the mid or aftertaste. I couldn’t tell if the problem was with the beans or the brewing process. Food: I ordered the staff-recommended roast beef sandwich, and it was honestly terrible. It tasted like a day-old supermarket sandwich that had been reheated. The seasoning was basic, the beef was mediocre. But the baguette is quite crispy. Together it still makes a bad sandwich for $10 Service: There was no real service. You place your order at the counter, and when your coffee is ready, they call you to pick it up yourself. However, you’re still required to tip, with a minimum of 15% set in their machine. I initially assumed this would at least mean they’d bring the drinks to your table, but no. For food, they give you a table number sign, and someone (possibly the cook) brings it out to you. Another strange detail: when I asked for more napkins, the server handed me the entire paper dispenser. That felt a bit unprofessional and awkward. Conclusion: This is not a coffee shop I’d return to. The product quality and service don’t live up to the expectations set by its branding. A nice ambiance alone isn’t enough to make it worth visiting again.

Food and drinks are above standard👌🏻 I got a hojicha latte and pain au chocolat. They’re good but not amazing. However, it’s hard to find a coffee shop in Vancouver that has both good food and drinks. So will definitely come back again! The interior design is unique but there’s too much echo when it’s full of people. It’s not a comfortable place if you want to stay long.

Interior is beautiful! Reminds me of cafes in LA. The cranberry matcha was surprisingly really good!

Nice hipster themed coffee place on Main. Parking is available on the side streets. The place has a very unique interior, with the curved ceiling. Almost feels like a retro spaceport or something out of Star Wars. There is a booth in the middle, and some tables. To be honest, there isn't quite enough seating. Also most of the tables seem to be meant for 2 people only. Something to keep in mind. There are also some benches outside. Staff are friendly. As of the time of writing, they don't take cash, so be sure to have a card handy. I thought the coffee was decent, but my (coffee) snob friends mentioned it was watered down. They also have cucumber water here, which is nice and refreshing. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though I'd avoid the peak hours if possible.

We came on a Saturday at 9am and there were some empty seats available. I got the breakfast sando ($8.75) and the cappuccino ($5). The breakfast sando was enough for me for breakfast but for bigger eaters they might find it small. It has an Ancho sauce in it that tastes like one of the wraps from Tim Hortons. The cappuccino was okay. The bubbles disappeared quite quickly. Taste wise it was not bad but I wouldn't order it again. I saw a lot of people ordering the matcha drinks. Maybe those are better. I'll try it next time

Really cute coffee shop with one of the best matcha lattes I've had! It has a chic interior that kind of looks like the Star Wars bar. Lots of seating around, though it gets busy on the weekend. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely go again!

Matcha Pistachio Latte This was very good! I was surprised at how well the nuttiness of the pistachio paired with the matcha. Personally it's not my favourite flavour combo but it was done very well! The place is very cute but there is limited seating and also a sign that says limited for one hour of seating. I think this is because it's relatively new and very popular. My friend accidentally spilt her drink and the staff made her a new one which was incredibly kind of them. The service was even though it was busy so props to the team!

This coffee shop is a great place for a fresh coffee. They have great options for food and drinks. I do like their Artichoke sandwich and their latte. Their service is good and this place is busy. Early is better! Cheers

Beautiful, clean, spacious cafe that has a minimalist look. Some establishments are uncomfortable prioritizing appearance over functionality, but this cafe did a good job maximizing the seating space with nice furniture for chatting or working (some tables are marked as no laptop allowed). They have limewashed ceilings and a central island for baristas to make the drinks which makes it relaxing to just sit and watch things happen! They use Modbar under the counter espresso machines which add to the minimalist look. The drinks were decent-I do think the matcha latte could be stronger, but it had a good umami aroma that quality matchas have. The cup size compared to other cafes is smaller too. The bakery items were pricey for the amount, particularly the sweet sourdough toast. It had depth of flavour from the elevated ingredients but ultimately tasted like a nut butter+jam toast. The menu listed mango jam but they used a blueberry jam, changing as necessary seasonally. The cheese scone, ham+cheese croissant, and cookie were all standard.

This place is exactly what this area needs: a nice coffee shop to meet a friend or business associate with a vibe unlike any other. The arched ceilings make it feel like a star wars set yet its not too loud or echo-y inside. We got the breakfast sandwich, pistachio toast, cappucino and matcha latte. Everything was great but prices are a tad on the higher side for this neighborhood. We would get everything again but are also open to try other things on their limited menu. Service was excellent. You can tell the workers are passionate about coffee and the space. There were neat seating nooks all around and a small offering of items to purchase. Definitely a place to check out.

I've been here twice and my favourite is their Iced Matcha Pistachio latte. It's a nice hangout place if you could find a table. It seems to be always busy on the weekends but service is quick. There's lots of street parking nearby too.

We finally got to try out Slo Coffee and surprisingly despite going on a weekend afternoon, there was no lineup and not too bad of a wait. There is a decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors and I absolutely loved the vibes of this cute cafe. They also have a small selection of books from Nooroongji Books from Granville Island which is one of my absolute favourite bookstores! We got a cappuccino and a hibiscus and mango ice tea and both were quite delicious. They both had good flavour and the ice tea specifically was not too sweet. Highly recommend this place and cannot wait to be back to try some of their food options. Definitely a reminder to slow down in life.

Slo Coffee is a wonderful new addition to the Vancouver coffee scene. It's clear that they are passionate about their craft. Their Latte, made using medium-roast beans roasted in house, was packed with delightful fruity and balanced flavors. The Bacon Breakfast Sando, similarly, had care put into every bite. The cafe is located in a very spacious space with a good amount of seating. The staff were also polite and all seemed really excited to be there! I had an amazing experience on my first visit and will definitely be back again very soon.

The interior design here is *chefs kiss* and the coffee was really great. I'll definitely be returning.

The coffee is great and the space is modern and minimal. Staff is very nice. Will come back for sure!
