One of two best coffee shops in Terrace. Really good ☕️. Decaf and non-dairy options.

Cafe/pastry order: Iced americano, caramel macchiato, tiramisu, blueberry cheesecake. The coffee has a rich, roasted, full taste! No sour after taste. Both of the pastries were really good and not too sweet. It looks like they have different specialty pastries/cake every time, which is nice. Definitely way better than other “trendier”/“newer” places in Terrace. Brunch order: special chicken bowl, pad thai, pomegranate raspberry homemade iced tea. Hubby liked the special chicken bowl; a karaage-type chicken with mayo, teriyaki sauce topping. The pad thai looks like a popular dish in this place, but it was mediocre-tasting/does not taste “authentic”… The noodles had a strong starchy smell and taste, and the sauce looked pale. I also wish it was served in a bowl for easier eating/mixing. Atmosphere wasn’t the best; it looks like it’s a fusion between an old restaurant and a cafe (maybe they’re in the process of updating?). They had a lot of spots to access plug-ins so it was nice. Would definitely visit again for the coffee and pastries!

Extremely good Americano. Pleasantly surprised to find Korean fried chicken served after 2. The salt and pepper chicken was delicious—crispy and flavourful. Decor is inoffensive if very dated and rather unappealing. Nice local artwork hung up. Service was quick and relatively friendly.

I love this place, good music, happy customers and staff and good food. The only issue I have is the last time I went there they mixed up my teas, I requested liquorice tea and was given peppermint tea. Not the biggest deal and easy to mix up so I didn't think it was worth making a scene in store about. I will modify this review the next time I visit if no other problems ensue. Also do not go here between 11-12 space can get a little low.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafenara, and it was a delightful experience that left me satisfied and impressed. This cozy hideaway offers a welcoming atmosphere and serves delicious food, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, overall, I would rate my experience at Cafenara with a solid 4/5. Upon entering Cafenara, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. The interior is tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and cozy setting. The café has a rustic charm with its wooden accents and comfortable seating arrangements, making it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee. The menu at Cafenara offers a variety of options to suit different tastes. From breakfast items to sandwiches and salads, there is something for everyone. I had the opportunity to try their signature dishes, and I must say, the food was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced. The presentation of the dishes was also appealing, adding to the overall dining experience. The staff at Cafenara were friendly and attentive. They provided prompt service and were knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations and accommodating special requests. The customer service contributed positively to the overall experience, creating a welcoming and pleasant environment. In terms of pricing, Cafenara offers reasonable prices for the quality of food and service provided. It offers good value for the dining experience and is suitable for individuals or groups looking for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. In conclusion, Cafenara is a charming hideaway that offers delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. The menu provides a range of options, and the flavors are impressive. The friendly staff and inviting ambiance add to the overall appeal of the café. Although there were occasional delays during busy periods, the overall experience was positive. If you're looking for a comfortable and tasty dining spot, Cafenara is definitely worth a visit.

Probably the best place to relax and have coffee in Terrace. Good WiFi, comfortable seats, a wide selection of baked goods and a large number of beverages. Lots of room if you have a few friends coming along. Prices after COVID seem to be fair.

Not terrible place, my milk was burnt in my latte, and it was watered down. Honestly not terrible food. Giving two stars because the place is confusing is it a cafe? Kind of, Asian cuisine, library/book couch area and art on the walls. There was no music playing, but ladies at the front were nice. Bring your own Lysol wipes as tables were dirty.

Decent coffee and a nice interior. Disappointing service - friendly and polite in general but had a strange experience with one of the staff: I ordered a pasta lunch that comes with garlic bread. I was informed by a staff that they burnt my garlic bread; theyd have to make it again and let me know when its ready - which was totally fine with me. After waiting for half an hour, when I was done my pasta, they didnt even think of telling me the truth until I asked again, and their reply was, Oh. We burnt your garlic bread again. Is it okay if you dont have your garlic bread? (word-for-word quotation) The staff wasnt rude, and I honestly didnt care about the garlic bread. I also didnt mind mistakes, even when its made twice in a row. But to be asked if its okay to not have a part of the meal that I paid for because of their mistakes? Thats just really strange. This may not be representative of the cafes service in general, but I really suggest a better training of staff.

I got the same quality service, food, and coffee every single time I came here. It is a busy place and I can see why, they run a very professional business and the coffee and food were excellent. Never felt the need to try any other coffee shops in Terrace after coming here.

They made my coffee by the precise specifications. The detail! The precision!! But the best part, MOST IMPORTANT PART. IS THEY HAVE VERY GOOD ASIAN CUISINE. I order spicy wonton soup and the wontons are blowing my mind. Go here. Go here now. The bad reviews are lies.
