This is a small Italian cafe/coffee shop located on The Drive. I passed by the place during a recent visit to Renzo’s Cafe, and decided to check it out. They had the TV on when I visited, and it was quite loud inside. They have a pretty good selection of various casual bites: I got a White Chocolate Raspberry Biscotti, Tiramisu, and Limoncello Cake. The treats were all fairly enjoyable; unfortunately, I did find some of the fare to be a bit old/stale. While this isn’t a place that I’d revisit, it is worth checking out if you happen to be near the area.White Chocolate Raspberry Biscotti ($3.50):3/5The cookie seemed to be a bit old, and had a slightly stale flavour and was not as crispy as I would have liked. It was still fairly tasty however, and had a nice fragrance, as well as a good flavour from the white chocolate icing. Strangely, I did not get any raspberry flavour however, even though I could clearly see a layer of it.Tiramisu ($5):4/5I love tiramisu, and this version did not disappoint. The cake was just light and soft, while the layers of cream/mousse were absolutely luscious. It had a great fragrance of coffee, and a wonderful balance between bitter and sweet. This may not traditional in that there were no ladyfingers, but it is delicious nonetheless.Limoncello Cake ($5):3.5/5The cake was soft and light, and had a great tang from the layer of limoncello jelly. I enjoyed the white chocolate, which lent a nice fragrance and went well with the citrus. It did seem to be a bit old however, and tasted slightly stale.Summary:Food: 3.5/5Price: 4/5Service: N/AOverall: 3.5/5Recommendations: Tiramisu
Two things. This place will always have soccer games on the screen and old Italian men playing chess and discussing life. During Italian day this place is packed with people wanting the best coffee to go. This by far is one of the best espressos in vancity. Last but not least, this place has charm and character. It’s been here for years.
