Outpost — Restaurant in Port Moody

Went on a weekend afternoon and there were a couple parking spots available. The building is connected to a parking lot, so there are more spots beyond designated Outpost spots.

The space is open and bright with a number of seating options available. The place was busy, so quite a few of the seats were occupied, but there were a few seats open at the bar area. There seems to be an area that is kid-friendly with a number of toys available as well. There is an online menu accessible by QR code, as well as a hard-copy menu at the till. Staff were prompt in taking the order and made the drinks right away.

Ordered a matcha tea latte and iced mocha, both of which were served in 12oz glasses. The matcha was smooth and rich in flavour with quite the amount of foam at the top. There is a slight bitter aftertaste to the matcha latte. The iced mocha also had a strong flavour and tasted better after stirring, as the sweeter syrup tends to stick to the bottom.

Price for the two drinks was fair, approximately $5.50 for each.

We stayed for less than an hour, and a number of people came and went. It seems like the staff do not rush people out, so it would be a good place to work or meet...

Really nice aesthetic at this coffee shop, which is situated alongside a presentation centre and also features a small pop-up shop from Fable (housewares). The layout is very open but still features a good amount of comfortable seating including seating for large groups, and a beautiful patio out back. The service was friendly. I had a blackberry & brie grilled cheese, a vegan rye cookie, and a tropical espresso spritz (seasonal drink, like an espresso tonic with coconut and pineapple flavours). Everything was really good! I love fruit with brie cheese so the grilled cheese was an easy winner for me. The blackberry spread was tart and jammy which balanced out the rich brie cheese. I loved the funky flavour of rye in the cookie and the chewiness. The espresso spritz was very refreshing in this hot weather! It had deflated a little by the time I took the picture, but it had an impressively foamy crema layer. Even though nothing was really fancy or experimental, all the food/drink items I tried had something to make them a...

Today I visited this coffee shop that was recommended by a friend, and I was impressed by the uniqueness of both the interior and exterior design. The outdoor seating area was adorned with lights and some seats even had heaters above them. The indoor area also had a distinct and interesting design. I ordered a mocha and a Cosmic Candy espresso, and only saw two types of pastries available at the counter, so I chose chocolate cookies. As we had our dog with us, we decided to sit outside. The mocha had a great taste, but the espresso wasn’t my preferred flavor .. The chocolate cookie had a soft texture and a slightly salty taste, which I really enjoyed. I was glad I bought two pieces of it.

Overall, the experience was good, although the staff wasn't particularly friendly. I'm interested in trying their Creamy Artichoke sandwich next...
