You know, it,'s coffee but really nothing terrific. I actually found it stronger than I usually like it. Had I known their coffee was that stiff I probably would have asked them to add a hot of hot water to remove the sharp taste from my drink. Don't recall the price but probably paid more for this coffee that I would normally done. I was on this side of town to attend a dance class and was earlier than I needed to be so thought I'd grab a 'good cup of coffee'. Might have been better off going across the street to Mac's and as much as I hate those wee creamers, they would have tasted much better & I would not have tossed the coffee into the gutter and been so much happier before my dance class - which has been closed (yet again) due to CoronaVirus.
Oh yippee, I am officially signed up for my rabies shot, forever more to be called a darned RABIES SHOT tomorrow at Canada Place. I received my text today confirming all the other details, short sleeves and be there 5 minutes before and stay 15 minutes afterwards. Instructions included if you needed to cancel and info about a QR Code which I thought they wanted you to use your code for another magic password. Some places during CoVid have required use of a QR Code to gain entry, so I pushed the hyperlink and was taken to some Salesforce website, this happened TWICE. I didn't want to lose my booking so phone the government AGAIN. I told them what happened. Customer Service guy, said ",don't worry" that I have my booking. I told him I had to double check with them because MAYBE if I didn't use the car code I might lose my position & that if this is their magic booking system he should pass my concerns along because there will be more people like me who worry about things like this that are very important and maybe you need to get your website/text communication system checked out again ,- and maybe get afew others sent through as a ',test' just to make sure THE GOVERNMENT isn't giving innocent people a virus on their computer or phone, thanks...
Read moreI keep seeing reviews and testimonials about Grounds serving the best cinnamon buns in Vancouver, so I've been wanting to try it for a while. I finally had the opportunity to try one because of my recent overpowering craving for cinnamon buns.
I had cinnamon buns from a few places in the past week, so my review of Grounds' buns will be compared to buns from Cartems at Main St. and Cinnzeo at Metrotown.
Considering the hype, I was disappointed with the buns. I personally liked Cartems and Cinnzeo's buns much more because theyre much more fluffy and soft. The buns I got from Grounds buns weren't fluffy. They were also too sweet and I'm quite tolerant to sweet foods. Though the bun I got from Cinnzeo tasted undercooked at the very centre, the rest of it was so very soft and the frosting was great.
Grounds has the best price for their cinnamon buns though! $4 per bun and $14 for 4 buns. There are other prices for larger quantities as well.
I also got a London Fog and that was okay, but not frothy enough for my personal preference.
It's all personal preference, but I wouldn't come back because it's not fluffy and soft, too sweet, and the location is quite far from where I live by transit.
The place has plugs for laptops and wifi so its great for school work. Might not be the best ppace if you need to concentrate because it can be quite loud. They get pretty busy starting late morning/noon time. I was there for a few hrs working on my assignment and couldnt concentrate even with...

Its mission and values of respect, integrity, community, care, and quality are palpable. The friendly staff and their meticulous attention to food preparation and ethically sourced, locally-grown ingredients make for an unforgettable experience.
Now, let's talk about the stars of the show - the cinnamon buns. I've tried many, but none have come close to these. Soft, delicious, and reminiscent of the homemade ones my grandmother used to make, they truly live up to their reputation. Each bun is made fresh daily and is a testament to the commitment and care that goes into the preparation. Pro tip: if you have any left over icing or sugar, stirring it into your coffee makes for an unexpectedly delightful twist.
The warmth and character of Grounds for Coffee extend beyond the food. There's also some cozy seating, making it a great spot to unwind or catch up on some work. Plus, it's not just the cinnamon buns that are worth the visit. The coffee is top-notch, and the café takes pride in offering nothing short of premium organic coffee.
In conclusion, Grounds for Coffee is more than just a coffee shop, it's a must-visit if you're in Vancouver. Whether you're planning a road trip to the mountains or just need a pick-me-up, consider getting a box of six cinnamon buns. Trust me, you...
