Sip Of Life — Restaurant in Vancouver

It's been a year since I last wrote a review for this place, and today, as I walked by, I was surprised to see it has changed owners and names. So, I decided to visit. The walls have been updated to a beautiful grey with tasteful black and white paintings, creating a calming atmosphere. There’s a wider selection of pastries now, and the everything croissant caught my eye—hard to find outside of JJ Bean Cafes. For coffee, I chose a brewed coffee and a single shot of espresso. The brewed coffee was bland for my taste, but the espresso had a good flavor. The staff was very friendly, greeting me with a big smile. The prices for the pastries were reasonable, but the coffee was a bit pricey, especially since I had to pay for two shots when ordering just one. Overall, it's a great place to visit!. Update: After my recent visit to this coffee shop, I feel compelled to share an updated review based on my experiences. I had the chance to try their winter special—a latte paired with any sandwich for just $13.99. I opted for the Chicken Pesto sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The bread was fresh, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced. Today, I decided to try the Cortado, which came highly recommended by the owner. He confidently assured me it would win me over—and he was right! I also had the Turkey sandwich on multigrain bread, which was equally satisfying. The coffee here is simply amazing—rich, flavorful, and far better than anything I’ve had at Starbucks. I will definitely be coming...

This cafe is kind of unassuming from the outside - you might not notice it if you didn’t know to look, but I’m glad I discovered it! It’s run by a nice couple and the woman who took my order was helpful with my questions. It was hard to choose a savoury item because the quiches and sandwiches all looked great, but I ended up going with a tomato and basil quiche, which I was really happy with - the filling was great, but what really impressed me was the fresh flakey pastry crust. Choosing a dessert was easier because I saw they had tiramisu cake and I am easy to win over with tiramisu, and this lived up to my expectations. The cake also tasted very fresh and I loved the fluffiness of the cream. I wasn’t crazy about the strawberry espresso tonic that I had to drink - the espresso tasted sour (which I think was the espresso and not the tonic, but I don’t get espresso tonic often so I could be wrong). My total was about $20, I would say their prices are reasonable for the quality. Their muffins looked so good and I’m sure I’ll be back...

I generally do not write reviews, but this place deserves it! If you are in Vancouver, you have to visit Livni Café & Bakery. This little café in the Kitsilano area will definitely win a place in your heart. As soon as you enter this coffee shop, you will be transported to a typical cafe in Buenos Aires, Argentina! But not only the ambiance is amazing, also the food is spectacular and the staff is super friendly. Is not surprising that the classic “ medialunas con Dulce de leche” ( kind of a croissant with Dulce de leche) are sold out most of the days! This café’s menu has a variety of lunch items and pastries, but also handmade chocolates that pair up perfect with a nice cup of coffee! So if you are you looking for a new place to try, go to Livni and I can assure that you won’t regret it!!! I had an amazing time here today with a friend, and we’ll definitely pay another...
