Have been a fairly regular customer of this coffee house for many years. The quality of the beverages and food is solid though pricey if you are not used to West Van pricing. For the very first time today I settled into an empty table to do a little bit of work. Although the space is set up for reduced covid seating there were plenty of empty tables throughout my stay. Also being consciencious I made sure to order multiple items during my visit so that I wasn't camping without providing some income.

Long story short he was very rude, said well I didn’t make it so how am I supposed to know what it is or who it’s for. My husband tasted the warm beverage and it was apple. All around very disappointing experience. All three employees seemed like they would rather be...
Read moreQuick 10min caffeine-snack stop at Delany's Dundarave early Tuesday afternoon. Bright new mod interior vibe and uber-friendly people.
The walls of its spacious location display paintings by local artists (land/seascape pieces shown in my photos by Danyne Johnston), while many outside tables fronting Marine Drive and winding along central covered breezeway lead to a back landscaped view terrace.
Delany's has broad array of generously-sized fresh paninis, sandwiches, croissants, many delicious baked goods, beverages, and of course, specialty coffees. My latte was creamy superb and Smartie cookie rather tasty.
