Fix Cafe is absolutely gangster and should be the singular choice in town for espresso drinkers. Fix is the only cafe in town that can pull a properly balanced espresso (looking at you Rockit Coffee, if my life depended on getting an over extracted espresso i’d come to you mfs), not to mention having one of the only manual espresso machines i’ve seen in Canada, and impressive artistic abilities as a bonus.
Usually i go for an espresso, but something about the day was screaming cortado and croissant. The cortado was outstanding and donned a very photogenic bear. I hate to say anything bad about this place but in contrast to everything else, the croissant was a bit of a flop, however i think that could be solved by heating it up before serving. The other day they had some fresh af focaccia and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since, and i look forward to trying more of the baked goods.
The vibe inside the cafe is also excellent other than the hideously tacky animal paintings. The one i’m sitting next to, titled “Spirit Bear; Ice” looks like it was from getty images and i’m considering paying the $250 and throwing it into the cold plunge opening in the lake. I’m sorry Stacy Bodnaruk whoever you are i know you’re just trying to get your bag but like geeze louise this is just a whistler version of those galaxy scenes the New York street spray paint artists make.
Love all the plants though, especially the snake plants - the best indoor plants at converting carbon dioxide to oxygen. I feel like i’m being taken out of Whistler and into the trendiest corner of La Plateau-Mont-Royal or some other hipster mecca with the indoor jungle vibe.
Wifi password could be more interesting. Maybe something like “StacyBodnarukFan96”
We don’t have to talk to about the haunting fake candles on the logs hanging over head.
The staff all seem very enthusiastic and passionate about providing a great experience and serving high quality food and beverage. Loving the vibes, if i ever wanted to go back to being a barista i’d want to work here.
All in all SLAY...
Read moreI’m here to call out the people who post 4 and less star reviews about this place with comments like “I wish it stayed open later” and rude things about the decorations. Removing a star from your review because you don’t like one of their paintings is cruel. Email them privately and recommend they make some changes. Businesses like this can’t exist without 5 star reviews. Please consider changing your review to 5 starts to help them succeed.Yes, it matters that much. And for what it’s worth, I’m a total stranger.
This place is perfect. The staff is so friendly. The food is delicious and affordable. And finally, they operate a lever espresso machine. For those who don’t know, this is a serious devotion to the coffee craft. When you order from here, take a moment to look at the machine and the process involved. It’s art! My oat milk latte was perfect from start to finish. Balanced and rich. Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you to the staff for making our...
Read moreGood muffin but terrible service. Had to wait at the till while the new staff member struggled with the cash register, which is understandable but no staff made eye contact or acknowledged us in any way. After ordering a takeaway muffin, we again stood awkwardly for several minutes after paying while she fiddled with the register. Eventually I prompted that I would like the muffin to go which she responded to but then returned to the register. Then again we stood awkwardly waiting then eventually asked for my muffin so that we could leave. She finally went over and put a muffin in a to go bag. Very uncomfortable with limited eye contact and interaction. Would skip this cafe for better guest experiences elsewhere. Gluten free available but not labelled so would not go if...
