Black Rock Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Vancouver

I have reoccurring pancreatitis so I'm sensitive to sugar and get pretty painful flare-ups when I have more than a few grams of it. So naturally I always order sugar free rebel with sugar free flavors. I'd say about 25% of the time they get it wrong and I'm in pretty bad pain for a few hours.
