Terrain Coffee Project — Restaurant in Vancouver

I’ve been dealing with really bad stress-induced insomnia, and unfortunately I was scheduled for a 12 hour shift after very little sleep. I’m very close to serval restaurants in Portland but none of them have iced mocha on their menu, which I REALLY wanted this morning to help keep awake.

Terrain Coffee Project was the only coffee shop that 1. Picked up the phone, and 2. Had iced mocha for sale.

I only get a 10 minute break, and google said I was a 5 minute drive away from Terrain coffee project, so I ordered my iced mocha over the phone to save time. Then I hit the break button and drove over there. I’m going to be honest I did NOT hide my bad mood from the barista that answered, but he remained courtesy and polite and patient with me for the duration of the call, and he took my order and began to work on it. He didn’t tell me to calm down, he didn’t refuse service to me, he just took my bad mood in stride, understood it had nothing to do with HIM PERSONALLY and everything to do with my situation (that being bad insomnia + a 12 hour shift + having to hunt for a place to buy the kind of coffee I wanted). I thanked him, gave him my name, and drove over.

Terrain Coffee Project is pretty close to Officers Row in downtown Vancouver, where the Vancouver Library is. I’m not a huge fan of this part of town because the parking tends to be a logistical nightmare, which was the LAST thing I wanted to deal with while running on 2 seconds of sleep trying to find an unfamiliar location I’ve never been to before.

GPS told me I was here, but I looked around at all the buildings and I did NOT see a sign that said “Terrain Coffee Project”, so I called the store again to ask for directions, once again not bothering to disguise the irritation in my voice. Once again, the incredibly patient and polite and honestly I’m gonna say kind barista was patient with me and said “oh, are you the white Subaru I see?” And I said yes.

I found a place to park and I actually saw him come out of the store with my coffee and walk across the street to hand it to me.

I got out of my car and asked him “I still need to go inside to pay for it, right?”

And he said it was no trouble. I asked him again if he was sure and he said not to worry about it. MANAGERS IF YOU’RE READING THIS PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS NICE MAN IN TROUBLE HE EARNED MY BUSINESS BECAUSE NOW I KNOW WHERE YOUR STORE IS AND HOW TO GET THERE AND I WILL IN FACT SPEND MONEY THERE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOUR EMPLOYEE WAS NICE TO ME ON A REALLY BAD DAY. PLEASE DO NOT FIRE HIM FOR THAT.

Scout’s honor, I promise I WILL spend money there again in the future. I work really close to Terrain Coffee Project, and me and my mom enjoy going to that part of Vancouver all the time anyway, PLUS, I don’t like the coffee from Starbucks anymore so I could use a convenient coffee house alternative to Starbucks that does iced mochas which I love, and Terrain Coffee Project is it, babe.

In fact, after I submit this review I’m gonna put Terrain Coffee Project into my phone with its number and address so it’s even EASIER for me to find again.

So, he just earned you a new loyal customer, so please, DO NOT PUNISH HIM FOR IT.

I’ll see you...

Coffee was tasty at this Specialty Coffee Shop. The crew was friendly, and they didn’t appear to be overly controlling with table time limits like other popular shops that limit your usage.

They have a flagship espresso blend and another offering available for espresso shots. Without asking I received a pallet cleanser as well. A quad shot ran $4 plus tax/tip. It’s a stylish urban spot with exposed brick. A little tight space wise if you plan to stay a while. They also offer bean subscription delivery. You can check them out on their website and follow them on Instagram. They don’t currently have a FB page… a similar brand in Europe came up, but nothing local.

Furthermore, I am curious as to what the “Project” is within their name, as I could not find anything referencing a “project” on their website. Perhaps some clarification of this within their about me or mission statement would be necessary.

Note: parking is a bit tough with popular restaurants nearby. I had to do several circles to find a spot. I used parking kitty for...
