Review Summary

Foil Gallery is widely recognized for its unique, aesthetically pleasing industrial design and its innovative concept as a contemporary art gallery and café. Many visitors praise the high quality of the specialty drinks, particularly the matcha and creative seasonal lattes, and appreciate the immersive atmosphere that combines rotating art exhibits with a stylish, modern interior. While the space is frequently described as a refreshing and creative destination to enjoy art and refreshments, feedback regarding the overall experience is mixed. Some patrons highlight exceptional, friendly service and a welcoming environment, whereas others note inconsistencies in staff interaction, perceiving a sense of elitism or a lack of warmth. Additionally, while the beverage quality is consistently lauded, some visitors find the limited food selection and premium pricing to be drawbacks, with several reviewers expressing frustration regarding the expectation of tips at the point of sale.

A bit more Expensive than other coffees ($9 matcha's) but the gallery is completely worth it, so I will keep on coming back.

Also, the best matcha I've had!!!

Such a cool place, the atmosphere is amazing. The matcha was very green & wasn't overly sweet. The building itself is unique & contains many elements of contemporary art. I would definitely recommend to go here. 10/10.

We tried the iced matcha latte, iced vanilla latte, iced chai latte, & the iced hibiscus; they were not worth the money. The coffee beans were bitter & sour. The matcha was overpriced. We've tried matcha/coffee from Toronto, LA, New York, & many major hubs in North America. They were all much better & reasonably priced. (For all those commenting this was the best coffee/matcha… please review your tastebuds). The matcha was $13!!! That's an insane price for matcha & the cup wasn't even full. Don't get me started on the 25 cent charge (per drink) if you're getting takeout… newsflash, this isn't BC. The iced chai latte was unbelievably sweet even after adjusting the sugar. At least the girls working there were so sweet (just like that chai latte). We didn't try any pastries so can't really comment on those but the drinks were NOT worth it, don't waste your money! All for supporting small businesses however this was extremely disappointing considering the amount of the good reviews :(

Great service & great coffee! Even though the coffee is a little pricey it makes up in its distinctive taste & service.
The barista was working alone, but was quick, efficient, & very friendly. His service was excellent, & he even brought customers their orders to their seats, which was a nice touch.
