I ordered a latte and it was everything I expected for the price. They use good coffee beans for sure but it was still overpriced. I had a slice of banana bread as well and it was pretty good — a tad too moist but I would order it again. My friend had their bacon breakfast sandwich and we were both less than impressed. The sandwich was wrapped in plastic wrap and honestly looked like something you’d get at a college cafeteria. My friend said it was greasy and tasted worse than Tim Horton’s.

The staff was very kinda and attentive. I was looking at their desserts and one gentleman quickly asked if I wanted something. I told him I was trying to figure out what I was going to order. Once I figured it out a lady was there to take my order. Very good service and a great atmosphere. Would return next time I’m in the area.

Best coffee in town, the beans being JJ Bean, a vancouver roast. This family owned and operated business takes tremendous pride in this business making high quality food and drink. Food is prepared by 5 star pastry chef, Carly, and her team and always looks gorgeous. Special orders welcome and gluten free soups sweets, and occasionally sandwiches are available. This place knows you BYNAME and often even knows your drink.

One of the best places in Kamloops to get an americano. The real hidden secret of this place is their baked goods. Best cake around.

Nice atmosphere and décor. Friendly staff. We stopped in for a coffee and sandwhich. I had the macaroni and cheese one, innovative, but it was still cold on the inside. Hard to warm it up on a panni grill I guess. We also had the breakfast burrito, that was tasty and hearty. The coffee is good, JJ roasts good stuff. Wish we had time to try dessert, they looked good. I wonder if they make them in house? If they do then a big bonus. Would go back again.

Place is good… For Kamloops, it’s probably one of the better options. I think it’s a REALLY reaching to say that it’s on par with the best shops in Vancouver though. The desserts are spot-on and they have the right beans, but I dunno… Missed the mark somewhere. Maybe it was the technique of the baristas on the few occasions I stopped in? I definitely can’t put them on the same level as JJ Bean, Revolver, and 49th Parallel, but they’re a top local option if you’re trying to get away from regular coffee.

It’s really good, but it’s a bit too bourgeoise for me.

So glad to have the reviews on this. Thanks Unilocalers. A great little funky coffee+ shop in downtown. I had a latte and chorizo wrap for breakfast during a business trip. Both were tremendous. The line up AFTER I arrived indicates that is NOT a HIDDEN gem. They use JJ Beans and vary the blend used based the drink made. They used Eastside in mine. I prefer the Espresso JJ but won’t hold that against them.

This is a must visit. The coffee is amazing and the quality of the food is on level with the Quality of the coffee. And the staff provides a friendly hipster-without-pretense. My partner insists we visit every time we are in Kamloops. Perhaps the best café in Western Canada.

This isn’t just the best coffee place in Kamloops… I’m from Vancouver where there is «fancy» coffee on literally every block and this place beats anywhere I’ve been hands down. Iw was there for breakfast and the southwest breakfast wrap blew my mind. If you’re on kamloops and you like coffee or food, go here. Seriously, do it.

I will visit this coffee shop and the one in the student building at TRU… There is nowhere else in Kamloops to get decent coffee… And it’s family owned and operated. Very nice to see the whole family working on a weekend. These people deserve all the credit there is and every bit of support a community could offer.

Motivo consistently makes the best espresso beverages in Kamloops. I am always very satisfied with the quality of the drinks, food, and service I get there. I usually order ua sugar free caramel latte(Motivo is one of the only places that uses sugar free syrups that are pleasant to taste), an americano, or a seasonal selection. The foam on the lattes is always perfect. The wonderful people who work at Motivo are genuinely friendly. The service is prompt. I appreciate the gluten free selections that they offer, including muffins, soups, sandwiches, salads, cookies, and more. They make lovely Sunday brunches as well. I highly recommend trying Motivo if you haven’t already. You won’t regret it.

The espresso here is on a level with the best coffee shops in Canada. The ONLY place between Calgary and Vancouver where you can get a ‘real’ espresso for a world class barista. Nice urban coffee shop feel in down town Kamloops. Glad I found this place. I can’t wait to get back and try more of their items. The food looks amazing as well.
