John Ward Fine Coffee - Nelson

Negative aspects: There was a strong odor of stale coffee in the air, which should have prompted me to leave but I stayed. The latte was over-extracted, making it so strong that any distinct flavor was lost, and the milk was oversteamed. Similar to my experience at Oso Negro, the leftover coffee ended up being used as a planter.

We stopped for coffee and snacks on our way back to Kelowna, and it was a great choice. Many of the items are made in-house, and both the drinks and food were outstanding. The prices were quite reasonable too.

The coffee here is fantastic, and the staff is very friendly. It's a lovely spot to relax and catch up with friends.

The service here is always friendly, and the coffee is perfect every time. It's my favorite spot for coffee in Nelson, and the scones are fantastic as well!

This coffee shop had a clean and bright interior, and the staff were friendly. We ordered two cold brews, a breakfast sandwich, and banana bread. The cold brews were somewhat weak, I would rate them a 6 out of 10. The breakfast sandwich, while delicious, was quite small—almost unfairly so, considering how good it tasted. I’d rate the flavor a perfect 10 out of 10, even without any meat. However, its small size left me wishing for 2 or 3 more. The banana bread was also very good, featuring chunks of banana. Overall, I would recommend this place.
