House of James - Abbotsford

I really enjoyed the fantastic coffee and cozy atmosphere at this restaurant. The wide selection was perfect for browsing and finding something special.

There was a noticeable change before and after COVID at the restaurant. Previously, there were more art and gift options available, but currently, the stock is disappointing in that regard. This was unfortunately the reason we traveled all the way from Surrey to visit. However, the staff were helpful with recommendations. One staff member, whose name I can't remember, was extremely kind and went out of her way to assist our elderly mother who was looking for a gift for a friend. The tea house looked inviting, but we did not try anything from there.

The gelato at this restaurant is delicious, although the variety is limited. However, since it is the only place in Abbotsford to get gelato, I can't really complain. The selection of books is a bit too focused on self-help for my liking.

Nice place..my quiche was a little pricey and there were a few flies around but otherwise I nice coffee shop.

Coffee shop was nice and quiet. Relaxing atmosphere.
