Arabica’s first location in BC, and we made the drive to Whistler to check out this trending and viral spot.
First impressions? Outstanding! The interior design is stunning—it truly felt like stepping inside an igloo. The craftsmanship of the coffee preparation by the barista was impressive.
As a coffee enthusiast who has tried beans from various origins, I found the taste okay but not exceptional—it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. However, the ambiance makes up for it, making it a great place to hang out with loved ones.

A unique highlight? The washroom experience! Loved the Japanese technology touch. Overall, a beautiful space with a great vibe—worth visiting at least once!

Arabica Coffee brings its signature Kyoto-inspired minimalism and exceptional coffee to Whistler, and it does not disappoint. The space is sleek, modern, and inviting—perfect for coffee lovers who appreciate both aesthetics and quality. Their coffee is among the best I’ve had, with rich flavors and expert craftsmanship in every cup. Whether you're a casual coffee drinker or a true aficionado, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Given % Arabica’s reputation for high-quality beans, we expected more from the Kyoto Latte ($6.95). Unfortunately, the flavour was lacking the depth we were hoping for. The latte art was beautiful, and service was impressively quick—especially with just one person handling everything, but the drink itself was lukewarm. A visually nice experience, but not backed up by taste.

Great Equipment but Limited Bean Selection
Arabica Whistler has some top-notch coffee equipment, and the brewing is quick and efficient. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, perfect for enjoying your coffee. However, the flavor of the beans didn’t quite wow me as much as the coffee I’ve had in Japan.
The shop roasts a small selection of beans in-house, but I found the variety to be quite limited. The traffic wasn’t high, so it’s a peaceful place to stop by, but I hope they expand their bean selection in the future.
Overall, it’s a solid spot for coffee, but there’s room for improvement in terms of variety.

% Arabica is quite popular in Asia, so I had some quite some expectation for the Whistler location. Went in one a weekday at 10am, it was rather empty inside, very clean, the white interior makes it looks spacious. There is a roasting machine I believe next to the cashier. Staff was friendly, ordered a small latte, the espresso taste was not as strong as I would like it to be even tho it was a double shot, and advertised as "balanced, smooth and strong coffee taste".
