Blaq Sheep Coffee House & Bistro opened last December on Pacific Boulevard. Although slightly out of the way from the Yaletown core, this coffee house and bistro is a cozy space to stay for a while catching up with a friend over coffee/tea or to do some work on your own. MMV writer Manveet and I both ordered standard tea-based drinks, however, we were told that Blaq Sheep’s mochas are made with a spicy cajun kick. Soups, sandwiches and sweet baked good are also available. Blaq Sheep is open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week. Check it out the next time you are looking for an independent alternative to Starbucks, Blenz or Waves.
