    What a wonderful gem in down town Kamloops. It's directly across the street from the Delta Hotel where we were staying and not far from the hospital. The staff were all kinda and engaging. Really enjoyed their iced mocha as it was not too sweet. They have a nice variety of coffees on hand as well so something for everyone. The room is warm and has lots of windows and natural light Seating is at a few tables and along the windows as bar style. They have lots of plants in the place too. Didn't try any food options but they had some baked goods and some items in a fridge to be heated up.

    We have had Americano’s for three days in a row with a muffin or a breakfast sandwich. Somewhat woke staff but still friendly and polite. The order is always accurate and the food is good.

    Great customer service, and incredible coffee! I'm typically there working for a couple hours (either remote work or studying) and they never bothered me. It can be busy during non-business hours, however there is a fair bit of seating. If you are looking to do a bit of work, they have wifi available or you can mosey into the library and find a quiet place to knock out some work. You can purchase coffee equipment and beans there too. They have local roasters and a few others from the states. Highly recommend. Notably my favourite coffee downtown.

    Over a 5 week long holiday in Canada, this was by far the best coffee that I came across! An absolute delight — I’ve been thinking about it ever since. A must visit if you love a well extracted espresso and perfectly frothed milk!

    Staff don't greet customers and seem more interesting in their personal conversation than doing their jobs. Tables are left dirty. Food and drinks are mediocre. The modern industrial atmosphere is nice, but chairs and booths are uncomfortable and feel cheap. Seems like the owner puts more attention into the aesthetic than the quality of goods and service being provided.

    I have only gone there for a brief moment for a snack. However, I immediately liked what they had to offer. I had one of their Apple Cinnamon with Oatmeal cookie and I enjoyed every bite of it. The cafe itself had pretty soothing atmosphere while I was sitting there to enjoy my snack. Perhaps next time when I am in Kamloops again, I will really stay at the Amplified Cafe.

    My second time here in two years. I’d say the coffee is ok. The food is ok. Service is good. Is this an exceptional coffee experience? I can’t say so. Would I make it a point to come for the pastries? Prob not. Just a convenient spot in the neighbourhood.

    The atmosphere at Amplified Cafe is bright and inviting. Coffee and food have been amazing every single time I've been there, and the folks working so hard are so lovely. I can say that the mocha and kale & vegetable wrap are a great combination for early mornings. Thank you for such wonderful experiences. ❤️

    My favourite coffee shop in downtown Kamloops. I've been there a handful of times and each time the quality of the coffee and pastry is top notch. The staff are quite friendly and take their time to ensure the quality of the drink for each person. Also the seating and atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. Highly reccomend!

    Amplified met and exceeded expectations! Located in a bright and warm venue with great coffee and good food options. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. The plants are a nice touch. Convenient downtown location beside the library. It’s a great place to get some work done or meet a friend.
