I don't understand the criticism of this Cafe. This seems like a great improvement: access to healthier snacks, grab-and-go, generally increased lounge space at YVR, better seating options for laptop work, shorter walk to many gates. Similarly, reading the posts here, it feels like I'm the only person who appreciated the introduction of the cafeteria style seating in the main YVR MLL; I always saw it as an improvement to have more diversity of seating (& improving capacity in the process). Personally I will spend more of my time here compared to the YVR lounge, freeing up a lounge chair for somebody else. Sure the YYZ cafe is more impressive but it also has access to a much bigger footprint and I think AC did a great job given their constraints.
