41 Best Cafes in Burnaby

“I've been going there for 20 years not for price but for the quality of food and the friendly atmosphere .“

“Cute little Korean cafe specializing in bagel sandwich. Their bagel is not dense Montreal style kind but softer Asian kind. We had an apple and cream cheese sandwich and it was delicious! The bagel was fresh and tasty. We also had a scone and mushroom soup and enjoyed them both. Coffee could be a bit stronger tho. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Easy parking. Friendly service!“

“I remember coming here before a performance at the Massey Theatre a couple years ago so I thought I would try it again.
Like before, the staff greeted me graciously with a smile, confirmed my order and it was quickly made. I had the egg & spinach panini and it was excellent.“

“very fresh & delicious!!!“

“So good. Great, friendly service. A beautiful array of delicious pastries. Awesome coffee.“

“冰品超好吃，環境清幽“

“Mushroom tacos were Legit! Go check them out if you're ever in the area!“

“We were looking for a spot for lunch when in the area and found this one on Google maps. With such high reviews, we figured we'd have to try it. It's a very small restaurant, bit of a hole in the wall. The food was fantastic and the owner seemed really nice. When we went it was about 11:45 and the place was packed. A lot of the people that work in the area go there for lunch. Since most of them were eating soup, I figured we should try it. Great decision. It was delicious. If in the area again we will definitely go back.
I had to give it a four on atmosphere instead of a five just because the place could use a little bit of work. But I don't think anybody goes there for that. They go for the food and the friendliness of the owner.“

“We’re currently on holidays at Whistler (from Australia) and it was a delight to have a nice warm pie for lunch. Good Quality food.“

“Very relaxing environment, you can be here for a coffee, or lunch or even dinner as they offer a variety of drinks and very decent food. We ordered a fettuccine with shrimps, an avocado salad croissant, and a cheese pressed burger with double meat. Everything was so good, especially the burger! It was grilled just right. For dessert, we ordered a tiramisu cake to share. Really love the chilling vibe here.“

“A very nice and warm welcoming cafe. The lady working here was very nice and gave me a wonderful cozy vibe. As if you’re visiting a caring relative. She was very kind and made sure we all found a drink we would enjoy.

The drinks are very delicious and I was very pleased. They use real fruits for some of their drinks and they were very refreshing.

We got 20% off our drinks. The lady told us for the winter months there is 20% off for the season.

I will definitely be back!

I recommend either of the two drinks we got or something made with real fruits!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access“

“I usually don't do reviews of coffee shops since there are way too many in this part of Canada.

What I would say is this particular coffee shop has a nice Vibe and it is quite spacious with tall ceilings. They also have a liquor license which is surprising but when I talked to the owner he said that it came with part of Ellie's contract. So if you want to stop by and enjoy a beverage and not just coffee, this is a place to check out.“

“Heh… Vancouver Brunch Cafe ? Great Restaurant? I found it!Since it's newly opened, they even give out pudding for free?What's going on with the mara pasta? and the rose tteokbokki flavor?? I'm a mala addict, and I'm eating something here that I couldn't even eat in Korea.?The portions are plentiful, the owner and staff are friendly, and the cafe is very clean and cute?I will come often from now on~~~

Kid-friendliness: Baby chair? There is also a baby dining chair.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is a restroom that can accommodate a wheelchair.“

“Matt the barista was on his own today all day due to his associate being sick. I only know this because I overheard him mention it to a regular. My misto was still perfect and it was 2:30pm after 8 hours of keeping this location going all day. Kudos to Matt.“

“Tera’s Bean in Burnaby is a fantastic spot for dessert lovers! We sampled a few of their cheesecakes and ganache treats, and everything was top-tier. The Matcha Basque Cheesecake was rich and creamy with a deep matcha flavor, while the Classic Basque Cheesecake had a perfectly caramelized top and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

We also tried the Matcha Ganache and Chocolate Ganache — both were warm, rich, and incredibly indulgent. The texture and flavor balance were spot on!

The café has a cozy, modern vibe that makes it a great place to relax or catch up with friends. If you’re into high-quality desserts with thoughtful flavors, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

“We ordered a Sanwich Tuna Melt and a Morning Glory Muffin. Sanwich was so tasty with nice surprised, some pickles and the muffin ingredients were so rich with lots of nuts and shredded carrots!!

We greeted by all friendly, smiley staff and the shop was clean and happy to enjoy there!!“

“I am writing this review because a lot of the time when things go wrong during a transaction we post negative reviews. In this case things went wonky during the first transaction, they tried to fix it and it just got more wonky. After talking to Syndey she was very helpful and solved my problem. But what she did after that is what has me in Awwww. She took the issue up with the store owner and they came back to her with and awesome fix. When all was said and done Sydney and the Owners went ABOVE AND BEYOND and i would like to take this moment to recognize that.
Thanks again for all you did and we are truly very GRATEFUL.“

“Some of the best coffee I have had in the lower mainland, so smooth. The deserts were wonderful also. Staff were helpful and very pleasant. Very cozy fun space to drink your coffee in.“

“On a rainy day, I found myself seeking shelter at the Café at Mandeville, and what a delightful discovery it was! The café exudes a cozy vibe that made me feel right at home, especially with a fireplace near our table which added a touch of warmth to the dreary weather outside.

The food and drinks were a hit. I had the picnic, which was great, and an iced Americano that was certainly above average—robust and refreshing. The daily soup was another highlight for me; it was rich, comforting, and exactly what I needed on a chilly day.

The café also boasts a charming outdoor seating area that I took note of for future visits. It seems like the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and meal outdoors, especially with kids. The ambiance of the café, combined with its tasty offerings, makes it a fantastic place to chill with friends or enjoy a family outing.

I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Café at Mandeville, to enjoy not just the ambiance and company but also to relish their food and drinks in the lovely outdoor setting.“

“Breakfast was delicious, hot and very good salad. Rate the coffee as delicious. Overall outstanding.“

“I highly recommend for office catering. we've ordered many times and food always tastes fresh and delicious, service is impeccable and the chef and team are very accommodating.“

“Look at that Vibrant Colour of Macro Salads! Its so pretty. Don't wanna eat it now. Best Take Out Salads I've ever had. Looks good. Tastes good too. Will boost your day with loads of organic and healthy goodness in it. YUM!!“

“Great option for a quick office lunch. Good menu of tasty offerings, fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, reasonably priced. Never had a bad experience there nor have I heard from my colleagues. We are located in the building next door so very convenient and many of us eat here.“

“A peaceful little spot tucked in Burnaby — The Between Café is exactly the kind of place I love when I need a quiet moment or a focused work session.

Their ham & cheese panini is simple, warm, and comforting — perfectly grilled with generous slices of ham and a crisp crust. I paired it with an iced Americano, which had a strong yet smooth flavor, and a hot latte that was well-balanced and not overly milky.

The interior is clean and airy, with modern lighting and a warm atmosphere. Lots of natural light, relaxed music, and no rush — just good vibes and good coffee. Great for studying, chatting, or enjoying a solo coffee break.

Highly recommend if you’re in the Metrotown area or just want to escape the crowds.

✅ Friendly staff
✅ Spacious and calm seating“

“Recently discovered this gem of a diner. It’s so rare to find a place with a diner vibe that doesn’t feel made for Instagram, and this place accomplishes that. It serves up reasonably priced food that makes for a hearty breakfast or lunch.“

“Awesome food and great service! What more could you ask for 👍❤️“

“The line up can be long at peak times, even extending beyond the door of the cafeteria. Food offerings are very reasonably priced and affordable. Food is not bad. Staff are helpful, but not out of their way friendly. Very crowded during lunch with no tables left, however, there is seating outdoors. Food is prepared within 5-15 minutes, depending on item and time. Disposable wooden cutlery is available, self-serve. There is a coffee machine, but it is sometimes out of service.

Wheelchair accessibility: 100% wheelchair accessible“

“Finally writing a review for one of my favourite places to go to study or sit for a bit with a treat! The owners are really nice and their prices are some of the lowest in the area.

This time I got an Earl Grey crepe cake (so cute with a mini Oreo on top!) and a hot matcha latte. This latte always has lots of matcha and is one of my favourite items to get here.

There are several wall outlets and free WiFi. Outside of exam season, it's generally pretty quiet because people tend to go to the more aesthetic coffee shop a couple doors down.“

“This ia loacted in the 3000 level of the Academic Quadrangle in SFU. There are separate Sandwich, Sushi, Soup, Stir fry, Pizza, breakfast and tea with delis counters which serve different food menu. Some of those have daily special items. They have a good selection from many world wide cusines. A subway is also located inside cafe. And there is a large area of chairs and tables that contains different levels of comfort. It is open for breakfast and lunch.

Vegetarian options: There are few options at every station.“

“It is an amazing place with fresh coffee. I start my day by having something from COBS Bakery on Edmonds Street in Burnaby, which Is next door to Waves Coffee. These two shops are side by side and amazing places to spend time each morning. Waves Coffee is strongly recommended. I especially like the story of Muhammad Ali behind the coffee shop.“

“Just had a late lunch, didn’t know what to expect… We had the Chicken Bibimbob, I had the soya sauce and hubby had the spicy. Would strongly recommend them!!“

“Absolutely love this place - the coffee is great, the staff are absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable, and I appreciate it being open early. JJ Bean is solid all over the city and even among them this has gotta be one of the better locations. Note that seating where laptops are allowed to be used is limited and it gets busy later in the day.

Vegetarian options: They always have vegan breakfast sandwiches and muffins/baked goods and carry multiple plant based milks

Parking: Very large mall parking garage right next door, also very accessible by transit (5 minute walk from Skytrain)

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to access venue and has a wheelchair accessible bathroom“

“Great taste and excellent customer services!!!
I had a little issue for scone quality. But Prado cafe made a correction so quick. Makes me so happy. I had an issue for gift card refund of Joey Restaurant before, Joey restaurant was so terrible comparing with Prado cafe’s customer service.
Thanks Prado!!! Shameful Joey restaurant.(Joey restaurant doesn’t have any review page )“

“Compared to KingSpark, Crystal Cafe's drinks are default size Large instead of Regular. They also offer convenient lunch box options where you can pick a few dishes to be served on rice, similar to Manchu Wok. So if you're in a rush to get back to work, this place might be for you! They are extremely generous with their portions as well. If you don't have cash, well they accept Debit for orders over $15 which is a huge at Crystal Mall since many places still don't accept card.

I would say that the flavouring is perfect, it's never too saucy or lacking. The service is what you would expect at a food court but they are quite quick with getting you your food. Highly recommend trying them out.“

“I will glaze this Blenz's until the end of my days. EVERY SINGLE ORDER is always the same outstanding quality. Best Lattes ever on this entire campus. The liquid sugar is complemntary and they will put in as much as you want. The almond croissant is also MIND BLOWING. I genuinely don't know why thier rating is so low when they beat Starbucks and Renaissance Coffee is absolutely everyway. Also, if you have BCAA or Blenz rewards, you can redeem for free dink uprgades and discounts on food, which is something you cannot do at Starbucks since they subcontract to SFU. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Not to mention Blenz's are franchised by local owners, so you are supporting a local business when purchasing!“

“I came here on a Saturday morning in October. The apple oat latte was delicious and the cafe itself is very cute and cozy. There is easy bike and pedestrian access, but it is quiet and tucked away from car traffic. This is a great place to sip and chat!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a long gentle ramp to the front door and the parking area is smoothly paved. The interior is spacious and not crowded with chairs or tables.“

“This is a place where a lot of thought has been put into the overall atmosphere of the store. Neon signs and green plants combined with old-fashioned canvas photos create an atmosphere that is neither too loud nor too heavy.
Each menu was delicious, fitting for this atmosphere, and I was able to have a special experience at Lougheed that was pleasing to the eyes and mouth.“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“

“Came for the plants and stayed for the breakfast! Most excellent Eggs Benedict and the garden seating area was delightful.“
