45 Best Coffee Shops in Burnaby

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

“Really cute cafe with a light and airy atmosphere! Great choice of desserts that are so pretty they would make good gifts. Had a salmon-avocado sandwich and an iced Spanish latte. The latte was really pretty with huge ice cubes and a cardboard cuff on the cup that was hand stamped with the cafe’s cute logo, giving it an artisanal feel. The flavour was well balanced and custardy with a dessert-like feel. The salmon sandwich was huge and wrapped in paper so it was easy to eat. It was really fresh with delicate flavours, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. While I really enjoyed it, I found it a little too sweet for my taste and was not a big fan of the cinnamon in the pickles, however, this was a matter of personal taste. The cafe is spotlessly clean and a great place to study, work or meet with friends. The staff were really friendly and attentive.“

“I am a self-proclaimed espresso nerd. Mainly, I brew my own at home and try different beans because a lot of the cafes near me make very underwhelming or outright bad espresso.

Went to Single V finally after meaning to try it for over a year.

One of the best cups I've had in a long time. Really makes my normal shots at home seem bad. Truly great espresso. Bright, juicy, florally, but not acidic or bitter. It was wonderfully balanced with so many enjoyable notes. Croissant was great too, but the coffee was near perfect for me. Will definitely try and return when I'm on the area again!“

“The best brazilian food in the lower mainland area!
Fresh and selected ingredients, great service, great place. Almost feels like being back home (Brazil). Highly recommended the feijoada and the best carrot cake that you will eat.
Also the brazilian buffet serving style is the best!!!!

Vegetarian options: Few veggie options.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options“

“A nice quiet place for any travelers and locals to sip on a nice cup of coffee. Its right between the Rural side of the country with only Coffee Monster in sight, and the busy ramp up areas down Waterfront/YaleTown of Vancouver. If you're looking for a place to rest and smooth up your tired travels, this is one stop worth dropping by.“

“Best Americano I've had for ages. Nice atmosphere, and inviting decor. Overall, a decent place to stop for coffee.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. I came here specifically to eat mango ice cream.
Rich mango flavor and lots of ingredients
I particularly like their small meatballs, which are glutinous and fragrant.
It’s best eaten with Mianmianbing
The boss is very nice and Mianmian Bing is very attentive.
Have a great time eating“

“I absolutely LOVE this Waves location. Morad and his team are always so welcoming. I am greeted so wonderfully when I come here. I Cannot recommend this Waves location enough!

I am really grateful to this awesome team!
I wish i could give more than 5stars!

All the best team!

“Yummy food and delicious drinks“

“A quaint little cafe tucked into the Brentwood mall food court, Soon Coffee caught my eye with its charming combination of blue, light pink, and white decor, adorned with adorable illustrations: a visual treat that initially drew me in.

The space, though small, was well-utilized, creating an inviting atmosphere. I opted for an iced americano and a chocolate chip cookie, simple items that were hard to mess up. The staff were warm but seemed slightly uncoordinated. For instance, I ordered a small iced americano but received a larger size instead. This wasn't a problem for me, but it could be concerning if another customer experienced the reverse situation. Although I was the only one waiting, the barista had to call for me from across the counter and ask me what I ordered, which was strange. It seemed like they were new, so I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. As for the food, the chocolate chip cookie was mediocre. The center was unbaked and it tasted as if it were missing an ingredient. However, the iced americano, which was unexpectedly sweet, balanced the bold, dark flavours of the coffee beautifully.

Overall, Soon Coffee is a really cute spot that I'd like to visit more often should I find myself at Brentwood.“

“Amazing staff! Great options and a friendly feel! My favourite place to go!“

“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 )“

“Had breakfast here recently and it was great! It was busy but since it was just 2 of us we got seated surprisingly quickly. The decor inside is really and has a decent sized space.

I had a Norwegian eggs benny and it was so good. It was really good quality lox and the perfect amount of onions and tomatoes. The hollandaise was rich and delicious, and the hash browns were both crispy and fluffy while still tasting like potatoes. Actually I got the spicy hollandaise though I didn't find it was spicy at all, but my tolerance is super high.

My bf had the Ray's Extravaganza skillet and that was really good as well. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice and good coffee. A minor thing was that the fresh orange juice wasn't cold, which makes sense.

We also had awesome service from Om! Thinking we'll have to come back and try the burgers. Or just have breakfast here again!“

“The taste of the coffee beans that you roast yourself is very good! The price is reasonable and the owner is nice too ^^It's hard to find because it's located inside a mall on the second floor. I recommend it if you come to Hannam Mall!“

“Inside the Sinclair center. Coffe was good, food options not as much. Being close to the gym it's a good spot for a refreshment or a casual coffee. They do have benches to sit in but they were a bit dirty. I don’t think they get much cleaning. Service was fast. Plenty of parking in front but can get busy quickly, especially when games start.“

“Yummy!!! Located inside lougheed station, a great snack stop. They have everything! They have real boba (real ingredients not artificial syrups), I got their Tuna Gimbap and Banana Taro (requested this combination myself since they are flexible) great price for the size. Friendly service.“

“Went there today around 3:30. It’s a really great and nice coffee shop for everyone to visit. The girl in the front was super friendly and she helped me with the menu as I have never been to waves coffee before and the coffee tasted really good as well. Will recommend again.“

“Friendly staff.. nice service..I recommend you visit“

“This is a small cafe at Avalon Dairies.
We rode 35 km in the rain because everyone wanted lunch, but especially ice cream.

Wheelchair accessibility: There’s enough parking. The restaurant is flat going in and around, but it’s a tight fit.“

“I am greatful had a chance to visit this place. Natural atmosphere. Was pretty busy even it was weekday. Delicious pasrty. Beautiful serve of any drinks. Credits to mango ice cream

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Just a small Starbucks at Safeway and some staff working there were not very welcoming or trained to properly serve some basic stuff, but it depends on the day you go there.

The majority of the time is your basic Starbucks level of service. Nice drinks, warm food, and good service overall.“

“Cosy atmosphere, best place to take a break“

“Came to this location and was pleasantly surprised by the great customer service I’ve received. People working at this location are very nice and helpful. Best Starbucks location. Thank you for staying so positive and friendly Dexter, Charmie, and Jocelyn!“

“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“

“I recently visited the Tim Hortons in burnaby, and it was a great experience! The staff member who helped me, Vishman, was super friendly and made sure my order was perfect. The place was clean and welcoming, and my food and drink were top-notch. Highly recommend this location, especially for the excellent service from Vishman!“

“Great service snd attention yo detail.“

“Always excellent service, especially from Parmisha she is a gem! She is always quick to help even when the doors open at 7am. She is fast and happy, always prepping, training staff and getting the job done in the best possible way. Give that woman a raise!!“

“Had the Yuzu Citron Parfait (with Houjicha) and a friend had the Shiratama Parfait (with Houjicha). Enjoyed the roasted green tea flavour of the soft serve! Nice contrasting textures in the parfait and refreshing on a summer day. With my parfait, it was supposed to include a sakura monaka. However, I just received a regular monaka wafer instead. I'm not sure if the sakura was only seasonal, but it would've been nice if the staff mentioned the substitution given the change to what's in the menu description!

Price point is a tad high at around $11.25, but Tsujiri does use high quality ingredients with their matcha and Japanese green tea. Unfortunately, no seating in the small location, but the wait was short for our order.“

“Il miglior gelato..: torte buonissime… personale molto gentile… consiglio!!!“

“This is a kiosk, located in the food court. Although it's not a very big place, they have quite a few baristas and exceptionally quick. Although there was a long line up, they went through it very quickly. I decided to do a mobile order, when I saw the long line up and it was extremely fast as well. Kudos to them!“

“Not too many people around 1pm on a weekend and has plenty of space to chat. Drinks are decent and good selection of pastries and cakes.

Parking: 2 spots in the parking garage that is not reserved for other commercial tenants in the building“

“While there’s a lot to like about this Starbs, this morning they were pumping Toxic by Britney Spears and while I agree it’s a hot jam, 5am is not the time for Queen B. I used to take my book with me in the morning with the hope that I could do some reading, but sadly who’s ever choosing the music is still in clubbing mode from the night before on most mornings which doesn’t really set the mood. Missing the old jazz and indie playlists in general from Starbs which were incredibly curated and surprisingly erudite.“

“Wholefoods offers a fantastic, wooden-feel, minimalistic and easy going seating area with plenty of options which are mostly sourced from local companies or made in-store. They have a great facilities area with microwave and water refill station as well as compostable water cups.I opted for the Large Soy Cappucino with some whipped in cinammon, great value (20oz) in size compared to other coffee houses and the Allegro coffee is super yummy from local roasters. They also have an awesome range of all dairy free milks and their bakery contains a plethora of delicious tasty goodies to cater for all tastebuds as well as vegan and gluten-free options.I wish they would extend their great offer for for coffee and muffin to other baked goods to offer a bit more variety and the fact these things freshly served bad boys literally sell like hot cakes as their so good, but is one my only gripes. Therefore, if your there late morning it's hard to fight for any of the good muffins left.I always opt for my go-to Banana Bread as it's incredibly scrummy and as most of their stuff is made from wholesome, fresh and locally-sourced ingredients.“

“Very friendly service. Enjoyed my bubble waffle and mango fruit tea which was very refreshing. Bubble waffle was excellent crispy on outside and chewy on inside like delicious baguette as very hard to do. Must come again and try rest of menu like banh mi sandwich and spring rolls. Came again and tried ube latte and bubble waffle again. Sweet drink and brought waffle home to try. Not as crispy as freshly made so must eat at cafe. Came again today and had chicken banh mi and viet coffee. Bun was crunchy and chewy like good baguette. Viet coffee had nice flavour. Came should and had spring rolls. Nice and crispy with sauce not too heavy. Came again and had beef banh mi even better than chicken. Nice crispy roll with tender meat and crunchy veggies“

“Signs inside are always fun and festive. Hard working employees who are very kind and considerate. Secret recipe drinks and lots of free sample days!

Vegetarian options: Roasted red pepper egg bites, spinach and feta egg wrap.

Dietary restrictions: Almond milk, Soy milk, Oat milk, Coconut milk

Kid-friendliness: Stickers for kids“

“This is my everyday spot and I love spending time here for studying, setting my meetings and just being here!
The staff are really nice and friendly and welcoming!
I wanna thank all of them for their hard work and their beautiful attitudes🫶🏽“

“We popped into Brentwood Mall to hunt for Christmas gifts for family and friends and stumbled upon this cozy café. Since it was raining (and coffee is the ultimate rain buddy), we decided to give it a try. Along with our perfectly balanced lattes—not too milky, not too frothy—we grabbed a pack of their mini croissants. It had almond, butter, raisin, and cinnamon sugar flavors, and let me tell you, they were chef's kiss delicious! The café also has a great seating area and a tempting menu with lots of options we’re itching to explore next time. Rain or shine, this place is worth a stop!“

“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.“

“that was honestly one of the tastiest breakfasts I've ever had .. the pulled pork benny was delicious!!“

“My parents by chance stopped by this chocolate shop today and they bought 2 chocolate bags. They tasted it and praised a lot. They said the chocolate taste is just perfect and the service is amazing.“

“I tried to take a picture after taking a sip of coffee, but it was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture, but now I remembered and took a picture. I drank more than half!!!! This is a coffee shop in front of a film studio in Vancouver, Canada. The coffee is really delicious!!!“

“Friendly staff, good drinks, quick service.

Their dragonfruit lemonade was quite enjoyable with the slightly frozen dragonfruit chunks. Although, you can't really sip it in through the tiny opening slot.

The other white chocolate cold brew latte was fantastic. Smooth to drink, sweet but not to a diabetic level.

Overall the environment is nice and there's bathrooms upstairs too.

Parking: Free parking across the street in the lot.“

“Great experience.Staffs are really friendly. My coffee was messed up, upon raising the issue, they replaced it immediately. There is a tall middle aged gentleman, who is always smiling and asking for customers concern if anyone have any issue.Wish every time would have this gesture.Dreawbacks-the place is small, line up looks scary even it is 3 person waiting.“

“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.“
