34 Best Cafes in North Vancouver

“Every food is so delicious ~~“

“Loveliest little shop that serves delicious pastries, sandwiches, soups, specialty beverages, etc. There are also Italian groceries and tons of beautiful treats. It's so cozy and warm, and currently beautifully decorated for Christmas; a highlight this time of year is the eggnog latte, perfectly foamed and spiced. Every team member I've dealt with over the past few days during my visit here from Ontario has been lovely, kind, and accommodating, and if I lived here, you can be sure I'd be a regular at this warm and inviting neighbourhood spot. Thanks to all for a wonderful experience.“

“Lively music, warm atmosphere, unforgettable moments🌟🫶🥰“

“Such a lovely café with amazing service and great drinks! The staff made us feel very welcome, and the quality of the coffee and food was outstanding. You can really tell they care about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back again! 😊“

“I come here to my friends, and finally, I decided to come to this coffee shop/restaurant seems like it’s Korean managed and I love Korean Resturant they have their own special taste in each item. I order just a coffee but I took pictures after cakes and snacks. The service was fast and they are nice. I think I’ll come back again one day.“

“Good coffee and a selection of vegan baked goods, including a few different flavored muffins, cookies, and a scone. Also offer a vegan wrap. I enjoyed a pumpkin apple muffin with my soy latte to go. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-24“

“Have just left the cafe to go to Grouse Grind and may have left my walking pole there. If it’s there I’ll come back later to pick it up 😁❤ great coffee and food and warm service! Addendum - I did go back and “Yes! They had my walking pole” thanks West of Java - you are wonderful“

“Such a lovely cozy place with warm and friendly staff. Location was very convenient in the Park and Telford shopping square with plenty free parking. Inside, decorated warm and natural with chairs, high chairs, sofa chairs. There was a semi-private room and an outside patio face to Park and Telford garden. Our latte was served in a nicely art and in a mug. Matcha cookie was well balanced in suger and nuts. There was some cold sandwiches, juices and water as well as donuts as well.“

“Just the sweetest coffee shop… I love coming here with my parents when I’m visiting Vancouver. The smiles are abundant and the kindness radiates through the cafe. Not to mention, the lattes are beautiful and delicious.♥ Thank you for being so nice to my dad. I’ll be back soon.“

“Cozy, kind and delicious.“

“First time here this weekend as we are from across the water and we will be back every time we visit the big city now. From the amazing customer service including how sweet and genuine they were to a regular in front us helping him locate his umbrella to the exceptional warm and friendly service we received as well. Also amazing coffee and treats!“

“The vibe here is really nice. It's located in a small cozy place, and the store has a raw wood feel to it.

I've never had JJ Bean before, and I came in looking for a quick snack to enjoy by the beach.

The maple pecan cookie was scrumptious.

Soft cookie with hints of smoky maple and the crunch from the pecan in every bite are stunning. I would come here for the cookie alone.

Service was quick and friendly.

Again, I liked the atmosphere because of its natural feeling.

Overall, this location is a really neat coffee place that has potential.“

“The staff is so disrespectful! We arrived at this place around 12:35pm and the hostess said they would have a 35 min wait list. We said ok, got our names in the wait list and left. After 35 min I came back for a time check and the hostess said more 30 min wait. We have a toddler and 1 hour wait would be too much for the toddler. I asked to talk to the manager but the hostess said there was no manager on duty that day. I insisted since that wouldn't make any sense. After begging to talk to the person in charge, finally someone showed up. The manager was even more disrespectful than the hostess - she kept this ironic smile all the time and said that the hostess removed our names from the list by mistake but nothing could be done, not even offer us the top of the wait list and we had to go to the bottom of the list again. She also said they were doing the best they could - I left without saying a word since keep discussing was just pointless - when I walk out the door I just heard "and please don't come back". Just don't come here.“

“Best coffee. For years we brought it back to Winnipeg and now we are back in bc. The decaf espresso is unbelievable and Swiss Water process.“

“Everything is great no complaints….. but please get free wifi for your customers in the 555 location. We pay a premium to drink and eat here the least that could be done is free wifi. Thank you for your consideration thank you 🙏“

“Honestly, the BEST vegan ice cream I've had on the north shore!!! Five stars!

This wonderful ice cream parlor and coffee shop is under new ownership.
What a surprisingly wonderful selection of all home made goodies and treats!
The ice cream is made in house, and the owner tells me that over two pounds of fruit goes into each batch! The ice cream comes in every possible flavour you could ask for, including gelato's, and vegan and dairy or sugar free to accommodate the widest variety of needs.“

“o.m.g. their butter chicken dinner was to die for soo melt in your mouth with every bite super delicious <3 im definitely coming back“

“best place to get a fresh smoothie after a great work out or a long day at the office.“

“I loved the live music on the patio! It reminds of some live music events at Lonsdale Quay and was so nice to have close to where I live. Local music is rarely so accessible between cost and location. ❤️“

“The lentil soup was delicious! There aren’t many places that make comforting homemade soups, especially ones that are dairy-free, so I’m glad I found this place for a rainy day. It has a quiet cafe vibe, so it’s good for a quick lunch or snack“

“I love this place, they have everything and it's delicious and made well. My sons loves the food. The appearance of the store is always very inviting as well as the staff is considerate and kind to customers. I wish thier were more stores that provide quality products such as Stongs.“

“First time being there this morning Excellent service I like the idea of bringing my own cup The strawberry matcha was Yummie I had it made with almond milk My Beef Bulgogi Brioche sandwich was tasty The egg was cooked perfectly for the sandwich. Yes I would buy it again The bakery section had a variety of baked items - which I will try on next visit .“

“Simple, healthy and delicious meals prepared from fresh vegan ingredients! It’s filling, super satisfying and guilt free eat all the time.“

“I loved this place. The person who serves you is so friendly! I accidentally put salt in my coffee instead of sugar, and they gave me another coffee for free. They didn't charge me. Besides, the place is very nice and comfortable, and everything is very clean! Great atmosphere and good prices.“

“We often come here for breakfast on the weekend. There is usually a line up but take a deep breath and admire the view while you wait. Quality takes time, and if you order food you should expect to wait a few minutes if it needs cooking/heating. This is definitely worth the visit and is in the middle of a happening community hub.“

“Nastaran helped me today. She did her best. I will appreciate the manager who hire these kind of talented teenagers who are really good with their customers service.10/10 for everything.all the best for you girl in all part of your life, you made my day with your nice behaviour and beautiful smile.🌸“

“I’ve been a fan of 49th Parallel Coffee for a while, but I had no idea they had such a fantastic location here in Vancouver! I decided to stop by during my break, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. I ordered a hot cup of tea paired with a Boston cream donut, and honestly, both were delicious—the donut was incredibly fresh and flavorful.
​What truly made my experience stand out, though, was the exceptional service. I was served by Sam, a very polite and professional Persian gentleman. He was so helpful in recommending the best options and made me feel genuinely welcomed with his magnificent attitude. The atmosphere of the cafe is lovely, with such a relaxing and positive vibe that makes it a great spot to unwind. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great coffee, tasty treats, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!
Finally, I would like to mention that my apparel fits the aesthetic of the store beautifully.“

“Barrio is one of the better places to get your coffee in Vancouver and if you live or are anywhere in North Van, this is a place you definitely want to go. Coffee is reasonably priced and there is seating inside to enjoy your coffee (appropriately safe during Covid restrictions). The cafe also sells beans if you need beans for home. P.s if you’re an Aussie or a Kiwi you’ll love it as Barrio is run by an Aussie, so you can expect good standards.“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“

“This was my first time coming to this trail with my partner and we found this cafe, and I’m happy to say that it was a great experience!

The beef burger was AMAZING, as well as the service was great. The lady at the cash was super sweet and the cafe itself is beautiful.

Definitely recommend, especially after walking a very beautiful trail.“

“After an absolutely gruelling hike, this was literally the best coffee I have ever had in my life! The staff were so friendly, service was the quickest I’ve ever experienced, and the views were INCREDIBLE!
The cups are also so cute, I’m keeping it as a souvenir.“

“Great coffee And friendly staff for bring me water for my dogs . Nice cafe for relaxing and a quick bite ! 👍🐶“

“A beautiful fresh-food bakery and bar with a spotless, top-notch atmosphere and a classy experience. Everything is well presented, the pastries and food are always fresh, and the service is fantastic.

Easily my favourite spot and the best on the North Shore.“

“We had our wedding here and they were absolutely amazing. We had a medical emergency during the wedding and the staff were attentive, and handled everything with sensitivity. They helped make a hard time a little easier. It was also the best wedding food I’ve ever had and several other guests came and told me the same thing. The bartender, Logan, was absolutely phenomenal and our guests absolutely loved him. Overall, a really great and positive experience!“
