34 Best Cafes in North Vancouver

“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! 😊“

“Cozy, kind and delicious.“

“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“

“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.“

“I usually come here for a latte and the Roasted Veggies sandwich. I visited again after a long time, and it seems like the bread has changed. Personally, preferred the previous baguette-style bread--it was crispier and tastier. That said, the sandwich is still delicious as always. :D
One small downside has always been the ventilation inside. as it can feel a bit stuffy at times“

“This cafe is the earliest opening cafe in lower lonsdale (and thank goodness, as I work earlyy)! The lovely people who run it are so kind and from only my first two visits I could tell almost everyone who came in was a regular — very good sign. The club sandwich on multi grain was delicious and a hearty serving and the seating inside was perfect for a quick lunch with my book.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🙏“

“A pleasant spot for coffee with good espresso and homemade pastries.
The atmosphere has a simple, slightly nostalgic charm that makes it feel relaxed and unpretentious.
A nice place to stop for a coffee break in North Vancouver.“

“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“

“Today I was so happy to discover this little Korean-style café inNorth Vancouver . The food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was even organic! Usually when I come to the NV area, I only visit a few of the well-known cafés, but this time I searched on Google and found this five-star hidden gem — and it truly lived up to the rating.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always with a smile. The breakfast and brunch menu was really interesting — even the avocado toast came in several creative variations, and the prices were very reasonable. We ordered the Avocado Egg Sourdough Toast and the Bibimbap Bowl for 10.99, with extra mushrooms. Everything was freshly prepared by the chef, so it arrived warm.
Their special sauce was unique — a little spicy, a little tangy — drizzled over the avocado toast, paired with fresh salad greens that really boosted the appetite. The beef was also seasoned perfectly, very flavorful, and the coffee was rich and aromatic.
Definitely a place I highly recommend!“

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

“There are so many mindful and organic options here - it's their primary purpose. They make excellent cafe au laits (my favourite drink that isn't super common). There is a bring-your-own-mug discount, which even works in the app, which you can use to order ahead or use to pay in person using your stored payment method. Points accumulate quickly!

Communication was excellent. I had a minor issue that was resolved promptly, generously, and with understanding.

Thank you!“

“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.“

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

“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 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. ❤️“

“I’d like to thank 49th Parallel Roasters for the excellent quality of their coffee beans. I purchased a Medium Roast, and it was fresh, well-roasted, and very well balanced.
Special thanks to Sam for being knowledgeable, friendly, and for providing helpful guidance. A great overall experience“

“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.“

“You are with your toddler and have just finished a refreshing walk down to the river and back. Both of you feel you deserve a poutine by the fire, good news! Lynn Canyon Cafe exists!
This place has hike snacks, baked goods, and full meals! The cheeseburger, for its price was UNREAL. And the poutine? A crisper fry than a Belle Province, think a bit closer to Schwartz Deli, but I say it deserves the Montreal stamp of approval!

The folks that run and work the Cafe are the cherry on top of a perfect BC experience.“

“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“

“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 .“

“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.“

“This is definitely one of my favorite café discoveries in Vancouver. I had a matcha latte with strawberry syrup, and it was absolutely extraordinary. The ambiance is calm, charming, and filled with natural light—perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by.“

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

“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.“

“What a cool little gem. Stopped by to grab some sandwiches for the family and was so pleasantly surprised by the quality. Absolutely will be coming back!“

“A cozy bakery with a large variety of freshly baked pastries made right in the café. The selection is impressive, and everything feels fresh and well crafted. The space is warm and inviting, and the terrace is a perfect spot to enjoy a coffee while looking out over Edgemont Village.
A lovely place to relax and treat yourself.“

“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!“
