36 Best Coffee Shops in North Vancouver

“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!“

“Nice owners and beautiful environment.“

“This coffee shop is one of my favourite place on Lonsdale. They have such a variety of food and everything is fresh and tastes very good. The place is small but very nice and cozy. The staff is kind and friendly.
I like to come here whenever I have chance and I highly recommend this “little gem” as it’s worth visiting.
Today I came for breakfast after my appointment near by and had one of the best homemade breakfast sandwich (fully loaded) in along time. Well done PEGSTERS! Keep the good work! 👏👏🤩“

“GREAT PLACE TO MELLOW OUT AND ENJOY.“

“Honestly the cutest spot! I got the strawberry waffles and they were honestly the best waffles/breakfast I’ve ever had, especially in Vancouver. Two of my group got the soup and loved it! And then the other two got different toast dishes and loved them too! Foot of us got tea and all were so tasty, and the teapots are adorable as well! One of us got a mocha and loved it! Everything was presented beautifully and the space was just amazing to be in! Will 100% come here again!! Highly recommend!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“We love this cozy neighborhood spot - the coffee is always great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect. However, we were surprised to see a $3.75 charge for a soy babyccino, while the regular dairy version is $3. A 25% up-charge for a simple swap feels steep, especially for those with dairy allergies. We’d love to see more reasonable pricing for plant-based options! Thanks for considering!

Dietary restrictions: Very few plant based options and dairy free options come at a cost :/

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly“

“Staff was really welcoming and cooperative,
Manpreet helped me for customizing my wrap

Vegetarian options: They have options for vegan too

Dietary restrictions: Warn for all kinds of food that may be allergic“

“Like Matcha latte!!! Only here

Vegetarian options: Many options

Dietary restrictions: Can choose easily

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Good place

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy easy access“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow! I make my own pizza and I am a foodie, but nothing beats this pizza! Staff are super nice as well!“

“★★★★★
We stopped by Harbourside Café in North Vancouver and loved it! The matcha was excellent, the beef sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the whole place had such a calm, relaxing vibe. The staff were polite and welcoming, and everything was spotless and well-organized. A great spot to unwind — highly recommended!“

“Wicked Thai with chicken is delicious! :p I go back there just for the soup and a chicken caeser wrap! :) Highly recommend you try it!! �����“

“Great little coffee shop. Alot of the food is made up by the owner and you can tell the difference. It's called quality! You pay a little more but well worth it. I love supporting small non franchise shops. Service is always, with a smile!“

“Warm, welcoming space where, when you ask for ‘extra hot’ you get extra hot. It will be my go to place from now on.“

“Best bread in Vancouver. I wrote a letter to the New York Times food section about this bread!!! I know when it’s delivered to Deep Cove and if I don’t get there soon after, it’s gone! I get two baguettes and always have one in my freezer 🥖“

“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!“

“Just like any Tims in the evening, cafe feels homey. Not many people around so there is not much of a lineup.“

“Blenz Cafe makes the best coffee! Blenz has such a warm and friendly atmosphere, and her customer service is always amazing. You can truly see how much Marzieh cares about her customers. Highly recommend.
Thank you Marziyeh for giving me such a good feeling before I go to work!🥰“

“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“

“Over from the UK on a visit. This place is a neighbourhood shop. Clean friendly staff, immaculate inside and out. Plenty of seating outside undercover and heated.“

“This is one of my favorite locations. It’s easy to get to and in a nice location. You can even go visit the gardens just across the drive. The food is always delicious and my drinks are always made perfectly.“

“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 like coming here. I usually grab a cup of coffee and treat my kids to some goodies. The staff members are always friendly and the location is convenient. This particular Starbucks is located inside Safeway and it's a smaller branch with just one staff member working at a time.It's worth noting that due to the limited staff, there might be a short wait time for your order. The lone staff member takes your order and prepares your drink, which can result in a few minutes of waiting. However, if you're looking for a faster service, there are other Starbucks locations you can go to.The staff are friendly and the location is near a highway.“

“Cozy, kind and delicious.“

“It's a lovely shop though it can be hard to find seats at times. Very popular, they have a laptop study room almost near the back. There's also outside seating when its not too cold. I stop here every time I'm in North Van.“

“Just Gerald Magazine rates it 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really glad I finally checked out Vomero. It feels like a little Italian café tucked into a busy corner by Capilano Mall. The coffee is excellent – rich, smooth espresso with that proper Italian flavour, not burnt or bitter. You can tell they take the beans seriously.

The food case is dangerous in the best way: pastries, sandwiches, and light meals that actually look (and taste) fresh, plus gelato for when the sun’s out. It’s an easy spot for everything from a quick latte and croissant to a relaxed light lunch.

The atmosphere is one of the best parts: calm, cozy, and a bit European-feeling, with lots of seating inside and outside. It’s quiet enough to read, work, or have a real conversation. Staff are warm and friendly without being over the top, and there’s plenty of parking since it’s in the plaza.

Overall, Vomero has become one of my favourite coffee stops on the North Shore – proper coffee, good food, and a peaceful vibe.“
