Paper Planes Cafe

We went for the Lee’s Donuts and came away glad to have supported a wonderful social enterprise. It says a lot of good things about Vancouver that they encourage local businesses and not just the usual international chains in their airport.

One of my favourite places to go to...the service, atmosphere, and food are always fantastic. It's great to see neurodiverse employees feel empowered and to prove to people that they can have a steady job and deliver exceptional service. I love Paper Planes Cafe so much that I always come by for a visit to say hello and try their delicious deli sandwiches, desserts, and soup of the day too! Keep up the good work, Paper Planes team!

First time in Canada, first time having coffee outside of Australia. This was quite possibly the best introduction to Canada I could have received - delicious, creamy, smooth coffee, calm and polite staff, and a cozy atmosphere.

Walked in at 6:15pm and sat down at an empty bar. The two staff walked by us three times each without saying anything. When they did say something it was to tell us we could not buy a drink at the bar that we have to get up and walk to the cash register. Apparently a wireless POS terminal is too much for this place. Got two drinks for $40 and the only other interaction was to tell us when they are closing (7pm). Got the feeling they wanted to close the place early. Other customers walked in and walked out after being ignored. We at least had a fruit fly to keep us company. They have the location next to baggage check and that's all they have. Don't waste your money.

I just had a very nice espresso here, Wow! I did not expect that to be so good. I asked for it on a ceramic cup and with a glass of water like traditionally served in Europe. Amazing taste, and very friendly service. I highly recommend this place at YVR.

TJ, was amazing. My drink has the right amount of chocolate; it wasn't overly sweat. And it tells you a lot about the skills, because this Cafe uses the same product as other cafes, and other cafes over sweeten their drinks and they're gross, so it's not about the ingredients necessarily it's about the skill and the attention the Baristas brain. The ingredients are good as they are but they have to be known how to be used. And this place knows how to use ingredients. I'm going to be back to this Cafe even if I'm not flying. Just because.

After a long,early morning flight from Toronto, it was an absolute joy to find such a welcoming café right in the Vancouver airport.

The staff was extremely accommodating despite the early hour and my Cortado was excellent. I had no problem at all finding a seat however, through no fault of their own, I can imagine it gets quite busy at different times of day. If you're looking for an alternative to that other coffee shop which Vancouver is so famous for this is definitely one to try at the airport!

What an absolute delight! My coffee was made with extra care and yes it took a little longer but I remarked “a great coffee is worth the wait” no apologies necessary. I believe that!

The girl taking our order was very sweet, I didn’t get her name. She did make a small mistake with the order before us which was easily fixable. I noticed the other girl, Jasleen was a little mean when she realized there was a mistake made. I would encourage her to be nice, everyone makes mistakes! Our drinks were delicious nonetheless.

Extremely weak small decaf and caffeinated Americanos (decaf was from a pre-ground container, not sure about caffeinated one).
