50 Best Cafes in Vancouver

“If you are like me and growing up in a household with “traditional, slow cooked, 12 hours on the stove” kinda’ dishes were just another regular Tuesday night dinner, you know those flavours and dishes are almost impossible to find elsewhere. La Tana has managed to create the same flavours, dishes and love that I remember so dearly sharing with my family around the table. Thank you La Tana“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“We went to Their There for brunch on a weekday, so the place was calm and not too crowded. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which created a comfortable start to the meal. The food itself was tasty and well prepared, although the prices were a little on the higher side for what we ordered. The only part that disappointed me was the coffee. It did not taste fresh and it had a slightly burnt flavor. Overall the experience was nice and the food was enjoyable.“

“Maxine’s is the best! Best brunch, best dinner 💯“

“Great cocktails and excellent service“

“I highly recommend Hunnybee! Wonderful breakfast and brunch options served in a cozy space with an informal and hip vibe. Vancouver’s best breakfast sandwiches and possibly the world’s best ricotta pancakes - they’re to die for. And in the evenings Hunnybee puts on taco and wood fired-pizza nights with a lively atmosphere. Small wonder that the place has a dedicated customer base.“

“We met Behiste and Ali there, who are the owners of the coffee shop, and they were amazing people! The black tea served in slim-waisted glasses, their baklava, and pistachio cookies were delicious! Next time, definitely try another one of their pastries!“

“Friendly & Cozy atmosphere, great comfort food!“

“I come here most morning for coffee and I feel like I’ve entered into my own home❤️ A friendly place with community vibes!“

“unbelievable amount of hot sauce options, plus a huge selection of non-alcoholic beverages. wee super clean kitchen and cute patio. just upped our hot sauce game ...can't believe I am putting pineapple habanero sauce on peanut butter on toast but there we are!“

“I was here before the renovation, it was really good then, now that they are 100% plant based i thought it would different, nope! Its still amazing!! I highly recommend the fully loaded sammy!
The new side they opened is absolutely beautiful! My friend i come with is celiac, she approves ! They really care about the difference between celiac and gluten free diets.“

“I had the most delightful experience at Flamingo for Turkish breakfast with my friend. The ambiance was charming, and the Turkish breakfast spread was simply incredible. Each dish was a burst of authentic flavors, and the presentation was impeccable. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service – the staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. I highly recommend Flamingo for anyone craving a delicious Turkish breakfast with top-notch service. A truly remarkable dining experience!“

“We stopped in to try the Everything Bowl. It did NOT disappoint. The flavors were amazing with beef, bok chop, wontons, and the most perfect noodles! We sat outside in the sun. Devin, the owner, was so nice and even told us some other favorite food places of his to try later in the day.“

“Amazing creme brûlée ❤️ Cute little shop, with a lovely atmosphere“

“Even the cold weather couldn’t stop us from getting some bingsu! The bingsu here is amazing, every flavor looks so good that it’s hard to choose just one. This was actually from last year, but I just thought of leaving a review now because it definitely deserves it.“

“Thank you Ruka Coffee for welcoming our big American family before we headed to the cruise port! We were so thankful that you dealt with all of our questions with kindness. And thank you for the Nanaimo bar experience! Food was great, service was exceptional, and we loved the vibe.“

“Pictured: Sesame Chili Tan Tan Noodles (vegan) Ramen Egg Sandwich, Matcha Soy Latte and Ginger Yuzu juice.

Food is absolutely delightful, reminiscent of Japanese craft and quality, the matcha is from Uji, and the Tan Tan broth is from the mind of some genius chef. Support these folks, they care about what they feed you and you can tell.“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the hood! Baked goods and coffee all fresh and hot and delish!“

“Nice pastry shop“

“👍🏼good food and nice size meals“

“It's delicious.“

“Great pastry and nice service! Hidden gem in the area.“

“Best crepes Organic stuff Handmade stuff Nice coffee Very French place“

“I came in for a quiet place to do some work, it wasn’t too busy and I got my food and drink very fast. The food was great and the service was too. I haven’t tried this type of food before so the server helped me out and I ended up getting the Chicken Tikka Wrap and it was absolutely delicious. I also got an Iced Dirty Chai, it seemed far more authentic than other chai drinks I’ve had in Vancouver.“

“Thank you for all the great food over the last 3 years! I worked nearby for a while and swear by this place. Great quality food that feels homemade with love. 10/10 recommend. Will be sure to revisit any time I'm in the area again in the future. 🙏“

“The “Father of Buns” did NOT disappoint. We have eaten here three mornings in a row and every morning has been FABULOUS!
The raspberry croissant … please!
However the blow my mind treat - Berry Mascarpone Dream. So good. Maybe the best dessert I’ve ever eaten. Everything worth the trip!“

“Very quiet cafe, price is fair, service is good.

The London fog has a balanced tea and milk taste, a little sweet since they add sweetener by default. They also leave the tea bag in my cup.

Chocolate banana Croffle is pretty good, it’s a croissant pressed into waffle shape. A little hard to cut the croissant, but the flavor is good.“

“this place is awesome. we had a great time there. Great welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. definitely worth checking out“

“Today I have an Americano（12 oz）with an extra shot of espresso（total 3）👍👍👍“

“Beth is one of the kindest people I know, and has created a great community hub. She initiated setting up Leg-In-Boot Square live music, with picnic tables and patio umbrellas. She does many good works, and helps many people. AND her baking & cooking are fabulous. The view is great, too.“

“Great dessert and coffee spot in Vancouver, BC!“

“my fav it's always smoked salmon avocado on rye toast“

“Cool space, super friendly and helpful staff, great coffee, more unique pour over options than anywhere else I’ve ever been.“

“Danil and Risa were fantastic!! They made us feel welcome and the beverages were on point. It’s impressive that people take the time to draw and write notes about how awesome their experience has been. Have not seen this at other cafes. Testament to the great, friendly and bespoke service of this Cafe. They must really “Love” this place. :-)“

“Great little hidden cafe. Very cozy and nice! The owner is very friendly and clearly values all customers who visit. The pastries and goodies are EXCELLENT and the Tomato soup is delicious! However I do wish he had a few more offerings for food. The sandwiches are fine, but are a bit generic and could be a bit more interesting... especially considering everything else is very unique and high quality! All and all a nice spot though. It's kind of easy to miss the spot when walking by, but you will enjoy your experience if you take the time to go in!“

“very stylish cafe in a not so stylish neighborhood...great eating environment and very tasty healthy veggies bowl..u can add protein.great place“

“咖啡非常好喝，完美的口感“

“Renee is always so supportive and generous. She's always up for working together and she goes out of her way to make sure we have a great time, love hosting events at her cozy studio! and looking forward to many more in the future ♥️“

“A wonderful neighborhood cafe and bakery! Everything we had was delicious and the community vibe was strong. Lots of happy people and dogs outside!“

“We were very happy and impressed with the hospitality, service, and quality of food. The taste and presentation were superb for both dishes we ordered (beef and duck). The portions may be on the smaller size for some, but perfect for us; in fact, we didn't have room for most of the delicious breads offered, or desert. The dishes were rich and packed with flavour. We came for a weekday casual lunch, but this gem of a place would be highly suitable for special occasions. Kudos to VCC instructors and students in the program! Highly recommended!“

“Great local shop. My staff and I come here almost daily.

Great coffee, and great staff. Very cozy, and locally operated and owned.

They have sandwiches, soups, salads, and lots of fresh baked on site goods daily.“

“Excellent cappuccino. A coffee shop, recommended by our hotel staff, that only serves coffee (espresso, cappuccino, latte, drip).“

“Went to Koffie today and had an Americano with avocado toast. The café is a bit hidden, but it really surprised me in a good way. Excellent service, calm atmosphere, and good music. It’s also well located, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Definitely a place I’ll come back to.“

“I tried this place for the first time. Plenty of seating for 2 but not for larger groups. Nice atmosphere. The pumpkin cinnamon bun I had was great! The other sweet and savory pastries looked good. Flat white coffee was weak. Need work on the coffee.“

“A Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood
This cozy grocery shop and café is the perfect spot to unwind after a hectic day. They offer refreshing drinks and just what you need in a pinch — all without the hustle and bustle of a typical coffee shop. A great little escape right in the neighborhood!“

“Love Deja Brew! I eat here at least once a week and we often place large orders for the office. My favourite is the Buddha Bowl, Power cookie and Oatmeal cookie. Mia, Sue and the rest of the Deja Brew team are super friendly and outgoing. I would highly recommend this place to others.“

“I was there today for the first time and EVERYTHING was amazing. So happy to have this little gem in the neighbourhood. I have been singing their praises to everyone I have met today. I will be back and often!!“

“93 Coffee is welcoming, great food and drinks and a lovely bright location in the Denman Mall.. Highly reccomended“

“Omg the food is amazing!!!! Today I tried the veggie chili and it was really the best in Vancouver. I also tried the special of the day and it was really tasty. I looked at the salad bar and I didn’t have the chance to try but certainly I’ll do it next time. Also the personal was great and super friendly and I received a really good service.“
