50 Best Coffee Shops in Vancouver

“This place is so great. The staff are all super friendly, the coffee and baked goods are tasty (priced on the higher side, but then it's a small shop), and best of all the staff seems to be quite kind to Downtown Eastside folks—which is something that matters a lot to me (especially for businesses that choose to open here.)“

“What an amazing little spot! Highly recommend. Enjoyed the vegan waffles with spinach, avocado, feta, walnuts and sriracha infused maple syrup. The pastries and coffee were immaculate too!!“

“My first visit today following recommendations from 2 friends and it was a great experience. Friendly staff and totally delicious bread for my prosciutto and brie sandwich and truly excellent coffee in my cappuccino. Will certainly be visiting again. when i am in he area and all best wishes to the owners and staff for this gem to thrive.“

“Hark! Upon a fair and temperate eve, I didst happen upon a most wondrous house of victuals, wherein mine heart and belly alike found solace and delight. Verily, the food therein was a banquet fit for kings and courtiers; each dish did sing with flavour most divine, and the meats were tender as a lover’s whisper. The bread, warm and fragrant, didst break with ease, and the sweetmeats did charm the tongue as though kissed by angels.
The air about the place was gentle and pleasing, the lights soft and golden as candle-glow on yonder hearth. Music, neither too loud nor too meek, did float about like a midsummer breeze, setting the soul at ease. The folk that served us were full courteous, with smiles that did not seem feigned, but sprang forth from a place of true kindness and mirth.
Such joy did I find within those walls, that I dare say no better repast hath I taken in many a moon. Shouldst thou find thyself weary and in want of comfort, hie thee hence to this noble spot, and partake of their fare. Forsooth, thou shalt not be disappointed.
In faith,
A most contented guest

“Nice place for brunch with friends!“

“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.“

“I like coming here from time to time for their delicious home made cakes and good quality coffee. My favourite cake is rare sweet potato cake which is very light, not overly sweet or heavy but fluffy and light. Their coffee is also a good quality with nice depth and aroma that I just like. The owner there is a nice humble guy who gives a great service.“

“Some places are just special, and this little hole in the wall certainly is. The food was really good and so was the coffee. It seems like locals eat there, which is always a good sign. The proprietor knew we weren’t local and probably wouldn’t be back. Nevertheless she came by, asked how things were and said she hoped we’d be back. Interesting looking pastries. Wish we could have tried a bunch of them, but our sandwiches were too filling. There is always tomorrow.

In a sea of chains and donier shops, this place really stood out!“

“5 stars! Would recommend to anyone who values high quality coffee, tea and sandwiches. The staff are wonderfully nice and everything is locally sourced.“

“The chocolate cake and glaced doughnuts and apple. Taylors breakfast tea is great.“

“Came here a couple times while I was in town. The coffee is excellent. Also loved the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and green breakfast wrap. The indoor space is pretty small. I think it's fine if you're at one of the tables, but it can feel pretty cramped or like you're always in someone's way when you're in line or waiting for your order. I wish they had a takeout window to resolve this. Thanks for the excellent coffee and food!“

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

“Friendly staff. Lots of food variety. The matcha latte is made from a tea bag not from powder so I felt a bit ripped off that I paid nearly $7 with alternate milk for a teabag. I hope they reconsider the price or switch to proper matcha powder.

Unlike other reviewers, I like that there is no wifi so it's always easy to get a table.“

“I went to this café today on fourth Avenue. The atmosphere was classy, the service was awesome. And I really like the vibe. I was going for a walk with my dog and every coffee shop had a horrendous lineup. I am glad that I stumbled across this café. !“

“Best lemonade in town! The panini were good too. No rush feeling, lots of people coming in for coffee and friendly servers 😀“

“Excellent service. Great food. !! 😁“

“One of the most unique cafes in the city! I had the chicken and prosciutto sandwich with one of their cookies. They were both delicious! The staff were great too! The cafe was busy but the workers still noticed when I needed a refill of my water. I can’t wait to try one of their drinks when I return!“

“Best coffee in Vancouver“

“I visited Coffee Date today with my sister and honestly loved it. The place is super cute and aesthetic, and the vibe is really cozy. The coffee was amazing and the food was really good too. The staff were so friendly and just really sweet, which made the whole experience even better. I’m definitely going back again, such a nice little spot.“

“Awsome 24 hours blenz ....seating inside ....lots of options ? ✨️....they got protin shakes ....vegen options ....sandwiches....its in the granville mall club district / davie street area its ideal having this place open 24 hours“

“I felt welcomed the moment I entered, from the friendliness of the barista, to the warm aura of the cafe. I love the rustic wood decor and vintage vinyls on the wall. I especially love how generous and comfy the seating is (big tables) with huge windows that fill it with light, while the jazz and warm lights keep it cozy. There's even a piano in the back! The crema on my espresso was notably delightful, especially for a decaf, and the matcha was high quality. Perhaps one of the best cafes in Vancouver? Unsurprising considering the other East Cafe location in Hastings Sunrise is truly a gem.

I'd happily while away my entire day here, it's the kind of cafe I wish I lived above.“

“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.“

“Best Daquoise pastry, very light and fluffy， not very sweet but rich flavor. must try.“

“I was honoured to meet Nadia and try her excellent cuisine. I had a soup, beef rolls and Moroccan delicatessen. Originally from Morocco, I felt at home with the decor the warmth of Nadia and the delicious food. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience North African/spanish and international food“

“With impeccable attention to every last detail from the Japandi-inspired zen like interior to each of the carefully curated artisanal offerings, in a world of ubiquitous coffee shops SLO Coffee has created something refreshingly different.“

“Best lemonade in town! The panini were good too. No rush feeling, lots of people coming in for coffee and friendly servers 😀“

“Great cafe with incredible chai lattes and coffee. Very friendly team and a beautiful atmosphere.“

“I went shopping in Gastown today, and I noticed this Paris-based Japanese style café. I had heard from a friend before that it was pretty good, so I decided to go in and check it out. The space is quite narrow but very long, with plenty of seating. The decor is simple, but I really liked the natural wood elements.
Their selection of pastries is limited, but they have a wider variety of coffee options. I ordered a cortado. The staff spoke gently and sweetly, and the coffee they made was beautifully presented. The prices are also very reasonable. After finding a seat, they brought the coffee over to me — the service was excellent.
Enjoying the lively music while sipping delicious coffee made for a really pleasant atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back here often.“

“I adore Aidan's. The coffee is great, the treats are amazing, and there lunch menu is well crafted and goes above your standard coffee shop meals. The staff at the West Hastings tower are always lovely and so cheery. I appreciate all the hard work and effort they put into everyone's experience at Aidan's!“

“Don’t have it in photo but I had their mushroom sandwich, and tomato soup not too long ago and love it a lot. The truffle cheese sandwich was just okay — didn’t really hit it like I forced myself to finish it haha (shown in photo), hot chocolate (also shown in photo) was just okay as well — I expected more tbh. Nothing spectacular but already a good lunch I guess :) I appreciate the effort to create a super unique menu tho!!

Clean place, great and friendly staff :)“

“The Hawaiian latte is the most delicious coffee I've had in a long time. Beautiful store, and fast staff.“

“I’ve been a regular at the Mighty Oak for many years now! The owners and staff are always super warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and calm, and their outside area is always open which is a bonus for dog owners like myself! Their food is simple, homey and tasty. In regard to coffee quality, I’ve noticed some inconsistency with different staff and on busier days, but overall it’s pretty good!“

“Americano was so strong. Normally I am okay with the taste. Also I wasn’t finish the coffee yet and I was buying pastry, staff just got my coffee before I finish. I wanted to finish with my pastry. It wasn't to much so I didn't say but they should ask before take it. Super clean place and good silent patio.“

“With many reasons to show some love I feel most of all is to live good and healthy is with a kind mouth and this one loves the good beans & a good man and old friend Alistair Durie :)“

The coffee and fresh baking is some of the best I have ever tasted and it's always served with a warm smile ✨️☕️ 10 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Enjoyed a quick casual lunch at Caffe Soccavo. The margarita pizza and mashed potatoes pizza was so delicious! Nice and crispy with a thin crust. We also tried the smoked turkey sandwich which was so fresh and filling. 100% recommend! Can’t wait to try more of their pizzas and sandwiches.“

“yes, as seen in High Times and other magazines, it's an amazing place. if you're a local or just a tourist, definitely worth the trip. I met some amazing friends from all over the world there, it's a hub. amazing greens,food and people.“

“Atmosphere and quality product in a Lovely neighborhood <3“

“Fun, comfortable environment lovely food and beverages“

“Loved my visit to &life co. W 7th! They just launched a new lineup of bagels and waffles and everything we tried was amazing. The Dubai Chocolate Waffle came fresh and warm, topped with chocolate, ice cream, and pistachio — such a treat. The Matcha Redbean Cream Cheese Bagel was the highlight for me: super generous with the filling, and the mix of sweet and savory flavors worked perfectly.
Their drinks are also a must — from creamy lattes to refreshing fruit ades, everything looked beautiful and tasted just as good. The café has cozy vibes and friendly staff, definitely a spot I’d come back to for both desserts and drinks.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute café with unique menu items in Vancouver!“

“Good quality; great service !“

“Been going there for a few years and I love it 💜“

“Nice place for a coffee and a cinnamon bun! I went for a large Latte and a huge cinnamon bun(for about 11$) - the bun was not sugary and I loved it actually. Service is nice and friendly, nothing to say here. She told me that muffins and buns are cooked every day which is good.“

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

“We found Aidan’s when we were looking for a nice place for a break.
Lovely atmosphere clean environment and tasty eats just the perfect place for an afternoon break.
We ordered a yogurt parfait scrumptious! A tuna sandwich with capers delicious! And an Americano.
There were two perfect chairs and light music playing overhead.
I would recommend Aidan’s for a break or lunch or a grab and go.“

“Love this place on East Hastings - the girls are so friendly and fun, this will be my favorite coffee/tea place because I work across the street, come visit - we will have coffee“
