Wilder Snail Neighborhood Grocery & Coffee

Adorable little cafe/grocer nestled in Strathacona that makes a relaxing spot to have coffee and a snack.

Neighborhood gem in Strathcona! Good coffee and friendly atmosphere.

It's one of my very spots. The staff are super friendly. It's very cute and cozy.

This is my favorite spot in Vancouver. The coffee beans taste amazing, and the sandwiches are absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is so cozy and warm! If you want to experience true Vancouver, I highly recommend this cafe. Thank you for serving such great coffee!

It's a neighbourhood hangout where people get their local news by having a coffee and chatting with one another. I bought some unique greeting cards and postcards from here. When you have time, it's a great place to spend the afternoon. Staff are friendly and the people next to you are even friendlier, as well as their dog. They have these funky greenish yellow flowers grown all over this neighbourhood that I have never seen anywhere else. This photo was taken years ago, this shop has since renovated and has a red awning instead of the black and white piano style awning.

A very cute and wholesome cafe

We love a neighbourhood hot spot. Whenever I need that random ingredient to make a dinner complete, I stop by here and get inspired.

matcha is really good and it’s very nice in there

A great contribution to the neighborhood. Convenient snacks to-go and small grocery items. Always friendly staff, serving good coffee too!! Thank you Wilder Snail :)

Great local low key hang. Delicious coffee and tea drinks:)

Nice corner store in Strathcona, looked like family-run. This particular corner of the neighbourhood is a little more peaceful than a lot of the surrounding area. They have a cafe and convenience area. I've noticed most corner stores in Vancouver focus on stocking high-end local products, but this store has basic groceries and household items like you would find at a normal drugstore, but they did also have nice cards and what looked like locally produced jams. I'm not complaining about this - this is definitely more appropriate for this neighbourhood since there's no big grocery stores nearby.
I stopped here to grab lunch. I had a havarti veggie sandwich, a ginger cookie, and an iced yuja tea (seasonal specialty drink). I thought the sandwich looked kind of plain sitting in the case but I was pleasantly surprised when it came out after hitting the grill and was full of zesty peppers, onions, and artichoke in every bite. Even the bread was pretty good. I really liked the texture of the ginger cookie that was somehow both chewy and light. The iced yuja tea, I learned, is not like a typical "yuzu iced tea" which is iced tea with yuzu/yuja flavour or puree, but a Korean drink made with yuzu/yuja marmalade and no actual tea. It was very sweet, almost like juice, but I liked the intense citrus flavour and big pieces of cured yuja.
The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed, with friendly staff. There's a good amount of seating both inside and outside (comfortably covered, so it's usable even in light rain). There were newspapers and magazines on some of the tables, picture books for kids, and a bucket of dog treats by the door. It's probably not a place you'd go as a special trip, but a wonderful place to grab a bite or coffee and chill out if you're in the neighbourhood.

On the weekend, my wife and me often come Wilder Snail for relax with Cold brew coffee👍👍👍

One of my fav places to visit whenever I'm home. Please let it live forever. I had a chai, and was really happy to see it was loose leaf, super fragrant, and super strong. The staff were super sweet and I was pleasantly surprised at how neighbourhood-y the clientele is. I expected hipster central, but it's really like a community centre of all types. Yay!! Rock on. Can't wait to try one of the GF cookies next time.
