35 Best Cafes in Vancouver

“I had seen a post on a local board game group about this shop opening up soon. Finally something closer to us north county folks! I stopped by mid afternoon and Keith greeted me with a smile. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He showed me around and we talked for close to an hour. The for sale board game selection is thorough and they plan to still add more. They also have a library of games you can play in the cafe. They have about 8-10 play tables and the cafe offers a variety of soups, sandwiches, drinks, and more! I'm really excited to see Contrarian's grow and be a focal board gaming resource for our community.“

“Come and enjoy your favorite dishes. Excellent food and service. Atmosphere is cozy and inviting.“

“The Sriracha melt is so so good!“

“This atmosphere is like being at home. Warm cozy place, friendly staff and great food. If you go home hungry it's your fault. The portions are huge. Customer service goes beyond what you would expect these days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches and the coffee is stellar. Nice people too!“

“First time there today for lunch. … it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had!!! Highly recommend!😊“

“Every meal or dessert that I have gotten here has been amazing! Both in taste and presentation. The owners are so kind and friendly it makes coming back welcoming! From boba, bubble waffle ice cream, to the fried chicken rice bowl, khao soi and their curry is 10/10 recommend.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews but this small business deserves it! The owner and the ladies are absolutely amazing and the coffee is literally to die for!!“

“Such a cute, clean and professional coffee shop! Prices are very very reasonable and they carry organic fuel! They made my 2 year the best smoothie too!“

“Di Tazza bakery, cafe and coffee drive thru is a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee with friends. They have pastries and yummy frittatas, biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches. They have vegetarian choices and some nice gluten free pastries that are all made on the premises. It’s really cute and clean. The staff is friendly and quick to make you feel welcome. I live really close to it and I highly recommend it. It is in the previous chase bank on SE 84th and 137th. Easy access from Padden Parkway. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. 🥰“

“I came into Foode on a whim, the food looked good and I was in a hurry, so I stopped in and was greeted by a beautiful, clean atmosphere along with kind and joyful employees. Specifically Teylor, who I think might’ve been the manager on duty, was prompt in servicing guests and did so with a smile on her face. My food was delicious, and I was even more impressed with the service I received. Will definitely be back here! And Teylor is an incredibly valuable addition to their team! Thank you Foode!“

“I enjoyed my visit and found this coffee shop to be cute and comfortable, and it was a nice place to drop in for an easy breakfast and coffee. I ordered the honey lavender latte and breakfast sandwich, and both were delicious. Friendly service. There's a peekaboo view of the river, and it's a nice launching point for a scenic walk by the water.“

“A wonderful place with delicious, healthy Drinks and Snacks. A great atmosphere with amazing people. I highly recommend AAN.“

“My lady just moved over to Vancouver and we went to get some stuff from Target after Harbor Frieight didn't have it and we wanted some coffee and decided to check out this place. I'd say that if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. My lady does not mind waiting but I am very impatient but she is living here not me so I went along. I just drink regular coffee and she had some fancy drink you can see in the pics. The place has some cool seats with swings plus a couple outdoor seats. The food we had was good, but for the price it didn't have enought meat on it and I did have the cheesecake thing that I took to go with me as I could not eat it all but it tasted even better the next day. Great place if you not in a hurry and it's pretty spendy but so is everyone these days so enjoy the treats.“

“I stop off here at least once a week on my way to work and have for the last few months so this review is more than owed. The girls are friendly and churn out drinks in a timely manner, each of my visits takes about 2-3 minutes tops. Everything from tea to coffee to their weekly specials is delicious and exceptional, and way cheaper than anything you would get at Starbucks. Also absolutely love the little cookies/candied coffee beans that come with the drinks, its such a nice touch. Keep up the amazing work ladies!“

“Always a great cup of coffee. Both the employees and owners take effort and learn the name of the customer beyond just the type of drink they normally buy. I’ve seen when the owner’s find a shot brewed substandard; they’ve dumped it at their own cost in favor of getting it right. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot. They care for their coffee and for their customers. 10/10“

“This coffee shop provides good quality coffee at a very reasonable price. The owners and managers are absolute gems and very friendly members of the campus and community. They have always focused on using high quality ingredients and providing extensive training to their employees. They don't put corn syrup flavorings or burnt roasted coffee beans in their coffee like many chain coffee shops do. Just good quality, traditional Italian roasts, high quality flavorings, and other great non-coffee options like organic tea.“

“BEST coffee in the entire universe and the people at this location are truly awesome.“

“just had the best eggnog latte ive ever had. thank you!“

“I love this location... great baristas. But I am very sad to learn that they won't be bringing back the Holiday Spice Flat White!!!“

“Very friendly and welcoming staff snd they always get my order right!!!😊“

“BEST coffee in the entire universe and the people at this location are truly awesome.“

“The crew was SUPER fast and friendly when I came in to pick up my online order. I haven't visited in a long time (embarrassingly long, sorry) but we're trying to keep our dollars local. (And so long as you treat your people well) We'll be back!“

“My son is a barista at this location. I came in for a coffee and a sandwich and was so proud to watch his interactions with Customers. Big smile and great attitude. I’ve managed Customer Service for a majority of my career, so watching my son provide excellent service was very fulfilling. All of the kids working at The Great North when I have come in have been wonderful. Management shouldn’t take this for granted. The coffee is good, but you can’t beat great customer service👍“

“I love their Esther Short roast, and I’ve done a paint and sip class here one time which was magical. Great place to have in town ❤️“

“First time in. The staff was great and the food was amazing. We will most definitely be back with friends .“

“I always have a fabulous experience at the 192 Café Yumm. They always get my order right the entire staff is incredibly friendly. The establishment is very clean and the food is delicious and nutritious. My Oura ring is always very pleased when I order a meal from Café Yumm. I have become a regular there over the past six years and would recommend Café Yumm and this location especially, to anyone who is looking for a delicious nutritious meal on the go.“

“Best Pollo al Carbon! Delicious!“

“The coffee is the BEST ever! Food is delicious, great service, great place, good prices and big portions! Yum!!!“

“Absolutely love coming here every week and trying all the new specials as well as their pizza that they serve! So good!!“

“The coffee itself is really good, but Black Rock in general could you some work on their mixed drinks. Upcharging me for whole milk when they should just be using it anyways to make lattes is annoying and they use half as much flavor as needed so you need to request extra, which is also an up charge. My drink ends up being almost $7!! The service is great and everyone is nice, but dang, getting a drink made how the rest of the coffee places do it is expensive.“

“Nice looking place. Even nicer on the inside. I love the outside seating near the golf coarse.
Better than average food.
I have had many good times in the lounge with the friendly staff and other costumers.
Good to note that breakfast is served later than other restaurants.
Reasonable prices all around.“

“They have good coffee really good frappe style“

“lots of options for many with dietary restrictions“

“Great food and people! Awesome!“
