(604) 984-9311
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Burgers,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Lynn Valley
A sucker for kind people serving up killer coffee, I say no more 4 stars for you, Lynn Canyon Café. Welcome to the big time.
Siphon coffee FTW!

Lynn Canyon is one of my favourite hiking spots in the greater Vancouver area. Granted, it's… Read more »
2. 49th Parallel Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 420-4901
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
No longer 5-stars, 49th Parallel. Still a pretty good cuppa, but only if it's for a stop-over. In and out is about as much as I can handle. Offensively huge baby buggies maneuvering their way through the narrow space *plus* a possible change in…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Gene, can I come live in you?
With tons of light pouring in from every angle, Gene's exposed beams, white walls, and mountain glimpses make for my kind of inspiration space. So long as I'm not in any serious hurry, Gene is a great space to plug my…More »

I'm amending my previous 4 star rating. The coffee is THAT good. Perfect Americano.

6. Agro Café
Vancouver, BC V6H 4G9
(604) 669-0724
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Don't tempt me with a glass of wine in place of a cup of coffee, because unless we're in some ungodly hour of the morning, the wine will undoubtedly prevail. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when I'm trying to get the kind of work done that…More »
7. The Buzz Café & Espresso Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 2W6
(604) 732-9029
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Why did it take me all this time to come here?? And better yet, why did it take me all this time to write about it??
A perfectly cozy cafè, Buzz hits all the marks I set for a good coffee joint to hang in. Bright, spacious, a variety of seating…More »
8. Innocent Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6H 4A3
(604) 730-1155
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
It's funny how sound can alter the experience of a space. After sitting in Innocent's minimally decorated, mostly white and wood space, I couldn't help but think of this as the whir of 4th Avenue traffic went by.
It's a muffled-quiet here. Peaceful…More »
9. Café Olimpico
An institution in the fine city of Montreal, Olimpico is to coffee as Schwartz is to meat. No frills, no soy milk, no bamboo benches, no yuppie mums -- this is the best of Montreal. The line is long, the hipsters are plentiful, the owners are Italian…More »
10. The Elysian Room
Vancouver, BC V6J 1P2
(604) 734-1778
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Yikes, what did I miss? After hearing / reading such great things about Elysian, I was stoked to finally get the opportunity to check it out. Stepping in was like walking through a time-warp -- baristas that look like they came straight out of…More »
11. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B1
(604) 253-7245
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Raddest JJ in all of Vancouver, period. Minimal in decor, this little guy oozes cool from its every concrete corner.
Sweetest baristas in all of JJ-land, no doubt about it. They may look aloof and slightly apathetic, but are in all actuality the…More »
12. Coffeebar
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4
(604) 566-9693
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
This convenient location makes for a good hideaway when the rains come down, which they inevitably do, but it is not the kind of place I'd necessarily hang out in on a regular basis. They serve a decent enough Americano, but there's something about…More »
13. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V6B 1E4
(604) 408-9663
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
It's a JJ, what do you expect?
I'll tell you what I expect: a decent cup of coffee, relatively nice baristas (just give them a chance -- you'll see), the taunting smell of freshly baked goods (zero gluten free options, which is probably a blessing).…More »
14. Small Ritual Coffee Society
This place kinda weirds me out. What should be -- or at least has the potential to be -- the antithesis to Starbucks (the only other coffee option in White Rock) Small Ritual falls a bit short.
On paper, it all makes sense. It checks all of the right…More »
15. Starbucks
Vancouver, BC V6G 2L6
(604) 684-7225
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: West End
An FTR for a Starbucks? What has the world come to? I'll tell you what: these puppies are everywhere, so it's only natural that every person would get the chance to FTR the shizz outtuvem.
But I digress.
I'm not much of a Starbucks coffee fan - it's…More »
16. The Wired Monk Bistro
This little guy used to have live music, a decent understanding of coffee (though coffee snobs - http://youtu.be/SUpY1B... - needn't apply), and was run by some semi-hippie west coast surfer types. The smoothies were made from scratch (with real…More »
17. Matchstick Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5T 2R6
(604) 558-0639
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'll jump on this train; absolutely, I will. When Matchstick first opened its doors a few months back, I decided to take the wait-and-see approach so that I could check it out *after* the major hype had died down (also known as:…More »
18. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B5
(604) 254-3723
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I don't know man, the baristas here are nice -- like, really nice. They're just a bit burnt out is all. Really, there are a couple of things to realise when it comes to these JJ peeps: (1) baristas are not ever, ever supposed to be chipper. This is…More »
