3. 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 »

Tasty, tasty, tasty, yes.
This is not a coffee shop I go to work in, and it's not a place I go to… Read more »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Burgers,

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 »
5. 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 »
6. 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 »
7. Agro Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 6K3
(604) 605-1292
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
My go-to meeting spot, my first recommendation for a central location when in need of a decent cup of (perfectly-brewed) coffee, one of my favourite personal "offices" downtown - this is Agro.
Free wifi, baristas who live up to their title (read:…More »
8. Revolver
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 558-4444
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Revolver's flirting with me.
They're caressing my coffee-loving tendencies with familiarities like the Chemex and Kone combination I have at home - though their sexy line-up of the handled version positioned 'just so' along the brew bar weakens the…More »
9. Milano Coffee Roasting Company
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1N2
(604) 879-4468
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Sigh. Do you ever have those moments when you're *sure* there are hidden cameras around? At any second, the producers will pop out of a secret space and the people around you will begin to laugh and point in all directions to what presumably are the…More »

10. Kranky Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5T 1G5
(604) 568-4272
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Love.
I love this little place. Mismatched chairs, foggy windows, scrabble boards, book exchange, wine and beer, gluten free menu, Boylen sodas, rhubarb pie, veggie soup, music nights, basil, coffee, best. Best.
If only every shop could be so quaint.…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. Milano Coffee Roasters
It sure is purty in here. Raw concrete, variations on the colour grey dotted throughout, strategically placed backlit photography, suspended glass counters, thick wooden beams, high ceilings -- and yes, those pretty little Thomas Edison lights too.

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 »

Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 879-2326
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
One of the very first coffee shops I frequented when I moved to this fine city, this particular JJ will always hold a special place in my twee 'eart. But, you know, it's a typical JJ -- the coffee is all the same, and the clientele are all pretty…More »
