1. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is what I call food-gasmic. I can still remember the taste, texture, sound, and smell of those waffles like it was yesterday!! Well it WAS 4 days ago. But I miss it so much. The waffles were best when hot and fresh off the waffle iron. So…More »
2. 49th Parallel Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 420-4901
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
The coffee here is really interesting, and definitely complex. It has a personality of its own, waiting for you to get to know it. (Raymond's right about drinking it black).
No really though, it totally reminds of the best coffee I ever had in Naples,…More »
3. Caffè Senso Unico
The last time I was in this area to take a bus from the sketchy Greyhound station down the road, there was nothing in terms of food/beverage outlets except for the Vietnamese place in the station and a Subway. I was there this morning and thought,…More »

Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 697-9050
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
You gotta love a $2 latte with a flavour. The espresso isn't the strongest, but it does the job and they even put a design in it! That's what makes this place as good as it gets. You'd be hard pressed to find a $2 latte with flavour & design…More »
5. Wicked Café - CLOSED
Great vanilla latte and delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Well, the cookie could have used more chocolate chips. I've heard wonders about their sandwiches, as well as their chocolate pistachio cookie so I better come back and try them…More »

I'm glad they opened up a Caffe Artigiano near me. The coffee is roasted to perfection and their vanilla latte's (my usual) are delcious! I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Caffe Artigiano since they were the first to put a night little…More »

I love this cafe! I only had coffee here, a caffe latte. But it was a delicious coffee. And I love that they sell products from France!
Next time I will come with more room in my tummy for the snacks.
8. Artisan Eats Cafe & Fine Foods
This place is a gem on Bowen Island. It was the perfect place for lunch when we went. We were so hungry by the time we got off the ferry but we didn't want pub food. We found out about Artisan Eats in the guidebook and noted that it was located in…More »
9. Salt Spring Coffee Co. - CLOSED
Mmmmmmm fair trade, organic coffee on campus! I like the ambience. Sometimes they have great muffins, foods, desserts. The only qualm is that they are a bit spendy for coffee daily. However, it's the price you pay these days for sustainable, ethical…More »

Dare I say orgasmariffic in the world of sandwiches?
I got the Prosciutto Blue Brie Pear Baguette. Which also had walnuts, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. The baguette itself was perfect (Fresh DOES make a difference!). And all the ingredients…More »
11. Cafe Zucchero
Stopped here for coffee before the Yelp Elite event this evening!
This is one solid coffee shop. Really smooth espresso. Their vanilla in their lattes was nice, vanilla-y, and a little buttery, if might say so myself. The owner is really passionate…More »

Je pense que j'arrive en France parce que le personne que se travaille ici sont francaises! Oh, desole, j'ai besoin d'ecrit en anglais!

They have 49th Parallel coffee!! This has got to be one of the best coffees in Vancouver! The set up is great for a coffee date or meeting. I also loved the triple berry muffin! However, the choice of pastries is slim.

Good coffee, cool atmosphere, bustling, friendly staff, huge muffins, huge muffin selection. Life is good!

What do you consume to nurse an Olympic hangover? A vanilla latte and a gooey cinnamon bun, of course!

-A decent vanilla Latte

18. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I have to deduct a star because the coffee is not so great.. I had a latte this afternoon and the espresso tastes like cigarettes. :-(
However, their cookies and muffins are still great! And the chocolate cupcakes are awesome too.

This is some amazing coffee! And the cafe itself has an interesting set up. I was a bit confused that it was a part of a hotel because the hotel lobby area seemed to double as the coffee shop's sitting area.

Major, major props for the 24 hours. I've only been here past 1 am. The coffee is decent, way better than Starbucks. I once got a blueberry cheesecake though, and it was mediocre. But then again, one shouldn't expect great cheesecake at a coffee…More »

Waves coffee is always good. I love that they're a local company. I had an awesome citrus chamomile tea and she even asked if I wanted honey with that. Just what I needed when sniffling with a cold.
22. Cuppa Joe Coffee
Vancouver, BC V5T 1W2

Perfect Vanilla Latte the other day. It must get frequented often because of the busy location. The entire shop looked very clean and I was impressed.
23. Cuppa Joy Coffee
I haven't been since, so my stars are based on my previous review still.
However, it's not Cuppa Joe anymore... it's "Cuppa Joy" and I removed one star from my review for tackily pasting over the "e" in "joe" with a "y". Why not just rename it…More »

24. Bean Scene North
This place was okay. The vanilla latte was a lot better than Starbucks since you can actually taste the coffee. An extra star for putting a design in my latte foam in my to-go cups, which some place don't or can't do. Otherwise, it'd just be a…More »
25. Trees Organic Coffee
Their cheesecakes were pretty delicious, especially since they make everything in house. I was especially impressed that they puree their own mangoes for the mango cheesecake and don't used canned indian mango pulp as a lot of places do.
I wasn't…More »

You walk into this place and you feel like you just walked into an average joe coffee bar in Italy. But that's the charm of this place. Spend half an afternoon here and you realize that this local business is a community gem. The owners/people who…More »

Seems like this place is quite happenin' for a coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon. I just had a cranberry-chocolate chip cookie here and it was quite tasty. I would come back to try the other delicious things in their case, like a mango bran muffin?…More »

This place does have a decent cup of coffee. My favorite is the house baked treats. The muffins and the croissants are quite delicious. But I wouldn't have them every day, simply because it's really bad for the heart. It's a nice atmosphere to…More »

This is mainly a review for the coffee as i pulled a grab and go. But I like the coziness of the cafe itself. The coffee on the other had was a bit bitter, and my vanilla latte was over-vanilla'd (I think to cover up the bitterness of the coffee).…More »

Excellent Paninis on perfect focaccia bread! And they're pretty big. They're a bit pricier than at La Grotta.... but the quality is there. They have the selection of cheeses as well as other Italian/European goods. It's a small little European…More »
31. Arbutus Coffee
Such a cute, quaint little coffee shop. Not a chain! They put love into their food! If I lived in this neighbourhood, I'd be here more often.
The coffee is okay. I got a maple syrup latte--with real maple syrup! It was a bit too sweet, but I think…More »

Decent cup of hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day in Whistler. I wish they hadn't run out of all or most of their bakery items. Would have loved a chocolate croissant or a brownie. But their cinnamon sticks were pretty good.

This place used to be the best for me, but then I was opened up to a world of small businesses and home made desserts made with care for sale. This place is okay if you just want your basic chocolate desserts. I'm not the biggest fan of the chain…More »

Vancouver, BC V5L 3Y4
(604) 253-8224
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
The name of this place is so misleading....
When I went to Napoli last summer, I fell in love... with the city. It's an amazing place with a unique culture compared to the rest of Italy. We also had espresso every single day probably 3x per day.
So,…More »
35. Blenz Coffee
This location is definitely sub par. It's in such a high traffic area, you would think that it would be more updated. But instead, it's pretty cramped, old and worn looking, and the staff don't seem to know what they're doing. I order a hot…More »

This place is huge as far as coffee shops get these days! I didn't get to try any of the coffee here since I just had 4 cups at brunch earlier. So I decided to go for tea instead. As soon as I saw Vanille bean green tea, i was sold!

Yes, this place has a lot of little children running around and their mothers, but I don't mind. They're kinda cute. And they don't scream, so it's all good. This is a super nice cafe and they have free wifi!!
The bonus? They have maple spice syrup…More »
