No Starbucks here: Cafés and Coffees
See All Lists
1. 888 Caffe Express
You'd be hard-pressed to find any regulars who know this place by anything other than "Joe's" thanks to a very friendly proprietor.
The staff here are top-notch, consistent, friendly, and do an all-around fantastic job of serving great breakfast and…More »
2. Mario's Coffee Express
This spot is a true business-district classic. On weekdays, Mario himself serves up fresh brews and steaming americanos. Expect soccer to be on the tv during game season and lively Latin music during the rest of the year.
The taste of the coffee is…More »
3. Gallery Café & Catering

Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The Gallery Café is a sweet spot that most of the downtown lunch-ers know about -- therefore making it a bit of a zoo come corporate lunch hour. But if you're flexible and can stop by for a late lunch, that lunch can easily extend to an early…More »
4. Kokopelli Café
Vancouver, BC V6S 2G7

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
When I was fundraising across the street at Stong's grocery store one weekend last year, my friend and I were slowly overcome with a hunger that can come only from selling raffle tickets all day.
She spotted this little gem of a café across the road…More »
5. The Glass City Café
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S2

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Take the next-door Café Artigiano, subtract the intimidating line-up and ugly tile-topped tables, then add in some clean decor and you get this sparkling little gem.
We walked into Artigiano last weekend and pull a quick U-ie when we saw the line. All…More »
6. Yoka's Coffee - CLOSED
Walking into Yoka's and you get the feel that not much has changed in the past 15 years here. The inside of the store is quite sparse, but head straight back to the counter.
I usually just pop in for a coffee, which is always strongly brewed. The…More »
7. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Bon bons. I feel so fancy just saying the term, let alone eating the little squares of delicately flavored ganache enveloped with smooth chocolate.
It's tough to pick my favorite bon bons due to two reasons: the first is that the colorful pictures…More »
8. Abruzzo Cappuccino Bar
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X5

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Gelato, soccer, pizza, coffee--all very Italian. As is this spot.
This popular little Italian café was rather packed on my Saturday afternoon visit. Most of the customers were chatting in Italian and a huge flatscreen sat against the rear wall.…More »
9. Wired Monk
It's nice to see a unique coffee shop with sticking power--it must be in the Wired Monk's holy formula. Although I was surprised to uncover this coffee shop is actually part a franchise.
The evening open mics create a great community feel. On my last…More »
