Tea-se Me, Don't Leaves Me Vancouver
See All Lists
1. Yoka's Coffee - CLOSED
Oh - Yoka- I could not start my day without you and your delivery of my first dose of daily caffeine!
What I can't believe I have never tried until yesterday is the chocolate. It sits there - taunting me every time I go in, and yet I've resisted for…More »
2. Silk Road Tea
Who needs meditation when Silk Road exists? The moment I walked in, I knew I was in my retail heaven. And then they offered me tea... [Insert sigh of relaxation, here, here and here!]
Tea and an abundance of tea accessories. I would have never thought…More »
3. Café Vancouver - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 2R7
(604) 568-4446
Categories:
Turkish,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Holy moly tables! Or maybe it's just the space between the tables. Sprawled out I could easily sit here all day pecking away at my keyboard, happy to be surfing the free wifi. (Make sure to ask for the passcode at the bar, or else you'll have to walk…More »
4. Trees Organic Coffee
On my first visit I was thrilled with the free wi-fi.
On my second visit I tried to order an Iced Americano. They looked at me like I was crazy (and perhaps I was, or just really warm!) They did accommodate with ice cubes brought from the back. But I…More »

A bite of pumpkin spiced cheesecake made me swoon.
Free wi-fi and a quiet corner table (free of a… Read more »
5. Petit Ami
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 682-4044
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Fair trade gets me everytime. So much in fact that I risked getting kicked out of a Fringe Festival performance by sneaking in my fair trade americano, in the sleeve of my shirt!
But back to the coffee and the space. It's hustle and bustle at this…More »
6. Smart Mouth Café
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 569-1480
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I'm actually a little disappointed that there was no smart mouthing from the staff. Not even after I made a bad joke about my 12 oz coffee (I thought they were confirming it would cost me $12). *Sigh. But there was the girl who blatantly budged ahead…More »
7. Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries
If I admitted just how many times I have been here, or just how many of their delectable desserts I have drooled over before taking a bite --you may think I'm an addict.
The St. Honore, mango cheesecake and everything chocolate in between - there…More »
8. Tartine Bread & Pies
I love me some tarts, tarts, tarts. I need those tarts, tarts, tarts. Give me those tarts, tarts, tarts.
Tartine bread has become a staple in my kitchen (not sliced, thanks!), and every week or so, I skip out to "grocery shop" and give myself a wee…More »

The apple turnover crumbs I saved on my chin make for the best leftovers. I licked the inside of the… Read more »
9. The Java Hut
Vancouver, BC V5Z
(604) 875-8987
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Cambie
Years and years and years ago, this was literally a stone's throw from where I lived. But back then, I wasn't addicted to caffeine and didn't venture into coffee shops very often! But I finally got my chance to take a load off here the other day,…More »
10. Wired Monk
Right in the moment when day turns to night, Wired Monk serves as a space that lets you gear up or wind down, or lets a work-a-holic catch up online.
Perfect for those times when you want tea, beer, live music and wi-fi all at your fingertips.
PS.…More »

Acoustic sets sound great in this small space. I've never seen it in the light of day, but by night… Read more »
11. Granville Island Tea Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-7491
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
A lesson in ordering tea is much like a lesson in cocktails - let the tea mixologist make a decision for you.
Without an idea of what I was craving, outside of caffeine, the barista/tea sommelier, whipped up a chai tea that was like no other. Black…More »
12. Little Tea House
What do you get when a too-old-to-still-be-working-at -a-theatre-concession dude makes your bubble tea?
Turtle slow service, questionable hygiene (eek, guiding the ice with hands that just touched money and wiped your nose) and finding out that pearls…More »
