Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5
(604) 569-2967
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Kafkas, Main street's java sweetheart, sits conveniently on Main at Broadway. There's *some* free parking nearby which is a bonus if you'd rather spend money on something you can put in your mouth. Um...this is awkward.
The highlight of my visit?…More »

Ok-
So it's more than I'd like to pay for a breakfast meal (I'm ALL about deals tho) but the presentation is beautiful and the lavender mocha ROCKS MY WORLD!!
For breaky, I reccommend the artery-clogging skillet. Smoked applewood cheddar + brisket (i…More »

What a magical, charming, romantic, cozy, whimsical little spot-- like out of a secret antique, plant-filled world! I am in love.
I ordered the house salad (pear, blue cheese, walnuts) and it was so beautiful I had to stare at it for awhile. Like…More »

Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
So I'm sitting at the long bar along the windows at Cedar Cottage and am struck with nostalgia. 60's-esque indie folk is playing and behind the counter is a middle-aged woman speaking French to her cook in the back room. The French has just pushed me…More »

I am loving it here in Rhizome... 2 of my friends and I are working on work/school projects and we were just commenting about how this is the best coffee shop that we have worked in so far. We're on a wifi hop to find the best coffee/work space!…More »

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
This place can make a mean mocha. Very tasty, rich drink-- a coffee that reminds you what coffee should taste like. My large mocha was $5. Not cheap, but I'm used to good coffee costing that (oh, the pain).
For dessert (because a mocha is more like…More »

Coffee & Tea

-Atmosphere is a 9 - cute, cozy, funky.
-Decaf Latte is a 4 - bitter, burnt tasting. Not the richness that I love, no latte art (I've been spoiled by Kafkas). Lacking in taste.
-Tea - 4 - Though Mighty Leaf is a decent tea, nothing says I should have…More »
9. Salt Spring Coffee Company
Hm. Today's latte isn't in top form... it's not as decadent as the last time I was here. The wifi has been iffy too. On the plus side, I'm outside at a sunny table and enjoying the live Jazz music playing across the street. Life is so good...

Before you die you must try this one item: the maple, walnut and brie crepe at Gypsy Rose. Honestly, one of the best things ever created, next to chocolate, Spanx and world peace.

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Tasty coffee from organic beans. Super friendly staff, the owner has a cool story (left corporate, busy job, to run a coffee shop). Not as dark inside as I was expecting, but then again, it was rainy outside so there wasn't much contrast I guess!…More »
12. Ya Ya's Cafe & Bubble Tea
Ok.
So this little hole in the wall cafe rocks my socks. Almost all the food is baked and prepared by the owner, Vicky, a sassy Philippino lady who will steal your heart from day one. I freakin' love this woman!! Many times she'll spoil regulars…More »

Ok-- the Salted Caramel chocolate was AMZG, but the Sandwich? Took forever to come out (even though the cafe was empty of guests and FULL of staff) and tasted below average. For the size and taste, it wasn't worth the $8 -- Social Deli would have…More »

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
What a long place! The narrowness of the layout is helped by unusually high ceilings and clean minimalist decor. The coffee is great. Small, expensive, but great.
This joint is far too modern looking to be cozy, but it's a nice lil' escape should you…More »

Beautiful sunlit spot with wooden floors, tall ceilings and home made baked goods. A new favourite. It smelled like freshly baked cheese bread. What's not to love?
Oh and let's not forget the oatmeal... is there anything more crunchy, tasty (dare I…More »

Please, for the love of everything good in this world, try their macarons. Almond-flavoured mini sandwiches of delicate sweetness. One bite and I was catapulted to euphoria. Oh please, can I just have one (make that ten) more..?

I've been here a few times. The looseleaf tea is nice, the coffee tasty (one of the first businesses in Van to use a Clover) and the location is a handy. In fact, for Yaletown java it's nice to have a 'non-big-chain' option.
The coolest thing though?…More »

Dude. Could this place be any cuter? A charming character home-turned coffee shop. The coffee is beautiful: 49th Parallel beans and latte art. The space just oozes 'we know coffee'. Big fan of that.
Upstairs (yes, two levels) is a lovely hidden floor.…More »
