Coffee

How lucky was I to find this fabulous coffee shop about a three-minute walk away from my vacation rental? It has a very relaxed vibe, and the coffee (especially the flat white) is excellent. It’s as good as I’ve found at the best latte bars in Vancouver. Judging by the number of locals that I’ve seen in here over several days, this is a true neighborhood gem!

Lovely and charming environment. People serving are kind and gentle. Food is delicious! One of my favorites in town for sure!

Lovely staff, amazing coffee, and great food. Probably one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had. Simple things done really well.
