Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in British Columbia

"Bistro Wagon Rouge is the sister restaurant to Red Wagon, a popular brunch spot in Vancouver, but the only things they have in common are great food and reasonable prices. Bistro Wagon Rouge is a blue collar French restaurant in East Vancouver. It's the epitome of a neighborhood restaurant-its cozy atmosphere, daily specials, and great service have attracted a following of regulars."

Sink your teeth into their classic pulled pork pancakes $15, where you get three buttermilk pancakes layered with pulled pork and topped off with syrup."

"Brunch at The Red Wagon was made famous by their pulled pork pancakes with Jack Daniels maple syrup. With this, they combined two comfort foods into a savory and sweet brunch option with just a bite of whiskey. Situated in an unassuming, casual diner setting, The Red Wagon is a fantastic option for a laid-back brunch experience."

"A post shared by The NAAM Restaurant (@naamrestaurant) on Mar 13, 2017 at 10:53am PDT. Considered a staple for vegetarian and vegan eats in Vancouver for, well, what seems like forever, eating at Kitsilano’s The Naam is pretty much a rite of passage. Their calling card dish is their Sesame Fries with an add-on of Miso Gravy, but you’ll also find an array of noodles, bowls, veggie burgers, Mexican-inspired fare, salads, appies, and much more here."

"Vancouver's oldest natural foods restaurant with a lengthy menu and generous portions. Go for a bowl and a cashew bliss ball for dessert. Expect a line-up at this 24-hour restaurant."

"Possibly one of the busiest brunch places I’ve ever visited, Jam Cafe has become increasingly popular in recent months so it’s fair to say that you should expect to queue if you arrive later than 9 am. Even though the queuing might be frustrating, the food is so delicious!. Make sure to try their Chicken N’ Waffles and chocolate shakes; you won’t be disappointed."

"Jam Cafe is a delightful family-run eatery, with lots of energy and mouth-watering food that makes it a favorite brunch spot for many Vancouverites. If you’re looking to really dig into a generous portion of delicious fare on an easy Sunday morning, don’t think twice. Head down to Chinatown for Jam."

"It's like a mixture of Thanksgiving dinner and brunch that's going to leave you with an extremely satisfied tummy for the rest of the day."

"If you want to feel like you’ve been transported to another continent and into an authentic European Bakery, then step through the doors of Thierry. This beautiful establishment is pure class and a haven for anyone with a sweet-tooth, and a pleasure for those with an eye for detail. Renowned maitre artisan Chocolatier and Patissier offers a wide selection of breads and baked goods that will leave you with a lasting impression, so take the plunge and treat yourself to a super-sweet experience."

"For the lover of traditional black forest, treat them to the Foret Noir (Romeo) and for that special someone who adores white chocolate and vanilla bean, the Foret Blanc (Juliet) is a perfect pairing. Romeo and Juliet cakes will be available only on February 14th, starting at 9 am, and are not available for pre-order. #VeryThierry 📷: @leilalikes"

"Born in Auvergne, Thierry Busset trained with European masters before taking his pastry prowess to London’s Le Gavroche and Marco Pierre White (both of which peaked at three Michelin stars). His talent even tamed the famously mercurial Gordon..."

"A true hidden gem in the sense that you’ve got to be looking for Coho Coffee in order to find it. This cafe lives in the front space of Coho Collective’s newest commissary location, and it offers unreal lattes and often has drool-worthy experimental baked goods up for order. Address: 1370 East Georgia Street, Vancouver"

"Coho has been lurking around the coffee scene for a few years now, as the creators of A Brunch Affair. So I was particularly excited when they said they were opening a coffee shop. But this one has a major difference to it: All the food here is cooked in the enormous commissary kitchen in the back."

"Our little bakeshop started 10 years ago in our tiny one bedroom apartment in Burnaby, BC. There, we would brew coffee in the wee hours of the morning and bake to order till the crack of dawn. My husband and I decided to make this big leap after"

"Once open, the new Nemesis coffee might take the cake for the coolest location in Vancouver. Not because it’s on Great Northern Way, but because it’s inside that stunning red flower-looking building that was designed by Perkins + Will. Plus, they’re going to start roasting their own beans in there."

"Canadians have been ordering Tim Hortons iconic Original Blend coffee, Double-Double ™ coffees, Donuts and Timbits® since 1964. Over the years, Tim Hortons has captured the hearts and taste buds of Canadians. Tim Hortons serves fresh"

"When on a vacation, you don’t need to think about your diet. All you need to do is eat well and have fun. Stop by Tim Hortons if you are craving for burgers, sandwiches and wraps, salads and sides or soups and hot bowls."

"If you like cozy coffee bars with exceptional service, then Turk’s Coffee Bar, a small, funky coffee shop on the Drive, is the place for you. The interior is decorated with cool cartoon images blown up on the walls and the dishes. However, seating is limited inside and there is more of chance of grabbing a spot outside on the patio."

"Everyone talks about the double bake from Thomas Haas, but what if I told you there was a cheaper double bake option, and at least in a case-by-case comparison in my analysis, that came from a newer entrant in the Vancouver almond croissant scene?. While the almond paste was a little on the short side, it feels like the intention here was to showcase the mastery in flakiness and overall croissant mastery. The folds here were immaculate to say the least and the rise was off the charts relative to everything else on this list."

"We are an independent bakery specializing in naturally leavened sourdough bread and French inspired pastries. We believe in making everything from scratch, with fresh, high quality ingredients. All of our breads are made with whole grains and baked"

"At Romer’s we’re all about keeping it fresh, local, and fun. Our restaurants are focused on casual dining inspired by the West Coast lifestyle around us. We’re passionate about delivering you a quality experience with great service"

"Cabana is a truly unique lounge redefining Vancouver's nightlife scene in the heart of the entertainment district. Inspired by the vibrant style of South Beach, the Lounge boasts rich colors, chic cabana draped VIP booths, combined with stunning design elements. RSVP at Cabana Lounge"

"Meticulously designed and built from the ground up, M.I.A. was designed to encourage club-goers to spend less time on their phones and more time in the moment. Fitted with a Funktion-One sound system, M.I.A. decidedly goes a little deeper to focus on the alternative sides of contemporary house, techno, hip hop, and r&b. Where: MIA Nightclub – 350 Water Street, Vancouver"

"The large patio at Bridges has the perfect view of False Creek. You can't get any closer to the water than this."

"Fresh flavours, bold colours, and stunning plating tend to be the trend here, and looking at the photos we can confirm the seafood is indeed as fresh as it looks. One of Vancouver’s best spot for sushi, Minami boasts incredible oshi sushi as well.

"If you’re looking to get your aburi fix, Miku’s sister restaurant has also got you covered. Minami combines Japanese and West Coast cuisine in a comfortable, intimate atmosphere. At Minami, its Aburi sushi is made to be paired with their seafood dishes and your choice of sake, wine, or specialty cocktail."
