Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Surrey

"What is it: A popular spot, often with a line outside to show, for all-day breakfast in the slowly-turning-hip Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood. Why go: For diner basics and classics, especially eggs benedicts, done very well. One thing you’re sure to love: the pulled pork pancakes complete with Jack Daniel’s maple syrup."

"East Vancouver’s Bistro Wagon Rouge a.k.a. “blue collar French bistro” has a retro diner vibe, classic French comfort food made with quality ingredients – like cassoulet and French onion soup – a nice little drink menu, and prices that will have your wallet saying, "oui!". Location: 1869 Powell St."

"This cozy Powell Street eatery is one of our tops when it comes to cozy atmospheres and comforting food. Expect top-notch, unpretentious hospitality and delicious French bistro fare in this Port District gem. Address: 1869 Powell Street, VancouverPhone: 604-251-4070"

"The Naam is the oldest natural food restaurant in the region. It was originally intended to be a meeting spot where people could come to experience “the good life.” They remain true to their original vision by remaining small, using fresh and pure ingredients, and maintaining a warm, homey, and friendly family-run environment. They’ve been serving vegetarian and vegan meals for over 50 years and can cater to a variety of nutritional requirements."

"A post shared by Hanna McLean (@hannamclean_) on Oct 23, 2016 at 2:19pm 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, appetizers, and much more here."

"A Kitsilano institution known for its delicious breakfast, the Naam has been serving up its tasty vegan and vegetarian dishes for over 30 years. A taste of their miso gravy is a must. Try it slathered on their dragon bowl or over their sesame fries."

"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."

"Finishing the mega-helpings of the dishes here is a challenge, but once you see the Charlie Bowl, Pulled Pork Pancakes, or their Fried Chicken Eggs Benny – you’ll be tempted to devour every last bite.

"What is it: A downtown all-day breakfast and lunch spot with crumbled biscuit-and-egg bowls. They have another location on 4th Street, and both remain local favorites. Why go: You’ve always wanted to try green eggs and ham, haven’t you?"

"Frenchman and former Le Gavroche pastry chef Thierry Busset is the chef patron of Thierry, a brilliant patisserie/cafe/chocolatier and lunch spot downtown. Sit on the sunny terrace while you scoff his delectable salted caramel macaroons (£1.23 each) or sink into one of the sumptuous cakes or seasonal tarts made by his wife and co-pastry chef Alison and their team. At lunch, try one of the gourmet baguettes (created by local fine-dining restaurant West's renowned chef Quang Dang), such as the cold smoked sockeye salmon with cucumber and caper cream cheese (£2.71 for half/£5.45 full)."

"Thierry is best known for their fine French pastries, but expert baristas and an organic, fair trade espresso blend, designed by Casa del Caffe’s Vincent Gentile, ensure consistently good coffee, too. Their beans are dry roasted to ensure freshness and a unique taste profile that’s strong and smooth with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and spice. Late night coffee drinkers will appreciate Thierry’s close time of 12am, and spiked drinks are available, too."

"Looking inside, you can see there are actually two almond sections: one tube-like almond bar and a generous amount of almond paste buried under a number of layers and folds. Content-wise, this had the second highest almond proportion. Its shell didn't have the same flakiness as the two above but made up for it with a great rise."

"Best egg and salmon croissants plate for breakfast in vancouver:) you have to try it. Price is great and big portion plus great service!!"

"Tractor's new at-home weekly subscription service (that kicks off November 30) features a curated menu of soup, stews, entrées and their beloved salads, in weekly rotation and all ready to heat-and-serve. There's options for two, six or 10 meals (starting from $26 for the two-meal option, up to $130 for 10 meals), plus an inventory of groceries staples. It's perfect for those who like to meal-prep but still like ample room to personalize their dinner plans."

"Located on Kitsilano's West 4th Avenue, Tractor's menu has a focus on using as much local and seasonal ingredients, with options for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free and meat eaters. Enjoy filling salads, sandwiches, soups and proteins that are prepared in small batched to guarantee freshness. The cafeteria-style set-up means that you won't be waiting long for your food, and the best part about this 'fast food' is that it's healthy!"

"The salads are already delicious enough on their own, but are elevated to a whole new level with the addition of a fat, impeccably seared albacore tuna steak."

"We all scream for ice cream but sometimes it just isn’t right for your dietary requirements. Stuffies Pastries Cafe not only offers up the Asian dessert of stuffed pastries taiyaki, but fills it with vegan soft serve!. The pastry cone is also gluten-free!"

"Located steps from the Lonsdale Quay waterfront and seabus, this community favourite offers fresh coffee and is the perfect location for a post-brunch seaside stroll. 123-156 Carrie Cates Court9am to 4pm, seven days a weekshipyardscoffee.com"

"That means you’ll be seeing lots of wood accents, including a gas fireplace. As you sip, you’ll be feeling nice and cozy with pillows, soft lighting, and candles. As for beer, they offer 2 core beers while the other 7 are rotating taps."

"Inspired by the old streetcars that used to toodle around North Van, Streetcar Brewing was in the works for years before opening. Now, you can check out this hidden brewery in the heart of LoLo. We’re ashamed to admit it, but Boston Pizza by the slice was the perfect choice for food here."

"It’s hard to believe Parallel 49 only opened a few years ago; the brewery has really exploded since opening. Their brews embody the fun of craft beer and their flavours showcase a diversity of original flavours. The tasting room acts as a refuge for beer afficiandos and newcomers alike, and allows visitors to enjoy sampler sizes of everything from ales, lagers, malts and popular seasonal brews."

"A massive overhaul to their taproom along with a more dedicated shift in focus to start creating some really inventive beer has Parallel ranking much higher than we would have given them credit for a few years back. They are on fire right now, and having the creative minds of Boombox in-house is just an added bonus."

"Driven by a never ending thirst for amazing beer, Parallel 49 does things a bit differently, offering great beers with unique flavors, such as the hopped sour Bodhisattva due to its unique leafy taste, the Tricycle Radler, giving of  a nice aroma of grapefruits and of course their Jearkface 9000 a great Wheat Ale."

"Inside, you’ll find a cavernous, timber-beamed, two-level space, with the upper level Drinklab dedicated to experimental cocktail and beer concoctions, and the larger downstairs bar serving up Brewhall's craft beers (as well as collaborations with other craft brewers, along with rotating guest taps). This isn’t just a massive, overachieving beer garden, though. From wine to cocktails, from soup to nuts—literally—Brewhall serves up pretty much everything you need for a night out."

"While the BREWHALL’s magic is in feeling like a massive German brewhall, but there’s a reason they’ve been a multi-award winner for the annual Populist Awards and it’s because there’s also magic in the patio, beer, staff, community, really all of it. They also serve a mean brunch on the weekends and the patio is conveniently covered for when Raincouver is in town."

"In the former hall that used to be Steel Toad, this European style brew-hall is self service which makes it pretty quick to grab a beer and go. Did we mention there are arcade games and pinball?"

"Tim Hortons, on 1409 marine drive, is one of the many branches of Tim Hortons, which is one of the most famous fast-food restaurants not only in Canada but all over the world. It is originally Canadian fast food and is Canada’s largest quick-service chain restaurant and is also famous because of the high-quality coffee and doughnuts. Tim Horton’s headquarters are in Toronto, but it has more than 4800 branches in 14 different countries."

"A post shared by Soft Peaks Ice Cream (@softpeaksicecream) on Apr 10, 2019 at 3:16pm PDT. This spot’s soft serve is all-natural and lower in calories and fat than traditional ice cream recipes because it is made with Avalon organic milk. You can also add an assortment of fun toppings to your cone."

"An organic spot that technically serves ice milk instead of ice cream. It’s less sweet but don’t worry, they make up for it with their incredible toppings. Think of it as the best and weirdest bowl of cereal you’ve ever had."

"Organic Avalon dairy milk turned into swirly soft serve, topped with fresh honeycomb is the best thing at Soft Peaks. So sweet, so simple, so yum. Address: 25 Alexander Street, VancouverInstagram: @softpeaksicecream"

"A quiet place to unwind and enjoy nature and the most iconic aspects of Vancouver’s skyline, including BC place, Hinge Park in Olympic Village is perfect for packing a picnic and staying awhile. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Darlene (@darfunkel)"
