Discover specialty coffee in different parts of Vancouver
Vancouver's specialty coffee scene punches well above its weight, driven by a handful of pioneering roasters and a city that takes its morning cup seriously. From the cobblestone blocks of Gastown to the leafy streets of Kitsilano, you'll find a deep bench of cafes sourcing, roasting, and brewing at a world-class level.
Gastown is where much of it started.
