On any given day, we will stop into one of the myriad options for coffee in Vancouver that happen to be on our paths – and this can range from a drive-thru iced vanilla coffee to a single origin pour-over. But when there is time to sit and savour, we often opt to seek out quiet little neighbourhood gems that are a bit off the main through-ways. Here’s a few that capture our hearts. If you know of any others, please let us know!
