Visit websiteOne of Vancouver's favourite local coffee roasters with a stunning space and an admirable goal: "to serve the absolute highest quality coffee that they can imaging." It's less of a focus, but I say their in-house vegan baked goods options are as delicious as their hand-crafted, single-origin coffees. As their cafe is often packed, seats can be hard to snag.
