6/5/26 Bought two bags of beans to bring back home.. Coffee was dancing in my dreams ... after a very tiring and exhausting travel day home.. Back to normalcy, up early to grind.. Added TJ brown sugar oat milk creamer.. Oh my... how smooth it tastes.. Old School Espresso! Can't wait to taste the Organic Espresso Bio Nougats- dried dates- walnuts..
[[HIGHLIGHT]]I like this coffee shop, spacious interior and outdoor patio seating is available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have decent quality food, daily fresh donuts, and it's located in the base of a corporate tower so it has this sort of professionalesque vibe. The baristas are super kind and their coffee is top notch! Was served quickly and had an enjoyable experience here.
This place was so busy when we walked in around 9am (it also happens to be cruise day and FIFA) so the line was long and it took a bit to get our coffee orders. Most of the staff were really nice but there was one girl that seemed to have a bit of an attitude or just seemed annoyed. My brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk was made extremely sweet with barely any oat milk, so I had to get it remade. I usually hate to be that person but the drink was essentially undrinkable. The doughnuts looked so good and seemed really popular so I got the sprinkle doughnut and it really wasn't that great. I was expecting Krispy Kreme melt-in-your mouth texture but it was kind of stale.
An update to my previous review. We heard that the London Fog drink was invented in Vancouver in 1997. Knowing how good 49th Parallel is with coffee I thought I'd try their version of the London Fog. I wasn't disappointed. In fact it was best London Fog I've ever had. I've had them at other places but I've never seen a preparation like 49th. They use loose leaf Earl Gray tea in a tall paper tea bag. They put the bag in your cup pour the steamed milk in and the tea steeps right into the milk. It's the smoothest London Fog I've had and isn't cloyingly sweet like many I've had.
We stopped by 49th Parallel Coffee in Vancouver and it was the first thing we ate after flying in earlier that morning. I was in need of a snack and this was a short walk from our hotel. 49th Parallel is well known for their thoughtfully sourced, house-roasted coffees and their cult-favorite donuts, but they also offer a small menu of sandwiches if you're looking for something more filling. It wasn't too busy when we got there, though most of the tables were taken. We ordered a mix of sweet and savory: the chestnut brûlée donut, a salted caramel old fashioned, and a couple of breakfast sandwiches--the Doug and the Cascadia--both served on soft, buttery brioche buns. My other half also grabbed an Americano to go with it all. The chestnut brûlée donut was my fav of the bunch. The chestnut flavor was perfectly balanced--nice and light. The sandwiches were also good, especially thanks to that pillowy soft brioche. Overall, 49th Parallel was the perfect stop for a small, simple snack! Would recommend.
So I got to try a super delicious vanilla latte with almond milk thanks to 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters and loved it! I was in Harvest Wagon on Yonge St., Toronto and was offered a complimentary coffee of my choice made by friendly sales rep, Manon. The blend is called Old School Espresso and I immediately loved the rich flavour. Manon added the perfect amount of vanilla syrup so it allowed me to enjoy the fantastic coffee bean flavour much more. And the latte tasted even better with each delicious sip! It was a nice unexpected treat that made my day!
i'm a sucker for strawberry matcha lattes, and consider it more as a summer treat, but this one completely shifted that mindset. the holiday feature sign for the strawberry matcha caught my eye outside 49th parallel on thurlow, so of course i wandered in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was about 2:30 pm on a thursday and the café was already busy, a steady lineup forming while rows of donuts on display sat looking far too tempting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]the space has that bright, open vibe, located inside an office building with tall ceilings, warm wood accents, soft hanging lights, marble tabletops, relaxed and inviting even with the bustle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the drink itself was a whole moment. in the clear cup, the strawberry purée sits at the bottom like a bright red ribbon, the matcha layers above in a gentle green swirl, and then a thick cloud of cold foam settles on top. the red dusting over the foam adds a simple but festive touch, almost like a holiday themed iced matcha. flavour wise, it's surprisingly balanced. the strawberry purée mixes in easily, adding a soft sweetness that lifts the matcha without taking over. the matcha is mild, not too grassy, and the cold foam gives it that creamy, decadent finish that ties everything together. every sip hits that fruity, earthy, creamy mix, refreshing, but with a cozy energy that suits the season. overall, it's a lovely seasonal twist on a drink i already adore. if you're into matcha with a bit of fun or want something that feels both festive and refreshing, this strawberry matcha latte is definitely worth a stop.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Large space for joining friends for a chat and good times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Donuts & assortment of food items are available. Lines are often long but moves quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor & outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms require a key that can be obtained from the security counter in the main lobby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Iced mocha is delicious & keeps me coming back. Location is easy to find on the corner of Georgia & Thurlow.
I was staying at the adjoining hotel and this spot always seemed to be busy every time I walked past, so I knew it was worth a try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is rather large, with ample seating inside and even more patio seating outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You enter and are immediately enticed by the indulgent doughnuts from Lucky's Doughnuts. It took every ounce of my willpower to resist the crème brûlée doughnut, it looked amazing! I placed my order of a large dirty Ginger Spiced Chai with almond milk and noticed that they only accept credit. Totally fine with me, but good for others to be aware of. After adding a shot of espresso and swapping for almond milk and a tip, my total was north of $10, which I guess is to be expected of a downtown coffee shop, but still on the pricier side. My drink was up in a matter of minutes and because it was a chilly day, I opted to enjoy it inside. It is velvety smooth and has a slight spice, but it's missing the kick that I look for in a really good chai. I was expecting that since it's a ginger spiced chai, which I figure would have made it on the spicier side. It was still a very delicious drink, but I've had better.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]large outdoor seating area that was very clean and cute. large indoor area as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they were really nice and helpful and quick. i just got the mango passion fruit bismark and blueberry lemon bismark which were both 10/10. flavor was spectacular, custard was perfect in every aspect (texture was great and not too sweet). donut itself was little dense but otherwise very great donut! highly recommend and they were beautiful too!
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a beautiful cafe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee was excellent. I got try their maple sea salt latte and it was so good. This was the redeeming coffee shop in Vancouver as I was beginning to lose hope in finding a good coffee shop in this area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is absolutely gorgeous, with very tall ceilings, lots of greenery, and the cutest part is that their color is Tiffany blue so all the mugs and cups and even the coffee bags are the prettiest blue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]lots of indoor seating, and even more outdoor seating, and it is super close to the waterfront and walking distance from the financial district.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend this coffee shop if you're in the area and you are looking for a delicious treat. We also got to try some of their breakfast specialties, including the Doug sandwich, and the avo sandwich, which were both very filling and delicious. As a bonus while we were at the café, the US rugby team also showed up and we got to see them which was pretty cool!
Why 5 stars? Because I'll never forget that beautiful Old Fashioned Salted Caramel. --- --- --- We were on a 5-day vacation between Vancouver and Banff, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the old fashioned was one of the best things I ate on the whole trip. We didn't even necessarily plan to visit 49th Parallel, and I definitely didn't plan on ordering a donut, but it looked so appealing that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. And I'm so glad I didn't. It was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect flavor. If I lived nearby, I would have a dangerous addiction to these delightful slices of heaven. Unfortunately, nearby... I am not. I also enjoyed my coffee and my salmon bagel very much. But the salted caramel old fashioned stole the show. Bless you, donut chef.
An easy choice for a coffee stop in downtown as you can't go wrong with their donuts or beverages. I recently visited 49th Parallel Coffee to take try out their creation for the Hot Chocolate Festival. The flavour I tried was the Caramel Grey Dreams. It was perfectly paired with a Lycky's mini Brioche Bismarck filled with velvety Earl grey cream. Both dessert and drink had the just right amount of sweetness and hints Earl Grey flavour that works great as a nice afternoon pick me up.
Review Insights
I needed to grab a quick bite and coffee before heading out to Capilano and found 49th Parallel Coffee. I appreciated that they accepted online orders as I was in a rush. Brownie points for convenience. My husband ordered a double espresso and in true men's fashion claimed it to be "solid". I ordered the maple sea salt shaken espresso and it was *chefs kiss*. If you are a sweet and salty lover, get it! It won't disappoint you. We also ordered the Doug sandwich and the Avo sandwich. Don't let the looks fool you as the sandwiches' appearances fall kind of short. However, both sandwiches were delicious. Starbucks could never. The Doug Sandwich - a full bodied sandwich consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and tarragon aioli. I thought this sandwich would be too heavy, but the brioche bun is light and the scrambled eggs are really fluffy. The Avo Sandwich - a lighter sandwich featuring fried egg, avocado, cheddar cheese, sun dried tomato pesto, tarragon aioli and mixed greens. Also a good choice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe was clean and they have a water dispenser available for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was ok, but I think they were just a bit busy. read more

It was my first visit to this Parallel 49th location having been to some of their other locations many times. This cafe has a menu of breakfast sandwiches and toast in addition to the doughnuts and coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's actually not much seating inside. The patio has a lot more tables but is not very useful when it's cold out. My friend and I did manage to squeeze in but it's kind of tight seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I got: Avocado toast: I think $15 for a single slice of toast with probably half an avocado and a sprinkling of chickpeas and pickled onions with a simple side salad is steep. It was good avocado toast, though. Nothing fancy, but the spiced crunchy chickpeas were a nice touch. Crème brûlée bismarck: This was great! It was my first time trying a bismarck donut from them since I usually visit the other cafes early in the morning before the bismarcks are ready. The yeast dough was very fluffy and the pastry cream inside was delicious; even though it was just vanilla pastry cream there was a really nice flavour. They were making all the yeast doughnuts heart-shaped for Valentine's Day which was really cute. Decaf americano: Pretty strong for an americano and a little acidic but not unpleasant. It really grew on me as I was drinking it. Other food tips: My friend ordered a breakfast sandwich and the egg came out very runny and messy. I think he liked it even if it was messier than he wanted. The eggs are cooked to order, so it may be worth mentioning if you want a less runny egg. Also, while I have only had that one doughnut here, I love the old-fashioned and vegan/GF doughnuts that I've gotten at other cafes, so I feel like I can vouch for them as an all-around great doughnut spot. All the coffee and tea lattes are great, especially the ginger chai. read more
Apparently, 49th Parallel Coffee is one of the best in Vancouver. We were able to find parking nearby so we could stop by for our first coffee of the day. I was surprised that they didn't have any specialty coffee offerings (like a pour over) or even cold brew. They had the typical espresso offerings along with non-coffee options and seasonal drinks (a couple of my friends enjoyed their lavender lemonade). I ended up getting a flat white which was pretty strong, just like how I wanted. I could definitely taste the espresso, which was on the darker side. Not my favorite, but still enjoyable. The cup and plate they served the drink with has a pleasant blue shade. Not a whole lot of seating inside, but we were able to grab a spot outdoors. read more

SO GOOD. [[HIGHLIGHT]]good service and clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i had the doug and it was delicious, the bread was like pan de sal. definitely will be back next time i'm in vancouver! read more
The 49th Parallel is a great spot for a healthy option breakfast (and good donuts). We had the the Avocado toast, The Doug, and The Salmon Toast. I had the Salmon Toast and it was a lite portion with great taste the dill was just enough for a good flavor on top. I had a bite of the Doug from my daughter and the Tarragon sauce was excellent. The counter service was good, although there was only Splenda on the coffee table counter and when I asked for Raw Sugar, the gal making coffee's told me to go down around the corner and ask someone else. I wasn't real happy about that, but whatever. The coffee counter and sitting area is a typical bit small area of a large high ceiling lobby of a high rise. It was super on a Sunday morning. I can only imagine on a weekday with businesses operating and employees grabbing a cup of Joe and sando for the morning. I would recommend this place. Cheers! read more
While in town for work, I dropped by for a quick breakfast. I opted for a medium Venezuelan coffee, a matcha chocolate vegan gf donut, and the Avo (no pesto, no aioli). I didn't have high hopes for the donut but it was SO good. It was perfectly rich and not overpowering and the matcha flavors definitely came through strongly. I ~really~ enjoyed it. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the coffee so much that I went back once more during my stay in Vancouver. When I got the large Venezuelan coffee, it wasn't as good (I'm not sure if the barista was rushed or if they were being more mindful of the condensed milk or what it may have been, but the flavors weren't the same). The service here is fairly quick, and while finding seating on the weekend is a bit tough, there are plenty of options indoor and outdoor. read more

I'm writing this on behalf of my hubs who says 49th Parallel has the best espresso and coffee drinks in Vancouver, and quite possibly, the whole Northwest! He drinks A LOT of coffee and also grinds his own beans and has pulled many espresso shots so he knows his stuff. He just loves this place. Service is friendly, the turquoise cups are super cute, and the donuts are dang good too. read more

We loved this spot! We loved it so much that we actually had breakfast here twice and I still can't decide if I liked their salmon toast or breakfast sandwiches better. My husband liked their coffee and we also had the maple bacon donut and the mango passion fruit donut. I think the latter was my favorite on the sweets. It was a busy spot but the food came out pretty fast and there was ample seating. They had nice cold water available. The service was very nice (as is everyone I've met in Canada so far) and the food came out pretty fast and was well priced. Good people watching on the outdoor seating too. read more

In the lobby of an office tower, nestled in between hotels, this place was busy when we arrived and waited at 9am. We appreciated the variety of options available and the regular and decaf Americanos were excellent. The salmon was plentiful on the tasty sourdough. The coffee cruller tasted of black coffee, not too sweet, and the texture was like a churro. We enjoyed eating in the comfy seating area. read more
Stopped by for breakfast! I was tempted by The Doug, the strawberry Bismarck and an iced latte. Quite a busy spot so expect a wait for the breakfast sandwich. I really liked it - quite filling with good flavor with the caramelized onions. The donut was solid and the iced latte was perfect for a summer day. read more

I don't have donuts often but when I do it's got to be from Lucky's donuts found inside 49th parallel coffee! Tried it the pineapple upside down and the mango passionfruit Bismarck donuts. Both had amazingly fluffy dough and the perfect amount of filling on the inside! I liked the mango passionfruit one a little more because there was a good amount of brightness and tartness to it. read more

Good desert after ramen and a bit of a walk to digest ;) Donuts are fresh and a good variety to choose from and the coffee was very good perfect for a cold afternoon in town Pretty busy location so it's q voy hard to find a spot to sit and eat. read more
Without a large enough vessel to craft a wet Cappuccino (yeah hubby is fancy) barista made the most AMAZing latte with extra foam. Thick crema heart, topping a robust roast, went down an absolute treat. Lucky's chocolate old fashioned donut was very crisp all the way through the crumb and super sweet for a low-sugar regulated palate, but as the hub's treat, he devoured it, happily announcing it was the most expensive OF he'd had, eliciting a huge smile. Makes for a great start to the day ;) read more

A friend had some leftover coffee from 49th Parallel and after I tried some, I was immediately intrigued by the unique taste and texture. When there was a second chance to grab coffee, I took the opportunity to get a drink myself! - PARKING - Street parking available, although we were staying in a hotel nearby so we walked over! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Really cozy interior, and I was immediately captivated by the beautiful teal blue color of their logo and cups! You line up along the glass display cases showing their baked goods and donuts (super tempting, they know what they're doing), which gives you time to peruse before you get to the cash register. Cashier was super friendly and sweet! After ordering, it didn't take more than 5 minutes to get my drink. - DRINK - Iced Venezuelan Coffee w/ Oat Milk ($6.35, +~$1): There's only one size for the Iced version of the Venezuelan Coffee, but I'm usually more of an iced coffee person so I didn't mind. The cashier did note that because their reduction is made prior, that couldn't be adjusted to be non-dairy, which was totally fine, but I appreciated him saying so! The flavor and texture of the Venezuelan Coffee is such a unique milky, smooth experience! I thoroughly enjoyed my drink and I'm honestly going to have to try to recreate this at home because I don't live in Vancouver! - OVERALL - If you're visiting Vancouver, I'd say to try the Venezuelan Coffee. If you live in Vancouver, I'm extremely envious of you! read more
I got introduced to their coffee by a local from Vancouver during the 10 days we were there, and we have been to this location 3x during our stay!! Their coffee is aromatic and delicious and oh my gosh, their donuts are decadence!! There are few 49th parallel locations but this is my favorite because well I've only been here and it's also because they have Lucky donuts here. Their donuts are sooo good and so beautiful! The service is also quick and friendly and they make your drinks and food pretty timely! The only downside to this location is it's on the ground floor of a business building and there are not that many seats indoor. There are plenty outdoor though. I would highly recommend for their delicious coffee and donuts and also the location (close to tons of shopping) read more
