The staff are so friendly and as someone who is from Seattle, the warmth of the baristas was not only different for me, but it was genuine and not forced. The coffee was AMAZING. There are even coffee tastings to try the coffee to see which one suits you best. They offer baked items in a case and coffee for purchase. I look forward to coming back here when I visit.

While visiting I wanted a coffee so we found this place. Very cute shop and pretty spacious…read more There is a 2nd room so head over there. I didn't find our cashier super friendly. He just said this is all we have. The menu is small so not a lot of variety and truly just basic coffee drinks. I was hoping for a frufru drink I guess but there was none. My cousin was going to order a snack but I saw little bugs flying around so I said to pass. It made it less appealing. We ended up with a cappuccino and vanilla latte. Both were smooth and good. I thought the size was a little small but this was my first latte in Canada so their sizes could be different from what I'm used to. . Overall solid coffee drink though.

Spicy hot chocolate? Yes, please!…read more @honolulucoffeeyvr is back with their Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival creations, and this iconic cafe did not disappoint! Kim's Berry - A spicy gochujang strawberry hot chocolate with oat milk & 70% dark chocolate Floral Glow - A citrus guava hot chocolate that's like biting into a juicy chocolate orange Both are served with the softest vegan strawberry & orange almond cookies for the ultimate dunking experience! My personal fav was the Kim's Berry which was so unexpected! The sweet strawberry notes ended with a small kick of heat that was just perfect.

Cute, clean, good seating. The service was good, selection good as well. A solid choice.read more

I absolutely love it, a passion for coffee and non commercial fashion. The guy making the coffee will chat with you if you have questions. The bulletproof coffee was good , sadly, the first time I had it, it wasn't too distinguishable in tasting the silky butter, ( it could had been my palate). They also sell coffee grounds there , brilliant. If you are close by, I would def stop by and grab a personalize cup of bullet proof coffee and check out the racks.

Not too sweet, the perfect amount of :) I would recommend coming here if you want good food, drinks, and a lively space to get work done! Also their service is always amazing! Very kind staff :)

I think it was one of those Cherry Blossom Food Festivals that brought this place to my attention…read moreabout a year or two ago. Been wanting to try it for awhile and now I finally have. We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!

Would recommend getting it hot for the value. Service was good they're nice about answering our questions! Also yes - it indeed is takeout only with no seating inside and a bench outside. No bathrooms and not really a trashcan inside. But they have an open area to see how they make the baked goods and it's really neat how they craft their baked goods - everything is organized and properly labeled, like a real bakery :)

When we plan our return trip to Vancouver, Thierry will be our breakfast place! Thank you to the staff who were so helpful, and thank you for the delicious EVERYTHING!!

I started going here practically ever day for the treats and coffee and other drinks, because I hate Starbucks the people are not welcoming or friendly but lumeire was always friendly and nice I will miss the staff dearly and the decor was very cozy like the netherlands cafes are. lumiere pls come back we all miss you .

Space is clean. I didnt stay or have any of their food though so cant really comment on more than that. Pricing is high but similar to other local coffee shops. If i was in the area I would come back for their special items. Overall solid 4 stars. A step above any of the big chains for sure. But it isnt good enough that I would go out of my way for it. If you're nearby though, worth a visit.

An update to my previous review. We heard that the London Fog drink was invented in Vancouver in…read more1997. 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…read moreearlier 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.

And they were delicious . Each items were the size of my my palm. The cafe is located near the public library on Robson Street in downtown with access through public transportation.
