    Guava sour beer and a pistachio mocha latte
    Pamela B.

    Came in here for a cup of coffee and they also sell beer. I tried the sour guava beer and it was beyond delicious. My boyfriend had a pistachio mocha latte which he enjoyed. This is a cute little coffee shop located along the seawall. Decent bathroom and friendly service.

    smoked salmon bagel
    Dan R.

    "If you start me up If you start me up, I'll never stop" (Jagger/Richards) It was our last morning in Vancouver, before we boarded a bus to the Ferry Terminal and our cruise to Alaska. We didn't really want to stray far from the hotel for breakfast, And we sure didn't want to pay the price of our hotel's exorbitant breakfast. But my wife remembered a coffee and breakfast shop across the street from where he had dinner the night before. And that's how four of us walked over to Cafe Villaggio for an excellent breakfast. You order from the service counter, and either wait inside or wait on their street level patio until your order is ready. The weather was gorgeous, so we grabbed a table in front of the the Cafe. It was an excellent spot for people watching, and dog watching. The Cafe had a very impressive selection of breads, rolls, muffins, croissants, egg plates, lunch specials and Daily Specials. We went into the Daily Special board, and I ordered a smoked salmon bagel and my wife ordered a smoked salmon wrap. My bowl was delicious and came with a big served of smoked salmon on a multigrain bagel The coffee was great too. I've learned that the quality of restaurant coffee is a bit like spinning the Wheel of Fortune and hoping you get something that doesn't suck. But Villaggio's was excellent. We saw a number of patrons tie up their dogs to a table, then run inside for a coffee. I gotta tell ya, those dogs got a lot of lovin' from folks walking by. As for me, I sure loved Villaggio's. It was a great way to start up our morning.

    Swiss roll was frozen and staff said it's supposed to be frozen
    Christina L.

    Great location and variety of pastries, but food and drinks are average. I've been here many times. Today I got a plain Swiss roll, and it was mostly frozen. I told the staff, and she said yeah it's frozen. It's because they "freeze it overnight then cut it". It's mind boggling for me because if I'm eating it there, should it not be fully thawed before they serve it to the customer? They did not seem apologetic at all, so I ended up getting a to-go box to take it home. Also, we had breakfast here once, with eggs bacon toast. Don't do it! It's microwaved bacon as they don't actually have a full kitchen in the back. It tasted like airplane food.

    Main street entrance (immediately across the street from Cardero's). Doors open on a nice day!

    **Not sure why this cafe shows as "CLOSED" here on Yelp, as I went here today and it was TOTALLY OPEN** Today is Mother's Day and I booked a massage for myself in this Coal Harbor area, but I was early, so I decided to walk around the area. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and not too cold, and I decided to treat myself to a coffee or a drink somewhere, as I had an hour to kill. I walked towards Cardero's, but this café directly across the street caught my eye. It had a large outdoor seating area, with both bistro chairs and tables and benches and picnic tables sectioned off from the street, and the doors were open and it just appeared inviting. So I ventured inside. Wow, what a display of beautiful-looking sandwiches and wraps and pastries and croissants! And so so many to choose from! And a large selection of breakfast foods, too, and coffee drinks, too. So many choices! A few folks and I stared at the display cases, transfixed, not sure what to order, as everything looked so good. We joked amongst ourselves, what to choose, what to choose? I opted for an iced vanilla latté and a BLT (it had been years since I had a BLT and I was feeling nostalgic). I went outside to a sunny table and soon after a lady brought my order to me. The sandwich was perfect: lots of crispy bacon (not greasy at all. Bonus!), perfectly toasted bread with just the right ratio of mayo, lots of fresh tomato slices and lettuce. It was exactly how I would've made it (if I had the time and inclination to make it, lol!). And my coffee was pretty good, too. This is a lovely place with tons of seating options, inside and out, and a wide selection of pastries and light meals. Will definitely return!

    Nice cafe resting stop from walks along the water, in Coal Harbour, near the Waterfront Bayshore Hotel / across the street from Cardero's A wide variety of desserts and coffee styles offered. It was the perfect pit stop for a friend and I taking a quick break during a rainy day walk. The cookies are massive & I must say the best one of the lot is their hazelnut chocolate chip cookie (which also has some caramel inside)! A truly decadent cookie that is totally worth the calories! I only also their ginger and peanut oatmeal cookies which were good but not as unique as the hazelnut chocolate chip caramel cookie!! I'll be coming back specifically for THOSE!! I took a pic of the desserts showcase, as the cookies are in jars above the window shelves.

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich, Mulled Apple Cider, Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownie
    Dana S.

    I've had my eye on this place for a while since the location is so nice and upon entering I was immediately impressed with the huge selection. On the sweet side, they have cheesecakes, Swiss rolls, tarts, croissants, and more, and lots of sandwiches and quiches on the savoury side. The cafe is also super cozy inside with a good amount of outdoor tables. The interior sort of reminded me of a hotel lobby in a good, nostalgic way! The staff was nice as well. I wouldn't say it was loud inside, but there were lots of families and conversation happening, so it's not really the place for working, but definitely a good place to catch up with a friend or relax by yourself. I had a smoked salmon sandwich, mulled apple cider, and pumpkin cheesecake brownie. I will admit the sandwiches looked a little plain in the case, but they grill it up for you and the end result was a simple but delicious sandwich. There wasn't anything super unusual about them but I really like the rolls they use, I thought the texture was pleasant and the flavour was light but wholesome. The portion size was satisfying and they didn't skimp on the salmon. They also serve the sandwich with a small slaw salad. Apple cider was good, spiced enough to make it interesting but not too strong. The pumpkin cheesecake brownie - basically a pumpkin cheesecake with a thin brownie crust - was very good. The cheesecake had a nice texture and strong pumpkin flavour, and the brownie was smooth and fudgy, with pumpkin seeds studded throughout. The ratio of brownie to cheesecake was perfect for the cheesecake to be the star with the brownie adding a little something extra. For everything, the price was really good for the size! It's a bit out of the way for me, but I would love to be back here soon!

    A terrible cup of decaf coffee

    Baristas are a group of giggling teenagers who don't know anything about coffee. Instead of focusing on the customers they are having a loud conversation about having to work the weekend. The cookies are probably 4-5 days old.

    Cinnamon buns
    Scott T.

    This is the perfect place to stop for a great cafe latte and a pastry to start off your day. It's clean, bright and welcoming. The staff is very personable and attentive. The selection of pastries is overwhelming, and the most difficult thing is deciding which one to order. The cinnamon buns are the most enticing version you will ever encounter. This place is a gem, and so convenient to the Westin Bayshore Hotel.

    location location location, great for touristy stop along the water to park from Marriott, Coast Coal Harbor Hotel or Westin. service was a bit slow, but really enjoyed the leisurely pace.

    Happy to find this quaint little cafe by the harbor on my visit to Vancouver! There was plenty of indoor seating which was great as it was a chilly morning. My almond croissant was packed with flavor and warmed up upon request! My group got our drinks and food really quickly despite how busy they were. Overall, a great cafe for friendly service, quality coffee, and a breathtaking view!

    Excellent almond croissant !
    Marina A.

    In search of a perfect croissant .... the search is over. This place delivers ! Flaky outside and perfectly moist inside with lots of almond paste and plenty of almonds! Great location across from the beautiful stroll on the sea wall in Coal Harbour. Plenty of tables outside to enjoy the best Vancouver summer weather. They serve full breakfast and good variety of coffee. Our second time here and will be back for some more :))

    Maria W.

    Conveniently located by the marina, friendly service, merely passable eats. I wouldn't have bothered, but there isn't much else by to grab a quick bite unless you want to hoof it deeper into town. I did dig the fresh squeeze juice machine, it's a looker. Had to take a snap of it to post. Otherwise this joint is unremarkable.

Ive had it before and at least its pretty consistent. Ive tried several other things on their menu in the past too, all pretty solid 4/5. Nothing standout as so amazing to deserve 5 stars, but consistent and tasty. I did have a reservation which they charge $10/person for, purely for donation to a charity and does not contribute to your meal at all, and also nonrefundable. While I find this somewhat annoying, I dont blame them for doing this from a business standpoint. They always have a lineup so there is no shortage of customers for them. There is no reason they need to deal with the headache of a ton of reservations. On the flip side, they honoured my reservation in a very timely fashion and I bypassed the line, so props to them for doing that part right. If you have to park, then you may find street metered parking or use one of the nearby paid lots.
