Cute little family-style cafe located inside a heritage building. It has a great selection of foods. It has a cozy vibe, great place to chat with friends. The food and drinks, however, were average. They were not bad but weren't surprising either.

Do not recommend this place.

If you're in the Broadway Vancouver Area, I DONT RECOMMEND coming to this cafe for either pastries or drinks. Atmosphere is rustic but tables and surroundings were dirty. They definitely need to deep clean the place. Service was okay, they had brought me my coffee and pastry but came to me to pay my bill before I was even done. I tipped 15% and the server didn't say thank you. What I ordered: * Apple turnover * Spanish Latte Apple turnover is definitely from Costco. Tastes exactly like them just wish icing sugar sprinkled on and whip cream on The side... don't bother with their pastries. Their Spanish latte just tastes like a mocha. Overall wouldn't come back or recommend.

Colourfully chandeliers grace the ceiling.

Perfect day for afternoon tea al fresco...black wrought iron bistro tables and chairs whisk me away from my busy day. Shade trees sway in the light breeze. If you are craving a perfect patio, choose Cittadella. The luscious pastries will delight- the cherry danish, not too sweet, dusted with powdered sugar, delivered to the table by the smiling server. Chai tea served in a handsome teapot and mug. Gracious service. An easy walk over to Ash from either Cambie or Broadway. Lots of street parking.

I love walking and finding out about this lovely place was just an amazing surprise! Usually, I'd stick with places 2 min away from my job, but after finding out about this place it's was a lovely surprise! I go here almost everyday!! THE FOOD IS SOOO GOOD and the one I usually get comes with a soup. It is such a lovely place and so small and quaint! The patio is lovely with lots of sun and a very relaxing atmosphere. I come back daily for to this small little gem!

Rooibos Tea Latte, Egg Salad Sandwich, Black Bean Oatmeal Brownie

I was drawn in by the heritage building that the cafe is "housed" in. In terms of atmosphere, it definitely offers something a little different than other coffee shops in the city. The inside is intimate and cozy (if a bit cramped) with seating on two floors, and they have multiple patio areas outside. They had live music inside while I was there! Ordering was a little confusing because there doesn't seem to be a single menu with all the food selections, but rather cards with individual items arranged somewhat haphazardly in the area around the counter. I went with a rooibos tea latte, egg salad sandwich, and black bean oatmeal brownie. They just used President's Choice tea for the latte, which was a little disappointing since I can be a little bit of a tea snob, but in a latte, generic brand tea is really fine, and this was nothing fancy but still a decent latte. The sandwich salad was underwhelming. The egg salad itself was actually pretty good, but the menu picture showed it with lettuce (and I think tomato, but not totally sure) and there was no lettuce - just egg salad. It was just served on plain white bread, not toasted. The black bean brownie was actually fantastic - it was served warm with chocolate sauce on top and was gooey almost like a lava cake in the middle. The wait time was longer than I would have expected given the basic quality of the food. Even though there was a larger group that ordered ahead of me, I had to wait 10 minutes for a cold sandwich and brownie that came out of a fridge or freezer and was almost definitely microwaved (this is not inherently bad since it tasted great, but it does not take long to microwave a brownie), and the latte wasn't ready until about 5 minutes after the food. With the exception of the brownie, you can get much better food at other cafes in the area at the same price, and much faster.

Located in a cute heritage building, I thought the atmosphere was very "cafe like" to study or meet friends for a catch up session. I ended up getting a latte and was fairly unimpressed by it. It had a weird aftertaste, wasn't sure what it was related to, maybe burnt milk?

Cozy place , they do serve alcoholic beverages . I ordered latte+ muffin , it's on promo for 7$ . Only 4 stars since 1$ extra for oat milk . I do believe vegan milk can b stored for longer than a regardless milk so it shouldn't b cost more , especially plenty of places around not charging extra $. I rather tip the barista that extra $

I had the displeasure of visiting Caffe Citadella this morning. The staff were rude from the get-go. It's the kind of place where you have to "try" to spend money because they don't seem at all interested in serving you. We ordered a latte, chai latte and two tuna melts. The staff tried to put us off ordering food by telling us it would take ten minutes, despite the place being empty during Sunday brunch in Van (should have seen this red flag right away). When the food did come out it was inedible. I ate half of my sandwich to find out if it tasted as bad as it looked but I regret it because I promptly puked it up as soon as I got home! Absolutely terrible. Cute on the outside, ugly on the inside. Such a shame for this beautiful heritage building.

It located in a beautiful old house, it's heritage building. The staff is friendly and coffee is great. I love this place, they have outside patio and upper level seating. It has character and warm décor. Perfect place to meet with friends!

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!

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.
