I LOVE this place. I hadn't been in years, but stopped by yesterday as I was in the area. It was even better than I remembered. Not only is the coffee amazing but the food is equally good. I got a Latte and Rosemary Egg Muffin. Loved both. The atmosphere is bright and airy, and the staff are super nice. I definitely won't wait so long before coming back again! read more

Elysian is a cozy coffee shop located on Broadway. I wasn't looking for this place, but wandered into it during my venture. It was a little busy when I came in. The staff was very friendly and made recommendations on the two different drip coffees that they were brewing; the Guatemala and Ethiopian roast. You can also purchase pastries, bottled water and canned drinks. Outside or inside seating is available. read more

Elysian Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

If you're expecting a latte to come adorned with swirls and sugar-induced euphoria, look elsewhere. Elysian's latte is a no-nonsense, no-sweetener affair. It's coffee for grown-ups who appreciate the pure, unadulterated taste of the bean. Strong, bold, and not a hint of saccharine nonsense. The blueberry almond crumble muffin at Elysian is a lesson in moderation. It's not trying to be a pastry behemoth - it's compact and slightly sweet. The kind of muffin you can enjoy guilt-free and still feel like you've treated yourself. Elysian's large windows facing Broadway are like a cinematic experience for coffee lovers. Sip your unsweetened latte, nibble on that just-right muffin, and let the urban theatre of Broadway unfold before your eyes. A coffee shop with a view - what more could you ask for? read more

Went here after a hot yoga class nearby. Cafe seems cool and I like the pink exterior and all the plants inside. Unfortunately, neither the coffee nor cleanliness impressed me. Typically I'm a fan of nitro cold brew but somehow this didn't cut it for me. I wasn't impressed with the flies flying around in the cafe as well. read more

coffee are amazing! The barista looks gorgeous and the guy helped me ordering's tattoo looks fabulous! Must visit place +++1 in Vancouver

This coffee shop is located about 2 blocks from the Holiday Inn on Broadway. There's currently no street parking due to construction so if you can walk that's the best option. The inside is cozy and filled with plants. The service was good and our coffee was ready pretty quickly. My only complaint is that they don't have any flavoring for your drink except honey. We ordered the mocha and it was delicious. It was made perfectly. read more

I've been meaning to come here because I love the coffee at places that use their beans, but when I saw they had a rooibos chai and ended up getting that instead of anything bean. Pretty good chai latte, unsweetened (which is my preference) but very smooth. I also had the Rosemary Egg Muffin and a Friand. Egg muffin was really nice with the layer of melted cheese on top and made a light but surprisingly satisfying lunch. It was my first time seeing a friand and it sounded neat so I wanted to try, and really liked it! It's kind of like a cross between a poundcake and almond cookie - very dense, but soft and moist. They have a small assortment of other baked goods and 3 sandwiches (two meat sandwiches that I can't remember the details of and a grilled cheese). The food is priced pretty reasonably. They apparently have complimentary sparkling water but the friend I went with and I weren't offered any and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, I only gathered this from watching other customers get it from the barista when they ordered. Very cool that they have it and I wish I'd known about it to take advantage when I ordered. The front facade of the building is really pretty. The interior is basically a run-of-the-mill Vancouver coffee shop: clean and bright, lots of plants, lots of natural light. It's on the smaller side, but laid-out well so that it doesn't feel cramped or get congested. Baristas were nice and approachable. From my perspective, it's a good place to try if you're in the area often, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. Even though it was my first time there I feel like I've basically been to this same shop dozens of times... Nothing really wrong with it, the food and drink was very good and the environment pleasant, just lacking character. Maybe I'm just becoming a little jaded though. :) read more

Elysian Coffee - Rosemary Egg Muffin, Friand, Rooibos Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Location: This coffee shop is busy but not because its all that great but because it is in a very busy central location near bus stops and shops.No parking. Atmosphere:Frankly this café isn't a very chill spot. It was small and there was limited seating. The service, is rushed and the baristas don't seem all that glad to be there. There's a lot of café competition in Vancouver. So if the atmosphere is not warm and inviting I would just go across the street. It cost too much $$ for drinks and food options are few. My pastry was not fresh, it was dry and cold. The service is just sort of average. It's a bit disorganized because folks don't know where to stand to wait for things as there's not much room inside or direction given. read more

Visited this coffee shop near my work and I'm happy I dropped by to get some work done. They don't have wifi but I had access to the Shaw Wi-Fi in there. Many customers are in and out around 8am when I visited during the weekday. They have signs on the table to let you know a table is clean and they limit you to stay 30 minutes. However, it wasn't busy so they didn't push for anyone to leave after 30 minutes. Lots of seating inside. I know they also have seating outside on the side and front when the weather is decent. I ordered their iced latte which was fine. Didn't think it was anything special. I'll be back to try more of their coffee options and pastries. read more

It's a louder environment with no wifi so a great place to grab a coffee to go but personally I wouldn't find this place the best for working or studying or catching up with a friend if that is the kinda cafe you are looking for. read more

I was always hearing such wonderful things about this place and thought, "Heck, why not?" So, during one of my breaks at work, the curiosity struck and I found myself in line excited to give this place a goooo! Ok, so from the first glance the place have some AMAZING plants that I adore!! It makes the place more earthy and home-y! My eyes always glaze over and find it locked onto the menu and the choicess up ahead! Let's start with my fav iced Mocha with oat milk! They did it amazingly and it had that perfect kick to what I needed to finish the end of my shift! The ladies were lovely and were very accommodating when I first came in and mentioned it was my first time here! They gave such amazing suggestions! This place has the word "INCREDIBLE" attached to it! Although, the only downside of this place would be, they have the smallest cups! I wanted more, but once I passed it again it was sooo busy! Just thought, about coming back for another visit next time! Guys, please make bigger drinks!! I gulp it too quick! *it's too good* read more

Looking for something different other than your standard coffee at Starbucks or Blenz? Well you came to the right place as it is conveniently located on the busier side of broadway which is close to transit. Street parking is easy to find. This little cafe is quite busy and seating is usually limited, seems trendy and a great place to hangout. When seating is scarce I usually get it to go. This time round I decided to do a review and I come to this place quite frequently. In short - they have great service, always friendly and have approachable counter staff. They make a mean latte - strong enough to satisfy ones caffeine craving. They also have assortment of baked goods and other various items. Pricing is quite typical of a coffee shop and quite reasonable. In short I would come back! read more

Elysian Coffee had been on my list of coffee places to try for the longest time.. and I finally tried it yesterday! Was in the area to get my travel vaccines and had to grab my morning coffee. Such a cute cafe! Located in a great area and the cafe was already quite busy when I got there and a lineup formed after I ordered. I got a latte and really loved it. Great quality coffee! Their pastries looked delicious but did not get one this time as we were going to grab lunch soon. But definitely will be back again! read more

I have been meaning to try this place for a long time and have bookmarked it over a year. Finally, I got a chance to go there on my day off. I went there on Friday morning and found it's so busy!! Long line up at the cashier, no seat available and even no space to stand! I didn't understand why the people rated them so high and I really disappointed with the coffee that I got. My hubby's latte wasn't impressive and my mocha wasn't great. The baristas was not friendly at all either. Between Main and Cambie Street, there are a lot of coffee shops a way better than Elysian. I wouldn't recommend this place at all to anyone read more

Before 10am: quiet study area with good ambience. After 10:30am: crowded, noisy, people rudely dragging chairs from different tables. I give it 3/5 because the baristas were nice and helpful, coffee was ok (moderately priced), store decor was beautiful. There was no wifi however, which made this place unsuitable for studying. I guess it's more of a social spot, where the lunch rush overtakes the quiet coffee readers. Good first date spot though. The couple next to my table was probably on a tinder date or something...Very awkward vibe... The guy was trying wayy too hard... read more

I came here for a coffee and scone for breakfast this morning. It has one of the best lattes in Vancouver. Their latte is smooth, thick and fragrant and it has its personality in it. I drank the latte with their scone. Best combo especially their bakery goods were fresh and warm. I bought a German wood coffee grinder from them several years ago. They had unique coffee machines, grinders, accessories and etc. They are quite specialized in the coffee industry. Their pricing and service were average. Coffee lovers should come visit this coffee shop if you haven't tried it yet. read more

So usually I go to the Starbucks when I need coffee, anytime I have a doctors appointment. I've seen Elysian an mentally put it on my coffee bucket list lol. The Starbucks closed down, as the property seems as though a new condo building is going up. It's very pretty, clean and small. I ordered a latte, which was fine, but I'm a sweetner user, *gasp*! and they don't carry any. This is a major bummer for me, but perhaps not for yourself. In conclusion, if you are in the area and are in the mood for coffee, try this place out. The service is good, they have food/pastries as well and it's a nice place for a casual coffee. read more

AMAZING COFFEE and amazing walnut chocolate cookie but... I unfortunately have to give 4 stars for not having wifi! Studying at coffee shops is something I do on a regular basis and unfortunately I always end up at Starbucks or parallel because of the 'no wifi' issue. My favourites: -oat-milk latte (they use the brand Oatly which you can only find in the states. It's creamy and rich! SO delicious. They sell it too I think $7 a carton) - chocolate walnut cookie is a MUST. Good chocolate to walnut ratio :) read more

Any place that can create coffee art in the perfect foam and then bring over a refreshing glass of club soda as soon as you sit down is an A+ in my book. The intelligensia black cat beans are so perfectly roasted and add such a warm, richness in my cappuccino. You also can't go wrong with a straight americano. The shortbread is classic, buttery, and melts in your mouth. The ham and cheese croissant is sliced then stuffed then warmed to order. The bar is my favorite. Super sticky, chewy, sweet, and delicious. Grab a treat to go with your cafe-creation, bring a book or magazine, have a seat and breathe in the espress-goodness! read more

Just bought a take out coffee. 3$ for prepared medium size, they kept the coffee warm in a vacuum bottle. This is not a make after order kind of coffee that you would expect for what they are charging .Bad value if you put money into the equation. The coffee itself is mild, acidic and watery. There is no body. It has some buttery favor. The experience is very lacking. It is like when i made my own cup of coffee but using too much water. It just makes you angry when sucking it down you throat. I hope my angry cells will recover. Won't be future customer. read more

Elysian Coffee - Piss water like coffee， can't finish it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I'm a yelping coffee snob. As I entered the little quaint cafe surrounded by newly built concrete buildings, I was greeted by a friendly smile from an Elysian staff. I ordered a cappuccino and watched the barista make the espresso; it's like an art form as he trys to make perfection. I let it cool for a few minutes on the counter; letting the air permeate with the strong smell of espresso seeping through the steamed milk and foam layers. I take a small sip to minimize any burning to my delicate taste buds. I savour a second sip and I'm in java nirvana and well on my way to a life of coffee snobbery. The cappuccino had perfect consistency with no hint of bitterness or burnt taste. From humble beginnings in Tim's and Bucks, I have come a long way to the zenith of the coffee world. I started my coffee drinking back in University when it was just about the caffeine and not about the culture of coffee. What was I thinking? Then came the trip to Italy, when I sipped my first espresso without any sugar, cream or other fillers that disguise the true taste of the perfectly roasted coffee beans. It was like I got kicked in the mouth and I realize there was more to coffee then just caffeine, what an epiphany. My palate was going through a java baptism. But seriously, coffee snobbery doesn't have to be something negative. It means one have the appreciation of the finer points of coffee; the different roasts, varietals and brewing methods that impact on the final taste. It means one is educated and passionate about our beloved bean. Coffee snobbery is the pursuit of the perfect brew of java or espresso with the ideal crema. It may mean you have a good collection of filters and French presses at home to make your kitchen look like a chemistry lab. But, no one said perfection is easy. read more

Vancouver's 101 Best Finds (I can't say Eat - this is a drink!) Item: Cappuccino at Elysian Price: $3.25 Size: 6oz Alternative sizes: Not allowed (unless you want a latte) Taste: Strong and frothy Appearance: Beautifully presented, decorated and foamy Food Options Available: Quiches, cookies, and pastries ... So I had to try this place..... look at it everyone is giving it 5 stars. I feel like the bad guy giving it 3.5... but my cappacino was so small, it's even smaller than a starbucks tall coffee (8oz), which wasn't able to be enlarged. Maybe I am still on a caffiene high as I cannot go to sleep at 2am, having drank my cup........................................about 10 hours ago. The place is quaint, wooden chairs, simple and clean. The prices are a little higher than others, but I think it's worth it once in a while. The chai (words from my food pervert) smelled strong, but didn't taste that way. The amaretti however was tasty, gluten and wheat free, with strong flavours of cranberry and orange. Bonus about this place is that they serve you water....that is CARBONATED, how nice was that! If you like to people watch, you can sit at the front bar to watch the strollers on West Broadway. Big negative for me - they kept the door opened in the back although the draft really left an uneasy feeling in my body.. BBRBRRRRRR read more

Elysian Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Had a latte. Foam was velvety micro good, as one should be. The house roast, smooth and medium. It was good. Not THE best I've had. The best puts you around the vicinity of Tacoma and Olympia Washington and thereabouts. ;-) The place was cute. Wood, glass, leather, metal...Clean, plain, modern and had large booths with squishy seating next to soaring glass windows. Very nice and atypical as far as coffee shops go. My faves usually border on grunge, but this place had external class. I perused their displayed coffee extracting machines/tools. Some I hadn't seen before. I want them. Upon heading for the door with my tincture, I narrowly avoided a collision due to a sudden and strange high five between the barista and a male guest who appeared to be interested in something she had to offer, other than coffee...Thought it was a quick high-five, but it morphed into a hand hold, high in the sky, with their eyes softening toward one another..! London bridge didn't fall down on me and my latte, but it sure was awkward brushing past their outstretched arms. I'll go back...tomorrow, and grab a coffee...I'm going to be brave, and go for a croissant or some other such dainty as they offer, and get a cappucino this time, and shakily hand them my "Canadian money" I feel strange about using, like I'm going to mess up and humiliate myself. ((unreasonable fear to deal with)) I mean, they call everything the same thing here! Shekels, rupies, yen? That's what I should be afraid of....geez. I may fondle the coffee makers again. I may even bring a book and sit in the booth while sipping and smacking away. Take THAT, fear of Canadian money!!! Oh, after paying, I dropped a quarter in the tip jar, and the barista let out an audible "thank you"...I don't get that back in the states. I'm gonna try again tomorrow and see if it happens again... read more

My go to coffee house on Broadway. They make a decent cappuccino. I would prefer a bit stronger espresso, but it's pretty good. They also carry a variety of baked goods, all made in house.

Ambiance-wise, Elysian feels more like a bar/lounge than a cafe. It's sleek and hip, and also busy and noisy. Not the kind of place where you can readily relax and get some reading or work done, but a good place if you want to do a little people watching, either inside or out. I wasn't as impressed by the coffee as others have been. I ordered a decaf Americano (slightly pricey at $2.75 for an 8-oz cup), and found that it had an unpleasant aftertaste. Perhaps the regular Americano is smoother; I'll try it next time... read more

I spent many, many unrushed afternoons at Elysian sipping their clover brewed coffee during the last year I lived in Vancouver. My preference is always black filter coffee, but occasionally I had an iced americano & once a mocha, both were equally delicious. They have a selection of tempting baked goods made on site, their banana bread is deliciously moist & was always hard for me to pass up. Service was consistently friendly & they offer carbonated water on tap, which I liked a lot while drinking their coffee. They also shelve a really good variety of coffee paraphernalia which would satisfy any coffee geek in search of making quality coffee & appreciating its process. Don't miss their quiet patio outside on warm days. read more

I love coffee shops. Elysian is an interesting, hip cafe in the Fairview area. It reminds me a lot of Portland with all the prices in increments of 25 cents and the laidback, relaxed feeling with attention to detail taken when it comes to coffee brewing. Despite being full from lunch, I was tempted by the delicious looking double chocolate cookie in the bakery window and it did not disappoint. It was moist, sweet, and crisp on the edges. My drink of choice, a cafe mocha, was quite good and one of the better ones I've had in the city (and I've had a lot of them from everywhere). It had a nice balance of coffee and chocolate. Elysian is a cool coffee shop for a brewed beverage and I can see why it gets packed with students studying in the afternoon. Its clean, open space is very appealing in addition to the quality coffee and snacks. read more

Coffee is very good. The atmosphere is very pleasant. This is a hipster, soup nazi-ish kind of place. I take my coffee straight up with milk, but family member wanted vanilla syrup in his americano.

Elysian Coffee - Perfect latte, delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I tried this cafe upon recommendation from a fellow yelper. I must say this coffeshop is not bad at all. I mentioned to the barrista that this is my first time in the cafe and she was willing to make suggestions based on how I take my coffee. I like my coffee with milk no sugar so we went for a latte. The latte is foamy just as it should be. It's not as strong as I'm used to. Since it was almost noontime I decided to order Turkey Croissant. The croissant is buttery and comes with a 2-yr old cheddar cheese. I must say I would come back just for the Turkey Croissant. The people who work here seems to enjoy what they're doing. The barristas are first name basis with the regulars. I think that's cool. read more
