What an amazing find! Staff is so friendly and helpful! There are two adjoining shops: a coffee and pastry shop and a sandwich shop. The drink menu is huge! Their iced flavored tea was mild and flavorful. The chocolate lattes were delicious with artwork of a heart on top. Now to the sandwiches! Three of us had the salmon focaccia. It had avacado cucumber red onion and lots of smoked salmon. It was topped with pickled capers all an amazing combination. The croissant was creamy and yummy! Loved this place and wish we could go back. Now on to the rest of our travels. read more

Cute cafe in the heart of Vancouver downtown with lots of drinks and snacks option. I personally am fond of cube croissants so decided to try this cafe. I selected pistachio cube croissant as it's one of their famous things. At first I asked them to heat a bit which made it burn and they were happy to replace. Service is nice and staff is friendly. It was good in taste but I had bit more expectations from it. I also tried mango smoothie which was not that good as compared to the croissant. read more

Coffee was good, but pastries were average (and very pricey). Got the cold brew iced tea (10/10), hot Canadian maple latte (9/10), and 2 of the pistachio cream square croissant (7/10). The drinks weren't overly sweet and had great flavor. The pastries were bland a bit dry. Would come back for coffee, but get breakfast somewhere else. read more

Guffo cafe offer very good coffee and tea items and middle eastern inspired baking goods. I have visited here several times and always liked their matcha item. This time, I tried Coconuts peach matcha(iced). Barista poured matcha into the clear coconut peach drink. It was beautiful presentation. Too bad, I couldn't take video. Drink had strong matcha flavor, I can tell they used generous amount. I really liked their Matcha drink. Not too sweet. I will revisit to get another item, can't wait read more

This coffee shop was phenomenal! I loved that it's locally owned, and the maple latte was absolutely delicious. I ended up going back twice because the vibe is so welcoming, the drinks are yummy, and the pastries are fantastic. It's also conveniently located near the convention center, which is a huge plus. Definitely worth a visit! read more

We came here early. The coffee and pastries were delicious. We're satisfied. The shop is small and easy to fill up. read more

This is such a cozy and homey cafe downtown. It's kind of a hidden gem. Their decaf oat latte is the best I've had (I liked it better than Starbucks, JJ, Parallel 49, and Pallet). The tables are cute and spread out enough even though it's a small space. The staff was friendly and warm. My friend and I sat and chatted for a while and felt very comfortable there. I would go again. What a lovely place! read more

We had breakfast here while visiting Vancouver. The croissants are Instagram worthy, but actually tasted really good too. My espresso was lovely, and they gave us samples of an iced tea that I had to get to go after we ate. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Stopped for coffee before catching a flight. Quick friendly service, coffee and was delicious. Cute little shop if you are in downtown Vancouver. Loved my maple latte! Thank you for making my birthday special! read more

I came here, which was close to my place of stay and had good reviews. The warm atmosphere and kind response made me feel comfortable. I asked the staff a lot of questions and ordered Canadian Maple Latte and Ham and cheese egg croissant. I liked the maple syrup latte because it wasn't too sweet. And most of all, I love the Guffo Mug Cup！！！Around 9 am, the store was full of people. I hope you all have a good morning. read more

walking around downtown, i did a quick google search for matcha lattes near me and guffo cafe came up. i'd never heard of it before, so curiosity won and i made my way over to 331 howe to check it out. the café is tucked close to the waterfront station, great location for cruise ship tourists, and a convenient stop if you're wandering the area or working nearby. inside, the vibe is casual, anchored by a long communal table, the kind of setup that makes it easy for solo guests to tuck in with a book or laptop, while still leaving space for small groups to gather. it feels functional yet warm, a spot that works equally well for a quick grab and go or a slower afternoon break. i ordered the iced matcha london fog latte with oat milk, which immediately caught my eye as something a little different. the drink arrived pale green with a light froth on top. flavour wise, it was a thoughtful pairing: grassy matcha layered with the floral, bergamot undertone of a london fog. the oat milk rounded it all out, smoothing the sharper edges and giving it a velvety body without heaviness. refreshing, mellow, and layered, it felt like a bridge between the bright energy of matcha and the cozy softness of earl grey tea. the barista was genuinely friendly, welcoming in a way that made the small space feel approachable rather than institutional. it's those little touches that often tip a visit from ordinary to memorable. beyond drinks, they also offer breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and even local art for sale. there's a canadian flag hung proudly above the front entrance and a full length mirror inside, a fun, practical detail for those last minute outfit checks. overall, guffo cafe feels like one of those downtown gems you stumble across when you least expect it. low key, convenient, and offering drinks that step just a little outside the ordinary, it's worth a stop if you're in the area, especially if you're in the mood for something that blends the familiar with the unexpected. read more

Near Fairmont Waterfront Stopped in for our first snack break after checking into the Fairmont Waterfront--just around the corner and perfectly timed. The Spanish latte (condensed milk latte) was the standout. Smooth, comforting, and oddly transportive--it genuinely brought us back to cafés in Europe. Rich without being heavy, and very well balanced. The pistachio croissant, unfortunately, didn't hit the same note. The flavor was there, but it didn't feel freshly baked and came across a bit dull compared to the quality of the drink. The space itself is small but warm, with a cozy, welcoming feel. The green owl logo and typography add a charming, memorable touch. A great stop for coffee, and I'd happily return for another Spanish latte--hoping to catch the pastries fresher next time. read more

Love this place! Had a maple latte each day of my visit in Vancouver and it was excellent. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

It's highly rated and it's close to waterfront Skytrain station. My friend got a flat white and I tried a cup of mango matcha oat latte. Both beverages were good. The mango flavoured matcha oat latte tasted very unique. The paper cups had a very unique design. They were very cute. Customer service was good. It's a cafe or coffee shop with pastries like others. The space has some high tables and chairs. It was kind packed but totally understood that it is in a downtown location. The bigger it is the higher lease it is. I would recommend others to try this coffee shop if they are in downtown/Canada Place or close to Waterfront Skytrain station. read more

this is the kind of place i'd be a regular at if i were a local. wifi, great drinks, insane pastry choices, nice location (close by to public transit routes) and easily walkable if you're in the vicinity of canada place. friendly service and some seating at either small cafe tables or shared large wooden table at entrance. they have an electronic key hanging on a hook near where orders are placed to use to access bathroom down the hall from the back of the shop. what was not to love? read more

Guffo cafe - pistacho cream square croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A delicious way to start my day of travel and end a weekend of really good eats! Ordered an Americano misto that was piping hot and smooth. The also had the traditional espresso drinks, teas, iced, and fruity non-caff options. Prices topped out at $8 for the largest sizes. They had a small selection of pastries -- croissants in the normal shape and other fun ones that were square (cream-filled) or spiral (Nutella) and dipped in chocolate and chopped pistachio. Loved the updated old world charm and my big tasty coffee served up in a cute, kitschy mug. Convenient to transit. read more

Guffo cafe - Coconut energy ball and 12 oz Americano misto - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Welcoming people offering their bakes and brew. I ordered their pistachios croissant and loved it. They were packed on an early morning of a Sunday. The person on the desk was patient and welcoming everyone with a taster of a tea. I spent about 12 bucks after a tip on a croissant though. I might not order it everyday from here, but once in a while treats are surely welcomed and would recommend them if you are nearby. read more

Needed a quick breakfast to go and this place was nearby. Clean location, friendly staff, and a wide variety of coffee beverages to choose from. We got a few breakfast sandwiches, and a slice of banana bread. We had to wait while they heated up the ready made sandwiches. No changes can be made to the sandwiches since they were premade, and there was no offer to make a fresh one (I wanted to omit It was nice they gave us a complimentary oatmeal cookie for the wait. The food was decent. read more

Go to Guffo! We had a delicious croissant with ham, cheese, and egg salad. Pistachio pastry and great coffee. Small business owned by good people. read more

Not very impressive. The store is super small. Felt bad for the people eating and drinking inside. Lineup was basically in their laps. Staff were not concerned at all about service. Slow and no customer service. Food items came up and they just left it at the counter. I wouldn't go again unless it was completely empty and I had 20 mins to burn ordering a single coffee. read more

Great coffee! Darling place, super comfortable stools(!!), very nice service. Beautiful ceramic cups. The only reason it doesn't get 5 is the pastries. They look great, but don't be fooled! They are stale and NOT delicious! The sandwich was very good. Skip the sale croissants read more

Fantastic drinks and food! I was in the area for the cruise terminal and stopped in for a quick breakfast. I was blown away by how good the drinks were and the ham and cheese croissant was perfectly flaky. They had a sample of their tropical cold brew tea which was so good I bought one to go so I could drink it while I was in line. I highly recommend this place for fast service and delicious breakfast read more

Great cafe, coffee, and service! Quick walk from Canada Place. The staff was friendly.

Such a sweet local spot! Welcoming you with a cup of their speciality teas, you're instantly interested in taking a second look at the full menu. Staff were so kind and happy to spice up the drinks to taste. I went with the maple latte and london fog, with a pistachio croissant square on the side. read more

Small cafe, a little inconspicuous, but very cozy and well-kept. I love how it feels like you're inside a little secret room. The barista was very nice. I got an ultimate veggie sandwich, a pistachio cube croissant, and a cortadito. The sandwich was very tasty (I loved the tangy dressing), but it seemed like it was conceived by a meat-eater who doesn't know what vegetarians eat, by which I mean it was mostly loaded with a lot of light vegetables and ultimately didn't have much satiating power despite the actual size of the sandwich being fine. Something like hummus, a second slice of cheese to make it a melt, or a "heavier" vegetable like squash or eggplant would have filled it out. The cube croissant and cortadito were perfection though. I really appreciated that the croissant wasn't the kind that left my hands buttery and didn't crumble when I took a bite, but the layers were tender and soft, and the dough wasn't sweet which allowed the pistachio filling and dark chocolate shell to shine. The espresso in the cortadito seemed to have a lot of natural sweetness, it was very pleasant. I wouldn't go back for lunch just because there's not a big selection and I felt like I paid too much for a sandwich that did not fill me up, so I'm okay with it being a one-and-done stop for me, but it was worth the visit. If you eat meat, their other sandwiches are probably great - or if you're vegetarian and just not very hungry, you might like their veggie sandwich. read more

The coffee here was pretty decent, but pastry was quite pricy (6 bucks for a crossiant?).

Delicious cortado and croissant Highly recommend supporting and frequenting this lovely small business cafe.

Amazing experience here. When we first walked in we were greeting with a nice smile. He was the only person working on the floor and it was very busy and everything came out very fast. He was very attentive and very sweet, all of the coffee and food was great!!!!! We got free samples that were great and the environment is cozy and pretty. His name was milad!!!! read more

I wanted to like it more because it is a small, local place and the staff was lovely but the croissants we had (two of us had the square pistachio, two of us the chocolate) were hard and stale. My oldest child and I thought the coffee was okay. My other daughter barely drank hers. Maybe we came on a bad day but we aren't likely to return if we're are back in the area read more

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a welcoming smile. Everything we tried was top-notch. The place is also really beautifully designed. It's small and cozy but very comfortable. Already making plans to return. I read a comment somewhere complaining that the menu is expensive. We're out of town visitors, and I can attest this place is a lot less expensive than what we would have paid for similar items at home. The price is fair. read more
