Gluten free review: Terrain Coffee is a nice place to sit and actually have a quick, Fun, get together, which already earns points. The atmosphere is pleasant, the service was kind, and the coffee was strong. Like, definitely awake now strong, at least for me. That said, if you're gluten-free, this is a "coffee and vibes only" situation. There were zero gluten-free food options, which is why this stays at three stars. I'm grateful for a solid cup of joe, but gluten-free snacks have feelings too. Good spot for chatting, caffeinating, and wishing for a gluten-free pastry. read more

I just stopped in to buy beans, so perhaps didn't get the full coffee experience you do when you order a coffee drink. Both of the people behind the counter were very helpful and guided me to get the least acidic beans they have. When you buy beans you also get a free drip coffee, which is nice. So kudos for the service! They are now open till 5 which is better for people who want to stop by after work. I came by 3 months ago after work to buy beans and they were closed so I appreciate that! read more

One of the best oat milk lattes I've ever had!! Such delicious coffee here, I'm so glad this place is local to my friends apartment because I will definitely be coming here each time I visit Portland. Their matcha latte was also delicious and perfectly sweet! Both drinks here were standouts, can't wait to come back and try more. read more

I came in here the other day to schoolwork, the workers were friendly and my burrito was great. My matcha was good, but I didn't think it was fantastic. I would go again, and maybe order a coffee next time. read more

Terrain is my new coffee shop of choice in Vancouver! I have passed by so many times and am regretting not coming in before now. The interior has a cool vintage feel, with the old safe door behind the counter. The service is great and our order was submitted fast. It was only a minute and our coffees were done. My latte was one of the best I have ever had. It was smooth and the flavor was spot on delicious!!! The coffee was so good, I swung back later in the morning to try a spiced cider... whoa! It had a nice kick to it! Perfect for the cold gloomy days in the area. Awesome service, awesome location, awesome coffee! I can't wait to get back!!! read more

Terrain Coffee Project - Large Vanilla Latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Stopped by Terrain Project in Vancouver and had a great experience. I ordered the avocado toast, and my wife had the granola. Both were very good. The granola is more of a parfait, and while it tasted fresh, we would have liked a little more actual granola in the mix. The avocado toast, though, was off the chain--loaded with microgreens and perfectly ripe avocado. Highly recommended. Their breakfast sandwiches also looked amazing, and I'll be back to try one soon. As for the coffee, I'm pretty picky and would call myself a coffee snob. I'd rate it a solid 8/10, which is excellent for the Vancouver area. Overall, Terrain Project delivers fresh flavors, great coffee, and a menu worth exploring further. read more

Terrain hasn't closed - just relocated to 212 E Evergreen Blvd (next to Honeycomb!) The new space is much bigger and perfect for enjoying a coffee/tea based drink and enjoying a book or focusing on work. Just be advised that they're closed on Mondays and the new hours are 7AM-2PM on days that they're open. read more

Such a cute coffee cafe. It's caught my attention a few times walking by, but today I decided to stop in. The ambiance is warm and inviting. It is an older building and has a bit of a old warehouse (small) vibe. Old red brick worn walls, paired with the warmth of aged and worn hard wood floors and roll up glass garage doors that allow for beams of sun to come through. I ordered a honey latte, which came served with a heart. Perfectly blended, one of the better honey lattes I've had (which I've been ordering at a variety of coffee shops the last four years). Service is friendly and attentive. There was just one woman working but she immediately ensured she stopped a private conversation she was having when I walked in to ensure I felt important. Shortly after a small crowd came in. She welcomed everyone, acknowledged and let them know she would be right with them. She handled the pace with grace and calm. I enjoyed that! I guess my only regret is not to have stopped in sooner and try this cafe out. I will be back! Thanks for creating a calm atmosphere and a delicious coffee drink! read more

Lovely apple turnover, though they didn't heat it up. Nice tasting beans and foam art to boot! I wish they had more than just one sugar free flavor (brown sugar cinnamon), but at least it's the Torani brand, not a cheap knock off. The comfortable chairs are facing the wall or the two at the coffee table ( 8 comfy chairs total). The other (26)hard chairs are armless, which helps those of us with wider hips. There is also a wooden bench at one table. Friendly service, eager to please, quite pleasant. Lots of WiFi users on a Saturday afternoon. Parking may be a bit of a problem, and you may have to circle the block to find a space. Parking Kitty app is available to pay for parking on weekdays. The restaurant is sunk below ground level, making it fun to watch the passerby on the sidewalk downtown. A ramp provides handicap access, although the placement of tables does not allow for a clear path to the register if you have a wheelchair or scooter. read more

Stick with the coffee and skip the pastries... coffee is excellent but the baked goods seem to be on the day old level. Service is good and the little space is good for a quick conversation and good coffee read more

Great coffee company on 6th in downtown Vancouver. They are involved in the community and give back frequently. Coffee is fantastic and flavorful! Give them a go, you win't be disappointed! read more

I was here on a Saturday afternoon about 1.5 hrs before they close. They do close earlier but the employees were very nice. There's a large bench table for bigger bigger groups and several smaller tables. Lots of outlets near the wall which is great if you're planning on getting some work done. I had their Mitzuka matcha with oatmilk which was good. It wasn't overly sweet, more on the bitter side. I didn't add anything.. so if I was feeling more sweet I may have them add some vanilla syrup. Located in downtown Vancouver, there's just street parking. read more

Terrain Coffee Project - Matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

We came here thinking we would get a treat and a coffee - just normal stuff. Let me tell y'all.... This is a 10/5 stars. The staff here is really REALLY good people and the coffee was incredible. We had a pistachio latte which is probably the best thing to ever exist. While we were there, they had a few people come in off the street who didn't have any cash for their coffees. The guy working the counter treated them just as if they were any other customers and got them coffees and bagels to sit out of the rain and cold to enjoy. It was nice to see someone show that kind of compassion to another human. Good work guys! read more

Today was my first time ever ordering at Terrain Coffee Project. I'm in the market for an alternative to Starbucks since I've been consistently disappointed in their food and drinks lately. I've been having trouble sleeping lately due to work-related stress, so I didn't get much sleep last night before my 12 hour shift today. Not fun. I was very demonstratively grumpy when I called Terrain Coffee Project, but the barista who answered was so kind and nice and polite and patient with me. He took my order and didn't get snippy with me for being in a bad mood that had absolutely nothing to do with him as a person and everything to do with my situation that he knows nothing about except what I chose to share with him over the phone while ordering an iced mocha from him in their largest size (16 oz) He even walked the coffee up to me, he even crossed the street to hand it to me. I got really lucky with the barista who just happened to pick up the phone and be the one who made my order. He was really nice and kind. I told my mother about it and she said I better leave him a nice yelp review, so I'm doing that here right now before I forget cuz I'm a pretty forgetful guy right now. Thank you, nice Terrain Coffee Project barista/employee! I put Terrain Coffee Project phone number and address in my phone so it's easy to remember and find for next time. Mom and I shop and hit the library and hang out in that part of downtown Vancouver all the time, so you'll be seeing me again. Plus, I work on Hayden Island in Portland, JUST over the bridge, so, again, I'm super close by and in that neighborhood/area all the time read more

Just discovered this shop tucked between a couple of other places downtown Vancouver. It may become my new favorite. The place is cozy but has plenty of seating to hang out. The gentlemen who helped me was very friendly and welcoming, not sure if he is the owner or not. Anyways, I got the ginger snap latte, and it had fresh orange peel as a garnish. One of the best lattes I have had in awhile. I do not like sweet drinks and this had a great balance of flavor and coffee. I would highly recommended! read more

Definitely my new favorite coffee place. The barista was welcoming, the coffee delicious and the pastries - OMG! So good! Lovely spot and not hard to get a parking spot during the week. read more

Barista, Josiah was super friendly and knowledgeable. The historical building used to be a carriage house! So cool!

Best coffee in Vancouver. Tasty crafted coffee, friendly staff, and is located in the heart of downtown...my go to before the farmers market. Enjoy! read more

Beautiful coffee shop filled with nice plants and good vibes. Very nice staff and seems like a good place to go do work. In the heart of downtown Vancouver so great for a Sunday afternoon coffee before checking out the area. Only critic is I could see this place filling up fast as there is not a ton of seating. read more

In the heart of downtown Vancouver, you'll find this quaint little cafe serving up the classics and a few rotating seasonal specials. The interior is bright lively and feature the timeless exposed brick, classic to the aged building. My wife ordered a Chai, and I ordered the Nitro Rapid Chill. The Chai had a good spice but was not very sweet. If you like it sweeter, you might like to try another drink. Unfamiliar with, I asked about the Nitro Rapid Chill. It is hot brewed coffee that is rapidly chilled and then infused with nitro (they bottle it in the summer). I'm used to cold brew, so I gave it a shot. It was good, a little more bitter than cold brew, but my half and half mellowed it out. They guy working there was super friendly. I'm not sure if he was the owner, but he definitely created a warm and inviting first experience for us both. read more

Very below average coffee shop in downtown Vancouver, and the service was not good at all. My girlfriend and I walked in here on a early Friday afternoon since the coffee spot across the street was too busy with no place to sit and wanted to try it. BUT trust me, I'd recommend going to that other coffee spot and waiting for them based on the experience we had here at this location. We went to order and it was only one person working which was fine, but it took forever to even place our order. He had the iPad up front and the group of people in front of us ordered off of it. So, when it was finally our turn to order, we used the iPad and the person working didn't even say a word to us, ask us for our order, or if we even needed help as well. So, we went ahead and placed our 2 drink orders and a dessert and paid and sat down at the table. After about 5 min, the person working came to the front by the iPad and said, "did you guys place the order here?" We said yes, then he went on to add, "oh, well we are out of the cinnamon roll you wanted." Then we said, "okay no worries, what other pastries do you have?" Then he replied and said, "none." And so he just reimbursed us for the desert we never received. We thought his responses to us were just weird and rude. After waiting close to another 10 min or so, I received my nitro brewed coffee and my girlfriend was still waiting on hers. Then after 5 more min, he walked over with her Matcha Drink and said, "Here's your Matcha Drink. And also next time, please don't order off the iPad since we need to verify the check outs and make sure it's all good. I'm just letting you both know for future reference since you can't do that." Immediately we both looked at one another and were confused and didn't appreciate his tone he had with us. He NEVER asked for our order after waiting and decided to order since the iPad was in front of us open and we didn't have time to wait any longer and I actually had a job interview to get too as well. It was just very odd and weird how he spoke to us and quite frankly, not professional or nice at all. He could have expressed the way he felt in a more professional manner. As far as the drinks go, they were NOT good at all either. The Nitro Cold Brew did not have a taste at all and was lukewarm, and the Matcha Drink was overall not good as well. Overall, the most ironic part of this is how he mentioned, "for future reference" for when we come back and how to order drinks and quite frankly, with the service we received, the low quality of coffee, and the experience in general on a Friday afternoon, we will NOT be coming back here going forward - so he wasted his time making those remarks to us. Like I said earlier, I'd highly recommend any another coffee spot in the downtown Vancouver area! read more

Great coffee, nice staff, chill ambiance. I normally take my drink to-go but the area is nice and inside is clean and quiet.

Delicious oat milk latte that wasn't syrup-heavy like a lot of cafes. The man got a cortado with vanilla, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We split the lemon earl grey cookie, which was heavenly and the perfect complement to our coffees. We'll absolutely be going back! read more

The best coffee in Vancouver thus far. They truly are presenting great espresso style coffee quality with some fantastically flavorful blends. If you love your espresso and are a coffee connoisseur please be sure to visit. I've come here multiple times and each time they are on point. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots to bring friends visiting! The pistachio latte I had here while initially stopping my first time visiting before moving here was the nail in the decision making coffin that we indeed wanted to live in Vancouver verses living in PDX. The employee who was working the counter showed so much kindness to a man who didn't have enough money for a cup of coffee. That empathy will go a long way! Thanks for being a great part of the Vancouver community read more

Visited for the first time today. The manager (assuming so, as he was a bit bossy to the 2nd employee), complained about how customers put dirty spoons in the clean spoons, so he no longer puts out spoons (nor stirrers). I asked if I could combine tables for a group of 8 and he had lots of particulars, but didn't offer to help even though I was the only customer at that time - the other two people were sitting quietly aside, already served and working. I got a dirty chai, which tasted like a big cup of strong cardamom, so I also ordered a drip coffee to put some spoonfulls of the dirty chain in as to not waste and not make a big deal out of it. I ended up tossing the cardamom drink and just stuck with the drip coffee. I was told there were free refills of, so when I went for one (you have to wait in line, it is not self-serve), they were all out and I was told I would be brought my coffee once they made a new pot (guess they don't brew backups to fulfill unlimited refills efficiently). About a half hour later, I heard them hollering, so I snagged my coffee. The jalapeno cheese bagel toasted with cream cheese that I got was barely warm and not toasted and had a thin smear on it like it was butter. I ate half, then tossed the rest, now completely hard and cold. It would be nice if the manager was type A about the things that matter, like good drinks, toasting toasted bagels, and maybe nice and friendly service. Definitely never going back. read more

I loved everything about this place. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by smiles and welcoming atmosphere. the beverages are crafted beautifully and tasted amazing. The pastries were the perfect compliment. NOT TO MENTION- they have a giant table that was great for our whole family to sit and play a game while the parents got to enjoy their bevs! Thank you read more

I have enjoyed each cup of coffee I have had here. Good vibe and welcoming atmosphere. I appreciate their love for coffee and it shows.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and am very glad I stopped by here for breakfast and a coffee. I had the salt and herb bagel with schmear and it was delicious. Very east coast style bagel. I also had the honey latter and it was perfect. Will definitely come again next time I'm in town! read more

I really enjoy it here, having swung through to work on my computer on my first day in town and been coming back semi-regularly ever since. They have really good espresso drinks, along with drip coffee and a bunch of non-coffee beverages that also sound great. I think I've gotten cappuccinos from four or five different baristas now and it's quality no matter who does the prep. Staff is extremely pleasant and helpful as well which makes it a really nice experience regardless of whether you're working remote or socializing. They also sell their beans and have a small but great food menu, and have some really nice merch and home coffee gear too. It's basically everything I want from a local cafe. read more

Looks like just another coffee shop from the outside, but this place is different. They only use the highest quality ingredients in their drinks. From the imported single origin beans to the Mizuba matcha, their stuff is premium. Even their pastries are from the Baron Patisserie. You gotta deal with the hipsters and yuppies but the coffee is legit. Trust me, I've had straight black coffee from just about everywhere. read more

Fantastic coffee. I got a red eye, talked about Miyazaki films while I waited, and had a good time. Coffee was delicious and berry forward. The funfetti cookie, though, is the surprise star. The sprinkles, purple color and the hidden cornmeal makes this a killer sweet treat. Crunchy cornmeal made this the fave of myself and my kids (went back for another amd they'd already sold out! Fantastic spot! read more

Great coffee! (I got a vanilla latte with oat milk). Perfect amount of sweetness without being overpowering so you could still taste the coffee). Dare I say maybe my new favorite coffee spot in Vancouver! Friendly staff and very inviting and cute ambiance. The doors roll up so you can get fresh air in the summer and Parking was pretty easy to find read more

Stopped in here after getting pizza next door at Nonavo. Got a cup of filter coffee, which was delightful. The baristas were super friendly and the coffee very good.

I will revise this review if I should go back. But let me start with the "spicy chai". I flew the quotes because the lose interpretation of spicy. My children say something is spicy, but it doesn't mean what we think it does. Anyways, I would hope that if asking for a spicy chai I would get something at least as "spicy" as tazo boxed chai? Maybe. Maybe I do. So the chai was some weaksauce iced milk disaster that I poured into my tea later that morning just to salvage it. Waste not. I also ordered the cherry danish something. I mean I know the kid doesn't make this in the back, I get that he's got a guy that drops off to the coffees in the area. But maybe this was dropped off a day or 2? Ago. So yea, 10 bucks for 2-fisted disappointment. I will pass this place Every Single Day on my way to the office and decide if this is the day I'm willing to be let down like this again. read more

Great coffee & even better barista! So happy to have Terrain in my new neighborhood! Also the bagels are to die for.
