This was one of the best coffee spots I've tried in a while! I went OUTTTTT of my way for this place, but it's been on my list for a while! It's a wholesome, local spot, for locals! Dog and people friendly. That Sammie was soooo good, and made fresh! The ham is made in house (oven and everything) and slice by them! I mean idk who does this, but I was there for it! The coffee, I can still taste it, but the main manager, wow, he was sooo amazing! Best personality ever! He was open, kind, friendly and super apologetic! I'll be back around the Fourth of July, this is my new local spot!
Their partnership with Dos Hermanos gives 'em huge props. I love that ham, cheese, jalapeño, with a hint of sweetness, pastry. The "soup bowl" sized coffee mugs are a big hit, but I'm not particularly a fan. That said, the cappuccino in an appropriate-sized cup was good. Service was friendly albeit somewhat slow. Inside vibe is welcoming and charming, but outside not so much.
Coffee here is great, but I feel like it ran a little watery.I ordered the oat Milk latte and I can taste the coffee in my cup, and it's so delicious. I would recommend anyone to come here. I came on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pleasantly quiet and comfortable. I very much enjoyed myself; I bought some beans to share it with my family back home. Parking is small, however during the time I came, it was easy to find parking.
Wanted to try a new coffee spot and this is one of more popular ones in the area. It had parking in front which is nice and was decorated really cute and all of the people were super nice. Seems like a cute and night place to do some work or chat. The iced vanilla latte was really sweet for me and I didn't drink very much of it, id give the place another try tho for a diff drink or maybe just ask for less sweet.
The Great North has become one of our go-to coffee shops in Vancouver, WA. We drive over from East Vancouver regularly for the ambiance, pastries, and coffee. Delicious pastries (several gluten free & vegan options available), food menu, and coffee! Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Clean environment and friendly staff. Music is typically feel-good oldies for a nostalgic and welcoming vibe. Vancouver needs more coffee shops with personality like The Great North!
What a special coffee place! It is hidden in a small shopping center and easy to miss if you haven't heard of it before. I was told about this place by a friend and was not disappointed! I got an oat milk dulce de leche latte which was creamy and delicious. I always get half sweet because I like to still taste that coffee - and they knocked this one out of there park. Super tasty coffee and creamy oat milk. I also got the ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich which was to die for!!! Sooo tasty. Warm and crispy English muffin with a flavorful pesto on top. Definitely try this if you end up visiting. Good atmosphere and environment :) highly recommend trying this spot.
Cozy third wave with good coffee and great pastry options (vegan and gluten free)! A bit out of the way to get to but always quiet, a great place to get some remote work done or meet a friend. I love the chai and americanos here. my only note is that the decaf espresso comes out pretty sour here so I would probably stick to normal espresso.
What a cute little coffee shop, tucked in an unlikely tiny corner shopping center. I've driven by this place many times and never noticed it, so thank you Yelp for bringing it to my attention! The barista was very nice and had my latte ready in a flash. I enjoyed my beverage there and I appreciated the hip, fun and inviting decor along with some excellent tunes playing in the background. They have a good amount of seating both inside and outside, though outside is in the parking lot, so maybe not such an ideal patio situation, but I appreciated they had that option. They have some food options as well, including breakfast-type sammies, but I was just there for an afternoon coffee and didn't try the food. My latte was very good, and I tried it with their honey-ginger syrup, which which added just a touch of sweetness and a bit of spice, but not too strong. My only disappointment was the latte was just warm and not hot. I think perhaps heating up the mugs with some hot water first would be nice, but this is a common issue at most coffee shops I've visited where I have my beverage there. Next time I will try asking for it extra-hot and see how that goes.
I went pretty early and there was one customer there but the place is very cute inside and has a nice feel to it. I got the cardigan latte iced and the Olympia breakfast sandwich came out to 16.55. Before tip. Both things were very tasty and I will definitely be going back
This has been one of my favorite spots in Vancouver for a while now. I stopped coming after getting kicked out for not wearing a mask during Covid lol sometimes we get it wrong, but their coffee is always right. Perfect traditional 6oz cappuccino and always delicious house flavors.

Coffee place that has later hours which is awesome. Place is located in a small strip with parking. Has a bar counter area, tables inside and out. Decor is minimalist but very nice. Great ambiance to drink and/or work. We ordered a Matcha Latte, Cortado and a Cappuccino. Excelent coffee and Matcha quality used. They have a lot of gluten free and vegan options for pastries which was excellent for us. We did order a Gluten Free Lemon Loaf and a Danish. Fresh pastries. read more
This is a cool little coffee shop. The staff was super helpful and the coffee was ready pretty fast. There were some great baked goods options too. I had a great oatmilk latte. It was smooth and flavorful. There was a fun event going on with some vendors in the shop too, it made the visit even more fun! Great service, good coffee! read more

Little cafe hidden in Vancouver that focuses on a neighborhood/community vibe. The inside is well decorated on one side (with service counter) and the other (with restroom) was not. There were boxes under the benches on the later. I will say that of the cafes I've visited in Vancouver, this one is my favorite for studying so far. It is not very crowded, and there are large enough tables. Lots of natural light with the windows and music is not too loud. There is free parking and service is fast and friendly as well. Coffee was not bad but nothing particularly special. Would be interested to try their pastries sometime! read more

The Great North becomes our go-to spot whenever we're in Vancouver. We really like their homemade dulce de leche latte with toasted coconut flakes on top, and their cold brew is definitely different and better than other places. read more

The girl working was very overwhelmed with orders and she was working alone. There was a nonstop line. However, she handled it very well. She needs a giant raise! :-) My chai was really good and the place is really cute. I am new to towns and I look forward to nice day bike rides over there. Thank you so much for having vegan options! read more

Great place for working. Good coffee. Friendly baristas. Good music (most of the time). I prefer the slow, indie music to the heavy metal. I enjoy coming here to get some work done! It's generally quiet. Sometimes it gets busy and a bit loud but it dies down eventually. I ordered their ham sandwich once and it was pretty amazing. I really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce in the sandwich, it imparted a very unique, fresh flavor. Nothing bad to say about The Great North. It's a lovely coffee shop! read more

Best breakfast sandwiches! The coffee is also incredible and a fantastic place to work if you're a remote employee looking for a cute spot to park for a few hours. I brought my dog and sat outside with him while we enjoyed a few hours of fresh air, good coffee and a breakfast sandwich (the ham one). They also have yogurt bowls that looked good and I plan to get one of those next time. I do wish they had sugar free syrup so I could get a sugar free latte, but not the biggest deal read more
