My Go To Coffee Spots

If you’re anything like me, a great coffee shop isn’t just about the coffee—it’s about the vibe, the people, and having a place you actually want to linger.

These are some of my go-to spots in around Vancouver that I keep coming back to:

Di Tazza Coffee House– A longtime local favorite with a cozy, welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place you can settle into for a while—great drinks, friendly faces, and consistently good coffee.
River Maiden- This one is such a gem—beautiful, calming space with thoughtfully crafted drinks and food. It is also a plant lovers dream!
Hidden River Roasters- My go to Camas stop! I also love all the creative things they do for First Fridays!
Lava Java- This is for the true coffee snob! The setting is simple and the drinks are just amazing.
Gold Cup Coffee House- A solid neighborhood spot with great coffee and a relaxed feel. Easy to pop into and always reliable.
Cariño Coffee House- This one feels special. It’s a Mexican specialty coffee shop, so you’ll find drinks you don’t see everywhere—and the whole space is rooted in culture and community. Definitely worth trying something new here.

There is just something about a great local coffee shop that makes a neighborhood feel even more special. I love having a list of spots like this to rotate through depending on the day—whether I need a quick pick-me-up, a place to catch up with a friend, or a cozy corner to get a little work done.

And if you have a favorite I need to try, please send it my way—I’m always looking for my next go-to ☕
