Coffee shops in Point Grey

In a coffee-loving city like Vancouver, there’s never a shortage of options when you need a caffeine fix. If you find yourself on the west side of town, hit up these local neighbourhood coffee shops for a quality cup of joe (and maybe a pastry or two!).

Caffe W

1
3646 Broadway W, Vancouver, BC V6R 2B7

This newer gem is slightly hidden, but is certainly worth seeking out. An abundance of seating and wall outlets for your electronics, along with solid 49th Parallel coffee served in mason jars, make it a staple for nearby UBC students looking for a paper-writing haven. The easygoing, friendly staff create an environment of welcome where you won’t feel hurried to leave.

Beyond Bread Ltd

3686 4th Ave W, Vancouver, BC V6R 1P1

A quiet and comfy atmosphere makes Beyond Bread the ideal place to go on a rainy day. Enjoy soup and sandwiches (on freshly baked bread!) along with your afternoon coffee while sitting at one of the communal wooden tables, or cozy up on a sofa with your favourite book and watch the day pass by. I love spending quiet weekend mornings here before the rest of the world wakes up.

Bean Around The World Coffee

4456 10th Avenue W, Vancouver, BC V6R 2H9

Looking for a neighbourhood spot to frequent? Look no further than Bean Around The World: the baristas clearly have relationships with their clients, and there’s a familiarity and welcoming feel for anyone who sets foot into the café. With impressive lunch options and a variety of coffee beans available for purchase, it’s no wonder so many Point Grey residents keep coming back.

MIX The Bakery

4430 10th Ave W, Vancouver, BC V6R 2H9

If you’re searching for freshly baked goods, MIX Bakery is definitely not to be missed. This Point Grey mainstay makes all of their pastries, cakes and bread in store, and do they ever do it well. Pick up a loaf of ciabatta along with your morning coffee, and be sure to sneak in an order of their incredible cookies while you’re at it!

Grounds For Coffee Inc

5
2565 Alma St, Vancouver, BC V6R 3R8

Grounds for Coffee has been around for more than 20 years, and for good reason: sweet-toothed patrons rejoice at this unassuming coffee shop that serves the best cinnamon buns in town. Located at the busy West 10th and Alma intersection in Point Grey, it’s worth making a pit-stop for if you’re on the 99 B-Line, which stops right in front of the shop. Take my word for it: you won’t regret it.

The Boulevard Coffee Roasting Co

6
5970 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3

Minimal decor, a lively vibe, and unique coffee options make this open concept café a UBC staple. Try their well-loved Vietnamese latte if you’re feeling indulgent, or stick with a simpler option and take a pick from their solid coffee selection. Boulevard is great place to study if you’re looking for a bit of camaraderie with the local students working away.

When you’re in the mood for comfort food, few things satisfy as much as a piping hot bowl of noodles. Whether you’re looking for homemade broth that’s been boiled for hours, rich toppings cooked to perfection, or just simple, carb goodness, here are a few Vancouver noodle houses serving up hearty meals that you’ll slurp ’till the bottom of the bowl.
You know how good it feels after a workout? Endorphins kick in and your energy is high; it’s a great place to be, so the last thing you want to do is to ruin that feeling with the wrong post-exercise meal. With that being said, here are some Vancouver spots for a wholesome bite when you want to refuel without negating all that hard work you just put in at the gym.
For some of us, every new season means a closet update or two (or three or four!). And while the shopping process is fun, it can sometimes be a strain on the pocketbook. Enter the consignment store: whether it’s due to financial restrictions or personal views, these beautifully curated second-hand shops make it easy for fashion lovers looking to update their wardrobe on a budget.
