    My go to weekend place for a coffee and a donut. This seasonal visit is a cranberry old fashioned.

    The best latte in my life literary. I've never drunk such a great coffee. The staff was also friendly. I highly recommend everyone trying. Thank you!

    Delicious coffee! I tried the maple sea salt latte with oat milk and it was so cozy and flavorful but didn't override the espresso. I also bought a bag of the old school espresso (nuttier, chocolate note) and my friend got the epic espresso, which is what they used for the maple sea salt latte, and the notes are sweet and floral. Street parking only, but there is a lot behind the store with several parking spaces. Definitely returning to try the pastries!

    I really like this place! I love the tables and seats. They are comfortable and conducive for work or relaxation. The sliding doors on the side is open this gorgeous day that goes out to a nice patio. I tried their apple fritter with bacon. I like the caramel outside and the soft texture inside. Came in lunch time there were numerous pastries to choose from. They look fresh. Came back in the afternoon and there was a new batch/kinds to choose from. Place is always clean. The crowd is mixed, combination of students, professionals, young and old. I don't mind driving here from where I live in Richmond because there is free parking on the side streets. You just need to look for a spot as there are lots of cars along the residential area. Along Main St. there are lots of restaurants that may be appealing depending on what you're in the mood for. I highly recommend this place!

    I always love the doughnuts here. Both the "regular" and vegan/gf versions of the cake batter are rich with a texture that almost melts in your mouth. The old fashioneds are messy but worth it. I want to try some bismarcks but they never seem to have them when I'm there in the morning. But they still always have a pretty good assortment when I'm there, with fun seasonal flavours. The coffee and tea are really good too. The ginger chai is one of my favourite chai lattes around with a great spicy depth. The baristas are nice. Lots of seating here, and the building has a nice design and warm, rustic aesthetic.

    Yummy iced donut!

    Glazed ring today, crisp outside, pillow soft inside. Love these donuts as they are not too sweet. Very tasty, on the larger size, and perfect on a summer day...patio seating is the best! Always friendly staff! Clean, great neighborhood spot! Located at 13th and Main. Lots of street parking.

    Apple bacon fritter and mango passion fruit donut. Both so delish!!

    Good coffee and tasty donuts, welcoming service, and lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Ambiance is very laid back with some people doing work on laptops and others chatting and hanging out. We got the apple bacon fritter and mango passion fruit donut with a small coffee and everything was amazing. There's tons of seating indoor with a beautiful patio area with umbrellas and plenty of shade! Def a local favorite now.

    This coffee shop should be called 49th parallel donuts because coffee and donuts are served in equal measure. You will be hard pressed to find non donut savory or sweet options to snack on, but the location and spacious interiors make this shop worth a visit. I will say the donuts do look very tempting, but even Tim Hortons have a good selection of 'other' options. Service was prompt and friendly, Americanos came up quickly, tables were clean and generally tidy. Metal chairs are not very comfy, the country decor is a little log cabinesque, roughing it! We ordered banana bread and savory scone. Scone was large and a little dry, with a spicy kick. The Americano were to my taste quite acidic, not smooth and definitely needing cream and sweetener. Overall the visit was good, no problem to find parking on Main Street or a table to sit inside.

    a variety of pastries on plates

    I enjoyed this spot for their coffee and donuts. This was our first stop in Vancouver and it was a great meal for breakfast. They have a decent amount of seating with a patio included. I got a latte and the Strawberry Rubarb Berliner. The latte was a great hot drink for the rainy morning and the donut was super flavorful and sweet! If you're looking for some coffee and donuts, 49th Parallel is a great place to visit.

    Go to coffee shop in Vancouver. Great selection -- especially seasonal drinks. The donuts are to dieeee for. The French crueller was amazing!! Friendly staff, great location in Mt Pleasant and a great space in a historic building with exposed bricks and wood. The ambiance is perfect for working

    Mango vegan (bottom), fruit and floral old fashioned, rhubarb filled donuts
    Huong L.

    This was part of our donut trail and to be honest I was pretty disappointed. I had really high expectations but it was kinda let down. We got one of each kind of donut, a old fashioned, a Bismarck, and a vegan donut. The old fashioned was probably my favorite - the flavor was pretty good and it was a standard old fashioned. The rhubarb bismarck donuts was good, light and fluffy, the rhubarb filling was more of a jam, so a little thicker than a custard filling im use to but still good. The vegan mango/coconut donut --this was probably the least favorite. It was soooooo mushy and slimy that it tasted more like a banana bread (a very moist one) than a donut. I was sad because I wanted my friends to try vegan donuts but this was not a good first impression. Overall, it was ok

    Incredible coffee spot in Mt. Pleasant. My go-to is the Venezuelan. If you're a latte fan and like a little bit of sweetness, this is a great option. Great vibe inside and the staff are super friendly and nice. Definitely recommend you grab a cup and hang out or cruise along Main street!

    Not at the level of its reputation anymore. Coffee is ok, but service is kind of arrogant.

    I think it was one of those Cherry Blossom Food Festivals that brought this place to my attention…read moreabout a year or two ago. Been wanting to try it for awhile and now I finally have. We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!

    Wow, a new cafe in the neighbourhood. This coffee shop caught my attention for its beautiful…read moreaesthetic and it's even open till 10pm. I could tell even from outside that it's a popular work and study type of coffee shop with your free wifi and outlets. I hope this post doesn't give it away and make it way too crowded for me to find a seat next time. There's a steady flow of people visiting the stores while I was there on a weekday between late afternoon and early evening but there's always extra seat for anyone new looking for a desk to work or chat with friends. A few could be better are the pricing and temperature. They offer free oat milk substitute and -$0.35 for bringing your own cup but no more employee discount. And it was so cold in there, I could see a lot of people kept their winter jackets on, I don't think it's a heating issue but the constant windy seems to suggest the AC is on rather than the heater, oh wells Im out of there now. For that reason, unless I'm bundled up, it'll be a hard sale to be back again! I got a hojicha latte and it as pretty good, perfect sweetness and temperature for my cold with no ice. The barista was super great to work with.
