Terrible place to grab anything. My options were limited since it was Victoria day, but I probably could have skipped it. Their chocolate croissant was possibly the worst croissant I've ever had--it was dry, tasteless, and the worst part was that they took a regular butter croissant and slit the bottom to fill it with HERSHEY's CHOCOLATE SYRUP I've had bad croissants before, but filling a croissant with hersheys is a new low. Even Starbucks croissants are better than this--will not be back read more

Great coffee, fast service. Do yourself a favor, and skip the Starbucks right across the street. read more

Artigiano - Pender - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Many years ago when I was involved with football(it's really hard to call it soccer) in the winter - my warm up drink afterwards was the Spanish Latte at Caffe Artigiano. I was working downtown & my usual Starbucks location is going through renovations. Across the street at W Pender & Thurlow is CA. I had not been to CA & not to this location in awhile. Situated right at the corner, above is the Marriott Hotel. CA is all about being a stylishly classy cafe - it's got beautiful furnishings & cool lighting. I ordered a Spanish Latte & wasn't sure what to have for breakfast - so went with the recommended gourmet Breakfast Wrap. Three words for this drink - De Light Ful! Having grown up drinking condensed milk & when I found out that SP is made with it - I was thrilled! My drink was perfect & my wrap was amazing - tasted so good! Thing is if the SL is made just right you don't need to add any extra sugar or cream. My wrap consisted of Gouda, tomato, asparagus, onions, red peppers & pesto mayo. Just loved it!!! There are plenty options if you want to try something else! Now these high end coffee joints are pricy but really were can you get quality coffee & a bite to eat that's cheap & not nasty? CA I demand that the dude who prepped my wrap be given an immediate raise! LOL read more

Excellent coffee when you need a great wake-up to the day Combine with an almond croissant warmed Perfect. Thank you Caffe Artigiano read more

The Spanish latte here is top notch. Rich & aromatic in taste! Latte art ranges from amazing to blah; it's kinda hit or miss depending on who's pouring. But the main thing is that the quality of the coffee here is definitely on point! read more

I tried Spanish latte. This menu item was new to me. Maybe I should stir the drink as the condensed milk was at the bottom of the cup. The scone was delicious and substantial. The waitresses were helpful, cheerful and polite. read more

Came here for a meeting, and tried their iced latte. It was pretty good. This place had a ridiculous lineup (spilling out the front), even at 1500 on a Thursday. Fortunately, the staff knew what they were doing and operated like clockwork. The atmosphere was definite a bit too busy, as there are too many tables inside. You have to bump 5 other people to get your table. The coffee is good, but personally I would try for another location if possible. read more

One of my favorite locations for this new dominant chain of coffee places. The one-up on Starbucks in terms of quality and taste I frequently come to their coffee first if any of the locations are near where I am going for a good wake up call! This is one of those locations in the morning on a work day I can stop my car, as there is parking in front, and run in to get my java fix. The staff are friendly and fast at serving you, knowing this is downtown and knowing that you gotta get somewhere and fast. The place does have enough sitting if you are willing to slow yourself down and enjoy a coffee, served in a non paper cup if you choose. There is this one table outside on a nice day if you also would venture outside. read more

Nicely decorated restaurant, there is a retro scooter in the middle of the dinning area. Highly recommended to those who are looking for Benny breakfast. Perfect location. The plate is huge, even it seems not much food- I was not able to finish potatoes. You order and pay at the cashier, which saves time by the end. read more

My friend got me introduced to Artigiano's coffee and I've been a big fan ever since. This is cozy and fancy coffee shop serves delicious coffee. I always get their Caramel Macchiato or just Iced Spanish Latte. At the same time I got my folks liking this shop as well. Later on they became as Aritigiano fans like myself. Their coffee has good balance of sweetness and this location also offers water fountain if you ever get thirsty. You'll love this place. read more

Good place for breakfast/ lunch sandwiches or wraps. They have good coffee. Their croissants are really good, if you just enjoy enjoy coffee with buttery croissants. read more

While I've been to plenty Italian Cafes back home on the East coast, this is the first Cafe that features the Italian/Euro setting the most in Vancouver. Mentally stepping inside I also had that false pretense to expect an Italian Bold Roast as typical of Italian Espresso Beverages. The Cappuccino while having more unique of a flavour profile than the ones I'm normally offered, which by the way is a good thing, I didn't quite enjoy it as much simply because it was lacking that UMPH even when compared to other North American Cafes. What bothered me most was that I had a zillion little voices in my head while simply just trying to enjoy my Beverage. All the suits surrounding me intensified their conversation making this more like an after-work Pub rather than a Cafe. Do NOT come here if you have a Headache. Do NOT come here if you need a quiet place to think. Do NOT come here if you want to relax. There's plenty of regular local Office Workers to keep this place filled. read more

Croissants tasted stale and we wound up throwing them away. Coffee was fine but nothing exciting. I would not go back

Sour. If any of you have read some of my coffee reviews, you know what I'm conveying. read more

average food. Service Ok. Atmosphere boring (no music)

Wanted just a quick breakfast nibble before leaving town. Not a fan of the coffee - tastes a bit sour. My croissant was tasty but not the best I've had. Helps that it was close to the hotel. read more

Spanish latte was killer, perfectly balanced sweet/bitter, needed no sugar and the foam was delicate. They do a good pull here and have a sign clearly noting that if you're ever dissatisfied with a dopio or espresso macchiato that they'll repull it for you no questions asked. My only complaints: - it was damn noisy in there! Some acoustic material on the ceiling/walls would be incredibly helpful - the biscoti was a bit soft, and I'm a fan of a nice, crisp biscoti for dipping Otherwise, super friendly service and a great cup in a great location! read more

Vent incoming.... If you carry a muffin called Cranberry Oatmeal it should contain more than 2 decorative cranberries on the top. Otherwise, you should perhaps change the order and call it an Oatmeal cranberry muffin? Or actually just Oatmeal muffin would be more appropriate. Oatmeal and friends even. But please stop trying to sell this as having any real fruit action in it. It's called false advertising. And at 8am, I am NOT in the mood. Since Artigiano got taken over by the Earls group of restos I have seen a drastic downfall in the quality of food. Not only at this location but at Hornby too. I have also had reeeeeeeally bad coffee. Which is shocking because not too long ago this used to be one of my favourite spots. Perhaps it is time to remove one of those "f"s from your name...the Italians want it back . read more

We were staying at a Hotel in Coal Harbour and I wanted to find the Best Latte in Vancouver. This is the store of 2012 Canadian Western Regional Barista Top 3 Finisher Alan Vuong. The Baista that poured my Latte is trained by Vuong, and it was a perfect pour. The Latte was rich, full body with very little acidity. I left with a 1lb/16 oz/453 g bag of their Private Reserve Espresso Beans. These beans are some of the best I've ever purchased. When I tried them out at home on my Espresso Machine, they delivered a dark Crema that is perfect for Lattes. read more

The coffee here always tastes a bit burnt to me, even if the latte art is lovely. But it's a great place to people watch. I often think it might be a suitable place to "meet" someone--if everyone didn't seem to be in a meeting, that is. I guess I'm never one of those aforementioned people. I usually sit in the window, which is better for people watching than people-meeting, although the seats aren't too comfortable. It is one of the only places in the city where you get a true "bustling" feel--something I miss from NY. I don't "get" why places are opposed to skim milk (and this is one of them). I am sure that there are others out there who prefer the taste of skim. And I'd rather save the milk "calories" for something more decadent like a pastry or ice cream. I usually come here around 4 pm when it's less busy, and the staff is always fine with me, so I'm surprised to hear about the negative reviews. It certainly has a warmer feel than the SB across the street (and I'm a huge SB fan.) So when in the area, this is a great place to stop for a latte and maybe even a scone or muffin. read more

Thank you for being open at 6am! You are my reason for surviving early mornings! I love you artigiano latte, almost as much as artigiano cappuccino! The best coffee in Vancouver! read more

Today when I ventured in for an iced americano to quench my thirst in this heat there was no line and the lovely smiling girl behind the counter asked me if the key around my neck was for my house and I replied that it was for my heart and then she asked if she could have it. I almost gave it to her. :) read more

When I first visited Vancouver, I came to this Caffe Artigiano and was thoroughly impressed by their equally gorgeous and tasty lattes. A few months ago a friend in California sent me an email with photos of artful lattes from Caffe Artigiano that had been forwarded to her. She asked, "Is this place for real?" I happily was able to tell her that it sure is! read more

The grilled sandwich I had was pretty unimpressive. I could have done better at home. They give a little salad with the sandwich that comes in a container about the size of a shot glass. During the hour I was killing during a break I think I heart someone drop something at least 3 times. Maybe when the staff gets bored they have plate fights? read more

Perfectly delicious spot for the coffee and pastry breakfast we were looking for. * Friendly staff * Tasty pastries & breakfast sandwiches * Great coffee * Surprising number of sweetener options (though maybe this is true of Canada coffee shops in general? I dunno!) read more

Great coffee, I've always been impressed with this locations. Fairly priced given downtown vancouver. But the baristas have some serious aggression. It was pretty unsettling. There was one barista who announced that my first card was declined in an awkwardly loud voice to the point where people were staring. Which is okay, but when he ended up making a different drink to the one I ordered, gave me pretty rude tone and remade it. I was nice throughout and it reflected on him at the end, but bare in mind that I was the customer. At the end of the day though, it was great coffee at a fair price and the ambiance and location are excellent. read more

Caffè Artigiano has great coffee. Can't take that away from them. Also appreciate the wood and touches that make it seem like a cafe in Europe.Two negative things to write (one about this specific location): 1) Location specific: They have packed in as many chairs as possible, so it is impossible to NOT bump into your neighbor as you try and edge your way out of the maze. Very limited outdoor sidewalk seating (2 tables). 2) Caffè Artigiano may be great for coffee, but the same cannot be said for their eats. Their croissants share only shape as a similarity to their french origin namesake. They are dry and quite tasteless. I won't be writing home about the muffins either. read more

Really amazing coffee. There really is nothing more to say --- isn't that all one wants in a cafe?! Their espresso shots always taste perfect (maybe its because they still use a manual bar - take that starbucks!). You can always tell the quality of the shot poured --- if it sits too long, its bitter; if the grind is too coarse, its bland; and if the grind is too fine, its oversteeped. When the shot is at the perfect grind and poured into the beverage within 8 seconds of being poured, THAT'S when you're gonna get an amazing cup of coffee. And that is all you need to know. read more

A Spanish latte always hits the spot! Their pain au chocolat is light and fluffy! read more

AMAZING COFFEE, GREAT SERVICE! This place made me not want to come back to my hometown. My sister is the type of person who needs to try americano from every single coffee place she can find in one city, and she was so very very verrrrry impressed at how clean and smooth it tasted - no sour or bitter aftertaste. I don't drink soy milk, and she fooled me by ordering a soy caramel latte, and I didn't even know it was soy! I don't know how they made it, but it was amazing. I just hope they expand to Alberta soon enough, or I might have to go back to Van. read more

Meh. This caffe is so-so. I had a mocha which was pretty good. A nice dark chocolate flavor, but the coffee was a bit overdone so there was a bit too much of a char flavor for my liking. The layout of seating in the store is pretty bad, too. Why would you have a table of two surrounded completely by a ring of other tables? It made for trying to get in and out of our tables really difficult when the store was even a third empty, because there was no space to even move between tables. read more

Stopped by for a cup of coffee and a breakfast burrito. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service.
