After an early morning Quarry Rock hike, Cafe Orso was the kind of post-hike treat I needed! The Iced Caramel Macchiato was sweet and comforting, honestly hit the spot after the climb! I would like to try their liège waffles next time. The staff were welcoming from the moment I walked in, and service was impressively quick. The cafe itself felt bright, calm, and quiet at that hour. I could easily see this becoming my regular stop after future hikes in the area. Looking forward to coming back already! read more

This is my personal favourite in deep cove. I go for the atmosphere and also had the pleasure of booking the space privately. The owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating - that goes for all of the staff as well. The drinks are delish with my go-to being the spice-y warm chai latte. I go for the waffles with berries and whipped cream but have had the pleasure of trying and greatly enjoying the waffle affogato which is incredibly unique to this cafe! It'd be great if they expanded their menu to offer waffles other than liege but all in all it's a great place to visit in deep cove read more

i really wanted to like this place! we ordered 2 mochas but the service wasn't the most friendly, which aligned with some reviews we've read online. i think we're used to a sweeter mocha with real callebaut chocolate but nothing inherently bad to say besides the service and it's cool that they serve bjornbar pastries! read more

Cashier was very friendly. Casual place, you order at the front and they bring to your table. I'm not a fan of tomato but the bisque was quite tasty. read more

I live in the neighbourhood and it's a great place to go to grab a coffee or a snack;)

Went here for coffee and waffles for the kids. Coffee is 49th parallel, which is my favourite. They allowed us to swap strawberries with bananas for the waffles, which was appreciated. It's a great place with great service! Food is a bit expensive but sign of the times. I miss the salami sticks they used to sell (nice as a GF option). Overall we enjoy coming here! read more

One of the great joys of staying in Deep Cove, North Vancouver has been finding this wonderful restaurant! The service was friendly (which was not the case at a local donut shop...and I always consider this as a BIPOC), the coffee was on point and the food was amazing. We came back for seconds today and may have to come again before leaving this beautiful area! I also love supporting BIPOC businesses so that's a plus! I'm also excited about doing my first ever espresso flight! Wish me luck as my heart goes into overdrive. LOL read more

They were so friendly behind the counter and blown away by the oatmeal raisin cookie and the chocolate chip one that were so chewy, crunchy, and perfectly sweetened. The modern interior was clean and the coffees were superb as well. If I lived in this neighborhood would be a much more frequent visitor. read more

Small cafe in Deep Cove. It's the westernmost food option on Galiant St. Clean and bright interior, with a small bar, small tables on the sides, and a couch area in the middle. The serve coffee, light meals and also alcohol is on the menu. Went there on a weekday and there were plenty of visitors in Deep Cove, which meant pretty good business for this cafe as well. Ordered a few the food options. Got the breakfast platter which included some cured meats, avocados, and grilled cheese on sourdough bread. Also got the half tuna cheese sandwich with a bowl of the tomato soup, and an order of the waffles which was 3 small waffles with bananas and whipped cream. The food was alright, not bad, but nothing noteworthy either. They are light meal, so portions are not very substantial. read more

We wanted to try something local after doing the Quarry Rock hike. Food is yummy and coffee is okay. I would have given 4 stars but it seems the sandwiches were reversed for me & my husband. My meal was supposed to be the Sour Tuscan - open faced sandwich w/ roasted red peppers and Tuscan salami with cheese and arugula. I only got grilled cheese and it was mostly spinach. At least hubby shared some of his meat with me. He ordered the Ploughman Lunch which was supposed to be grilled cheese and meat on the side but his sandwich had salami and some red sauce with cheese on top plus the cold cuts & avocado. So my guess was the sandwiches were reversed. Only thought about this after going home when I reviewed the menu again. read more

I'm in love with a coffee shop! I had the hot chocolate and a liege waffle, and those two alone got me planning my next visit to deep cove, just so that I can get another cute cup of cocoa and nibble of my mochi textured liege waffle! Ambience is super chic, cute, and clean! Definitely coming back, and definitely highly recommended! Did I mention there's bears everywhere?!?!?! There's cute bear decor and motifs everywhere!!! Such a cute finishing touch! read more

The place needs a good cleaning. There is stuff everywhere, walls are dirty, floors are gritty, and the fabric cushions on the chairs / couch look like they have never been washed. Needs a spruce up. Parallel 49 coffee on tap read more

Excellent food! We had charcuterie board, tomato bisque, tomato melt, waffles and carrot bread. All were superb! I highly recommend!

Hands down best waffle I ever had. Fruit was fresh and coffee was delightful! Nice aesthetic and friendly service.

Good pastry & coffee! When I go to Deep cove, I have my go to so last time I was in the area I made a mental not to ditch the go to and come here instead and I'm glad I did. Super cool, modern, very clean cafe. I gravitate to the pastries, no surprise there and they have my fave almond croissant. I also grab a latte. They also offer other things in their menu, which I cant wait to try on future visits. The friendly barista made my latte just the way I liked it. The carry 49 parallel coffee. The almond croissant was just divine, buttery, crunchy and soft middle.. yummy! Lots of seating indoors and a handful of outdoor as well. Im glad a came in and wont be the last. read more

I visited Deep Cove many times but it was the first time to try Cafe Orso. They told me the latte was very good, so I ordered it. Indeed the texture of the latte was very smooth and it tasted excellent. The environment was very comfortable. The staff was friendly. The cafe wouldn't rush you to leave. Their waffles are very special but I did not order any because I had already had lunch. They made the waffles at the cafe. Cafe Medina also sells their waffles. I tried their waffles before. It was great. I just didn't order them at Cafe Orso. If you never tried their waffles, you should definitely order them at Cafe Orso. read more

I really love how bright and beautifully designed this cafe is. They offer a variety of drinks (including beer), lunch options, and waffles. I ordered a Daily Soup (tomato bisque). The soup was tart, but quite delicious. The consistency was right and the addition of feta cheese made the soup less boring and more "meaty". The toasted bread on the side was crunchy, perfect for dunking into the soup. I think the dish was decent, but not worth $10 (after tax and tips). At the end of the day, it was tomato soup with a little cheese and a slice of toast. Service could be improved as well. I walked in, looked at the menu, and stood in front of the counter waiting for someone to help me. A few staff walked out from the back, but no one helped me or greeted me. read more

I used to live nearby so got to go here regularly when they first opened, and loved it. Since moving away, I've missed this place! These are new owners so I was curious if it would be just as good. Happy to report, nothing has changed and everything was great! We had liege waffles with strawberries and avocado toast. Everything was delicious and delivered with a smile. Also, for Deep Cove this place is very reasonable. There's no outdoor seating like the places closer to the water, which was fine with us... on a hot day, we enjoyed the AC. We were 3 people and light breakfast with coffee/teas was about $40 including tip. It's a relaxing space and you do not feel rushed. I look forward to coming here again on my next visit back to my old hood. read more

it's worth heading away from the water and hitting up Cafe Orso for lunch while in Deep Cove. they were really friendly, the food was really good and the decor was clean, crisp and simple. had a grilled tomato and cheese with this blueberry balsamic (oh the balsamic!) as well as a local Deep Cove beer. it was a lot of food and it was quite tasty. no complaints. i would go back any time. i came home with a cute t-shirt as well. added bonus! read more

I came here pretty hungry, which was perhaps a mistake. I was looking for a great breakfast, but unfortunately they were sold out of bread so options were limited. The portion sizes were pretty small - maybe a bit European but not great when you're really hungry! I liked that the food was fresh, but the strawberries didn't seem local even though it was strawberry season, so that was a bit disappointing. I really liked the t-shirts they had and wish I had bought one. I'd probably come back here for a hot drink but not a meal. read more

So we tried the tomato soup was ok not my favorite. The tuna melt was nice. Nutella banana waffle and it was pretty good it could be a bit kore crispy . The food overall looks pretty good. The Biggest disappointment was the cappuccino. As you can see not much love was put into it. I love to explore coffee shops everywhere I go and I was looking forward to the espresso drink here as it looked good on the pictures. So the reason I give it a 3 is because the drink was a 2 and the food was a 4 which makes the over all experience a 3. read more

Cafe Orso - Cappuccino - Cafes Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

The hot cocoa with the marshmallow was a nice touch. I do wish the marshmallow was toasted since it's not "in" the drink but more of a garnish... it would have been nicer to eat toasted. OR I wish it was in the hot chocolate so it could melt a bit and be more apart of the drink itself. I loved the paintings and the bear theme but I didn't like how crowded the seating was but I get it... pack as many seats in as possible. It made it hard to have a convo with friends. read more

I came here mainly for specialty coffee and it was a bit of disappointment. Either they were busy or didn't know better. I had their tomato soup was decent. The waffle looked really good.

The best coffee in Deep Cove and friendly staff. Comfortable seating. Cute decor. I go for their flat white. Their waffles and open-faced sandwiches are consistently really good. Also try the almond croissants! I do think they should have more outdoor seating, although I'm not sure how they would make that work given their location. Definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more

I was recently there after a quick hike at Quarry Rock and I wasn't all too impressed with the experience. The cafe itself is quite nice, I really like the interior and coziness of the place. I ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice which was $5 so I was expecting a decent sized glass. After everything else arrived, I had asked for my juice, which they forgot to bring over. And I was watching her pour the juice from a jug, I saw that the jug had very little left and assumed they will probably make more or let me know it's not enough. But instead she poured it into a glass (size of a stemless wine glass) and it looked barely full enough to be considered a glass-- although I can't speak for how much they would normally serve if they had more juice available. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this and I can see that most of their menu is pretty pricey, such as $12 avocado toast. I don't see myself going back the next time I'm in deep cove, and if I do, I will surely avoid the OJ. read more

You're driving around Deep Cove looking for a parking spot, and are about to give up and go home. Don't! Drive around once more, find that spot, and eat at this amazing cafe. This old fashion modern style cafe is serving delicious food on the north shores hippest part of town. We actually just came for a t-shirt (sadly they didn't have the shirt I wanted ) and we stayed for lunch. I had the Tomato Melt and it's seriously TDF. My partner had the Ploughman's. We both loved our meals. I definitely will return as I want to try one (or two) of their waffles. They looked amazing! Love love loved this place! read more

I feel like they sell everything. Coffee. Waffles. Craft Beer. Fresh baked goods. And pepperoni sticks! I'm knocking off a star because they didn't have soy milk. And although I'm a fan of almond milk, sometimes it doesn't always work with my chai/latte. But other than that, it's a great new coffee space in Deep Cove and it's definitely worth visiting again whenever I'm in the area! PS. Great spot to grab a cold drink after hiking Quarry Rock! read more

Cute little quaint place in Deep Cove. I've been stalking and drooling over their food pics on instagram. Made a special trip out here with m boyfriend. Specializing in locally sourced ingredients and eureopean inspired food. This place was quite amazing. Bright open space nice decor. They have deep cove ( I think it was deep cove) craft beer and blasted church on tap. The waffles were amazing and worth the $12 price tag. Waffles are baked in house, they were served warm. Fresh fruit, light on the sauces. It's a good thing! It didn't take away the flavour from the waffles themselves. read more

Loved this place! It's hip, but friendly. Clean, fresh and relaxing. We stopped here early this morning to get a quick bite before our hike up Quarry Rock. It was so cute and the food is delicious! I had the avocado toast and Lovie had the Ploughman's breakfast. Both come with this really rich tasting curried apple coconut jam stuff that is so incredible. You wouldn't think it would be good with avo toast but the blend of flavors was heavenly. I can wait to go back! read more

We stopped here for lunch while boating. The food is absolutely amazing! Bread is homemade and fresh. My son loved the waffles, daughter got plain grilled cheese, I had the avocado on toast and my husband had a tuna melt and tomato bisque. Only cost $46 for all 4 of us. Highly recommend!!! read more

I wrote a fantastic review for this place because of their amazing coffee. They let go of one barista (Italian guy) who could make coffee properly. Now you get a half gallon of milk with your dry cappuccino or macchiato. Just disaster of drink. This cafe was one place I loved to drink coffee at, but no more. Sad to see the quality drop or collapse. read more

This little place is very trendy and cute. The Belgian waffles are to die for. The ingredients are extremely high quality which results in higher prices, but that's how it usually goes! I'd definitely recommend the caramel sauce with the waffles and getting a coffee. Be sure to take a walk in the neighbourhood afterward, goes perfect with the coffee. ;) read more

The service, the food, the ambiance, are all top notch up in heeeeeere. Due to the UNBELIEVABLY UNREAL DELICIOUSNESS of the avocado toast.... it's possible that this place is playing a big role in that demise of us Millennials that Buzzfeed is always on about. Seriously folks. THE AVOCADO TOAST AVEC HOUSE MARMALADE OR PRESERVE OF SOME KIND. It's everything. It's amazing. It's a must have. Oh yeah, their coffee and waffles and blah blah blah are pretty good too. Ahem! Avocado Toast. read more

My god we loved this place, and can't wait to return on our next visit to Deep Cove this October. The avocado toast is beyond amazing... and the curried apple coconut preserve they serve with it was delicious. I had a chai latte, Heather had a matcha latter, and we had a fabulous morning. Beautiful cafe, great staff in an awesome little town... what more can you ask for on a late Saturday morning? read more

Great atmosphere and drinks. We ordered the European breakfast, lavender latte, and dirty chai. Was not super impress but was not bad either. The drinks were good but the European breakfast was slightly overpriced for what it is. I don't have too much to say about customer service. Was not amazing but not terrible either. Somewhere in the middle, haha. Overall, lovely space in a nice neighbourhood. read more

Hipster cool but left hungry. Nice decor and good quality but go elsewhere if you don't want to spend $$$ for a double order. One 3" waffle just isn't worth $9, nor does it count as breakfast, Deep Cove or no Deep Cove premium. Menu not varied enough, although it seems long, but they just write everything out two or three times and the specials are the same as the menu. No eggs at all, really just a snack/coffee place. I don't recommend for breakfast unless you have already seen the menu and don't need lots of coffee (no refills). read more

Cafe Orso This is THE place for good coffee and a bite in Deep Cove. After a nearby hike hit this cafe for fresh tasty eats and a good cuppa. And if you're avoiding that thing called gluten, grab something from next door at Bluhouse. The folks at Orso don't mind if you bring it in, since all their GORGEOUS yummies are all gluten filled, like the ham & cheese croissant and the beautiful, made to order Avocado open faced sandwich made on an artisan, whole wheat sourdough... *oh drool* Coffee by 49th, served from the sweetest Dutch made custom espresso machine I've seen in a while, the Spirit. The space is beautimous inside Orso. Just go, trust me, you'll like it. read more
