    Cute cafe in the heart of Vancouver downtown with lots of drinks and snacks option. I personally am fond of cube croissants so decided to try this cafe. I selected pistachio cube croissant as it's one of their famous things. At first I asked them to heat a bit which made it burn and they were happy to replace. Service is nice and staff is friendly. It was good in taste but I had bit more expectations from it. I also tried mango smoothie which was not that good as compared to the croissant.

    Guffo cafe offer very good coffee and tea items and middle eastern inspired baking goods. I have visited here several times and always liked their matcha item. This time, I tried Coconuts peach matcha(iced). Barista poured matcha into the clear coconut peach drink. It was beautiful presentation. Too bad, I couldn't take video. Drink had strong matcha flavor, I can tell they used generous amount. I really liked their Matcha drink. Not too sweet. I will revisit to get another item, can't wait

    We came here early. The coffee and pastries were delicious. We're satisfied. The shop is small and easy to fill up.

    This is such a cozy and homey cafe downtown. It's kind of a hidden gem. Their decaf oat latte is the best I've had (I liked it better than Starbucks, JJ, Parallel 49, and Pallet). The tables are cute and spread out enough even though it's a small space. The staff was friendly and warm. My friend and I sat and chatted for a while and felt very comfortable there. I would go again. What a lovely place!

    I came here, which was close to my place of stay and had good reviews. The warm atmosphere and kind response made me feel comfortable. I asked the staff a lot of questions and ordered Canadian Maple Latte and Ham and cheese egg croissant. I liked the maple syrup latte because it wasn't too sweet. And most of all, I love the Guffo Mug Cup!!!Around 9 am, the store was full of people. I hope you all have a good morning.

    I tried Spanish latte for the first time from my friend's recommendation. Strong. I like it. The ham croissant was ok.

    iced matcha london fog latte with oat milk

    walking around downtown, i did a quick google search for matcha lattes near me and guffo cafe came up. i'd never heard of it before, so curiosity won and i made my way over to 331 howe to check it out. the café is tucked close to the waterfront station, great location for cruise ship tourists, and a convenient stop if you're wandering the area or working nearby. inside, the vibe is casual, anchored by a long communal table, the kind of setup that makes it easy for solo guests to tuck in with a book or laptop, while still leaving space for small groups to gather. it feels functional yet warm, a spot that works equally well for a quick grab and go or a slower afternoon break. i ordered the iced matcha london fog latte with oat milk, which immediately caught my eye as something a little different. the drink arrived pale green with a light froth on top. flavour wise, it was a thoughtful pairing: grassy matcha layered with the floral, bergamot undertone of a london fog. the oat milk rounded it all out, smoothing the sharper edges and giving it a velvety body without heaviness. refreshing, mellow, and layered, it felt like a bridge between the bright energy of matcha and the cozy softness of earl grey tea. the barista was genuinely friendly, welcoming in a way that made the small space feel approachable rather than institutional. it's those little touches that often tip a visit from ordinary to memorable. beyond drinks, they also offer breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and even local art for sale. there's a canadian flag hung proudly above the front entrance and a full length mirror inside, a fun, practical detail for those last minute outfit checks. overall, guffo cafe feels like one of those downtown gems you stumble across when you least expect it. low key, convenient, and offering drinks that step just a little outside the ordinary, it's worth a stop if you're in the area, especially if you're in the mood for something that blends the familiar with the unexpected.

    It's highly rated and it's close to waterfront Skytrain station. My friend got a flat white and I tried a cup of mango matcha oat latte. Both beverages were good. The mango flavoured matcha oat latte tasted very unique. The paper cups had a very unique design. They were very cute. Customer service was good. It's a cafe or coffee shop with pastries like others. The space has some high tables and chairs. It was kind packed but totally understood that it is in a downtown location. The bigger it is the higher lease it is. I would recommend others to try this coffee shop if they are in downtown/Canada Place or close to Waterfront Skytrain station.

    pistacho cream square croissant
    Joy P.

    this is the kind of place i'd be a regular at if i were a local. wifi, great drinks, insane pastry choices, nice location (close by to public transit routes) and easily walkable if you're in the vicinity of canada place. friendly service and some seating at either small cafe tables or shared large wooden table at entrance. they have an electronic key hanging on a hook near where orders are placed to use to access bathroom down the hall from the back of the shop. what was not to love?

    Coconut energy ball and 12 oz Americano misto
    Alison T.

    A delicious way to start my day of travel and end a weekend of really good eats! Ordered an Americano misto that was piping hot and smooth. The also had the traditional espresso drinks, teas, iced, and fruity non-caff options. Prices topped out at $8 for the largest sizes. They had a small selection of pastries -- croissants in the normal shape and other fun ones that were square (cream-filled) or spiral (Nutella) and dipped in chocolate and chopped pistachio. Loved the updated old world charm and my big tasty coffee served up in a cute, kitschy mug. Convenient to transit.

I'm a sucker for a good multi-roaster cafe, and Revolver is a fantastic one. They serve up beans from all over, and they do it right, thanks to staff with eyes (and noses) for detail. Barista Soho and I chatted about NYC[1], and he told me La Cabra has a bakery there[2]. Savored a lovely pourover from Toronto[3], served hot. That very same day, I returned and had a decaf espresso that slapped[4]. Ample seating. A fair bit of natural light somehow makes it into the shop. Good for a date, coworking (especially in their next door "Archive" space), catching up with friends AND discovering coffee from around the world.

For someone like myself who prefers Cortado/Macchiato small milk espresso drinks, it was "good" but it truly looked like heaven for the pourover crowd. My Cortado was tasty but a bit "thin" for my thicker, more viscous texture preferences. Very warm/comfy vibes and a nice place to hang out and wake up in the morning. Located in Gastown and roughly a block away from the Steam Clock for what it's worth. Enjoy!

The flat white was quite strong, and while it included Earl Grey syrup, the flavor didn't come through as clearly as expected. The Pastéis de Nata was decent -- not too sweet, but a bit dense.

The way they do the frozen matcha is amazing. Truly epic.
