Love this cozy little coffee shop! It's a couple blocks from my work so I like to walk there and grab a morning or midday drink. All the baristas are friendly. They roast their own beans and you can watch. They have little trinkets and other handmade items for purchase. read more

Paper Tiger is fantastic! Lots of parking in the lot outside, cozy and inviting inside. The tram was super helpful and we had our order in fast. The coffee is fantastic! I had a latte, the brew was great, it was smooth and full of flavor. I am already looking forward to my next cup here! Great coffee, great service, great location! read more

I tried paper tiger for a Matcha latte and I was honestly impressed! Besides the price being excellent for an oat milk Matcha latte the barista was so charming and lovely and the inside was very calming and welcoming. Although this was my first time trying them it definitely won't be my last. read more

Regular coffee was watery. Something I'd expect at a cafeteria but not a coffee shop. Starbucks brewed coffee is sooo much better. read more

I've been meaning to visit this place for a while! There are lots of coffee options here (specifically lots of flavor options), and I like that they roast their own coffee. The place is packed it when we were there, but not much seating. Definitely a little local gem. read more

Got what Ash recommended, the iced caramel oat milk latte. It was so delicious. Can't wait to try their other creations. If you're coming by car, there's lots of parking in the plaza attached. Plaza is a little dinky and this coffee shop lifts the whole area up. Seems like all the young trendy folks come here. read more

Coffee is roasted in house and is subpar. Food is store bought and microwaved but "finished" on a panini press so it isn't so terrible. Early morning barista (starts with a G) terrible customer service, gets orders wrong, and was more focused on her makeup than being at the front to take orders. Would not recommend, maybe the afternoon crew are better. read more

Stopped in for a coffee - used to come here years ago - and was pleasantly surprised to find they had survived the pandemic and was still here. Yes, they're under new ownership but I think the new owners have kept alive the spirit of the original Paper Tiger owners. They roast their own coffee, have an array of baked goods, and a coffee menu that covers most things coffee. However, I didn't see a cortado listed anywhere so asked if they made one and got a positive response. I placed my order and chose a cinnamon crunch muffin to go with it. The limited tables in the seating area were all full so I drank my cortado and ate my muffin in the car. The cortado wasn't as hot as it could have been and the muffin wasn't very crunchy but overall, Paper Tiger is nice little addition to Vancouver. The nice big shared parking lot is a bonus! read more

Wonderful stop in for coffee before we had a long day ahead of us. Bright and inviting coffee shop just down the street from where we staying. read more

Cute little coffee shop, plenty of parking. The only thing I would say is... there's not a lot of space. So it's mostly for 1-2 people they have a big table and some small ones outside but the street is pretty busy and rather not sit out with three people kids. Staff is awesome, they have coloring books. I liked the coffee so much I bought a bag. They have the machine right in the back which is awesome. read more

Chatted with the barista. She was funny and humble. Love her origin story and love supporting employee owned businesses. Coffee and vibes are a locals 'must try'. read more

Overall, this was a refreshingly local coffee shoot that wasn't trying to be more than it is. I love that they roast their own beans. The barista was nice and the wifi works! Wish that the coffee wasn't so basic though of add any flavor from an extensive list but more curated. read more

The coffee was okay, nothing special. We got an iced mocha and an iced caramel oat latte. Parking was easy to find and there was not a long wait while inside. Small coffee shop with limited seating. The owner was there when we went - not the friendliest - we wanted to experience the "siphon coffee" because it looked cool in the pictures but she said it wasn't available & said "it's just a way we brew the coffee" I already knew that but wanted to see the process in person... read more

Just alright coffee, but I fully admit that it could just be my preferences just happen to not match the roaster's flavor profile. The service was friendly, and the space was cheerily decorated by art you could take home for the right price. I just wish I liked the coffee more. read more

If you are looking for a great coffee spot you have found it. These folks roast their own beans here at the shop. Reasonable prices on the drinks. Staff that isn't miserable to be here working. Cool old school coffee shop vibes. The barista Luree is such a delight and knows her coffee stuff! If you need beans for home try out one of the many roasts they offer. They also display local art and goodies to shop for. read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - a woman working in a coffee shop - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

10/10 [1]Food -- Amazing. Personally I'm not a coffee drinker, I go with my partner and he gets the coffee. He said it was great! I got an oolong tea with some vanilla syrup. Never had the combo before, just a vision. I loved it. We also got an apple fritter, and a dark chocolate muffin. Both were OUTSTANDING, on their own and especially in little bites with sips of our beverages. Moist, but not spongey. Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. [2]Service -- Just one person taking orders and making all the drinks! So obviously, be patient. They were equally patient with us as we asked questions about the menu. The barista was very nice and welcoming. We stayed for a while, and they said goodbye to us as we left. [3]Ambiance -- Loved it. There is a shabby parking lot, but that rickety feeling fades the moment you start walking up to the store. There is outside seating (one table, I'd say. Fits two, from what I recall). There were many trinkets and doodads to look at and appreciate when you enter. I couldn't find any of their own merchandise, though. That, you can find online. Unfortunately, the item I was hoping to find was no longer being sold. It was a 15oz paper tiger coffee roaster tumbler, with a handle. It was adorable. Hope they bring it back. read more

A delightful stop for espresso or mixed coffee drinks. The service is friendly and enjoyable. I like when the coffee roaster is working. It adds to the warm environment. read more

Nope. No. Not at all. The espresso was so over pulled that it was bitter and not drinkable. The atmosphere was not welcoming or inviting. What a bummer. Both beverages ended up in the trash. read more

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love this place! It's down home local where Vancouver-ites can get social and feel understood in these times of Covid. Easy parking lot, outside tables, community bulletin board... My newest favorite is Turmeric Golden Milk Latte. read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - Turmeric Golden Milk Latte with Almond Milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Coffee was okay. They make their own syrups, which means it's not overly sweet (plus), but also that the flavors aren't as strong (minus). The employees were great--super nice, great service for a coffee shop. I was picking up coffee to go so didn't sit and stay, but looked comfortable. 3.5 stars. read more

I used to come here a while back and loved the place but the new owner girl changed allot here and when she makes shots she makes them really light. It's a total rip off and she's not very personable too it's just an unpleasant coffee experience now. read more

Latte was good and it smelt great when I walked in. Staff was average and answered a question begrudgingly for me. Wet vac is sitting out right next to the coffee bean roaster (ew). Overall I may go back to avoid Starbucks if I'm in the area as the latte was still good. read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - a paper duck on a counter - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Cool, eclectic café with excellent coffee. I went with the black currant iced coffee on the owners recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. There was plenty of cassis flavor without it being overpowering and with a bit of cream and sugar it was one of the best iced coffees I've had. read more

Came through here while my son was at a taekwondo tournament. It was in the oddest strip mall ever and I was pretty sure I could by anything you would never need in the shops around it. Typical outskirt Vancouver... That said it was a tiny tiny shop, barely can walk around people to get to order. The coffee was solid, the snacks were from the bakery next door and fresh and amazing. The staff was very friendly and put up with my stupid jokes and questions. I would recommend this to a friend who is stuck in the drive through coffee and Starbucks rut. Come in and grab yourself a cup of quality. read more

Paper Tiger for the win! We walked up on a cold, rainy morning and could smell the coffee roasting from the parking lot. My partner roasts his own coffee and he actually said it is better than what he does at home - which is something he's never said. The inside has a nice, local neighborhood spot feel. Our only small gripe is that the temperature the brewed coffee is kept at is very hot - all it needs is a good 10 minutes to cool off before drinking. We came back the next day for three more cups! read more

I didn't spend a lot of time in here, because I just wanted to pick up a quick coffee, but quick doesn't seem to be their motto. That is okay with me though, as long as there is at least quality. They have 4(?) sauces that they make in house, including caramel. I chose to add caramel to my americano of course. I wasn't against anything about this place or coffee, but I wasn't too impressed either. I shall remain impartial and give it the "A-OK" rating (3 starts). It did take me forever to maneuver the parking lot to find a place I was allowed to park, however. Might be back, might not. I'm so in between on this review that I have to come back to experience the whole thing and re-rate I suppose? read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - Iced Americano with their house made Caramel. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Excellent coffee, would definitely come back, I got the hazelnut cardamom latte and it was great

Super average coffee. The vibes are kind of fun if you like a low maintenance, traditional coffee spot. The attraction to this coffee shop may lie more in their community engagement and staff than in an exceptional cup of coffee. We tried an almond milk latte, a regular drip coffee, and a breve latte and no one found these drinks good enough to return for. The reviews for this place are really good so maybe we just visited on an off day. read more

Regular place I get coffee; during the weekends mostly. Kind and attentive staff. Delicious and strong coffee and espresso. Love this place! read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - Hemp milk latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I simply love the decaf coffee at Paper Tiger! It's the best I have ever found anywhere.

Good coffee and cute place! Missing one star because the girl didn't understand what I wanted- a decaf coffee with frothed oat milk.

Ordered an iced vanilla latte. The barista didn't pull any shots, instead they pulled a big jug of what looked like cold brew out of a fridge to make the latte with. Thought that was strange, it's the second time I've been here that that has happened. I don't live nearby so I forgot about that. Just thought people should know. It taste like cold brew with milk and sugar, not at all what I wanted. Friendly barista though. read more

My new favorite coffee shop in Vancouver :) Delicious coffee. Sometimes a little wait as their baristas are often working solo, but worth it in my opinion. I've been here 3x now and still happy. All syrups are house-made (yum!) and don't just taste like simple syrup. These folks also carry ALL the milk alternatives for those of us that skip on the dairy in our beverages, not just soy. I especially enjoy the black currant latte with hemp milk. Fun fact- the staff take an intern each year from the school for the blind and the school deaf. Appreciated that I could hear the joy in the barista's voice when I asked her about it. Love that they're investing in our community. Cute place and a darling little bakery next door as well. Check it out! read more

Great coffee. One of the best americanos I have had in the area. I love family run coffee shops and roasters I want to see them succeed! They have hemp milk as one of the milk alternatives! Which is a fun plus for me because it is my favorite and many places don't offer it. I did have an unpleasant issue with one of the employees but every other time with different employees has been pleasant and positive interactions. Plus the owner apologized and made it right. Most businesses won't go out of their way to make anything right these days so this is a huge thing to me! It shows pride and honor and that the owner cares about his business and his product. Support this business because we need small businesses like this with good people running them. read more

Upon seeing a yelpified seal of approval from my coffee guru Sara B., I decided it was finally time to go check out Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters for myself. Greeted by a menu full of caffeinated goodness, I opted to order an iced coffee to compliment our lovely heat filled weather. I am not sure what blend of coffee I ended up with, but it was strong and didn't become weak and/or watered down as the ice melted, which was a major plus in my book. Whatever I had was tasty and made me look forward to trying some of the other blends on future visits. In addition to awesome coffee, Paper Tiger rocks some neat artwork, a book shelf packed with classics, events such as poetry nights, and a friendly staff. This combination definitely created more of a funky Portland-y vibe which for a moment or two made me wonder if I was still in Vantucky (what a happy feeling...*sigh*). I have a feeling this swanky little shop will be fueling my caffeine addiction quite frequently. read more

Favorite place for coffee in Vancouver. I'm not really into fancy coffee drinks so I've only tried their plain house roasts with cream and their chai latte... Both of which are the best in town. The staff has never been anything less than friendly. If you are planning to drink your coffee there it can get pretty crowded. The shop is small and there isn't a lot of seating. I used to come here for work staff meetings but we had to move locations because it was always difficult to find enough seating for 5. Overall, great neighborhood coffee shop. read more

Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters - Tomato pastry - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I simply love this place. I prefer it to the Portland coffee shops and am really glad it's located right here in Vancouver. It's a unique experience, lots of art and creativity and local mojo flow from this place. All the of the branding and design is done by the owner as well as the roasting. The owner is super knowledgeable about roasting, coffee origins and flavors and various brew methods. I've enjoyed great cold brew, pour over, french press, siphons and fantastic lattes all at this place. If you consider yourself somewhat of a coffee geek, you'll find lots to love about this place. It is definitely worth the visit. read more

I ordered coffee for a friend who lives in Vancouver. Kenny kindly helped me out with a note and fast service! My friend is happy with this surprise gift. Thank you for helping me out from Wisconsin! read more

Went for coffee here, for a change, recommended by a friend. We drove all the way from Gladstone. It was ok, slow service, slower paced cafe in general. Had a savory gallete there too, which was good but too much cheese on bottom of it. It was ok, but not the best we've had. We wanted to go and see our friend's art and say hello. So it was worth the drive up! Nice to support smaller cafes like this one read more

So Paper Tiger responded and left my opinion more or less unchanged. Diabetes is not exactly the current fad going around. There some very good products on the market which I know because many of their competitors carry them. So again, the outcome is that they do not want my (or most other diabetics) business. Which is fine, it's not like there are not other options. I would heartily recommend Sacred Grounds just up north of them aways. read more
