We were walking down the street looking for a local coffee place and found this little gem down the street from our hotel. We ordered a latte and green tea and not only was it delicious, but the people working there were very kind and sweet. I noticed they had a food menu that we were unable to try but if their food is as good as their coffee, I would definitely give it a try! Great place to start your morning! read more

Rocanini Coffee Roasters - Latte & green tea - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

pretty good coffee with nice latte art. lattes come with double shot. cappucino turned out well. few baked goods

I've always loved the Rocanini coffee shop in Steveston, Richmond, so when I discovered they opened a location in downtown, I wanted to check out the space. They're located right on Beatty, across from the Starbucks. The space: A large open room, with wood floors, and a communal table by the window. There's a colourful graffiti wall, and along the wall are simple 2 seater tables with black and orange chairs, adding a pop of colour. The cafe is a bit less cozy and has more of an industrial atmosphere to it. I ordered my latte and sat at the communal table by the large window. Unless there is an event at BC place, this area of town is not too busy on the weekends. The latte was just as good as the one in Richmond, a good balance of the espresso and the milk, and not too acidic at all. As they had just opened, the owner at the shop was present. He explained to me that they blend their espresso beans, to get consistent flavours every time. I anticipate that I will be visiting this location more frequently, as it's less busy than other coffee shops in downtown and certainly with better coffee than Starbucks. read more

Nice coffee shop with very warm and welcoming ambiance just steps from Robson Street. They serve single origin coffees, sell beans and also offer a nice selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads and other baked goods. I really appreciate the vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options - it's especially nice when a coffee shop offers something gluten free that isn't a chocolate brownie! I'll be coming back to try more - the Americano I had was delicious! read more

I always try to have a cup of good coffee when in a town that has many offerings that are not Starbucks, Dunkin, Seattle Roasters.. this was just down the block from my hotel and i wanted to see what they had. The interior is quite sparce, an awful lot of open space with only a handful of tables for two - an industrial feel, maybe that is what they are going for. I ordered a Flat white, and bought a bag of beans to bring home. Flat white small $3.50 - i would say it was about 6 ounces. The beans were 340 grams, which is not quite 12 ounces and was $19. While the above is Canadian, not US dollars, i still think both on the pricey side. Look forward to trying a few other spots in Vancouver to compare them to. read more

What a great little coffee shop. They have a simple menu, but what they offer is great. Cool decor. They have a 'flat white' on the menu, but I asked for a 'flat brown' and told them what was in it.. (hint: it's a flat white with chocolate ganache). It was a great cup of coffee!!! We're visiting from Edmonton and wished they were there... I'd get coffee from them everyday! read more

Rocanini Coffee Roasters - Cappuccino on top and they made a special 'flat brown' for me. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A little too hipster to my taste. Like the time I asked for a double long espresso. Barista said it couldn't be done and was most un-accomodating about it (most folks who don't really agree give you the option of running it longer or adding water afterwards). Customer was not always right here, and after a bit of back and forth I suggested that - as it's a common request and my preference - she might want to check out how Starbucks did it. Big eye roll, disdainful reply, and she offered me my money back. What was weird, beyond her attitude, was her colleague manning the till was watching and could have defused the situation at any time by saying "add more water or run longer (make the idiot happy)" to her. Nope, let's stay in Coffee Puritans Land instead. Or the time I bought some coffee beans which were incredibly tough to grind in my manual grinder and didn't taste much the better for it. Or the rather spartan and uncomfortable straight backed chairs. But, hey, having a vinyl record player makes it all muuuuch better. read more

Comfortable space , I never had trouble with seating here. Best for enjoying their drip coffee ( yes, they also do latte art on all lattes) in the space. I had their GF date squares before and that was pretty good. I always see people here on laptops or reading the paper, or meeting up for a chat with friends. Love the decor, wooden communal table, rest of double tables and a bench for seating. They also have music (semi indie) drifting from their speakers next to the record player which inspires a creative environment. I do love Starbucks across the street, at the same time I also appreciate boutique dedicated coffee shops like Rocanini . It's a different vibe. =) read more

A quiet coffeeshop with great coffee and music, definitely a gem in the area. It is best to just enjoy their coffee (roasted by themselves) alone in the midst of rainy day in Vancouver. read more

I popped into this Yaletown coffee shop downtown because I enjoy trying new places and I am a fan of coffee. Before heading over, I did some research on Yelp and saw that most people rated this place 4 or 5 stars-therefore it must be good. This is not the only location in the lower mainland (there are locations in Steveston and Kerrisdale), but this may have been the first time I tried Rocanini. I loved it. I ordered a latte (they have soy and almond milke +$0.60), and they do latte art even in the to-go cups (i'm a sucker for latte art I know...). The coffee is scrumptious! $3.95 for a 12oz which is standard I supposed, but they only had that size to choose from, I should have asked if they did smaller and larger sizes (because people, let's admit, like options). However, there are options to be had here, from americanos to drip coffee so all coffee lovers can rejoice! I also enjoyed the decor, the music emitting from a good 'ol record player. They also sell Chemix makers, grinders, whole beans, and goodies any coffee feind would get giddy about. I'd come back for sure :) read more

I'm a simple person. I give 5 stars to coffee shops that can make a proper machiatto, have a nice environment to work from (remote worker right here) and friendly staff. My rating says it all :) read more

Great place for coffee, quiet place to study and work. I went there to read some papers. The music they played was quit soft and helped me concentrate on my paper. Other customers were also working and reading which made me easy to read! The service was great too Definitely recommended if you want a place to study and have a coffee! read more

I love this nice and quiet Coffee shop in Yaletown. Great spot to get some work done in a beautiful part of town. Baristas are lovely and helpful, wifi is good but it lacks power outlets! Besides that I've been hitting it up all week on my vacation to Vancouver. read more

Rocanini Coffee Roasters - Lots of table space available and great latte's! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Met up with a friend for a chat and we ended up in Rocanini Coffee Roasters . Comfy little hipster coffee shop , just the way I like it! Lot of variety to choose from . The display of sweets looked very tempting. I had a very nice herbal tea that I loved specially at that cold rainy day . I would definitely go Back to try their sweets next time! read more

I really like this cute little coffee shop. I got the rose latte and it was delicious. This place is not too loud either so it's nice if you're looking for a relatively quieter spot. Also - they sell cartems donuts here! Yum. read more

I ordered a chai latte to go and 2 minutes later I saw paper in my drink and then I realized it was the chai tea bag so I asked the barista, do I leave it in? Her answer was a simple "depends on how strong you want it to be" so I left confused as I've never had a chai latte with the tea bag left in. As soon as I tasted my drink, it tasted like warm milk and no chai, actually no flavor whatsoever. I paid 4.80 for a cup of warm milk and I am very disappointed in their lack of ability to make a simple chai latte. Won't be coming back. read more

I spend a lot of time in coffee shops and hardly ever feel the urge to review them. This place tho, man, the coffee just tastes so good! I took advantage of their after 3 pm "happy hour" and had an iced latte. It was nice and strong and just delicious. Probably in my top 10 lattes of all time. I love the vibe as well. The mellow indie playlist is spot on. I wish they were open later because I often work at the Starbucks across the street in the evenings all the way to the 8 pm closing time. read more

A fabulous coffee house conveniently located on Beatty - a short walk from our hotel and BC Place stadium. The coffee is superb; the decor (great lighting fixtures!) is funky and welcoming; the old-school stereo (Technics amp/receiver and Fisher speakers - yay!) is inspired; and the staff are friendly and super attentive. Best coffee in the area (and trust us, we explored around!). read more

Good space, good music, good food, and great coffee. There's a ton of good coffee places around Vancouver, but it's pretty rare to see a slow pour coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Some of the flavors are easily my favorite coffee out of anywhere, outside of Vancouver or not. I've had the food a couple times, a breakfast sandwich and the caesar bacon wrap, both are solid too. The only downside I can see is a bit quiet, it'd be great for this place to catch on and get more activity around it, but so far, it's my go to spot in the morning. read more

Great coffee, awesome service! Very cool equipment, I'll try cold brewed next time. Pricey but worth it so be prepared read more

I usually frequent the Starbucks directly across the street, however I decided to support the "little guy" by coming here... I ordered a chai tea latte. It was good. Made quickly and served misto style with a large tea bag. The service was adequate. What I would call "typical Vancouver service"; not overly friendly, genuine or warm, but not rude either. The server seemed to be busy with her closing procedures (even though it's 45mins to closing) and banging and clanging cups and dishes as loud as humanly possible and cleaning furiously. When coming in for a relaxing cuppa, I would expect light chit chat and friendliness, rather than her concentration on the dishes. read more

Great cappuccinos. I bit on the hot side - next time will request a lower temperature for the milk. Excellent flavor!

Nice coffee. When I first arrived in Van I visited and needed my caffeine hit. I actually wanted a nice filter coffee, but they do not offer this, so suggested pour over (as I do make every day), so I thought why not. Coffee was pretty good, but not outstanding. It was not that hot...mostly because pour over by the means of the method, is not that hot (it shouldn't be made with boiling water anyway), unless you really heat the cup up first...which you can't really with a take out cup. Price was rather steeped, but pour over coffee does require a lot of "labour" versus other methods. Gentleman at the till was very pleasant and we chinwagged about coffee. Would like to try a long-black here to really try their roasts. Shame you don't do filter though. read more

I always want to try the coffee at this place after researching on coffee roasters in town. Came here with my coworker and got myself a cappuccino and my coworker got the drip coffee. I also bought No. 3 espresso beans. My cappuccino was excellent; the barista sure knew how to make a cappuccino. The texture of the froth milk was absolutely perfect and creamy. The taste was a bit on light side but it was very good. That night I made the cappuccino with new beans I bought from here for my husband and myself. My husband liked the flavour also. I highly recommend a cappuccino from here and buy beans for their espresso machine for home. read more

We spent the morning searching for this place. It is a local, cute shop. There are not many options but sometimes it makes things easier to decide. I got tea like I always do and sat there to enjoy the scenery. The coffee shop also had this cool cold brew contraption. I have never seen something like that before. read more

Cool open concept working space-like seating area, where you could get some work done while enjoying some of the finest coffees known to man. A bit short on baked goodies selection, but the coffee more than makes up for it. read more

Great coffee, love the mocha and almond croissant which I get every time I come here but unacceptable poor service. The barista or whatever special position they think they are in have a unfriendly and uptight attitude that as a customer I can tell from their facial expression and tone of voice. Hate it. read more

Small coffee portions for the price but it's very chill and quaint. Had a breakfast sandwich was quite tasty . Lots of space

Why are the female staff here always in a bad mood? It's across the street from our office which makes the location convenient but we're sick of their bad attitude. Their coffee is expensive and not that good. read more

ordered mocha for $4.75 but was disappointed. I didnt taste much of chocolate flavor added to the coffee. the coffee is strong but i cant really taste the milk and chocolate portion of the mocha. it is more like water down mocha. read more

Brand new location as in 7 months old. Discovered this location on the way to a brewery with Gareth. Came back the following day for a decent latte. Very small location with some treats. I wish they were open later on game days. Good customer service. Nice clean interior. read more

Friendly staff and high quality coffee - a bit on the pricy side but you get what you pay for.

I was pretty happy when I saw this spot open up on my walk to work. More coffee = happiness. I had a meeting nearby, and Rocanini was the perfect spot! Around 10 am, it was busy but not loud. The staff were friendly, and I had a giant latte in a big mug in just a few minutes. Average price, just under $4. The decor is hipster but welcoming, and they've got some cool stuff - I like the fancy coffee decanters and old record player.

Awesome coffee shop in Vancouver near Yaletown. We had pour over coffees and enjoyed them so much that we bought the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha beans to bring home with us to Seattle. I wish they shipped to the US because I would order their beans so that I could drink their coffee all the time. The two employees working were pleasant and we will definitely go back on our next visit to Vancouver. read more
