I Love You Coffee
Here’s a quirky place with an affectionate name. I Love You Coffee Shop is located near mission and it’s easy to miss considering it is downstairs from a convenience store (Happy Together). The charming, brightly painted walls adorned with ACAD grad style artwork and second hand furnishings throughout the cafe make this a truly genuine spot. You’ll find the owner, Dan Murray, hanging out/working/DJing most days - and the coffee is pretty good too.
NHBR Coffee
NHBR (Neighbour) is a small coffee shop on 16th Street in Altadore with a convenient street side walk-up window. They serve good beans and have a refreshingly healthy menu — no surprise since this is the sister shop to Our Daily Brett. Add a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie to your coffee for the full morning experience.
MONOGRAM COFFEE
Monogram is the all-around great coffee spot with everything you would expect from top notch beans to expertly baked goodies. Pop-in to their Altadore location, or check them out in Britannia.
ANALOG
I can’t ignore Analog when putting together a coffee list. Located on what might be the busiest corner of 17th Ave, these guys are pumping out their own Fratello coffee at an alarming rate. It’s a great spot if you can to snag a counter seat or a table for 2 for that meeting. For the coffee shop entrepreneurs it’s perfect for people watching, and you won’t bother anyone by hunkering down for an hour or two.
