Espresso yourself.
Why locals love it
An idea born in Italy, and executed wonderfully here in Vancouver, Milano Coffee started in 1984 and was pursued by Starbucks to be bought out. No thanks, we like our Milano Coffee just the way it is. A great space to hang out, do some work, or relax while exploring Gastown, Milano Coffee will become a favourite for visitors, as it has for locals.
Why you should visit it
Everyone needs a coffee, so why not have it be an amazing one? Located in Gastown, where you for sure need to see if you are a visitor, you can stop in and grab an espresso like no other, and a yummy treat as well. The staff is friendly and kind, and isn't going to judge you if you don't know coffee as well as they do. That is always a bonus!
Special tip
More Locations: An espresso tasting bar on West 8th, and a location in the West End that serves coffee AND gelato! Yum. See website for more info.
