Are you a foodie who wants to discover unique cafés in Vancouver to take Instagramable pictures and have fun? Here are cafés that offer original experiences through activities, drinks, pets and food. Enjoy!
Activities Cafés
Turquoise Goat Board Game Cafe (122 W Hastings St.)
A fun-cozy board game café where students only have to pay 5$ on Wednesdays to access various board games for up to three hours. If you’re familiar with Randolph in Quebec, I would say that it is pretty similar, but bonus point, you don’t have to have 18+ to enter. I would recommend looking up online maybe for some games that you and your friends would like to try out to spend most of your time playing. The food and drinks are a bit pricey, so maybe consider spending the afternoon there and going elsewhere for dinner.
TurF (2041 W 4th Avenue)
TurF is a “three-in-one” place where you can buy sporty clothes, take a workout class and then calmly eat healthy vegan food. Such a journey could motivate and invigorate you to get back in shape, overall making you feel better. If you are on the go, don’t worry, it proposes drinks, bakeries and vegan bowls as takeouts.
5FiftyGame Internet Cafe & Print (550 Seymour St.)
Looking for a place to chill and game with friends? If so, this well-equipped cybercafé is for you! You can enjoy multiple games (the ones available are listed on their website) on Pcs, PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Go with friends and have fun battling each other on the latest technologies. If you are a student or need to print something, you can even do so there and have access to Microsoft 365.
Drink Cafés
Momono tea shop (3010 Granville St.)
This cute tea shop offers unique and Instagramable bubble tea flavours and toppings. You can get a milk tea slush with a pudding topping, yogurt slush, fresh milk tea, fruit tea/slush, regular boba milk tea and cream cheese foams on your drink. The Crème Brûlée Milk Tea looks so good! You should try this out! 😊
TSUJIRI (1535-4777 Mcclelland Rd (30 min away from downtown))
This café has such a diverse menu! You can get Japanese green tea, lattes, shaved ice, matcha-cake blended, parfaits, soufflé pancake and noodles. However, you should try out the 70$ for two people Japanese High Tea set. It includes the following delicacies: premium kabusecha tea, soft serve ice cream, Shiratama Dango, Nama Chocolate, Macaron, Dacquoise, cakes/cookies of choice, sushi sandwiches, grilled unagi, salad and Shirodashi soup. For such a long list of food, it is worth your money.
Perfecto Café (605 Davie St.)
The ideal modern café for brunches that offer printed latte art design of your choice on your coffees, drinks like teas and matcha, delicious fresh pastries, sandwiches that you can eat on the go and gelato to refresh you on summer days.
Food Cafés
Café Monet (568 Robson St.)
A new Korean bakery where you can grab for lunch a smoothie, matcha or coffee with a sandwich on the go or spend some time with friends while enjoying Korean pastries (like fatcarons, milk bread, stuffed donuts and buns, yummy!) with shaved ice (there is the famous red bean flavour!).
Broyé Café (6414 Fraser St.)
A Japenese-Vietnamese café that proposes coffees, summery drinks (milk teas, matcha drinks and smoothies), sandwiches (all sorts of Banh Mi and paninis) and savoury desserts (moissants, kawaii melon pan, cheesecakes and cakes). The viral moissant is on their menu, a chewy mochi-croissant with various stuffings (mango yuzu, matcha, coffee…).
Little Café on Robson (1258 Robson St.)

Beaucoup Bakery (2150 Fir St.)
This is a well-known café-bakery with many regular clients because of the delicacy of the pastries. Their Breton cake, the Kouign Amann, is a staple there, which is a buttery cake with caramelized croissant layers with a pinch of salt. It also proposes cakes, croissants, scrolls and cookies that are ideal for satisfying your sweet craving.
Animal Cafés
The Bunny Cafe (1696 Venables St.)
A vegan café where you can enjoy some drinks, sugary snacks and ice cream while petting bunnies. This place also offers super cute bunny-themed merch with even rabbit food if you have one. If you want to visit, you should reserve because places are limited.
The café partners up with a rescue team to provide bunnies with a safe home where they can play together and be eventually adopted by loving families.
Catfe (2nd Floor of Tinseltown Mall, 88 W Pender St.)
A café where you can choose from various drinks (from cold to hot ones with or without caffeine), weekly flavoured vegan ice cream and snacks while enjoying a cat as a companion. The café also proposes cat merch and some supplies for cat owners.
