Time for another poll and this time the subject matter is coffee. Who’s serves up the best coffee in Kits? Media darling 49th Parallel, veteran Kits Coffee Company, West 4th newcomer Take 5, The Elysian Room, or Wired Monk. The list goes on.

    Kits Beach Starbucks @ Cornwall & Yew.

  2. Erik says:

    Arbutus Coffee (Arbutus & 6th). Their coffee is probably only surpassed by 49th, but they certainly get the edge for decor and their amazing, home-made, baked goods.

  3. My pitch is for Vancouver’s Best Coffee, West 4th and Bayswater. Yum.

    Kits Coffee at 4th & Yew – been there forever!

    My fave? Cornerstone Coffee at 4th & Stephens – great staff, great coffee, hands-down winner 🙂

    I agree with Ben. In fact, he’s completely right.

    IMHO:
    -The Italian Café on 4th and Bayswater for espresso and espresso-based beverages, especially since soy-milk doesn’t cost extra.
    -Arbutus & 6th for warm atmosphere, conversation-ability and rustic hearty muffins.
    -Starbucks for brewed coffee, because of it’s consistency, quality, option to order a French-press and resonable brewed coffee price.

    If you haven’t tried Arbutus coffee do yourself a serious favour and give it a go, the “Bean around the world” coffee is so much better here than elsewhere and the baked goods are to die for…
    My 2 cents worth…

    Definitely the Corner Cup at 4th and Blenheim. Great (organic/fair-trade) coffee, super friendly staff, and yummy treats (including gelato for the summer!)
