Milano Coffee Roasters Vancouver

North of Broadway

Daniela from Vancouver

About me Brazilian born and raised, I came to Vancouver on vacation and decided then that this was the place I wanted to be. I moved here a couple of years later, and this has been my home now since 2010. I work for a software company, play volleyball and have taken up gymnastics again. When I’m not at work, I am out exploring this beautiful city with my dogs, scavenger hunting...
""Milano Coffee Roasters" in Vancouver is a true Italian coffee oasis. I can personally never stray from La Futura or the Conca d'Oro espresso..."

Just a block North of busy Broadway street lies an Italian coffee oasis. With a mix of mid-century and wooden decor, the exposed wooden beams and large window frames make Milano a cozy and elegant place to stop for coffee break, and relax. 

On a sunny day, sit on their nice balcony patio and enjoy the view of the north shore mountains. You can even enjoy that view from indoors if it's too cold outside; the floor to ceiling windows keep the inside bright with a rustic vibe.

Choose from their menu of coffees and looseleaf teas, but if you're an espresso fan, then this is the place to have it. There are always different options of coffee types to choose from. I personally can't stray from La Futura (that butterscotch taste is the gift that keeps on giving) or the Conca d'Oro (cocoa and vanilla, the classic combo), but if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then so is coffee. To each their own. I also treat myself to some coffee grains from time to time, it's nice to get that quality coffee in your home.

If you'd like to nibble on something, then the lavender bars are very nice. Carrot cakes are always good too.

About me Brazilian born and raised, I came to Vancouver on vacation and decided then that this was the place I wanted to be. I moved here a couple of years later, and this has been my home now since 2010. I work for a software company, play volleyball and have taken up gymnastics again. When I’m not at work, I am out exploring this beautiful city with my dogs, scavenger hunting through my favorite thrift shops, wandering through Granville Island market or Main street. In the summertime, I like to be outside as much as possible, mostly riding my bike, hiking, or just having ...
