Campus Coffee at Great Dane

A warm little roaster-cafe on the UBC campus doing proper espresso, fresh pastries, and house bagels, an easy first stop before the gardens or the beach.

The date

Great Dane is the campus antidote to chain coffee, a snug room near the UBC Life building pulling careful espresso and baking its own pastries and bagels through the morning. It's the kind of place where the barista remembers the order and the window seats fill with people reading. Grab a flat white and a fresh bake, then point yourselves at whatever's next, the Botanical Garden, Nitobe, or the walk down to Spanish Banks are all minutes away.
