Yaletown
More infoRocanini has been quietly roasting its own beans since 2010, and its Yaletown cafe solves the problem every downtown coffee date hits, which is nowhere to sit. It's comfortable and generously seated, the kind of unhurried room where a quick coffee becomes ninety minutes and nobody hovers for your table. Espresso, pour-over and cold brew, all done without ceremony. The David Lam Park seawall is a short walk south.
Order espresso or a pour-over and, crucially, actually sit down, the whole appeal here is the seating and the calm. Take a table, get comfortable, let the conversation run. When you're ready, Yaletown's shops and the David Lam Park seawall are a few blocks south. Budget an hour, easily two.
