More infoTimbertrain roasts its own beans and serves them in a room styled like the dining car of a train that only visits nice places: dark wood, brass fittings and flattering light. It poured Vancouver's first nitro cold brew, but the real event is the slow bar, where rotating single origins get the hand-pour treatment while you pretend to read the tasting notes. The Steam Clock waits outside.
Order one drink from the espresso side and one hand-poured filter from the slow bar so you get the full range of the house roast. The room is the draw, so sit inside rather than grabbing it to go, and aim for a corner table. You're steps from Water Street and Waterfront Station; budget an hour and let it run long.
