Many options for breakfast sandwiches, donuts and coffee/tea. My favorite is the lavender Earl grey Bismark. I've tried a few Earl grey donuts around Vancouver, but this was the most unique. The lavender topping wasn't too overpowering, and the Earl grey filling was surprisingly better than I ever thought it could be. It was cool, there was a lot of filling but not too much that made it messy, and it had a very good taste. I also had the brisket special breakfast sandwich with egg and jam. It was good, but I think I will try the Doug next time. Service was good and food came out quick.

Why 5 stars? Because I'll never forget that beautiful Old Fashioned Salted Caramel.
--- --- ---
We were on a 5-day vacation between Vancouver and Banff, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the old fashioned was one of the best things I ate on the whole trip. We didn't even necessarily plan to visit 49th Parallel, and I definitely didn't plan on ordering a donut, but it looked so appealing that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. And I'm so glad I didn't.
It was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect flavor. If I lived nearby, I would have a dangerous addiction to these delightful slices of heaven. Unfortunately, nearby... I am not.
I also enjoyed my coffee and my salmon bagel very much. But the salted caramel old fashioned stole the show. Bless you, donut chef.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 1 - Jun 26, 20241 check-in
Apparently, 49th Parallel Coffee is one of the best in Vancouver. We were able to find parking nearby so we could stop by for our first coffee of the day. I was surprised that they didn't have any specialty coffee offerings (like a pour over) or even cold brew. They had the typical espresso offerings along with non-coffee options and seasonal drinks (a couple of my friends enjoyed their lavender lemonade).
I ended up getting a flat white which was pretty strong, just like how I wanted. I could definitely taste the espresso, which was on the darker side. Not my favorite, but still enjoyable. The cup and plate they served the drink with has a pleasant blue shade. Not a whole lot of seating inside, but we were able to grab a spot outdoors.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 10, 2024
I'm writing this on behalf of my hubs who says 49th Parallel has the best espresso and coffee drinks in Vancouver, and quite possibly, the whole Northwest! He drinks A LOT of coffee and also grinds his own beans and has pulled many espresso shots so he knows his stuff. He just loves this place. Service is friendly, the turquoise cups are super cute, and the donuts are dang good too.

Stopped by for breakfast! I was tempted by The Doug, the strawberry Bismarck and an iced latte. Quite a busy spot so expect a wait for the breakfast sandwich. I really liked it - quite filling with good flavor with the caramelized onions. The donut was solid and the iced latte was perfect for a summer day.

They have a great assortment of doughnuts - I always enjoy the lemon bismarck and salted caramel doughnuts but decided to go for their featured doughnut over the weekend. The coffee is consistently great - their lattes are very smooth.

We loved this spot! We loved it so much that we actually had breakfast here twice and I still can't decide if I liked their salmon toast or breakfast sandwiches better. My husband liked their coffee and we also had the maple bacon donut and the mango passion fruit donut. I think the latter was my favorite on the sweets. It was a busy spot but the food came out pretty fast and there was ample seating. They had nice cold water available. The service was very nice (as is everyone I've met in Canada so far) and the food came out pretty fast and was well priced. Good people watching on the outdoor seating too.

Exceptional coffee at this comfortable location. The bakery items are freshly made and are superior. Freshly made is key point here
Breakfast sandwiches are also freshly made and very very good.
When you see a coffee shop full of people, you know that you found a good spot and this is one of them. Highly recommended.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 10, 2024
While in town for work, I dropped by for a quick breakfast. I opted for a medium Venezuelan coffee, a matcha chocolate vegan gf donut, and the Avo (no pesto, no aioli). I didn't have high hopes for the donut but it was SO good. It was perfectly rich and not overpowering and the matcha flavors definitely came through strongly. I ~really~ enjoyed it.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the coffee so much that I went back once more during my stay in Vancouver. When I got the large Venezuelan coffee, it wasn't as good (I'm not sure if the barista was rushed or if they were being more mindful of the condensed milk or what it may have been, but the flavors weren't the same).
The service here is fairly quick, and while finding seating on the weekend is a bit tough, there are plenty of options indoor and outdoor.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sammie S.Thornhill, Canada347181772May 7, 2024
In the lobby of an office tower, nestled in between hotels, this place was busy when we arrived and waited at 9am. We appreciated the variety of options available and the regular and decaf Americanos were excellent.
The salmon was plentiful on the tasty sourdough. The coffee cruller tasted of black coffee, not too sweet, and the texture was like a churro.
We enjoyed eating in the comfy seating area.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1
