Not exactly near downtown, but the place with the best pastries is Thomas Haas in Kits. Sit down, get a croissant and a coffee, and enjoy.

Speaking of outside downtown. The UBC Bean around the world is ๐ฅ
Second floor of the Beanery is really nice too
Super basic but the Breka on Davie isn't too bad
Breka is a Vancouver staple and I won't hear anyone trashing it
My only gripe about any Breka location is the difficulty grabbing a chair during the busy hours. If you can get a table, it's great.
New Amsterdam Cafe
Used to be called Pacific Coffee Roasters, but the coffee shop just outside the VPL on Georgia is quite nice
Called 'Lovelarte' now.
Didn't even close the doors for the changeover, new signage just showed up one day and branded patio umbrellas the next. I couldn't tell if it was a name change or a management change, but to the best of my knowledge it was never up for sale / re-lease.
Coffee still sucks, but the space is lovely.
Yeah, I ended up stopping by this weekend. I actually thought the mocha I had was decent, but YMMV
Ooh, I forgot about that one. I was pleasantly surprised by the vibe there. Might head there later actually.
