Took me a while to get myself inside here– I used to live in this area but moved. A friend lives nearby, and took me here– it doesn’t look like much from the outside driving by. Far out Coffee Post is a really great place! Nice space with small tables, and then a larger room with a long, wooden ‘library’ style table– nice, clean and trendy looking. Excellent coffee and their breakfast sandwiches and baked goods look divine. There was a lineup outside when we left– deservedly so. There isn’t a cool coffee bar in this hood except for JJ Bean– so plenty of room for other indy places like this one. Really nice, friendly staff and they make the best lattes ever. I swear it’s a thick layer of crème brûlée on the top every time I’ve ordered one. They offer refill prices on second cups which is nice and a welcome change from the big chain you-know-who shops.

I was recommended this place by another Unilocaler on August 14th and book marked it for future reference. They close at 3 pm on the weekday, therefore, that was a challenge to get to. I had to wait for the weekend. The initial reviews on the London Fog is what also encouraged me to check this place out. I came here to work on my zine and some holiday crafts for a few hours before heading to some craft fairs later that day as well as selling at some fairs. Thankfully it was sunny as the sun shone inside making me feel good. There is a lot of window space. There’s a large communal table which is perfect for large projects. It is also an easy way to make friends. Limited selection on the menu but they make whatever most coffee shops provide in terms of drink preparation. Bonus is that they have a mini arcade in the back. I played a few rounds of AC/DC pinball while sipping my LF. Prices are very reasonable and cheap.

This is one of the best coffee shops in East Vancouver. Simple, reasonably priced, well made coffees, delicious treats, friendly staff, pinball, clean bathrooms, a stoop out front… what else do you want?

There are posts on this Unilocal page saying they have a vegan burrito option, however they do not. I went it in and asked for a vegan burrito and they told me they only have a veggie burrito(which has egg in it) and a sausage burrito. When I asked if they could make it vegan they said no(the girl at the counter + the guy actually making the burrito). They were both polite & nice, and it looks like a cool spot but don’t go there if you are expecting to find a vegan burrito.

Best Flat White in Vancouver. Hands down. This place also has 6 very well maintained Pinball tables and sells the iconic Hastings/Sunrise T-shirts. Lots of regulars and a really great community feel. Plenty of students come and study here as well.

Coffee is way too strong and sour, BUT… THECHOCOLATECHIPCOOKIES. I am a cookie connoisseur. and I vote yes to this. I think they’re my favourite in Vancouver, and they are from a grandma’s recipe. Divine!

I don’t live around here, but I was in the area and thought I’d poke in to check it out. What did they put in my iced latte? I don’t know, but it was amazing. So creamy! Literally the best iced latte I’ve ever had. I won’t hesitate to come back next time i’m in the area.

i love this place so much. its very inspiring to see a small business doing so well in an area where there arent a lot of shops. i feel they have captured the essence of what the hastings sunrise neighbourhood is all about. i miss their original menu, but i know it was too much to keep up with in the small space they are working in and one chef. i wish they were still offering some of their original meal items. the coffee is great as well as the baked goods, these guys put a lot of love into their work!

Just moved back to the neighbourhood after being gone for a year and a half. This is a block away from my place and I couldn’t be happier. It’s exactly what the neighbourhood needed! So greatful this exists.

Stumbled upon this place this morning by accident. So perfect! Best breakfast burritos in the city, very good coffee, and excellent service and music. What more could one ever want? Check this place out, I think you’ll love it.

So excited. We don’t have to walk to JJ bean anymore, this place is so close! Delicious soy latte. Brooklyn was awesome and deciphered my lack of caffeine coffee order. They have vegan options for goodies I will have to try another time…

This place is quintessentially East Van in all the best ways. I’ll start by saying that I didn’t know what to order when I walked in the door. I’m one of those people who fight an internal epic battle between coffee and tea beverages. On this particular day, tea won out. I asked for a London Fog, but asked if I could substitute Earl Grey for Irish Breakfast, as sometimes I find Earl Grey a bit bitter. The guy taking my order asked me to smell the Earl Grey they used before committing to change it up. Turns out, it was amazing. I went with his recommendation and its by far the best London Fog I’ve had– hands down. I also had a chocolate croissant as it was recommended as well. The buttery pastry filled with chocolate ganache did not disappoint. So, East Van peeps, rejoice as there is a newish coffee slinging kid in this town with something to offer.

I was looking forward to visiting this little place that I kept passing by everyday to work. It’s small around 10 – 12 seatings at maximum. Simply decorated with neat artworks pinned to the wall. I ordered a cup of cappuccino to go, though there were also few other food items such as two kinds of pie(one was blueberries I think) and a few food items like grilled cheese among other things. The price was reasonable, food were ~$ 6.50 and most 6 oz drinks were $ 3.50. I didn’t ask which roasters they use for their beans but my cappuccino was more like a latte? I tasted more milk than the coffee itself. The staff were really friendly, and the place reminds me of all the hole in the wall coffee places in New York. I think there’s certainly a room for improvements and it will really stand on its own!

So glad I have found a better option for coffee in the east village! Im so sick of JJbean, half the time their coffee tastes like garbage. The other options around here is starbucks… no thank you. I had an americano, and it was delicious. I love that they have sandwiches with organic eggs. Next time i’ll have to try one.

We needed this! This poor little corner in my hood now offers up a charming little spot to snag a coffee while you wait for your bus. My mocha was made by Bob, a charming and adorable guy oozing with East Van ambition. Local nibbles, fresh made coffee, and convieniently located. They deserve your coffee change. Support local ambition!

I had a crazy dream that a coffee bar would appear on this corner — and it did! Not just any café but a sweet and genuine, for-the-love-of-the-bean kind of shop. I now have a feeling this friendly little spot is going to become a neighbourhood phenomenon. Serving up Origins coffee and treats from East Village Bakery and Black Rook Bakehouse, just up the street.(with some gluten free nummies too.) Screaming of local and EastVan, the vibe is just right.
