They say a cappuccino a day keeps the doctor away — right? Anyway, Burnaby has a great coffee scene and we wanted to share some of our favourite places around the city. Our order always includes a cappuccino and a croissant so these are the places that do both right.
Fior Di Latte · 4233 Hastings St · ★ 4.7
Pair their cappuccino with one of their unique pastries (the hazelnut-chocolate double-baked croissants is hard to walk past) and you've got a near-perfect morning. The matcha latte and gelato are draws in their own right, and the room — paintings on the walls, cozy and unhurried — makes it easy to stay longer than planned. Open daily 7 AM–9 PM.
Prado Café · 4321 Still Creek Dr · ★ 4.5
Prado's Still Creek location boasts a spacious, sleek interior — a place great for work chats. Grab a pastry to go with your amazing cappucino and settle in for the morning. Only open on weekdays, 7 AM–4 PM.
La Forêt · Burnaby · ★ 4.7
La Forêt is a Burnaby institution for good reason. Check out their special French pastries, sometimes with Asian-inspired flavours. The atmosphere leans whimsical and woodland-themed, which makes it a genuinely fun place to sit with a coffee. Expect a queue on weekends; it's worth it.
Chez Christophe · 4717 Hastings St · ★ 4.8
If you're serious about croissants, Chez Christophe is the answer. Pastry chef Christophe Bonzon trained in Europe and it shows — the croissants here are exceptional, with proper honeycomb layers and deep butter flavour. The cappuccino holds its own alongside them, which is all you really need. A small, focused shop that does what it does at a very high level. Check hours before you go; pastries sell out.
Burnaby’s coffee scene continues to grow, and these are just a few of the spots that consistently stand out to us. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cappuccino on the go or settling in for a slow morning with a croissant, there’s no shortage of great local options to explore. Have a favourite we should try next? Let us know—we’re always on the hunt for our next go-to café.
