We needed a stop off for something bitter after lunch (as one does) and hubby decided to push for something sweet too. Was NOT expecting this. The coffee was well made and delicious, the Chai Latte was also pretty bomb. But dang those doughnuts... Mine was freshly glazed and the apple and bacon fritter was incredible, not overly sweet but just scrumptious!
Sheepie and I have been coming to this cafe for a while. Sheepie loves donuts, so we started off with Timmy’s donuts. Then it was Breka. Then moved onto Cartems. Now it’s consistently 49th. He can’t get enough of them, lol. Forty Ninth Parallel Cafe & Lucky’s Doughnuts is a hipsterish cafe on the corner of Main and 13th. It’s always bustling with people chatting, on their laptops or reading a good book. I especially like the booth (which there is unfortunately only one of), that gives you a nice private table and seems to bounce of the sounds of the crowd away. The four sofa seats are nice, especially during the winter time when the fireplace is burning. It’s very cosy, but the noise level can be quite high for my comfort level, hence liking the booth and sofa area, not just for physical comfort.
The lucky’s donut is one of the best choices in Vancouver. And the coffee, food, atmosphere, seating and music are all good. We enjoyed a short break in 49 parallel at afternoon. Definitely I will bring my HK friends to there again.
