We are huge fans of Caffe Rustico. The coffee is fantastic and the place is super cozy and welcoming - you get the feeling that you’re part of the community when you’re there. They are so helpful, even with last minute event booking. We've hosted an event, Reflection Cafe, there a couple times. It’s a meet up for folks with all kinds of abilities and disabilities (including cognitive disabilities). Kurt and his team were flexible and make things go very smoothly, they let us take up the whole space! We really like the space and vibe and would recommend to others.
The friendliest cafe in Vancouver? It's pretty rare you are remembered by name on your second visit. This was a favourite lunch spot when we lived closer to the area. We visited again recently and it was still like being welcomed home. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed with regulars. It's common to see people working on their laptops here.
In the past I've had their carbonara and alfredo pasta, but had their caprese panini with prosciutto and pesto last time. I like how they include a piece of garlic toast or mini pasta salad. My husband had their pizza and it looked so good. He finished it before I got to ask for a bite...
If you are gluten free, you can substitute pasta for rice. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well.
It's a wonderful spot with character for a relaxing lunch. I wish there were more places like it.
A second home. This is a homely cafe among busy streets, yet no matter how busy it gets, Mario never hesitated to strike up a conversation with anyone who walks in. He serves a variety of quality coffees and diverse (not to mention delicious sandwiches, pizza and pizza).
Recently, Mario had partnered up with local artist to display their works at his cafe. This does nothing less than improve the atmosphere and decor.
This place is like a second home.
