Commercial Street Cafe
Cafe owners Chris, Pete, and Nadene are long time residents of the neighbourhood and strive to create a welcoming space for all to enjoy. Our brunch and lunch menu changes daily, based on what's available fresh and locally - with regular favourites on the menu by popular demand. Fresh baked muffins served all day, accompanied by a range of baked goodness, from croissants to cinnamon buns, and also including vegan and gluten-free options.

Our seasonal menu rotates throughout the year to incorporate the freshest ingredients that we can get. Cafe owners Pete, Nadene, and Chris have been long time residents of the neighbourhood and came together in 2012 to open what would soon become a staple of the community. When not working as an editor and graphic designer down the street, you'll find co-owner Nadene Renby busing tables at the cafe.

Had a sandwich with my drink. It was not good, it definitely wasn't cheap and it was small so I was expecting that the taste was going to be on point. Nope. I would describe the sandwich as dry and lacking flavour worthy of $11. I recommend the Flourist bakery on the other end of the block, its much better.
Service was good still. Just the products let it down.

My bf took me there for a quick coffee and I found this place to be charming. They have the art hanging on wall for sale and even selling the ice cream pops. We grab coffee, tea and a piece of chocolate zucchini loaf. I really like the loaf! I admit I am not a big fans of zucchini and to my surprise, I did not taste the zucchini at all and it had few chocolate chips too.

I go nearly daily for the BEST cafe latte in Vancouver made by wonderful, friendly staff. It's a fabulous place with delicious coffee and food

Well if you live nearby, it's one of the only coffee shops so it is convenient.
The shop is in an old heritage building & definitely has a cool vibe. Coffee is mediocre however and the lattes are way too milky. Like every single time.
The cinnamon buns keep me coming back!

I’ve been coming to Commercial Street Cafe for the past 4 years and I was always welcomed so kindly. They have some delicious items on their menu and it’s such a cute place to hang out. My favourite food item so far is the muffins as well as the smoked salmon bagel - SO GOOD. Highly recommend this cafe!

A stellar location for a cute coffee shop. Delicious treats, delightful staff and quick service. The cafe currently has plenty of outside seating. This is a go to spot if you’re in the area!

Since the pandemic Commercial Street Cafe has gone downhill. Food quality is awful and not much to choose from. Coffee is great! But that’s about it!

Charming country kitchen cafe nestled into a growing neighbourhood hub with genuinely friendly welcoming staff, great grub & they make a great Dirty Ice Chai. Though unable to sit inside, there are tables & chairs on the sidewalk & they've a cute garden area with bench on south side of cafe. Even their bright red detailed logo is appealing.

Nice quiet cafe on the corner of a quiet street with both indoor and outdoor seating. Has a simple coffee and tea menu with baked goods and some simple dishes; bottled juices and drinks are also available. It is quieter than your typical coffee shop but always busy - most likely locals from the areas.

Sweet little cafe with nice options for food and drinks.
The staff was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice.
Our drinks were good. My meal was a little different than I anticipated from the description and it was the only fault for me. Likely better to give too much info than too little.

Great location, nice people, nice patio, friendly atmosphere! Good coffee (maybe the most expensive drip coffee in Vancouver) at over $3 for a 160z cup but still great place.

Best coffee shop in my mind 💓 Chai lattes are amazing. Atmosphere is great, lots of tables for studying. Tons of food and snacks. Love that they have gluten free and vegan options. Music is perfect. Having the… tables outside on warm days are so nice. And their espresso is spot on. I find many lattes taste almost burnt or bitter - but not Commercials :)

A buddy has his business across the street from the Cafe', so I make it a point to drop in when I'm in the area. I love supporting Independent Operators who are Friendly & serve Quality products. 5 Stars ✨
