Caffe Artigiano

Went in to see if the had the coffee I’ve been searching for to sip again after over a year… still no! They have the same one or two and only change it after every few months bc apparently the one I want is not available to them all the time. While I understand that, I also think that it has something to do with the popularity of that coffee I had before. It was too good that I’m betting no one ordered anything but that and it doesn’t help profitability. Also, it allows them to upcharge for pressed coffee if you don’t like their usual selection for drip. Yesterday was ethiopian. The staff were kind to help me locate something that may resemble the blend and allowed me to have a pressed coffee for the same price as regular drip to see if I can find that roast again which I loved! Unfortunately, they gave me a ‘dark roast’ italian — when I expressely asked for a medium roast bc that’s the only one I drink normally anywhere I go with this sensitive tummy!

It is absolutely worth it to go there if you haven’t been to a museum in a long time. When I walked in, the average age of customers dropped by 13 years…

Coffee is ok, no organic milk option, therefor I’m not trying lattes or cappuccinos.
Tea is lovely as it comes in loose leaf version and steeping in a teapot.
There is also no gluten free options for baked goods and sandwiches :-P
Staff is not very open or friendly.
The colours of the seating area is a little depressing… They could have done a much better job with the décor.

Great coffee, baked goods and sandwiches. Neighbourhood and friendly feel — great add to neighbourhood.

I ordered a ham and cheese croissant, it had only one slice of ham in it. Not impressed. The staff were very friendly though.

I travel all the way across to North Van simply to visit this coffee shop :) Braving Downtown traffic, windy bridges, all in the name of great coffee!
Lovely location, big enough that you’ll always have a seat, indoors and out. Is nice to be amongst trees :) Their Americanos are my fave, hence the travelling!
Please Caffe Artigiano please stop closing all your locations close to me *weep*

Great espresso here, they pride themselves in getting it right and making sure they test it during the day. Great service and always friendly. My choice for a espresso on the north shore. Also, they have a great patio.

This is the most beautiful of all the Caffe Artigiano locations. Really. Floor to ceiling windows looking out to woodlands. Every table has a view of North Shore nature.
The turkey on cranberry bread sandwich tasted more delicious here than at any other location. Must be the fresh mountain air.
Lovely staff. Yummy food. Stellar location. Lots of street parking. Just gorgeous. Go now!
