14 BEST Cafes in British Columbia for Post Covid-19 Visit 2020
While we are all in this challenging situation, you can just imagine the bigger challenge that entrepreneurs and business owners of cafes, especially the ones that are starting up! Everyone’s affected for sure. Yes, in the midst of the COVID-19 situation, we must all be responsible to our community, stay at home as far as possible, and if need be, maintain social distancing even when we are out, but let’s not forget that we also have our future responsibility as coffee lovers. We can only do so much by supporting our instant coffee mixes. Eventually, we’ll want the real thing once again! :-)
So, here’s a soon-to-be checklist for all of you out there who would definitely visit their go-to or new-go-to coffee shops after this whole circuit breaker, partial or full lockdown measures being done. Let us all try to support everyone and keep our baristas and owner's dreams alive, as they help us fulfill our coffee fix.
I agree, while we all know that café hopping is a definite no-no at this point if you happen to any of these ones near your place, once this is all over – please do not forget to give them a visit as they need all the support we can give them – they’ll definitely repay the favor by supporting their tried-and-tested coffee choices.

Peaked Pies has finally opened in Downtown Vancouver on the West End. They specialize in Aussie Meat Pies, coffee and dessert.

Starbucks Victoria
Address: 470 Belleville St, Victoria, BC V8V 1W9, Canada
For me, the theme-song of the open road is the 80’s jingle “Man in motion”, from the movie, St. Elmos fire and Vancouver’s Expo 86. This was part of my personal soundtrack on a road trip across a big slice of Canada that year. For Winter, of StarbucksEverywhere.net, the theme of his open road goes way beyond a transitory one hit wonder from the eighties.

Lucky's Doughnuts: 49th Café
Address: 2902 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5T 3G3, Canada
The opening we’ve been waiting for finally happened a few weeks ago, and the offerings are better than we could have ever imagined. You may wonder, how is that possible? We expected the downtown Vancouver location of 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters /Lucky’s Doughnuts in Coal Harbour to have its signature coffee and next-level doughnuts. But what we didn’t expect – were these magical breakfast buns, or Eggburgers, as they are formally called.

Bean Around The World Coffee House & Bistro
Address: 6308 Thunderbird Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada
About this place. It's good ambience and relaxing. I really liked their tea Latte I tried Canada Err and Roman Provice and I was pleased with both. The pasty's were just okay, nothing to write about. I also had spicy nuts and I really liked it. The only thing to make sure the way they have their address written correctly. I didn't have anything to do today so I was able to go aroUnd and look for it. I will came back to this place just for their amazing tea.

lelem' at The Fort
Address: 23433 Mavis Ave, Langley City, BC V1M 3R5, Canada
Have you ever wanted to explore where it all began? Fort Langley is the birthplace of British Columbia, and with that comes a long history that is waiting to be explored. The Canadian National Historic Site is situated in the quaint village of Fort Langley up atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Fraser River. Although this is not the original fort, today’s fort offers a very good representation of what it would have been like to live in the area in the 1800’s. Inside the fort, you will find actors portraying pioneer life, demos of 19th-century technology, and you’ll even find the Lelem’ at the Fort café in one of the buildings. Fort Langley offers much more than your average day trip, however, as you can sleep over in a trader- themed oTENTik inside the fort walls! Also, be on the lookout for themed events and kid’s day camps. More information can be found at the Fort Langley National Historic Site Website.

TAPshack • Coal Harbour
Address: 1199 W Cordova St, Vancouver, BC V6E 4R5, Canada
Before PuB NiGHT started, we ate some chicken wings at the Pint. During happy hour everyone gets free chicken wings when ordering a beer. When our stomach was filled, it was time to go to Tapshack. Tapshack is a really nice, cozy pub with a beautiful view of the mountains in North Vancouver. Our table was waiting for us outside on the heated patio in front of the pub. We sat down and tried some of the many different beers TAPshack has to offer. Or one of those really nice grapefruit drinks. Read more at: https://internexcanada.wordpress.com/tag/tapshack/
