93 Coffee - Japanese Cafe & Eatery — Restaurant in Vancouver

This is a really cute casual Japanese restaurant. The design is spacious but cozy - it's laid out more like a coffee shop than a typical full-service restaurant, but they do have table service here (with the caveat that you go to the counter yourself to pay when you're finished). I was there in the early evening, and it wasn't empty but not super busy either. The atmosphere was very calm and quiet. Even if all the tables were occupied, I would imagine this isn't a place that gets very loud. The menu features yoshoku cuisine/Western-style Japanese with options suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. FYI, it looks like the only vegan menu item (besides drinks) is the avocado toast, though there are a small handful of vegetarian choices. During the spring and summer they had a matcha pop-up in collaboration with Yutaka Tea Room but I’m not sure if that’s still going… their Instagram mentions limited drinks until August 31, so I’m not sure if the whole pop-up has ended or just the special drinks. Here's what I ordered when I visited in the spring, during the collaboration: Mentaiko cream spaghetti: Simple but really good. The sauce was very umami but not excessive or heavy. Bread pudding: This was lovely. I was surprised at how fluffy the texture was. Even with the light maple syrup drizzle, it wasn't too sweet. This meant that the eggy taste of the pudding was rather pronounced, so if that sounds off-putting to you, this might not be the dessert for you. Personally I enjoyed this style more than American-style bread pudding which can be really heavy and sweet. If you want something lighter, this is great. Coffee jelly hojicha latte: The hojicha latte was great - it was clear the hojicha was high quality and prepared well. I liked the flavour pairing of hojicha and coffee jelly. Matcha cake: I saw this wrapped up, looking very portable, when I went to the register to pay, so I grabbed it to go and enjoyed it the next day. Again, the texture was light but the matcha was strong, and it wasn't too sweet so I could really pick up the fine flavour of the matcha. The prices are reasonable for restaurant prices... but be prepared that it is typical restaurant prices, not "cafe" prices. But if what I got is representative of the menu, it's carefully-made food and they take good care of you with polite and...

This place was located very close to our accommodation, so we came here for coffee and tea to start our day.

Upon first glance and when we sat down, I found this place very cute. I love the design and decor. I thought this was just a cafe at first, but they also served sit down food and breakfast. I was very surprised at how large their menu was.

I ordered the Hojicha latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got the Detox tea. I loved my Hojicha, it was rich, earthy, and creamy too from the milk. It was very good. Also the Detox tea was good too. It was soothing and I really liked the faint peppermint notes. My boyfriend and I shared the whole pot, and for the price I thought it was very reasonable. Also the whole tea setup was very cute and pretty, I'm inspired to have my own tea set at home just like this lol.

Service was amazing. I felt very welcome and taken care of. Compared to other establishments, their service is one of the best I've ever received.

Next time I'd come here again to try their food and I was also interested in trying their matcha affogato. I'd also want to come back and read, journal, or study here for an afternoon. Our experience was very memorable, I hope to one day return again :) Thank you for...

I love 93 Coffee! If you're looking for a charming cafe that feels like home this is the place to be. Once I found it I couldn't stay away and within the year that they've been open they have become a staple within the community. It's a family run business and they genuinely care about the quality and experience they offer their customers. You can expect soft jazzy cafe music playing in the background, the smell of coffee or fresh butter cookies. I really enjoy their food as well! I've tried almost everything on their menu but have yet to make it in for breakfast or try their unagi bowl. It's on my list! My current favorite dishes are the yakiniku teishoku or the mentaiko cream pasta. Yum! It's also worth mentioning their matcha. It's absolutely delicious and can be prepared numerous ways. As someone who really appreciates matcha, they do it right. Their hojicha is especially delicious, and it's taken me five years to find one that I really enjoy. Give them a try,...
