There’s something so sweet and exciting about going to a new cafe. Comparing one caramel macchiato to the next, trying random specialties, and getting a sweet treat to eat! What’s not to love?
In the diverse, creative city of Vancouver, there are some extra unique spots. Ones that have exciting features beyond a tasty menu.
Here’s a list of cafes you should bring your friend to the next study outing or gossip sesh!
Catfe
Need I say more? This is truly every cat lover’s dream. This cafe works to rescue cats, housing and selling them to great homes!
“Catfe offers up catpuccinos, cat-themed treats, cat supplies and meowchandise, all in the company of adoptable rescue cats.”
With 20 to 25 cats in the lounge at any time, this is the perfect place to look for a new furry companion or come in for some temporary animal therapy. Since opening in 2015, Catfe has found homes for 1500 cats!

“Paving the way for a whole new concept of rabbit rescue, adoption and advocacy”
They sell coffee, treats and everything you need to take care of a rabbit. One visit will ease your stress and make you want to buy one so badly!
