They are such lovely people and have these amazing real Belgian-style waffles to accompany your coffee. Another wonderful place is called Little Nest; it is a 'kid-friendly' cafe (so is filled with adorable babies and small kids, but it is not in any way a zoo!) located on Charles St. just east of Commercial Drive. They have great food, (their scrambled eggs are amazing!) but their coffee is unbelievably good. We go there around 3 PM once their kitchen is officially closed (so it's a little quieter then) and savour their delicious lattes together with a piece of one their wonderful cakes (the owner is a pastry chef from New Zealand, so you can be sure it is good!).

It has huge garage style doors, mismatched tables and old wooden chairs. I can't think of the name of it, but they have delicious baked goods, tasty sandwiches and a lovely variety of hot beverages, including the coffee kind of drinks you're talking about...

Though if Toronto has cafes with proper cups and saucers Vancouver must too. It's a wonderful city full of secrets. :) Looking into relocating to Vancouver (from Toronto) myself, I’m wondering what’s out there!

I remember when I arrived in Sydney and was so confused by what a 'flat white' was! No guarantee it is what you are looking for in a coffee shop but check out JJ Bean on Main St @ 15th and Liberty Bakery on Main @ 21st (ish). And of course there is Cafe Artigiano's mmmmm (various locations). It’s true, Sydney’s coffee culture is a different breed than Vancouver.

So they serve American style coffee mostly? Like the black watery 'bottomless cup' style that you see in diners?? Ewwww. How terrifying. So they serve American style coffee mostly?

Your cup and saucer story made me smile. Some places that I like in the city are the Epicurean Caffe on West 1st, Coco et Olive on W. Broadway, 49th Parallel on West 4th and the Prado Cafe on Commercial. And Thomas Haas just opened his new shop on W. Broadway this week. Chocolate heaven! I hope you find your favourite place soon.
