Caffè Cittadella

Located in a historic 1894 heritage house, Espresso Bar & Bistro is a charming spot near Broadway and Cambie. This coffeehouse offers a wide range of options, including: - Pastries - Sandwiches - Breakfast dishes - Vegetarian/Gluten-free options - Cocktails, beer, and wine I've visited Caffe Cittadella multiple times, and it's become one of my favorite spots in the area. I've consistently enjoyed my experiences here. On my latest visit, I tried the Spinach Feta Cheese Pastry, paired with a hot chocolate. I requested a caffeine-free and low-sugar drink, and the staff made it perfectly to my liking. I highly recommend Espresso Bar & Bistro for its cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and accommodating staff.

If you prefer a gluten-free diet, Caffe Cittadella has GF black bean oatmeal brownie that is lighter than a regular supermarket brownie, still chocolate-y but really delightful. I think it is a bit like eating red bean pastry. I ordered regular Latte to match with the brownie as this is one of the 3 combo options at $7. I forgot what the other options were. Many customers opted for lunch specials for $9 and my friend ordered a lunch special - House Bagel, coming with potato chips with salsa dipping sauce. She said the bagel was warm and really pleasing. The 4-star instead of 5 was due to the 20 minute food waiting time. However, we went on BC Day and that might mean staff was short.
