Located in Gastown, Timbertrain is a beautiful light-filled café and micro-roaster, and a great spot to try if you’re looking for the perfect cappuccino. If you’re lucky enough to nab a spot in the railcar-inspired seating area, make sure you stick around to watch as the baristas prepare pour-over coffee orders at the slow bar.
A newer kid on the Gastown block, this is an impeccably designed café with an eye for the details, especially when it comes to your coffee. Prepared at their “slow bar,” your cup is brewed with precise technique with beans from their Langley roasting facility. Appreciate the dedication these folks have for every coffee they make and have yours at the bar or one of their tables that subtly reference a train car. There’s no rush, so stay awhile.
Their roasting facility may be in Langley, but it’s their Gastown café — all warm wood and exposed brick and with subtle design references to the interior of a train — where you’ll want to enjoy this particular cup. Their slow-food philosophy means that each coffee order is brewed and tended to with the utmost patience, care and attention, resulting in an almost-transcendent cup of coffee. Forget our rushed to-go ethos and savour your morning beverage in this first-class lounge. We’re all aboard.
