Elysian Coffee Broadway & Ash

Elysian's Broadway & Ash cafe is easy to spot by the mountain range painted across its corner wall, and it comes with a hidden patio for sunny days. It is one of four neighbourhood cafes run by a Vancouver roaster that started on West 5th Avenue and now roasts at its 7th & Ontario tasting room, so the coffee on the bar is made a short walk away from its own beans.

The approach is deliberately simple: consistently sweet, easy to brew coffees for espresso and filter, with a house espresso from Guatemala and a filter lineup, served alongside fresh pastries. It is a friendly Fairview stop with the same attentive service the roaster brings to all of its cafes.
