Café Delitzi (Coquitlam)
This is a true gem located near Coquitlam Centre mall. The owner, Ray, is so nice and really loves what he does. All the employees get to know you and remember your order if you go regularly. They have a wide selection of specialty drinks and food, including some gluten free options. We like the smoothies and the power balls! The brownies and peanut butter bars are also gluten free are. A gluten free bun is also available for their breakfast sandwiches. If you don’t need gluten-free, they have tons of options, including sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and cakes. They often hold special events including game nights or local musicians.
They are open until 8:00pm Monday to Saturday, and 7:00pm on Sundays. Free street parking just around the corner or paid street parking right out front.
Caffe Delish (Port Coquitlam)
This is an ENTIRELY GLUTEN FREE café! Everything you see, you can eat! Both indoor and outdoor seating available. They have a full bakery nearby in Port Coquitlam as well. My personal favourite is the cinnamon bun, but I also really enjoy the salted caramel brownie, breakfast bagel, cherry dark chocolate scone, and the Mama McCreedy cookie. You really can’t go wrong with anything here! (Free parking, too).
Poco location is open 8:00am – 5:00pm every day, and Pitt Meadows is open 6:00am – 6:00pm Monday to Friday, and 8:00am – 6:00pm on Saturday and Sunday.
C Market Coffee (Port Coquitlam)
The largest café in the Tri-Cities, C Market is a huge space with room to gather. Many locals here working with laptops, gathering with friends, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. There are lunch options as well as pastries available. The seating isn’t the most comfortable for long periods (cement benches and plastic stools). They have another smaller location in Coquitlam as well, near-ish to Ikea.
Open 8:00am to 9:00pm daily.
Creekside Coffee Factory – Westwood (Coquitlam)
Creekside is in a convenient location, just off Lougheed beside the big Superstore. This location has tons of seating. Lots of two person tables as well as a big “family style” table. There were lots of people studying or working in the middle of the day mid-week. People were there with friends and reading books solo as well. Lots of drink options, sandwich options, gelato, and a couple vegan options it looked like. No gluten free options that I could see. There is tons of parking. They also have a second location on Barnet Highway that we have not been to.
Open 8:30pm – 9:30pm daily, except open until 6:30pm on Sundays.
Coffee + Vanilla (Coquitlam)
Coffee + Vanilla is a cute café on Austin Avenue in Coquitlam. They have a ton of seating, good coffee, and an extensive food selection. They have a few vegan and gluten friendly options. Some of the gluten friendly options do say not recommended if you have celiac disease, but they do have safe macarons. Their pastry case is quite extensive, and they have lunch options as well. Many people were grabbing lunch or catching up with a friend when I visited. Mid-day during the week you are likely to find many people set up with a laptop at one of the many 2 person tables. Parking can be a bit of an issue as there is limited parking out front and it is 1 hour only, so you may have to park a couple blocks away. Open Monday to Saturday from 8:00am – 5:30pm. Closed Sundays.
Pappa Roti (Coquitlam)
Located in Coquitlam at Pinetree Way and Glen Drive, you will find Pappa Roti. The name is deceiving because this is definitely a coffee shop and not a roti shop. They have many food options, such as different types of stuffed buns, sandwiches, soup, and pastries (including gluten free options). There is a huge seating area, but they do have a 2 hour maximum (so you can’t sit here and work for the whole day).
They are open until 10:00pm, and there is paid street parking out front (free on Sundays and after 8:00pm).
Pourquois Pas (Coquitlam)
Hidden in a small strip mall in a residential area of Coquitlam is Pourquois Pas. There is not much seating here, so you won’t be staying long. Most people take their goodies to go. The real draw here isn’t the coffee but rather the baked goods. The croissants are the true star, being voted the winner of Vancouver’s 2023 Croissant Crawl. While they do have a couple gluten free options, those are very limited. This place is meant for gluten lovers!
Open Wednesday to Friday from 8:30am – 5:00pm, Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am – 4:00pm, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
