Totally love this place, beautiful neighbourhood, cute totally unique place, a mosaic of everything Latin both to eat or take away. So go have a coffee with a side or something sweet or savoury and take some unique groceries home. Love the Argentinian alfajores.

Cardero Cafe is a charming little cafe tucked away in a quiet residential area of Vancouver. It’s not just a cafe — they also sell a small selection of groceries, adding to the cozy, neighborhood feel. The coffee here is excellent, rich and flavorful, and it’s clear that they put real care into what they serve. Unlike the busy tourist spots, Cardero Cafe offers a genuine local atmosphere, making it a truly special place to relax and soak in the everyday life of the city. If you want to experience the real Vancouver beyond the typical sightseeing areas, this cafe is definitely worth a visit.

Awesome little spot with great coffee and perfect seating outside for people watching. This can only exist because it's off the beaten path! Also, the floor inside is amaze-balls!

Such a wonderful place. A real treasure. Wish we had more small, character shops like this. Great coffee and all kinds of Latin American staples for sale too! Sandwiches look fabulous too, so will be back to try one.

A little gem in the West End, chill and family friendly. They have home-made sweets, gluten-free empanadas, juices, hot drinks and even groceries from Latin America. Cosy and not busy with good prices and service.
