Vancouver is about to get the biggest cafe in the city, and it is right off Main Street.
C Market Coffee, the popular Korean-inspired cafe brand from the Tri-Cities, is officially opening its first Vancouver flagship on Sunday, March 1 at 10 AM.
If the name sounds familiar, we first reported on this when we spotted the coming soon signs for the cafe back in October.
We’re not joking when we say this cafe is massive.
At over 5,000 sq. ft. with seating for more than 150 guests, it will be the largest cafe in Vancouver.
The brand first opened in Coquitlam in 2019 by owner Bridgette Hyun and has since expanded to Port Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows, earning a loyal following for its balance of quality, design, and hospitality.
The Vancouver flagship takes that concept and scales it up dramatically.
The interior of this location continues that minimal concrete brutalist-inspired design as their other locations.
You’ll also find the cafe with high ceilings, big windows for natural light, and an upcoming wrapped patio.
Considering the cafe is located close to Queen Elizabeth Park, C Market will make for a stellar post-golf or post-tennis hang.
On the food side, there is a full kitchen menu that includes brunch and lunch options like bulgogi bowls, sandwiches, and paninis.
The drinks program features house-roasted beans and signatures like the Blueberry Cheesecake Cold Brew.
The whole menu blends Korean flavours with global cafe culture, which is exactly what built the brand’s following in the suburbs.
Aside from the sleek vibes and food, the cafe has a dedicated coffee education centre that will host tastings, workshops, and community events, along with pop-up spaces for local vendors.
“Our flagship represents a new chapter for C Market Coffee,” Hyun said in a statement.
“We wanted to create a space that feels welcoming yet elevated, a place where people can gather, connect, and experience thoughtful hospitality at scale.”
One detail that will matter to drivers: there is free on-site parking.
That is a rare find for a cafe this close to Main Street.
If you plan on being there on opening day, expect limited-edition giveaways and opening-day raffles at the door.
