Vancouver is about to host its first-ever coffee crawl, and it’s shaping up to be a weekend of caffeinated fun!
The Vancouver Coffee Crawl will run from September 19 to 21, inviting coffee lovers to explore the city’s vibrant cafe scene through a three-day event.
The crawl is built around a coffee bingo concept: participants can pick up a bingo card at any of the 19 participating cafes, purchase a drink or pastry, and then cross off cafes as they visit.
The more spots you hit, the better your chance of winning prizes.
The event is organized by a small but passionate team of coffee enthusiasts who wanted to create something special for the city’s community.
“Vancouver Coffee Crawl.was started with the idea of celebrating the coffee community and connecting folks with some of the local cafes in the city. Cafes have provided so much joy to us all so we wanted to create a weekend of fun, connections and coffee through this event,” shared the Vancouver Coffee Crawl Team (Andie, Claire, Iman and Quinn).
The crawl will feature a wide lineup of well-loved cafes across Vancouver, including:
- Annabelle’s,
- Doe Coffee Roasters,
- Elysian Coffee (with multiple locations),
- Funk Coffee Bar,
- Pallet Coffee Roasters,
- Modus,
- R Ki Coffee Lab,
- Soon Coffee,
- Sunny M,
- United Strangers,
- and more.
It’s a chance to revisit your favourites while also discovering new shops you might not have tried yet.
To wrap up the weekend, there will be a closing party at Pallet HQ at 395 Alexander Street on Sunday, September 21 from 3 to 6 p.m.
Guests can expect food, drinks, prizes, and even a latte art throwdown that’s open to all skill levels—no sign-ups required.
The event is free to attend, though RSVPs are encouraged through Eventbrite to help organizers prepare.
The team behind the crawl says they’re already looking ahead.
“We are so excited for the first year of the crawl and hope to include more wonderful cafes next year! Thank you for joining us!!”
