Cafe + Coffee = Vancouver - Introduction with Starbucks

You may call Vancouver 'the city of coffee'. Nice cafes are to be found everywhere. Small or big, international or local chains, whatever you like. Only cafe I did not found until now is the classics Vienna/Prague kind of cafe. Let's see. I am still working on it. The atmosphere is different than in Europe, nevertheless all of the cafes I visited until now have nice atmosphere, most of them even good food (bakery, sandwiches and cakes). Now to my first cafe experience.

Although I did not want Starbucks to be the first cafe I visit in Canada, it happend. It was not bad, just like Starbucks anywhere else. It is difficult to miss Starbucks in any bigger city. The same applies to Vancouver. If I counted well, there are fifty Starbucks only in Vancouver itself. The interior is familiar. Moscow, London, Prague or Vancouver (just to name cities I recently visited a Starbucks shop) the shops are the very similar, with slight touch of 'I am different'. You do not have Starbucks around the corner? Lucky you! To be fair, their coffee is something you can rely on in unknown environment. No adventure, it is something you know from home. 

Starbucks Standard

Good news is, there are more cafes to be discovered in Vancouver. This is the first post of long (let's see how much is long) series about cafes in Vancouver and surroundings.
