Mountains, trails & the best morning espresso
North Vancouver is where the mountains meet the city — and where the best espresso in the Lower Mainland is brewed. From the trails of Seymour to the patios of Lonsdale, this is a region that earns its reputation one sip at a time.
Start at a small-batch roaster on Lonsdale, then hit the trails before the crowds arrive.
Find a west-facing patio, order something cold, and watch the sun set over the water.
