Best bets for a cheap lunch in Chinatown
Known for its seriously good coffee (thanks to baristas who are serious about coffee) Matchstick Café also offers a wide selection of warm and relatively cheap lunch plates. One of the few coffee shops in the area with an in-house baker, Matchstick’s trademark fresh bread provides a foundation for most dishes, and all are on the affordable side of the current gourmet toast trend. Choose from toppings that include cured meats, sausage, cheeses, and homemade jams and more spreads – and finish off with a twice-baked almond croissant or another deliciously sweet treat.

Local Vancouver coffee roasters to fuel your day
The earnest and passionate team behind Matchstick want to change the way you think about coffee. And their attentive roasting, by-the-cup brewing and community-focussed vibe may just succeed at having you view your everyday pick-me-up as something truly special. They roast and serve only single-origin coffee, prepared either as a pour-over or an espresso-based drink. Their minimalist but welcoming cafés also serve lovely pastries and lunch. This is a place to stay awhile and make the mundane extraordinary.

Cool brews: Indie cafés for iced coffee in Vancouver
The folks behind Matchstick Coffee Roasters are meticulous when it comes to selecting high quality, single-origin coffee beans from Guatamala, Kenya, Ethiopia and Honduras. Knowledgeable baristas prepare brewed-to-order iced coffees using a pour-over method that’s slow, methodical and fun to watch as long as you’re not in a hurry. We suggest accompanying your beverage with a double-baked croissant (try to get there early before these sweet treats sell out). Both the Chinatown location and the Mount Pleasant outpost are brightly lit, minimalist and totally Instagram-worthy. The neighbourhood hangouts also have plenty of and free Wi-Fi for laptop-toting freelancers.
