I love the vibe of this place! It's bold, quirky and exciting! They really lean into the "TV" aspect of it with various TVs playing different things. The color scheme is bright orange and they're not hiding anything. Service was good, and my drink was prepared quickly. When I accidentally spilled some of it on my coat, the staff were very helpful and offered tissues to help me clean up the mess. I got a hot chocolate and my friends ordered coffee. All of our drinks were delicious and served at a perfect drinking temperature. I'd love to try more of the menu.
🍔 A Nostalgic Gem: TV Dinner Coffee & Café! ☕ 🚴♂️ Stumbled upon TV Dinner while biking to downtown from Burrard Street, and it was a delightful surprise! This newly opened café and market has a cool retro vibe, with decor that brings you back to the '80s. The bright orange and brown colors, along with the vintage TV displays, create a unique and fun ambiance that you won’t find anywhere else in Vancouver. ☕ Ordered an iced latte and a burger, and both were spot-on! The coffee was smooth and refreshing, just what we needed to refuel. The staff were super welcoming and even hinted at more menu items coming soon. They’re definitely keeping things fresh and exciting, making us eager to return and see what new treats they'll offer. 🍔 What’s also cool about TV Dinner is that it’s more than just a café—they offer a selection of grab-and-go items and pantry essentials from local brands, which adds a grocer-like feel to the place. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or stocking up on unique local goods, this place has you covered. ⭐ Overall, TV Dinner is a great addition to Vancouver’s café scene. With its quirky decor, tasty offerings, and friendly atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to relax and take a break. I can’t wait to visit again and see what other goodies they’ll add to the menu!
Saw this on tik tok before moving abroad to Canada coming from the U.K. 🇬🇧 and this was part of my coffee shop bucket list. Love the vintage tv’s never seen something like this before and it’s amazing. Friendly staff members, nice and quiet. Simple menu love it, Highly recommend this place for sure!
A blast from the past! Loved the atmosphere and the drinks. Very good vibes, lots of interesting items for sale. The passion fruit ice cream is beyond this world, it’s absolutely sensational. The cookie is honestly just okay, but I had very high expectations. Great service, really enjoyed my experience!
The new corner coffee shop & grocer that replaced Bel Cafe. This coffee shop has a very interesting concept and I was in love with the 80s90s vibe created by the bright orange decor and the stack of old TVs by the entrance. Both the coffee and the scone were impressive and I can't wait to come back again in the future!
Nice place to go for a coffee, with a great atmosphere that takes you back to earlier times. The interior inside was charmingly vintage, featuring cozy seating and nostalgic decor of old TVs as they were used in just a few decades ago. The service staff was pleasant and attentive 👍
Came here for the first time today and really liked it! I loved the vegan glory sandwich and was excited to see the vegan option. We also tried the monster cookie which was great! Had an iced oat milk latte which was really tasty too.
Should I give a review based purely on a single cookie? Probably not, but this was no ordinary cookie. I'm a serious cookie monster – I'll shamelessly claim that I make amazing cookies, and I only buy cookies that are at least as good as what I can make – this one might be better! In fact, it's an absolute certainty that I'll be back for both more cookies and to see what other items are on the menu. We brought it to the summit of Mt Seymour as a treat to enjoy on our hike, and I'm sure you could hear our yummy noises all the way back to the parking lot. Is there other good stuff at this new market and cafe? Maybe, and if it's even half as good as this chocolate, caramel, and brownie cookie, you should drop whatever you're doing right now, go find out and let me know!
This was my first time to TV Dinner and the experience was amazing! From the vibes to the service to the delicious drinks! I ordered a matcha latte with oatmilk. The barista even brought us water and chatted with us for awhile. They have a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Really loved the atmosphere and vibe of this shop! The hot chocolate is a must. It was incredible.
Great vibes, coffee, food and service!
best coffee, amazing service, vibes on point, bathroom art 10/10
I ve been looking for the perfect breakfast sandwich and this is it. Excellent coffee, too.
THE REUBEN! Holy the Reuben is good. Second only to the service and the awesome coffee. You can even choose between darker Italian or local espresso! Great spot to stop if youre a cyclist!
Delicious coffee, traditional cortado without too much milk, lovely staff and cool decors!
Such a tasty Reuben!
My husband had the best meatball sandwich ever. And the service was quick and friendly. The espresso was great too.
Very nice coffee. Barista was very nice and welcoming. Cafe has a very nice old school aesthetic. Definitely one of the nicer coffee spots in the area.
One of the best coffee spots in Vancouver!Delicious oat flat white and excellent vibes
One of the best almond croissants I ve had. Still thinking about it Inside is super cute, very local vibes Food : 5/5
Lovely staff, fun old school clips on the tv and the brownie-chocolate chip cookie was SOOOO yummy
Very tastefully decorated. It felt like walking into That 70s Show with all the old school TVs stacked. Very nice selection of local foods and flavours. Love the Latin flavors and Colombian coffee! Staff are very friendly and approachable. They look like they really care about their business and said theyre still growing and will have more things to come. Can tell they put a lot of heart into it. Would go back!
I loved this little shop and really enjoyed the vintage tv vibes. Definitely brought back lots of memories. We got their Flat White and it was amazing. Perfect little shop and deserves more recognition.
Super nice staff, great coffee and the best cookies!!
Rad place to hang out for a coffee or grab some goodies to stock your freezer. Great pastries and breakfast sandwiches too. Check it out.
Loved the espresso, really high quality! And the cookie was just, well just look at it
good vibe, nicely decorated coffee shop. genuine comment would be coffee is tiny comparing with all coffee shops in the area. groceries are expensive, and lack of food for lunch/afternoon snacks is a huge issue to keep the shop busy. Food
Great vibe, awesome people. They ve curated a great selection of local products who knew we have a local vegan sticky toffee pudding wizard in town?! They did, and they brought the magic in! Definite neighbourhood gem. Excited to see how they evolve!
Dog approved, coffee excellent, great vibe and local hot sauce. 5*
Best mocha I ve had in a long time! Only complaint is the size of cups is very small. But I would come again because the quality was superb. Has soy milk! Has decaf espresso beans! Has immaculate vibes. Food
Great concept Great location Great coffee Highly recommend Food
Tasty coffee and a cozy place to sit. I ll be back!
I didnt have food only coffee. The people are the loveliest and the coffee is good. The atmosphere is retro with TVs playing things from the 80s like WWF wrestling and Mork and Mindy and shows like that. Its fun to reminisce. Check it out!!
This has become by local coffee spot. A beautiful quiet spot in Kits with great coffee and workspace. Additionally, the staff are soo friendly and make for great conversation.
This is a cute little place. Service was friendly and coffee was lovely. I will definitely be back.
It was quite and comfy space with good coffee and courteous staff!! Cookie that I had was a little bit too sweet for me personally but you should try it and will like it if you have sweet tooth!!
Really cool vibe. Good addition to the neighbourhood!
Great latte, friendly staff, and an awesome selection of frozen BC-sourced food for you to take and heat at home. Lots of vegan and gluten free options too.
Just tried TV Dinner for the first time today. Love the vibes inside. The treats looked good but today I just got a flat white. The flat white was creamy, smooth, and delicious. BUT I was very disappointed when I took my first sip once I d stepped out and it was cold.
Love the service and the ambience of the place! The nostalgia from my old TV room makes me enjoy everything THAT much more. The drip coffee and the breakfast sandwiches are fire. Lastly, the staff makes you feel like it is your own living room, or basement. I think I found a new, regular spot!
Fantastic coffee!
Great spot! The vibe is spot on, the products carefully curated and awesome, and the coffee was excellent. Will be back!
Great vibe, friendly staff! Amazing space, dialed coffee and a great selection of local products. Would recommend coming here to anyone.
This is where to go when you dont know what to have for dinner. Its all local stuff! The Mac & Cheese is better than my Mother-in laws. The Diablo hot sauce is friggin tasty and its made 20 feet from where its sold. Theyve done a great job sourcing local unique products, most I havent seen at other stores around here. Welcome to the hood TV Dinner!
The vibe is elite. Coffee amazing. Day one and there are already plenty of partially-cooked food options in their fridges and freezers to take home for quick and easy meals. Welcome to the neighbourhood!
TV Dinner is a super unique spot! The cafe/market has a retro vibe that I haven t seen anywhere else in Van. The coffee is great, the staff is super friendly, and there are cool local products in the freezers. Definitely check it out :)
Warm and friendly cafe and with a great selection of local frozen goods. Cool retro vibe without being kitschy. You can tell theyve taken great care to source well-made frozen meals and put a lot of thought into their coffee program that serves both modern and italian coffee (from the iconic Renzullos). Would definitely come back!!
Love the vibe at TV Dinner, supporters of local products and small brands like our Grandpa Js products! Looking forward to my next coffee at TV Dinner Market and Cafe.
A very fun take on the community market & cafe - great coffee, lots of local fresh & frozen options to take home and cook, and a friendly team behind the counter. Worth checking out!
Love this place for healthy quick dinners! We stock up on their frozen foods for the nights we don t have time to make dinner :) The vibe and atmosphere is fresh, friendly and fun!
Great coffee, staff were super friendly and the cookies were delish (freshly baked and still warm)
Awesome spot! Had a flat white and a coffee, both were delicious. Staff were very friendly. Nice atmosphere with a lot of natural light. The old TVs had a high pitched ring but easy to ignore once you settle in. Will definitely return Food
Top marks for everything. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Such a fun space, major nostalgia. Also delicious food and coffee
