Reviews for 49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts - MAIN in Vancouver, BC

We?ve been having their beans sent to the UK for some time now, so it was great to finally be able to visit a shop in... person. The styling of the shop is bright, modern and airy - perfect for a relaxing coffee. The coffee itself was lovely,mellow with a good depth of flavour. The pastries complemented the coffee perfectly.

Delicious donuts and coffee!! We had the mango passionfruit donut and I love the texture of the old fashioned donut. Only... downside is that it gets really busy as the donuts are quite popular. Will definitely need to try more flavors the next time Iam back in Vancouver! Read more

My favorite donuts in the city (used to be Lee?s). They're huge and unique so it's always fun to pick up a half... dozen+. Favorite flavors: Chocolate Old fashioned , sprinkled (kids favorite) and PB&J for something unique Metered parkingout front and along the side streets and tons of seating indoors and along their outdoor patio. ????Tip: if you're dead set oncertain flavors you can pre-order at least one day ahead of time and it will be boxed and ready to go!

I come here mainly for the donuts - Lucky?s is my top pick for Vancouver. I really enjoy the seasonal flavours - lemon meringue,... mango passion fruit coconut, etc. My go-to for classic flavours would be the peanut butter & jelly one - I wouldn?t say I?m ahuge PB&J fan but this donut has homemade raspberry jelly and peanut butter and it is just perfection. The coffee is good but Ifind the espresso drinks to be variable (dependent on barista). The seasonal drinks like the lavender lemonade are great aswell. Read more

Go for the donuts, stay for the coffee! We loved this place so much we went every morning during our visit to Vancouver. The... artisan donuts here are all nicely balanced in flavor and sweetness. Nothing was over the top sweet or syrupy. They have acoffee/tea and donut combo which is a great deal and you can get the coffee/tea hot or iced. Their London fog is great and thepb&j, strawberry rhubarb, and floral berry donuts were our favorites. The outdoor seating area along the sidewalk is also aplus. Read more

We arrived at around 230pm and, luckily, it wasn't that packed as I was expecting. Lovin' that rustic, farmhouse feel inside. I... had their Coffee of the Day and it was pleasant as it can be especially paired with the Vanilla Old Fashioned donut. The donut,on the other hand, is that comfort food kind of donut. Nothing to write he about but gives you that "slow down and breathe"feeling. ???????????????????????? Read more

Probably in the top 3 for donuts for me in Metro Vancouver. Their old fashioned ones (any flavour, but original is my fave) are... incredible. They have a nice crisp on the outside. The crueller is also so so good. It also has a lighter crisp but still hasthat doughy middle that cruellers normally have. I didnt see an apple fritter which is what i always get when judging donutshops but still, these are some of the best around. The coffee is also top notch. I also like how you get to put the creamerand sugar yourself, not many places let you do that anymore. Read more

I was visiting Vancouver and was told this café was a must stop to grab some donuts. I swung by on a Saturday afternoon and... found a line wrapped around the corner. Aside from the chilly weather, luckily there was no rain or anything like that so myfriends and I waited roughly 10 minutes to get inside and wait there. Some donuts we ordered were Cinnamon Sugar OldFashioned, Glazed Ring, Berry Berliner, Long John, Pistachio Ring, and Chocolate Old Fashioned. My top two favorite were LongJohn and Chocolate Old Fashioned - especially when it's warm (microwaved prior eating). Overall the donuts were moist andflavorful, and still good the eat the next morning - highly recommend!! Read more
