Quickbite: Triggiano’s Cafe

I just thought I’d share a great little tip I’ve been sitting on for a while now. Triggiano’s Caffe in Yaletown happens to serve an excellent cup of tea. Specifically, it’s heck of a lot of quality tea steeped in a conical filter totaling up to a mere $1.54 including tax. In fact, you’ll often find your own Eat Vancouver editor sitting in front of one of these cups, laptop in the proximity, making history with another brilliant post. All joking aside, I love the deep flavor of the green tea here, especially if it has been steeping for a good while – bonus points for the huge antioxidant and caffeine boosts it provides.

Although I’ve seen my share of A-holes there, the fact that the coffee shop isn’t directly on one of the main Yaletown promenades does manage to stave off many of the more annoying overprivileged Yaletownites. I also like the old standards playing over the PA and the generally friendly and capable baristas. Note that if you’d like a bite to eat with your tea, a panino and a soup are a pretty good deal at around $7, and although nothing spectacular, are reasonably good.
