Feb 3 2018, 7:55 am

We all know dates can be a bit stressful, especially if it’s the first couple.

You want to make sure you look fly as hell, you’re cool, calm, and collected, and mostly, you want to pick out the best location possible.

Although I can’t really help you look good or stop you from talking about that one time you sat on a Jolly Rancher and it was stuck to your pants for hours (I swear that never happened to me), but I can help you find the perfect coffee shop to meet at.

Here are my picks for the best Vancouver coffee shops for dates.

Milano Coffee Roasters

This Italian coffee shop has three locations, one in Gastown, one on Denman, and one on West 8th. The reason I singled out the West 8th location is for one reason and one reason alone – the view. The view at night is beyond phenomenal. You’re just outside the city and manage to see everything so clearly from their patio. Do yourself a favor and take your date to Milano on West 8th and just enjoy the view and the company.

Address: 156 W 8th Avenue, Vancouver
