New Vancouver cafe to open soon — and it's serving a mango sticky rice matcha
One thing will always remain true for Vancouver: there is always a new cafe to check out in the city that absolutely nails the vibe. And joining the list of the vibey places to grab a latte in the city is Peace and Culture Coffee.
What initially started as a pop-up has now softly opened a brick-and-mortar at 720 Glen Dr., inside the Assembly building.
The new spot is brought to us by owner Jun, who you may recognize as the multi-time winner of the Latte Art Throwdown.
“It began in Melbourne. My first job in coffee was for a small, bustling shop owned by a couple, Ben and Eva. They saw potential in me that I hadn’t yet seen in myself—trusting me to help lead the space from the very beginning and teaching me the backbone of what it means to run a business fueled by craft and care,” wrote Jun.

“Years later, the path led to Vancouver. Our paths crossed again, and that same belief in perseverance took a new form. Ben didn’t just build the walls of Peace and Culture; he helped realize a dream that once felt out of reach. This shop is a product of those who put their hearts into building it. But more than that, it was built for you.”
He also shared that the vision for Peace and Culture was simple: to create a culture that brings people together over a shared love of the craft.
“We’ve designed this space as a sanctuary in the city— a place where you can find a little peace in your day and a genuine connection over a cup of coffee,” Jun said.

Drinks at Peace and Culture are split into different categories, like “Conventional” — which is where you’d find your more traditional coffee and tea offerings (described simply as espresso and water or espresso and milk) — as well as “Contemporary” offerings, which are described as “a modern spin on familiar favourites and inventive cafe creations.”
While a full menu has yet to be shared online, one of the drinks we’ve spotted being served is a Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, which consists of mango puree, coconut sticky rice, milk, and matcha over ice.
Another interesting offering from the Contemporary menu includes a drink called the Can’t Be It, a combination of coffee, milk, yogurt, acid solution, and saline solution over ice.
However, we anticipate that featured drinks are subject to change, so if one catches your eye, be sure to visit sooner rather than later.
Peace and Culture officially opens its doors on Thursday, Feb. 12 and will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
