Coffee & Bakeries
Whether it’s your morning ritual or your afternoon pick-me-up, Vancouver WA has the local roasters and artisan bakeries to satiate your caffeine cravings and pastry passions.
In downtown, the effortlessly cool Compass Coffee is a nexus of community chatter and coffee revelry. It also sells an assortment of pastries from local bakeries. Stop in Kafiex Roaster's Coffee Lab for Fair Trade java and Mexican sweet breads among a brightly painted mural of the international coffee belt.
For the most killer flavor in town, take a bite out of Treat Vancouver’s Cereal Killer cookie—made with corn flakes, marshmallows and chocolate chips. Also ready to curb your sweet tooth desires, Simply Sweets offers dreamy cupcake flavors like pink champagne, lemon coconut, and the pineapple-laced ‘Hummingbird'.
Of course, savory snacks also have their share of Uptown devotees. Bleu Door Bakery offers breakfast pastries and quiches at the to-go window or sit-down brunch in the dining room. If you prefer your cup o’ Joe with an extra dose of character, Latte Da Coffeehouse operates out of a turn-of-the-century house just north of Uptown, selling coffee and breakfast alongside wine and beer.
Coffee is central to the Pacific Northwest, and Vancouver is home to some of the finest roasters and award-winning baristas—once even outranking Portland and Seattle on a list of top cities for coffee lovers. The Couve Coffee Trail makes it easy to explore local favorites across Clark County, from local roasters and cozy neighborhood cafes to standout teahouses.
