Coffee can help you start the day off right or pick you up after your afternoon slump. Langley residents and visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to cafés – here are a few cozy ones to choose from when you need that next caffeine injection.
Tucked away in historic Walnut Grove, this café is locally owned and operated. The owner is committed to serving fresh artisan-roasted coffee from around the world and promoting environmentally friendly business practices (note the biodegradable bags). Republica imports the finest Arabica green coffee and expertly roasts the beans. What’s more, the café itself has a quiet, friendly atmosphere ̶ perfect for conversation with a friend, or to sit down and enjoy a new book.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Langley, this popular café combines all your favourite things about a coffee shop with all your favourite aspects of a bookstore. It is intimate and family-run, which shows in the warm and friendly service, and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a hot cup of coffee with a friend. Wendell’s also serves Moja coffee, a local small-batch coffee roaster that sources its beans from international organic suppliers.
This quaint café has a huge selection of tasty hot and cold drinks. If you need caffeine, look no further than their espressos or specialty mochas and lattes. If you’re craving a more relaxing beverage, then try out something from the long list of soothing hot drinks, which includes hot chocolate, apple cider and Rooibos tea. You can even satisfy your hunger at Wired Monk, thanks to their delicious soup, salads and wraps.
The name is no joke: this is the place to get coffee and delicious doughnuts at affordable prices when you’re in Langley. Order a hot cup of joe (always served with a smile from their friendly staff) along with a sugary treat that’ll pick up your morning, noon or evening. There’s a wide variety of doughnuts available, ranging from chocolate glazed to chocolate strawberry to decadent vanilla.
This coffee and tea house offers organic fair trade coffee in both medium and dark roasts, as well as affordable refills when you really need to get your caffeine fix. You’ll find all your favourite specialty drinks at Porter’s, too, like caramel macchiatos, white mochas and cappuccinos. They also serve hot apple cider and chai tea lattes, perfect for warming you up on chilly, rainy days.
This café is committed to providing socially conscious, environmentally friendly service. Watershed imports fairly traded green beans from a wide selection of international coffee hubs through a local broker, and the coffee beans are all roasted locally. If you’re a fan of dark roast coffee, this is definitely the café for you, as bold blends are their specialty. You can also get hearty breakfasts (we love the house-made waffles with fruit) or satisfying smoothies and breakfast cookies.
