Our Date Experience

We should note that Small Victory is a regular spot for us so this is more of a recurring date idea for couples. Small Victory is a coffee and pastry shop located in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighborhood. The coffee shop is one of a few boutique spots in Yaletown and is always busy.

While P and I like to think we try new things all the time we keep getting drawn back into Small Victory and we always enjoy it. Walking through Yaletown Small Victory is always a hot spot with people sitting outside on their chairs and tables enjoying coffee! The cafe itself is welcoming with wood floors, ceilings, and a stone countertop that seems to be never-ending. The decor is nice but the treat counter is where it’s really at. We always seem to be drawn to it.

Small Victory makes all of their treats in-house and it shows. The glass case showcases cheesecakes, croissants, pies and so much more. When P and I first met she treated herself to cheesecake as her own girls day out. I typically settle for a savory croissant. Both are excellent and highly recommended. On the drinks side, they tend to stick to the mainstays of most cafes: lattes, americanos, coffee, etc. Each of which is incredible and worth trying.

The cafe does offer to sit down seating and takeaway experiences. There are always people there socializing with friends or people quietly working in a corner. Overall this is one of the best cafes to enjoy either!

First, I gotta say… Small Victory serves the best coffee in town! But, there is a ‘but’ of course… It’s super busy at all times and the service is veeeeeeeeeeeeery slow, so slow in fact that I wouldn't recommend going there on Saturday or Sunday morning if you don’t want to ruin your weekend with a sudden impatience stroke. Or maybe it's just me… 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyhow, I love their coffee and dessert, even though I am not a big dessert eater. Just imagine, these guys have a croissant-doughnut stuffed with pistachio cream!!! It's to dye for and maybe to die from, if you overdo it 😉 ⠀⠀⠀

P

I'm originally from Toronto (recently moved here) so I had a few established cafes that I love to wander by in the morning, grab a coffee or sit down and plug away for work. When I first moved to Vancouver I didn't know many people and not having my go-to cafe was a little unsettling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SV has become that home away from home in Vancouver for me, making me feel more comfortable in the city. I typically wander by before work or on a weekend and grab a coffee. It also makes a good treat for P if I'm going to pick her up for a date. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a black coffee kinda guy so don't need any fancy latte's but their americano is great and they also have some really great black coffees on drip!
