Caffè La Tana

Caffè La Tana brings the charm of a classic Italian grocer and espresso bar straight to the Commercial Drive strip.

Fresh hand-rolled pasta, imported extra virgin olive oils, cured meats, and artisanal cheeses line the shelves alongside rich, freshly pulled espresso.

Mornings draw early visitors dropping in for buttery pastries, cornetti, and strong macchiatos, while afternoon crowds pause for plates of fresh pasta, antipasti, and crisp glasses of Italian wine.

The intimate neighborhood alimentari doubles as an everyday market where locals pick up specialty ingredients, house-made sauces, and fresh egg pasta to cook at home.

Friendly staff offer recommendation tips on wine pairings and regional Italian delicacies in a warm, stone-and-wood setting.

East Vancouver food lovers find an authentic, inviting corner to slow down, sip espresso, and stock up on handcrafted Italian goods.
