KAFFE | Coffee Italian Style x Caffe Di Beppe x Gastown

caffè mocha

Gastown—Caffe Di Beppe, the front-facing coffee shop portion of the two-hander space of Di Beppe, has quickly become a charming little cafe destination after replacing the short-lived Joe Pizza location from the same proprietors behind St. Lawrence and Ask for Luigi, Kitchen Table Restaurants.



During the day, before its apertivo happy hour setup or when the back Ristorante dining room portion opens up, the heavily Italian-themed shop feels both cozy and classy in its inviting space.

cappuccino

Fortunately, the coffee is also good, from their famously near-perfect cup of cappuccino to a deeply chocolatey "real" mocha (made without artificial syrups or flavouring). You can taste the care and precision in every sip.



The light baked fare, assorted freshly-made snacks, and flatbread slices all make for comforting treats on the go or for a nice little midday break.

twist soft serve gelato

For sweets, their gelato soft serve ice cream is another delightful treat—also available in their affogatos. Get the twist for added flavour.



Full of character and those authentic Italian flourishes, Di Beppe's cafe counterpart is always good for a stopover in its bustling Downtown Eastside adjacent neighbourhood.



Comfy and unassuming, Caffe Di Beppe is one-half of a delightfully enjoyable, casual Italian experience.
