Our Story

Take Five Café was established in Vancouver in 2003 with a vision of bringing a welcoming European-style café experience to Metro Vancouver.

The first Take Five Café opened on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver in 2003. Over the following years, the brand expanded throughout Metro Vancouver, growing to multiple locations across British Columbia and becoming known for quality coffee, fresh food, and friendly customer service.

In 2011, Take Five Café underwent a major rebranding initiative as part of its continued growth. Today, Take Five Café proudly serves communities across Metro Vancouver, continuing a tradition that began more than two decades ago. While the company has evolved over the years, our focus remains the same: creating welcoming spaces where people can enjoy exceptional coffee, fresh food, and genuine hospitality.
