Revolver Coffee has opened it’s doors and these boy’s are bringing an interesting take on your cup of joe. It’s owned by the Gianniakos family who also owns the Crema in West Vancouver. The new Gastown cafe is actually operated by the four brothers and Vancouver designer Craig Stanghetta, the man behind the design of Meat and Bread, Pizzeriafarina, Stackhouse Burger Bar and L’Abbattoir is responsible for the look of the place.

Revolver is what premium tea houses are to tea lovers but in coffee form, the deal here is the coffees are all specifically prepared depending on the type of beans and roast the customer chooses, you also only have one choice in size~12oz so it really is all about the specific coffee, they employ a very cool brewing processes including steel filter, clever, aeropress, siphon or French press for a nominal extra charge.

You really do get a hand crafted cup of coffee just for you and that really comes thru here. The brothers really love coffee and have a passion for doing it right. Besides coffee and espresso you also can munch on cookies and other fresh baked pastries~the croissants are killer.

For $3.50 for a hand crafted cup of coffee what more can you ask for ??, Revolver Coffee is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and Vancouver food scene.







Love the photos Sean – really does look like it’s a labour of love for them. Almost makes me wish I was a coffee drinker instead of a tea drinker! I will have to give them a look when I’m next in gastown
you have something to look forward to!,they really do it right there and I can’t wait to try their espresso
Hey Sean,
Thanks for the visiting us! Glad everything was just right and these photos are great!
Also, Melissa, we take our tea pretty seriously too. All are loose leaf teas, 4 of 6 of them coming direct from China, we have to order a year’s worth as there is only 1 shipment per year. We also have multiple temperatures of water for optimal brewing (Green’s at 180, Blacks at 212, etc.) All tea is weighed with a 10th of a gram scale, as is the water to keep the tea-to-water proportion optimal. The steep is also managed and timed.
Thanks for the review!
