Incognito Coffee - Vancouver

Super hidden gem, it's easy to miss so look for their banner outside on the sidewalk. They're right in the lobby of the VSO School Of Music. Love their coffee, I've been a handful of times already just for a good ol' regular brew coffee or Americano. This time, I tried their seasonal Salted Caramel Latte (half sweet) $9ish for a Large. Their coffee tastes good, service is fast, staff (shoutout to Robert) are super friendly and efficient. They also serve food such as sandwiches and pastries, but I haven't tried it yet. Lattes always come out with a beautiful dense frothy foam. One of my go-to coffee places in downtown. Plenty of seating room too. Cute and cozy, great place for a chat over a nice cup of coffee. I also really appreciate the complimentary milk substitutions for up to a 12oz cup.

If you're going to call yourself the best coffee in Vancouver, you better bring receipts. My tasting companion is a coffee snob one of those guys who's been known to drive 30 mins for a particular roast. We both like light to medium roasts which have higher acidity and more complex flavors. Incognito is medium to dark roast which gave it a robust flavor but it was too bitter for me. It was most obvious with the americano but I noticed it with the latte as well. A good cup of coffee but not the best.. at least in my opinion. I tried the almond croissant and it was a little stale. To be fair, it was 11am so I'm guessing it had already been in the case for a few hours. I liked incognito I just didn't love it

Found at the entrance of the VSO, building, Incognito is typical of a cafe adjacent to an educational institution. Light snacks, coffee and beverages are on offer from the small counter tucked away in the far back corner. While being warmly greeted by service staff, very clean premises and good overall appearance due to the mostly concrete walls, large staircase and open seating to the building entrance, you never really feel like this is a defined space and more than a convenience. I will say very good hospitality and the condiment station was fully loaded. If you're attending VSO it's great but all the pastries and snacks look like they are probably made offsite so it feels like a coffee break spot.

Came back to Incognito Van BC from Seattle and stop by breakfast w my hubby. My favorite Almond croissant and Cappuccinos. Service and taste good here. It's cold every time the door opens, but the classic Christmas music makes you feel at peace.

This is my second visit to Incognito. The shop is located in the lobby of the Vancouver School of Music. The coffee is always consistently great. My first visit we ordered baked goods but they tasted store-bought. I knocked off one star for that. We ordered the hot chocolate and the mocha latte dark. I highly recommend the coffees if you like a smooth, non-burnt cup of java to start your day.
