At Matchstick Coffee Roasters, we believe that all too often we place common things into categories that they need not belong.

Add a little “Christmas cheer” to your coffee during the holiday season at Matchstick Coffee’s Georgia Street location. Nothing punches up that late-morning cup of joe like a shot of Amaretto or Bailey’s. Just give the folks at the till a little wink and a nudge (and an extra $3) and you’ll be feeling cozy and caffeinated in no time. Don’t miss out on this December-only menu special.
So what’s a hipster-approved coffee roaster doing on a list about hummus? Sure Matchstick’s baristas sling some of the finest espresso in the West, but the food menu will surprise you with its selection of savoury goodies. You’ll find artisanal toast options aplenty (of course), including a satisfying hummus plate. Fresh-baked crusty bread is paired with a creamy spread made with fibre-rich kabuli chickpeas sourced from Vancouver’s own Eat Grain. Large communal tables and a creative vibe make their Chinatown café an ideal spot to spend the afternoon working away on your laptop.
Matchstick’s baristas take a casual cup of joe to a whole new level, meticulously brewing pour-over coffees with single-origin beans. The Chinatown location is always bustling with cool creative types looking to stay caffeinated and keep hunger at bay with tasty snacks and baked goods. Here, organic fresh-baked bread is toasted and served with a slab of butter. If you want to get creative, ask for a spread of nutty walnut butter, cinnamon-sugar butter, house-made seasonal jam or tapenade. You’ll also find toast on the menu at Matchstick’s charming original outpost, a quieter neighbourhood gem in Mount Pleasant.
