Once Cafe Fish vacated their West 4th location in favor of Northern Yew, it was just a matter of time before someone claimed their prime retail space.
Vancouver-born coffee chain Take 5 Cafe has stepped up and promises to give their neighbour – a popular but undersized Starbucks – a run for their money.
Owners of award winning Caffé dé Medici Ristorante Italiano situated in the Robson Galleria, between Burrard and Thurlow, together with Aron Zipursky – Executive Chef of Caffé dé Medici bring Take 5 Café™ to you every day.
We are well known for offering European style coffees; the beans chosen for this coffee are carefully selected by our Roastmaster for their superior flavor qualities and are then artfully roasted to bring out the unique characteristics of each bean.
Take 5 Café™ offers healthy breakfast, gourmet sandwiches/panini, wraps, salads, baked pastas and desserts. All food items are made fresh in the Take 5 Café™ Central Kitchen and delivered fresh to our stores daily. Catering available for next day delivery or same day pick up at your nearest Take 5 Café™. Take 5 Café™ works with Big Brothers of Canada and other non-profit groups to benefit our community.
All Take 5 Cafes offer free wireless and since this store’s footprint is twice the since of Starbucks and the next block’s 49th Parallel, I have a feeling this spot will become very popular with the local laptop crew.

Yeah! Take 5 is one of my favourite downtown spots. The soups are fabulous and the spinach salad is amazing!
