This Vancouver-based coffee chain is always a great option for getting work done. Most Blenz locations around the city have late-night hours to accommodate students who need to hit the books after dinner. If you need to pull an all-nighter, head to 24-hour Blenz outpost just off No. 3 road in Richmond. The café menu features everything from basic drip coffee to gourmet espresso-based beverages and sweet specialty drinks, so you can keep caffeinated well into the early morning hours.
Forget about foreign imports or influences – this coffee shop is entirely Canadian and first opened at Robson and Blute in 1992. Since then, they’ve expanded to include Richmond among their collection and this shop does not disappoint. The interior has a modern, futuristic look and the baristas produce wicked foam art on their matcha lattes. The 24-hour café is a great spot for night owls. When you can’t sleep, bring your laptop down and use their free Wi-Fi to catch up on work.
