Mood be Cafe

good coffee on east broadway tends to attract a particular kind of local loyalty, the kind that doesn't need much explaining. mood be cafe sits at 381 e broadway, which puts it right in the middle of one of vancouver's more lived-in stretches, far enough from downtown that the people who end up here usually mean to. that matters. you're not stumbling in because it's convenient to a hotel or a transit hub, you're going because someone told you to, or because you've been before. the shop has built a real reputation in this part of the city, quietly and without a lot of fanfare. whatever you're ordering, the afternoon slot on a weekday is worth knowing about.
