One of my go to spots for a good doughnut and coffee is 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters. 49th Parallel is a BC-founded specialty coffee company has just opened their newest location at 93 Lonsdale Avenue. Located in North Vancouver’s Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood, 49th Parallel Lonsdale in North Vancouver is the company’s first on the North Shore.
The Lonsdale location will have fresh doughnuts made in-house every morning with seasonal, locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. Exclusive to this location is the new “Mountain Highway” doughnut. For all the details about this exclusive new doughnut – read on!
To celebrate the launch of their newest location 49th Parallel has two specials:
- Limited edition single origin filter roast called ‘North Shore’ – The North Shore roast tastes of bright red fruit acidity balanced with a deep spice sweetness, giving the coffee a creamy, syrupy mouthfeel.
- Mountain Highway Doughnut – the doughnut features a pastry made with the new North Shore blend, chocolate ganache, topped with pecans and a chocolate dipped snow covered marshmallow to represent the local mountains.
49th Parallel Lonsdale – Cafe Experience
I went by just before their grand opening to try their newest doughnut as well as enjoy a coffee. The space is absolutely lovely, and I can definitely see it being a neighbourhood favourite. It is very near the Seabus and it’s just a few minutes walk away. The large windows in the cafe let in a lot of natural light and it would be such a great place to catch up with friends.
The Mountain Highway donut is one of the most decadent Lucky’s doughnuts I have had to date. It was very delicious, however it is a very sweet creation. If you have a huge sweet tooth this doughnut will be right up your alley. Unfortunately for me I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, so it was a little too much for me after a couple bites.
Worth a Try?
Yes! 49th Parallel and Lucky’s is a long time favourite of mine and I am so glad to see them open a new location. You can never go wrong with a nice latte and a delicious Lucky’s doughnut. 49th Parallel Lonsdale officially opens its doors to the public on March 25 and will be open seven days a week from 7am – 5 pm.
