Vancouver is home to so many hidden gems that it can be hard to choose where to go first.

If you're on the hunt for the best coffee shop in the city, then you are in luck.

A top influencer from Vancouver B.C., named Emma Leger, gave a breakdown of all the best cafes to visit for your next coffee run.

Leger is basically a local celeb with over 614,000 followers on her Instagram, @emmaleger, as well as a huge following on her YouTube Channel and podcast.

Although she is constantly travelling the world on her influencing adventures, she still has some favourite cafes right in her hometown.

She is clearly super busy, with all of her businesses, but is most definitely a coffee expert.

Many are inspired by Europe — especially France — and are perfect if you want to take a mini-vacation.
