A laid-back, wood-and-art-lined neighborhood coffee bar that's the java-hugging heart of the West End's LGBTIQ+ community, Delany's is a good perch from which to catch the annual Pride Parade, although you'll have to get here early if you want a front-row seat. The usual array of cookies and muffins will keep you fortified while you wait.
A good spot to pick up a take-out coffee for a stroll to nearby English Bay Beach.
