Vancouver’s downtown core just got a little more flavour and a lot more Italian. Ciclo Espresso, known for its stylish grab-and-go concept rooted in traditional Italian café culture, has opened its second location at The Post, right between Amazon’s Vancouver HQ and the Michelin-recommended Acquafarina.
This isn’t your typical downtown coffee stop. Housed in a custom container café, the new Ciclo location is designed for efficiency without compromising quality. Open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, it offers the same thoughtfully curated experience that made its first location a go to spot in Yaletown, with a few new surprises.
The Star of the Show: The Panino Porta
The standout addition to the new location is the Panino Porta, also referred to as Portafogli, a fresh take on the Italian panini, made with imported ingredients and designed to reflect the bold, satisfying flavours of Italy’s street food scene. It’s already becoming a customer favourite. These have people lining up early, get there before they sell out!
“We wanted to bring a slice of Italy to downtown Vancouver, and The Post was the perfect next step,” says Fabrizio, Owner at Ciclo Espresso. “The Panino Porta is our take on fast food done right, authentic, fresh, and full of flavour.”
What You’ll Find at Ciclo Espresso atThe Post
While the Panino Porta is the big draw, there’s more to discover at this new outpost:
- Freshly roasted Italian coffee, made in-house
- A curated selection of Italian sodas and specialty beverages
- Artisan cheeses and cured meats available to go
- Fresh-baked pastries and house-made desserts
- A small selection of premium pantry items for Italian food lovers
Whether you’re picking up a quick espresso before work or grabbing a mid-day bite that feels a little indulgent, Ciclo is blending speed and sophistication in a way that feels true to both Vancouver and Italy.
A Location That Makes Sense
Set right in the evolving tech and culinary corridor of West Georgia and Homer, Ciclo Espresso at The Post is perfectly positioned for downtown professionals, passersby, and those in search of something better than the usual quick lunch.
With Acquafarina next door and Amazon HQ just steps away, the new location brings Ciclo’s distinctly Italian café vibe to a new crowd — one that appreciates quality, but doesn’t always have time to sit down for it.
Although the new Ciclo quietly opened last week, it didn’t take long for word to get out about this new hot spot. Guests can expect a warm welcome and the same care that’s made the original location a community favourite. Come early, come hungry.
