49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts - Thurlow

49th Parallel Café & Lucky’s Doughnuts – Thurlow is the downtown Vancouver outpost of a coffee company founded in 2004 by brothers Vince and Michael Piccolo. The roaster emphasizes direct relationships with farmers and a sourcing approach built around coffees that match its standards for craft and consistency. At the Thurlow location, that coffee program is paired with Lucky’s Doughnuts, made fresh throughout the day, and a fuller breakfast-and-lunch menu. The result is a polished café format that reflects 49th Parallel’s broader identity as a Vancouver-born roaster with a careful, ingredient-driven style.[3][5][6][1]
