About Cardero Cafe

Lesbian-owned Latin cafe on a quiet residential block in Vancouver's West End, a short walk from Davie Village. Sonia Zebadua and Nilka Garcia — partners from Mexico and Venezuela — serve counter-style cafe fare with a Latin American accent: the signature LGBT Panini (lettuce, guacamole, bacon, tomato), empanadas, tamales, and a Dulce de Leche Macchiato that's become a neighborhood staple. The space doubles as a small grocery stocking Latin American pantry items — canned goods, sauces, and imported treats like alfajores and brigadeiros. A handful of patio tables on the tree-lined street make it feel more like someone's front porch than a commercial cafe. It's the kind of place where regulars know each other by name.
