I was drawn in by the savoury aroma while walking on Pender Street. The ordering is done at the counter. There was a massive menu, all types of diets are accommodated, paleo, vegetarian, etc. I felt carnivorous so I had the Fesenjan Stew with lamb. It was served in a big bowl, with rice and salad. There were many veggies and sauces to choose from. I had the pomegranate salad dressing. My meal was delicious and healthy. Credit cards accepted. Ample seating. Ambiance was casual, kinda funky and delightful, especially for fast food watery attached to a mall (International Village). I will return with my meat eating son and vegetarian daughter in the near future! read more

Food isn't fresh and the photos do not add up to the actual food they serve. Might as well dine at McDonalds. Wasted my money and time.

Dear caveman cafe, marry me. Your options for massive portion healthy eats has me swooning. The second I found out about you I went with my friend after an exhausting personal trainer session and ate my body weight in salad, meat and rice. The fact that you have so many delicious options has forced us to come there two days in a row! Never change. Also your kitchen staff are personable and great at explaining how your build a bowl works! Try the habanero hot sauce, if you're a hot sauce lover your mouth will be breathing fire like a dragon. read more

Very good food and great service! I wish we lived closer, we'd be there all the time.

The food is so amazing here and prices are great too! Each dish is around $10 or under! And that is a rare find in downtown area! There is quite a good selection of meat/veggie option to go with each dish. So far I have tried their lamb platter and prime rib paleo pizza. The lamb is a marinated grounded lamb meat and it was delicious! I will definitely order it again in my next order again! My coworkers and friends said the same great things on their burrito, lasagna, and zoodles order too. Such a fabulous place to eat where you don't have to feel the guilt or leave feeling unhealthy after the meal. They have a great selection of vegan option too. Meals are prepared super quick in an assembly line which is perfect for a workday lunch! read more

Value. Good value. That surprised me. They give all these fancy alternate options for different types of diets, different nutritional needs, other health style choices ... Usually it's not cheap to eat this way. Maybe cheap is the wrong word cause it's not bargain basement pricing either but do you ever get quite a bit of volume for your money! We went for a pre game meal and getting something for each of us (four of us) was plenty too much, nevermind adding a bowl of chilli. Was so surprised at how big a bowl I got for the price. I was thinking it as an add on but it's a meal by itself! We enjoyed the quality of the food, however the counter setup was not good. The space is open and I found it very difficult to communicate with the staff as it was somewhat loud behind the counter and the staff a bit too soft spoken. They definitely lacked enthusiasm but it's a a counter style cafe so more focus on the food as opposed to dining experience read more

Ate here a couple times during our stay in Vancouver, historic Gastown district, as it was so close by. The restaurant is located inside a mall. I ordered the paleo pizza with cassava almond crust. You can choose all the veggies you want + a protein. I believe the smallest personal size was $9.99 so not too expensive. The zoodles were also good. The line can be a little slow around lunch time so plan accordingly. Highly recommend if you need something simple and quick to eat. There's plenty of vegan and gluten free options as well. read more

Quick and healthy food!! Finally! This cafe has a lot of potential. You can pretty much customize anything. I always get the custom salad and I LOVE that you can get a variety of different proteins (salmon, Chicken, tofu, roast beef, egg) without extra charge. I think they make their own dressings and sauces as well! The only "complaint" is that their menu is a bit confusing. There's too many different fonts, boards, colours, and it can get a bit overwhelming. I would suggest they create one large menu and separate it in either categories (keto, paleo, vegan) or (salads, pizzas, burritos) etc. And maybe have the topping labels on the glass window. This would probably save a lot of time explaining all the toppings etc. That's my two cents! Overall, quick and healthy and I would recommend it to others! read more

Wow! So happy I found this place. Amazing food,huge portions and they even do meal plans! Super great place. The owners are really nice and are happy to have you in. I can't say enough good things about this place! Get over here and try it. Starting to get very busy i can't stop coming here! Owners are amazing. read more

Organic food, made from scratch, at very affordable prices. I love it here! And don't be put off by the name, there are many vegetarian options. Today I'm eating the veggie chilli with cheese (he loaded it!!) and cassava bread. It's delicious!! Also, when asked if I wanted cilantro, he then loaded it up with that, too! Big portions, served with pride! The line-up at lunch time is LONG, but it moves quite quickly, so don't be scared. Come join the Caveman revolution! read more

I am so delighted I was recommended this place! If you want huge portions, cheap prices, and excellent flavors, CHECK OUT THIS PLACE! The only pause was the first cook. He seemed annoyed that I asked questions but it was my first time! Otherwise, the rest of the service line was super friendly. I ordered the monster burrito with a GF wrap (3 to be in fact). It comes with a boat load of vegetables, rice and beans, hummus, organic smoked tofu, and then unlimited sauces - which are all home made, dairy and GF). The burrito weighed more than my purse! And that was under $10. It was amazing! I literally split it with my friend and was full till the evening. I will absolutely come back to try other items! read more

Caveman Cave is a great cafe for folks that are attempting the Keto or Paleo diets. They have loads of tasty keto-friendly options and everything is super- customizable. What I loved: - The Tasty flavours - The flat bread pizza was fab - It can be speedy, but doesn't compromise on taste What I was less keen on: - They are a bit of an organisational mess. They forgot my husband's order, so we had to go back and ask again before they started making it. read more

Yes, it's very good! The Keto-Paleo profile is the primary identity, but they also provide vegetarian and vegan. The location is decidedly odd (International Mall in Chinatown) but it's a successful place regardless. The decor is funky eclectic with a hippy-caveman vibe. I had a veggie pizza that was made with a cassava crust, which was a really nice base - chewy, dense and tasty! I'll definitely come back to try more foods. The Moroccan styled dishes are calling me! The thing that would make it better is to have the menu and ordering choices be more organized. read more

If you are on a Paleo or Whole 30 type diet, this place is gold. If not, it is a place where the menu and workflow seems like they need improvement. Although there is clearly a very strict training regime here and the people are good at delivering a consistent Seinfeld soup nazi style experience,.. somewhere they didn't complete the job and it becomes a bit of a broken telephone game between the ordering person and the usually older and less on the ball person running the cash. The food is simple and healthy, but not always fast but if you are eating a work lunch day in and day out, this would be a good place to get decent protein, healthy greens, and not pack on the pounds. read more

This place is perfect for a quick, healthy lunch that is satisfying and not too expensive! They have a range of different dishes but I always go for the Caveman Platter which is rice, beans, salad, a protein (chicken/beef/salmon/tofu) with extra toppings. It can be busy during lunch but thankfully the queue moves really fast and effectively. read more

Im a bad cook that's why I ordered from a restaurant, but I could have done WAY better than this for 1/4 the price. I ordered the paleo 1/2 pound burger and was pretty bummed when I got it, mainly because what I got was a mess in a box with a couple random taco-shell-looking things. The avocado was brown and I had to eat the ingredients piece by piece with a fork, no "burger" to be found. When you order a burger you kind of hope for a burger, and not a box full of random ingredients and a couple green taco shells. The caveman lasagna was three fork fulls followed by a dry heave then I gave up. again - not even close to anything resembling lasagna but a mix of mashed up sweet potatoes, eggplants and oil, lots of oil - gross. read more

I went there for their burritos. My 1st visit I tried the beef cheek burrito. Great staff guided me through the building process. Love garlic so they chopped the roasted garlic and wow. Nice size burrito, not too heavy to feel like you've over eaten. The next time I had the chicken burrito. Nice, moist & delicious. After many visits, I decided to try something else on the menu. The Lamburgini. Lamb/burger sandwich. Easily became one of my favorite sandwiches. All around, the bun, the double patty with a cheese melt, the grape tomatoes, lettuce & sauce makes it a fantastic sandwich. read more

What a great find! I often go to the movies at International Village (Tinseltown), but I'd never seen this restaurant. They have a variety of foods. I had a sandwich with wild salmon - it was great. Once you choose the type of meat (or not) you want, you move along the row and tell the server what other toppings you want. My sandwich was only $10. It's all organic and healthy food. I'll be back soon and many times. If you're not a big eater, you might have half left over for lunch tomorrow. They also have really great, healthy desserts. Another nice touch is the free water. No need to buy a sugary drink or a bottle of water. Just have a cup of cold tap water from a 3-gallon jug. Even better if you've brought your own bottle. Also, they have a bin for the compostable leftovers. read more

I love the variety of food offered here which caters to all kinds of dietary restictions. Being on a low carb/sugar diet, I ordered their caveman lasagna and paleo bread. With the interesting combination of meat, cheese, and vegetables, I didn't even miss the pasta. I probably could have eaten the whole thing but I controlled myself and left half for dinner. It was also a nice treat to have paleo bread and not feel guilty. The bread was a flatbread similar to an indian roti but a bit thicker. This, I ate all of it. I can't wait to return and try their zucchini noodles. read more

What a great spot for paleos and vegetarians. I've been here a number of times, but most recently with 6 coworkers for lunch. We all had ordered ahead of time online and beat the big lunch rush, so were able to sit together. The lasagna with meat sauce and mozzarella is a great choice; and one of my favourites. Both coworkers who got this really enjoyed it as their first caveman experience. I had the Lamburghini on cassava (the option of yam and cassava is my preference), which is excellent. Other coworkers had a tofu burrito and salad with salmon on it. These were both enjoyed a lot. The only slight improvement that could be made was suggested by my coworker who ordered the beef platter. The meat in her platter was very grisly, so she didn't eat much of it--she did enjoy the flavours of all the sides that came with it, so that was a plus. Will definitely be back for the lamburghini and caveman lasagna! Jan 2018 Update: recently went back and tried the chicken platter and was really underwhelmed. There was a complete lack of flavour despite all the different ingredients and sauces. read more

What makes this restaurant stand out is that they custom make each dish to satisfy whatever dietary needs you have. They do this in an extremely personable way; they take the time to explain about all of their different ingredients, and they give you their undivided attention as you explain to them exactly how you want everything prepared. They always get everything right! I have tried mostly everything that I could eat there, including my favourite, the Zoodles (zucchini past) and Tofu dish. I can also attest to their monster burrito, which was filling and satisfying. This is a great addition to the neighbourhood, and I enjoy coming back here regularly. read more

Located in Tinseltown, next to MacDonalds this place offers a wide variety of health fare. They have so many options geared towards healthy eating and for those with dietary restrictions. Keto, Paleo, diabetic, options available. We were a bit weary at first as our past experience at other places offering this menu but Caveman did not disappoint. We were both so surprised at how tasty and clean the food was. We will definitely return if we are in the area. read more

My second time coming to Caveman Cafe. I wanted to try there Caveman Steak. It was on sale 13.99 originally 15.99. I was disappointed, I asked for medium rare it came out really well done. I was little surprised watching the front food prep staff making the food. Most of the where looking at the instructions how to prep the food ( I guess that's why my steak came out well done ). The burrito I had before was not too bad but lacking some flavour. Good price for the food. I'll give them a few more tries and see if that changes my rating. read more

I walked by this place and book marked it for future reference on September 1. They cater to a wide variety of dietary types which is a huge plus for me. Great Portions for really cheap and lots of seating with a casual atmosphere. My only real issue that when I inquired about what was actually in the crust the ladies serving me and no idea nor did they look interested in figuring out that information for me which hit me the wrong way. I get that it has vegetables, however, I wanted to know what specific veggies as there are two that I am allergic to and felt that I had a right to know. They sell a Paleo wrap, however the tortilla used is actually not Paleo, therefore, there is some misinformation and guidance on this. The filling can be considered Paleo, however, they need to take this off the menu as Paleo since the wrap is anything but. It was the first time in months in which I went out to dinner with my good friend Kent and actually walked out feeling good and healthy. read more

This place has been on my radar for awhile now. The selection is great and the portions are huge. I had the keto lasagna and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the pasta noodles. I didn't have a chance to eat all day so I was happy that this filled me up to food coma. My mom has the salmon platter with cauliflower rice. It was also good. The cauliflower rice was delicious . I also ordered the keto donut, keto chocolate mousse and my mom ordered the vegan mango cheesecake. The donut and cake are good but I think I'll skip the chocolate mousse next time. Really happy I was able to check this place out. Will definitely be back to try out more of the keto menu!! read more

I stopped by today and tried their Paleo Spaghetti with Marinara. I wasn't sure how good it would be, after all, it is zucchini pretending to be pasta. Wow! It was SO good! I don't like a lot of cheese, so I just skipped it all together, and it was still amazing. The marinara sauce tasted really fresh and flavorful too. I will definitely be back to get this again! read more

We decided to try out Caveman last night based on all the positive reviews from previous Yelpers. My significant other and I are currently trying to be healthier by being mindful of what ingredients we put in our body. As some of you know, it becomes a bit of a struggle sometimes if you're trying to keep count of your macros while also finding a place to dine out at. The cafe is a cafeteria style restaurant, where you go up, customize your order, and then pay at the very end. There were quite a few people working the assembly line and they were all very friendly people. I had some questions about certain things (such as the keto pizza's 7 veggie infusion crust) and they explained everything with a smile. I liked the fact that they didn't shy away from educating customers on the healthier options of their menu. My SO got the zoodles, which are both paleo and keto friendly, with meat sauce, prime rib, and cheese. As with any cooked zoodle dish, the sauce ends up being a little on the runny side, because of all the liquid that runs off the zucchini. The dish, however, looked and tasted great. Some might find it a little on the bland side (because of the zucchini liquid runoff) but that's nothing a little salt and pepper can't fix. The portion was very generous and enough to save for today's lunch. I wanted to try something different that you can't usually get elsewhere, so I went with the keto pizza with the 7 vegetable infusion crust. A single order doesn't get you a whole pizza, but a relatively large triangular slice. I chose beef cheek as my protein because beef cheek is life, as well as a bunch of other veggies and cheese. I really liked how they showed me what the crust looked like before starting the order. It looks like a mound of chopped spinach that's been formed into a pizza slice, so I guess that can be off-putting for some. The pizza crust was actually pretty good! I took off a corner of the crust that didn't have any ingredients on it and it had a nice balance of saltiness with a slight hard crust on the bottom. The top is a little softer, and the inside looks slightly bubbly like airy pizza dough. This 'pizza' can be a little hard for pizza aficionados to appreciate, but I fully enjoyed it and would order it again. I only knocked off 1 star because their little paper cups for water should be much bigger. They look like the little dixie cups you get from the dentist to rinse your mouth with. They should also come up with a better tray return system. They have a shelf that people just put the trays, plates, bowls, and utensils in, but there's no real way to organize it, so people just end up stacking everything on top of each other and it makes a mess. read more

Tinseltown Mall is always full of surprises (one of them being how does the mall survive when most of the storefronts are empty?) But Caveman Cafe was doing a brisk business when I got there. I was a little overwhelmed at first by the options and possibilities, but the staff were terrifically friendly and warm and set me in the right direction. I had a stew special, which wasn't what you'd traditionally consider a stew - you have your choice of chicken or beef, and then they add sauce and rice separately - but it was delicious, and it came with a large salad. My friend had a paleo pizza, and I had a taste, and it was startling how much flavour there was - huge chunks of lamb atop a sort of spinachy "crust". Everything had a healthy home-cooked kind of feel to it, and my stomach, which has been very sensitive lately, felt quite happy afterwards. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Didn't know it was possible to not sacrifice taste when eating healthy. I ordered the platter with chicken. Along with my protein, I was given a healthy serving of rice and Greek style salad. The salad was delightful and exhibited not only flavor, but a unique array of color coming from the fresh and organic vegetables. I topped my chicken with a savory tandoori sauce that perfectly finished off my heavenly bowl. P.S. - Adding ripe avocado for only 1.50 is the way to go! read more
