We walked there this morning anticipating a great breakfast but sadly they were closed. The sign on door says they open at 10:00. Website listed the hours to be open at 7:30. read more

It's just so delicious! First place I would recommend for brunch at an affordable price. Stayed in Vancouver for a week and visited the shop twice! Definitely will come back next time! read more

Excellent food quantity and quality for an extremely reasonable cost. Place is a little small, so it can get a little cramped when busy. The wait can be long, but the food is well worth it especially at the lower price point. The variety is unbelievable considering the size of the place as well. read more

Old school breakfast joint. Cheaper than most still standing and probably exactly as it was in the mid-90s. May it live forever!

Great breakfast Eggs Benedict especially good and one of the most reasonable places in town that has great breakfasts. read more

Very Affordable, delicious sausage, great service. Perfect for the morning. Spending well under $12 for coffee and a huge amount of food is well worth it read more

We need more places like this all over the city. Reasonable prices and good honest food

Probably the best breakfast place in Vancouver. Very reasonable prices. The owner is very nice and friendly. The cafe hash and eggs Benedict are fantastic. Probably much more delicious than some other fancier places where they are sold at double the price. read more

Evelyn's Coffee Shop - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Friendly staff and great service. If you love won ton soup I recommend trying their's- it's amazing! There is room to improve on the ambience; a little music playing in the background would been nice, but other than that- no complaints! read more

Chinese food, burgers, and breakfast is an interesting combination. Most restaurants can't do diverse menus well. But Duffin's is one of my favourite places, so I'm open-minded. I tried the beef & broccoli, a monte cristo sandwich, and a bacon cheeseburger. It was all decent. Not amazing, but also not bad. With the pricing, it's all fair, and I'm not disappointed with the quality at all. The fries aren't great. They are about equal to your generic freezer fries. I could do without them. I wish they had the beef and broccoli available with noodles and not just rice. read more

I like my diners. That's why I'm always looking for the next one. The dingier, the better! Check out my pics. Both were $6.75. Fries were frozen and that was really the only downer. The city hash, however, was surprisingly good. Very surprisingly! Recommended. Especially at that price. Go in, look at menu, order and pay at counter, and the food is brought out to you. Mom and pop shop and they have the Western/Chinese Canadian food too if you want to eat off that menu. I'm not, but you can. Small shop seating about 20 people tops. read more

See all

We were visiting Vancouver and other breakfast places were closed or had crazy lines. We decided to try Evelyn's Coffee Shop and it was DELISH! The decor is not amazing but the food was good and price was very reasonable. We also had a fairly large party but the food came out pretty quick. Some of us had the pancakes, eggs and sausage, and others had the Cafe Hash with Hollandaise sauce. We loved it! read more

Amazing food at an even better value Big portions and best price in town Spaghetti is amazing, and weird to say but their Chinese food is also great....lemon chicken read more

Delishous home Cooked food, very inexpensive place with a mom cooked me breakfast taste and vibe this whole in the wall place cold be a new regular stop. read more

Classic breakfast done right! I am happy to know a place like this still exists in Kits. I'm bringing my family and friends next time

With so many places boasting brunch in Vancouver, it's the places you least expect that bring the greatest joy. I present thee Evelyn's. Small, unassuming, quaint, and surrounded by other equally small and charming businesses, this 80s style diner is like a warm hug, on a dreary day. It's like the Cheers of Kits, people are regulars, and the manager knows your name and order. The fare is diner style with breakfast all day, sandwiches, burgers, and some unexpected Chinese food. My favourite is the simple, and palate pleasing Corn Beef hash with eggs over easy. Real corn beef (shaved off an actual corn beef, none of that lunch meet stuff), perfectly cooked, hand made hash browns, some veg, and topped with two eggs over easy, and a side of toast. Add some of THE BEST drip coffee I've ever drank, and a grand total of.... 9.50. Can you even? Like repeat that number! Pay at the counter, have a seat, and before you know it, steaming deliciousness! I swear though, if you're rude to the people there, I will hunt you down. They are so lovely, and warm, and hard working, if it's busy, be respectful of the work they do to make people happy and full. Please note, this is home style diner food, dont be expecting fancy concoctions ok? It's just good, ol fashioned, food in the belly. read more

Cheap and cheerful and service with a smile. Was very pleased with this hidden gem. So affordable and does the job

Suuuuper affordable, family owned breakfast place! Even if you order two Benedict's, it will come out to only $16! The menu has a variety of diner breakfast items. The place has a very cozy feeling to it as you can tell that the food is house made with care! The owners are really friendly too - it feels like a classic diner with a cozy vibe for locals. The food also came out very fast (which is huge for me because fast service is something that I look for as I go here and there)! I would come back for the excellent price and fast service :). read more

Evelyn's Coffee Shop - Eggs Benedict with hash browns on special (only 6.75?!) and ham/cheese omelet - Diners Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A great lunch today at Evelyn's Coffee Shop - just love that this place is still in business for so many decades. The burger lunch special was stuffed with lettuce, tomato, mushroom and cheese. Bun fried on the grill. Fries from the freezer, but very nicely done. Lady next to me said the coffee is very good! A varied menu. Very clean, friendly staff. This is the kind of place where couples from the 'hood come in for their lunch, and the owner calls out, "the usual?" It's where the young guys working construction give up the comfy seats for the elders. Bonus - you can buy a fresh banana for your dessert. Nice family-run place. Busy, busy at lunch with a huge volume of take-out. Lots of street parking, bus stops on the same block. read more

I ordered the cheese Bennie, I paid about $30 and got it delivered by Uber. It showed up in good time and was hot. But I didn't get the $5 mocha I ordered and was charged for. I'm not sure if the "cheese" is cheese wiz or melted singles slices? and the hollandaise sauce is clear and an odd texture.. I tried calling my Uber guy to see if he forgot the drink in his car but he never answered the phone, so not sure if that was him or the restaurant. read more

Cheap and tasty breakfast! Small cozy place, but friendly services.

Excellent cheap, no-frills family-run neighbourhood diner. I moved to the neighbourhood about a year ago and I've been to Evelyn's for brunch almost every Saturday. Recently I've started going during the week as well, since you can be in and out in as little as 15 minutes, paying under $10 for a full breakfast and a coffee. I especially like their hash browns, which are not actually deep fried but boiled/steamed? potatoes with a few crispy sides from the grill. Feels much less heavy this way. The owners are great people, very friendly. The only way to make me love Evelyn's more is if they opened on Sundays. read more

I've been there in my first visit in Vancouver Now I moved here so since I'm working in the area I'll go often Very good prices and fast service I love this little coffee breakfast place read more

If you ever have the craving for Homestyle cooking at a bargain price then Evelyn's is the place to be. One of the ways that I judge breakfast is by how you cook your bacon. Well, Evelyn's, you got it right. It's not greasy and it's surely not under- nor over-cooked. Since I work in the area, I'm often there for lunch and it's always a busy place. They keep things moving and the owner always has a smile on his face with a great welcoming vibe. If I were to complain about anything, then I'd only have in my arsenal that Evelyn's tends to run out of certain items on the menu which can be disappointing to some. To me, though, that just means I have to find another really great item on the menu - you'll just have to trust me when I say that it's not a difficult task. Keep up the great work Evelyn's! read more

The nearby sushi place was closed at 3 (What Sushi place closes at 3?) So I ended up deciding to try this place instead. Cheap breakfast ALL DAY? Say hello to Evelyn's. Most breakfast places you end up paying 10-15 bucks for a combo but at Evelyns the total rings to about 5-6 for bacon, pancakes and more? Am I complaining nope nope. I'm in some kind of breakfast bliss. This place is a cute little dinner that fits my budget with friendly staff. I kind of wish this breakfast place was 24/7. I also wish I knew this place in my university days but it's too late for that. Also you should tip the people at the counter if you can. The people who work here are so polite! read more

Cheapest all-day breakfast in Kits. It's pretty good, but you get what you pay for. Friendly staff! read more

Evelyn's is a gem, and not exactly hidden either - it has a healthy volume of clientele. It is a very straightforward, no-frills diner, delivering very well what is expected from a typical diner establishment. A good plus is they also make Holandaise sauce and eggs benedicts! The staff is kind. The ambience is cozy, and there is bar seating on the storefront which is excellent for people- and street-watching on Broadway. Evelyn's gets five stars from me, because despite being located in Kitsilano / Arbutus, the prices are that one would find at a genuine diner, i.e. no gentrified 'diner' fare for sit-down restaurant prices. I hope they keep it up. read more

I've been meaning to come in here for years. It's a shame I didn't come in sooner. Great breakfast at an absolute pittance. Family run and super friendly. What more could you ask for in a hole-in-the-wall dinner? Except decent coffee I suppose, which they also have. Get the pancakes! read more

What a cute little place! Disclaimer: this review is regarding their breakfast. They have a very large menu, but their breakfast is all I ordered. My husband and I got breakfast here a couple of times we were in Vancouver, and we loved it! Everything was really fresh and the price wasn't bad for what you got. The atmosphere was quaint and quiet, but it was fairly busy! The wait time was short and we got our food quickly. The breakfast wasn't fancy, but it was exactly what we wanted: simple and yummy! The reason I'm not giving it five stars is because it wasn't the best looking on the inside. (It was actually very unassuming from the outside and the inside.) It was like going to an actual diner, not a restaurant that was TRYING to be a diner. Anyway, it didn't affect the service, food, or wait time. We will always go back! read more

Food is good great service. Had the egg Benedict under $6. Food was great price was very good. But best of all was the service. Efficient, fast with a smile. By looking at the owner it must be a family business. I am impressed and I will go back when I am in the area. I just came from back 2 health seeing Jaimie Hennessy. The restaurant was 3 doors down. So on my next chiropractor appointment I will go here to eat. read more

I give this place a five star because the service is super friendly, super fast and super cheap. Food quality is ok. Not gourmet but good bang for the buck read more

Evelyn's Coffee Shop - Diners Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have continued to go to Evelyn's Restaurant for many years since I live in Kitsilano. It is a friendly, small restaurant with good food and at reasonable prices. Quite a bit of variety and I can have breakfast at any time of day. Nice to go to alone or to meet others. Coffee is a reasonable price. Glad to see that Peter (owner) has opened up again recently. read more

Breakfast all day. Comfort food in old style diner that's hard to find nowadays. Quick service. Breakfast standards are great. I would happily pay more than required for economically priced menu items. read more

High stars for the prices! Good food for good price! Simple diner with great selection.

I have been a big fan of this cafe for several years. It is tasty home cooked food at very reasonable prices. My regular breakfast is veggie hash, and my choice of seats is the counter at the window where I can read the paper and watch the world walk by. The menu is surprisingly diverse for such a small cafe and Peter is a welcoming host. read more

We went for our first breakfast in Vancouver. It is very unassuming from the outside and very modest on the inside. The food is very good with good portions and exactly what you expect at a real diner. The staff was friendly and you could tell it was a locals only place. We will definitely be back. read more

Super fast service, great food and great prices! We tried the café hash, 2 egg breakfast and veggie burger between us and were all impressed. read more

Great place for a meal like one my parents would make at home. Good prices and a better value than going to a crappy fast food place. Hidden gem in a retail/office area. I enjoyed my cheese and mushroom burger a lot and will definitely come back. read more

Great place. Seriously needs to be open for Sunday and Monday breakfasts tho, especially on long weekends. Must be giving up their busiest days as it is now. read more

No frills place where the owner seems to know everyone, which I love. It's very reasonably priced and the food is your basic breakfast fare -- nothing spectacular-- but definitely worth it in value and service. I would return! read more
