    View from outside at corner of 6th street and 10th avenue.

    A cozy little cafe at the corner of 6th Street and 10th Avenue in Burnaby. It is also in the little mall with a doctor's office, life lab, insurance company and other businesses. It has good coffees and teas and although we didn't have any food, the food items looked delicious. The servers were friendly but they were very busy. We would return here again. It can get pretty busy at times and difficult to find a seat. We went at 1:00 pm midweek and got one small table for 2 that 3 of us sat around. The place is tidy and has nice decor.

    Visited for their fluffy pancakes and they definitely did not disappoint! They're a bit on the expensive end but the portion was also large so it's a nice size to split between friends :) As warned, the pancakes do take a while to make but they did offer for us to get our drinks first. They also give a buzzer so it was quite nice to just sit at a table and wait. The interior is a lot more spacious than most cafes so it's easy to find a seat. Also as a note, the parking lot signs say max 30 minutes but the cafe workers informed us that this limit does not apply for their customers. We did go on a weekend so I'm not sure if this is always true.

    Croissant french toast

    Greeted warmly by the front counter staff as we perused the menu. Wife orders the croissant french toast and I the waffle brunch. We also got a couple drinks I forgot what wifey ordered but I got a latte. They give you a buzzer to retrieve your order when it is completed. Wife's croissant french toast first bite was good it was filled with banana and strawberries but as you go along and eat more the sweeter your mouth gets. Good for those with a sweet tooth. My waffle brunch came with waffle, smokie sausage m, fried sunny side egg and a mini bowl salad of sliced cucumber, tomatoes, avocado topped with sprouts. The waffle itself very fluffy though I wish the exterior was crispy. The sausage was a sausage nothing special, they score it crisscross on the top and it was cooked well. The salad, I think had a dressing on it which I think Gave it an odd taste. It wasn't gross nor was it good just every bite I was wondering what is that odd flavor. Over all decent cafe. Good if you're local and nearby but I won't make a special trip just to go.

    Fluffy pancakes at hiel cafe is so good, this cafe is spacious! it was quite delicious I got their signature soufflé pancake with two fluffy pancakes with a light whipping cream and seasonal fruits, include raspberry, grapes, blueberries and strawberries which were my fave it was actually sweet! For $18.99 the pancake was fresh and warm. I liked how airy it was and I do believe they make good pancakes, not too sweet and quite pillowy. We also got the bulgogi panini that is grilled. The bread was toasted nicely with the grill marks and quite crispy, I liked the beef and asked to sub the cheddar cheese for mozzarella which they accommodated that was really nice. I really enjoy their house salad and the dressing that goes with it, very Asian style and good brunch for $14.75 !

    Soufflé Pancakes with fresh fruit

    Amazing food and drinks! The pancakes were perfect light with just the right sweetness. And the drink were so good. Definitely will come back here when we are in town.

    This is a dish worth indulging for every week. What more can you ask for, rich and tasty cream, fresh garnishes, and a light, ethereal souffle pancake, and it's freaking huge. Glad to wait 20 minutes for an amazing dessert meal made to order while we take in some amazing espresso drinks. The location is suprisingly big, easy to get to with plenty of free parking. And the friendly charm of the staff is just icing on the cake.

    Tiramisu soufflé pancake. Make sure to pour the espresso shot on top. It enhances the flavors!
    Brian H.

    Both food and service were terrific. This is a cute little cafe that offers some delicious and unique soufflé type pancakes. Ordered the tiramisu soufflé pancake, crème brûlée soufflé pancake, and a bulgogi panini. All were amazing. The soufflé pancakes were super fluffy, with amazing flavors. I especially enjoyed the tiramisu one, as it came with a shot of espresso to pour on top. Although I'm not entirely sure it was just a pure espresso shot or not...but it surely enhanced the flavors of the pancake. The bulgogi panini was equally delicious. It came with a side salad, and the salad dressing was so good. It reminds me of the salads you would get at some Japanese restaurants (like a ginger miso or something), but I've never had one this good before. The ladies working there were also very kind. Great place to eat if you're in this part of town!

    Prawn & Smoked Salmon Sandwich

    HIEL Café The Soufflé Pancake $16.50 Prawn & Smoked Salmon Sandwich $12.50 Review: I think this is a really solid café! Since 2020, I've been seeing this place all over TikTok and have been dying to go! Luckily, I was able to have the chance to go visit recently! I would like to start off with the soufflé pancake which is what this café went viral for! The dish includes two HUGE fluffy pancakes which is topped off with a delicious sweet whipped cream and fruit! I would like to note that this soufflé pancake has a very "eggy" taste which is unlike any other pancakes that I've had. I do really enjoy the taste of egg yolks so it was very tasty for me nevertheless! The whipped cream was the perfect sweetness and texture as well! As for the sandwich, I was pleasantly surprised! I usually hate sandwiches and salad but this was very different! I love how the sandwich was stuffed with huge juicy jumbo prawns and smoked salmon I think their choice of cheese wasn't the most ideal as it was a bit strong and overpowered the prawn and smoked salmon taste. I would've liked if a milder cheese like mozzarella was used!! Overall, I would definitely come again and I would love to try all the different flavours of soufflé pancakes that are offered on the menu! I would like to point out though that the ambience and vibe of the café wasn't as cute and aesthetic as I would have hoped Rating: 8.5/10

    Croissant French toast
    Evan C.

    Updated my review - I'm not sure how to quote the previous one. We came on a Saturday and had a chance to try their waffles and soufflé pancakes as a family. They take a long time to cook - often 25 min or more - but dang it a worth it. Oreo waffles Strawberry waffles Crème brûlée soufflé These three were all amazing. Huge dishes and I had the crème brûlée. The flavor is AMAZING. Rich, sweet but not too sweet, very fluffy, light. I would have them again in a heartbeat. I almost don't feel like telling others but this place is the bomb for sure.

    I came here twice already! The first time my husband and I ordered a matcha latte (remember to ask them NOT to put sugar....it was quite sweet in terms of matcha latte!), soufflé pancakes abs croissant French toast. The soufflé pancakes were amazing!!! Two pancakes were in a dish. Very fluffy and soft and tasty!! The cafe also gave a lot of fruits. Indeed two people could share the soufflé pancakes but we also ordered the croissant French toast. We were quite stuffed by the time we finished both dishes. the croissant French toast was great as well!! We rarely saw cafes or restaurants would make croissants as French toast. It meant they soaked the croissants into egg mixtures abs pan fried them like the regular French toast. We ordered regular breakfasts - croissant sandwich (with ham and egg) and brunch waffles (egg, smokey and cheesy sausage, salad with avocado, tomatoes and cucumbers, and waffles with maple syrup). The quality of all these food was okay but we could have these better somewhere else (at other western restaurants). Overall, everything is good. But I highly recommend trying their soufflé pancakes. That's their signature dish here!! They have a small parking lot right next to the building. Free for half an hour. If you do dine in, you can park on the streets. Lots of free street parking in the neighbourhood. Customer service was good. Pricing was reasonable. I would definitely want to come back for the soufflé pancakes.

    Always good service, drinks and food here. I'm especially loving the beetroot latte for Valentine's Day.

    Matcha soufflé pancakes
    Carolyn L.

    I have been here a few times, usually on Saturday mornings. It was always quiet, maybe they served more of a lunch crowd? I like the quietness though I hope it will not mean closing down in near future. They made good flat white. I also liked the morning croissant which had bacon, cheese, ham and egg. At $5 it was a good deal. The matcha souffle pancake was nice though it was not my thing. I did not really care for the texture. Too soft and wobbly, but that was the whole thing -- being a souffle pancake. The matcha taste was not very strong either. I will like to come back to try the poke and sandwiches next time. The parking at the small lot was only for 30 minutes (not sure about the underground parking). Street parking a couple of blocks over offer 2 hours or unlimited.

    Such a gem in New West!…read more My partner and I just went here for coffee today and he ordered a cappuccino, while I got myself a matcha latte. Both drinks were made exceptionally well; impressively smooth, foamy, balanced, and clearly prepared with care rather than just being an afterthought. What really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The vibe feels genuinely inclusive and community-driven, with thoughtful touches like the pop-up bookstore featuring books on race, gender, and queer authors. It feels like a space built for connection, not just coffee. I also love how it transforms depending on the day. The daytime café energy is cozy and welcoming, while on select nights they stay open longer, serve alcohol, and host regular events like DJ nights, board game nights, and other community gatherings. It gives the space a lot of personality and makes it feel alive beyond the usual coffee shop experience. Definitely one of those places that feels more like a neighborhood hub than just a café. I'll be visiting a lot more soon!

    What a hidden gem! I loved the matcha and the barista was so nice :) I was surprised to see that…read morethey have both matcha and hojicha on their menu. The matcha taste was not too strong and not the umami matcha but still good nonetheless. I got it with oat milk instead and there wasn't an up charge. It doesn't come with sweetener and u can taste the matcha without it much more but I added 2 pumps of sugar and found that it increased the oat milk taste too much. I would recommend 1-1.5 pumps of liquid sugar (the barista helped me put it in so just ask!). The inside of the cafe was quite cute and they even had a little clothing rack selling second hand items like clothes and shoes! The space is quite big and spacious and has seating at the back as well and washrooms.

There were quite a few empty tables and the place felt pretty relaxed. I was doing a bit of work and ended up staying a little longer than the 90-minute table limit. One of the staff members came up to us and said, "Hey, you guys have been here longer than 90 minutes. You'll have to leave soon." I told him that was fine and asked if I could just finish my coffee. He said okay, but then about a minute later he came back with a to-go cup and said, "Here you go, you guys can leave now." Honestly, that caught me off guard. Especially since it wasn't busy and there were still plenty of open tables. During my first visit, Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure everything was great, and I don't think he would have handled it that way. The coffee is still great and I really like the space, but this experience definitely made me think twice about coming back.

Tried several pastries and breakfast items and really appreciated the quality of everything. Our drinks - flat white and cappuccino were very good and coffee is smooth. We had the French toast, mortadella sandwich - subbed mortadella with avo, matcha pastry and a butter croissant. Many of the baked items were made with sourdough and grass fed butter- sourced from Dope bakery so we were super impressed with that. Customer service was great and I would definitely recommend.
