What a cute cafe. We got here just as they opened and I am glad we did. They are packed as we left. They only have espresso type drinks. I got the Americano and husband got a latte. Yum. And I am fussy about my coffee. I got the salmon Benedict on a waffle, my husband got the veggie bowl and son got an egg bagel. All was great. I have never had a Benedict on waffles. I don't like waffle and I decided to try it. So glad I did. I ate all of it. Highly recommend. Staff is friendly. read more

Waffles are not good. They are so dry that they turn to powder when you try to cut them.

This little restaurant on Robson St in Vancouver is a must have for breakfast. When we arrived the restaurant was busy, but the service was so quick. We received a menu right away and were able to order and pay before being seated making getting our food that much faster! We still received table side service. We chose to sit outside since the weather was crisp and beautiful, however inside was just as charming. We both ordered a Benny. One salmon and ine ham with a bagel (you can also chose a savory waffle to have your Benny on) there were several choices of coffee so we went with the cappuccino and a latte, both great choices! read more

Quaint little place. There are about 6 tables inside and three outside. I did a to-go order this morning. Restraunt was clean and not packed at 11am. It does not have a huge menu but does have vegan options. If you leave hungry, it is your fault. Portions are large. Definitely a good place for breakfast. read more

This is one of the few places that was open on a weekend for breakfast in the downtown area. I got here early right when it opened and had no trouble ordering and getting a seat.

The restaurant is quite small and generally has a line up to get in. They do not take reservations. We only waited for 5 minutes before getting a table, however the tables are very close together so it makes you feel like you are not having a private meal. On the flip size, service and food was amazing. I tried the chicken and waffles and definitely want to come back for seconds. read more

In full transparency we came here because the other two restaurants we had in mind had long lines. Then, we appended to take a chance on this place and discovered it had decent review. Seating here is very limited and while the menu is small it has many excellent options. Staff is fairly hands off, they are not overly welcoming and don't really check in on you once your food is delivered. They do; however, pressure you to leave once you have finished eating, quickly clearing the table. All that aside the food was tasty as was the coffee and once you order at the counter and are seated, the food comes out relatively fast. This is impressive considering all drinks are made to order as are the food options . I had the Breakfast bowl be it was cheesy and delicious with a perfectly poached egg and tasty hollandaise sauce. I also had an Americano which was piping hot and very tasty. There aren't any frills about this place salt and pepper were actually empty at the table and I had to flag someone down for cream and sugar. But it's a great spot overall and I'd return if in the area again. Also, street parking is easy! read more

This place is a small but in demand breakfast nook. There's a good reason for that - it is absolutely delicious. My wife and I enjoyed breakfast here a couple of days ago, and we decided to split orders of salmon Benedict and crab Benedict, both being served over a bagel rather than the beautiful waffles they had, simply because that is our preference. The service was fast, the tables were clean, and the food was delicious. Service was impeccable, and the staff could not be more polite. The chai lattes also rounded out the meal very well, and overall, we felt this was one of the better breakfast that we have had in recent years. Highly recommended for people living in and visiting Vancouver. we will be back! read more

Came here for breakfast while in Vancouver based on the suggestion of a family member who lives here. It is a very small place and can be crowded so be prepared to wait for a little. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The food is very good. The Belgian waffles are delicious- not hard, but slightly crispy outside and soft and airy on the inside. I'd definitely come back if I was from the area. read more

The tomato sauce the pour on top of the beans and eggs was cold (like just taken out of the fridge) the first bite was awful. Feeling the warmth of the beans and eggs and the cold of the tomato sauce made me remember my lazy breakfasts at home. The service was good and the ambience as well.

I am picky about hollandaise sauce and this passed the test. They know how to make their bacon! It's not too crisp and it's not too underdone.

If you consider yourself at all someone who knows and appreciates quality food, you'll want to skip this place. Here's why. The place itself is tiny and not very clean, but I thought maybe it's one of those holes in the wall that just serves amazing food. That wasn't the case. We ordered the Mixed Berry Waffle and the Salmon Benny. Salmon Benny: The dish came with dirty fingerprints on the edge (Yummmm!) The egg came soft, the Salmon was turning colour and tasted unusually fishy (see pic.) The potatoes had brown scrapes on them....not sure if that was seasoning or oven scrapes....let's hope it was seasoning....(see pic.) The Arugula had also gotten rotten and turning yellow. I stopped eating less than half way through....the whole dish was actually disgusting. A few minutes after we left the place.......I started getting a headache and my throat started to burn.... The Mixed Berry Waffle was average, at best. So, the deal with this place is .....you show up...order a new Mercedes Benz, pay for it, sit down and they show up and serve you a rusty bicycle with a tire missing and a torn seat.......they look at you and say, "saddle up buddy and enjoy!." Yup. That pretty much sums it up. read more

The best waffles I have ever had in my life, and I have eaten a lot of waffles. Crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. They were insanely good. You have to eat it fresh and right away. You can see the manager making the waffles and how attentive she is. Do not come here looking for pancakes. First come first serve, limited seating and you order and pay at the front counter before sitting. Came here with my husband, and he got the Salmon Benny on top of a waffle and I got the Majesty waffle with fruit. His had smoked salmon, avocado, arugula salad, herbed potatoes, perfectly poached eggs, and a heavenly hollandaise. You can opt for bun or English muffin instead of waffle if you want. My Majesty waffle came topped with slice banana and strawberries along with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, drizzled with honey and covered in crunchy Love. We also had a cappuccino and an americano, both served piping hot in big mugs. 100% highly recommend coming here! Will be my go to spot any time I'm back in Vancouver. read more

Amazing waffles at this little spot! We were just visiting for the weekend, and needed some brunch before leaving town. The waffles were crisp but so fluffy inside, topped with fresh berries and whip. The coffee was decent, the others seemed to really like their cappuccinos! All of us cleared our plates. The staff was very nice and service was seamless even for how busy it was. I will say this place is small. It is designed for small groups. If you have a group of 4+, there are few seating options. You order first, then grab a seat. So once you order you have to know what table you want to try and grab. We were a group of 5, so thankfully another large group was leaving right after we ordered. read more

While visiting Vancouver and staying downtown, I found Chambar on yelp. It had good ratings and was…read moreless than a 10 minute walk so my husband and I decided to visit for dinner. We visited on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is located near BC Place Stadium and had FIFA going on, so it was fun seeing diners in their jerseys. The atmosphere was slightly lively yet still casual and comfortable. The interior design is very warm and lovely. You couldn't go wrong with either a casual dinner with a friend or a little date night here. To start - they brought out a small gazpacho, courtesy of the chef. I can't recall what ingredients were in it but it was definitely tasty and refreshing. I was very thankful that they served it. We began by ordering the foie gras and prawn dumplings as appetizers. Duo De Crevettes - I love a good dumpling but this one was a miss for me. Both the filling and the broth were VERY salt forward. :( Foie De Canard "Villa Lorraine" - This was my first time trying foie gras. The sound of pairing French toast with liver sounded odd to me, BUT it worked so well together! The slight sweetness and the thickness of the toast helped balance the extremely rich foie gras. The granita was definitely the star. A wonderfully refreshing palate cleanser after each bite. For our main dishes we ordered the moules frites and duck. Moules Frites - Congolaise - This dish was PERFECT. The portions were generous. The tomato broth was a happy medium of savory, salty, creamy, and slightly sweet. I loved that there were an abundance of extra little veggies in the broth as well (I believe bell peppers and onions). The fries were just a tad on the salty side, but who doesn't love fries? Le Canard - This dish was a 10/10. The duck was cooked flawlessly tender. The gnocchi had a nice chew and when the starchiness felt like it might be too overpowering... the salad balanced everything out in the end. The varying textures from the duck, gnocchi, celery, hazelnuts and apples made this a fun dish. Service was amazing throughout. The staff was attentive the entire time and took time to explain each of the dishes. Their enthusiasm and professional demeanor elevated our dining experience. All in all, definitely a great place to dine at!

Nero Waffles

After grabbing dinner with some friends, we wanted to grab dessert. I knew Nero Waffle was nearby,…read moreso I suggested it. I've only been to the original location on Robson years ago, so wasn't sure if the quality had stayed the same, but we thought it was worth trying. We ordered a Tiramisu and a Bresilienne to share between four people. It came out it in relatively short time. And wow, they were both even better than I remember. Their waffles are incredibly crisp and light, despite the amount of toppings on them. I don't know how they make them so they stay so resistant to going soggy. And despite the amount of whipped cream, ice cream and sauce on them, the waffle was always able to balance out the sweetness. Their waffles are just perfect balance of flavour and texture. Service was also quite impressive. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and brought share plates with out being asked. Overall, a great dessert. I don't know why I haven't returned earlier.

This could be the greatest staff in all of Southern BC. Patient, kind, humorous. Not only can they explain the different items and their ingredients, they can describe exactly how it all tastes. To which they are 100% accurate! The six of us played community food, but what's the point here? All the poutine was awesome. Oh well, it's fun to share. Yes, get The Gaucho "Cowboy", but also try the Butter Chicken, Vegetarian Chili and my favourite, the Le Montreal. ALL the poutines rocked! The burgers are juicy and full of flavour. This group has found a way to marry all the flavours so they complement each other all through the meal until the end. Portion size was another crazy, happy surprise. So much so that the cost no longer matters (as you may have guessed, the cost was reasonable). Still, if it's just a couple of you, you might go regular as opposed to jumbo...unless you're thinking late night leftovers. We pigged-out and didn't get a chance to reheat this food. Mistake on my part. 05/25

They chose a charity for the quarter and it's $10/person. I really wish more places did this. The service you get is top notch.

Service was good, friendly. The restaurant is the same as I recall, clean enough. A little cramped and the seating isnt too comfortable. Its really not a good place to hang out for a long time, but rather sit down, eat, and get out type of place. I had the lavender latte and the Tagine this time. Ive had it before and at least its pretty consistent. Ive tried several other things on their menu in the past too, all pretty solid 4/5. Nothing standout as so amazing to deserve 5 stars, but consistent and tasty. I did have a reservation which they charge $10/person for, purely for donation to a charity and does not contribute to your meal at all, and also nonrefundable. While I find this somewhat annoying, I dont blame them for doing this from a business standpoint. They always have a lineup so there is no shortage of customers for them. There is no reason they need to deal with the headache of a ton of reservations. On the flip side, they honoured my reservation in a very timely fashion and I bypassed the line, so props to them for doing that part right. If you have to park, then you may find street metered parking or use one of the nearby paid lots.

Everything is a bit sweet but that's what you're looking for when you order an ice cream waffle, right?! The Oreo was also a great choice. The tables are a bit small, but it's manageable. If it was full, I may be a bit claustrophobic but I think it's fine if there's some room. Overall, highly recommend for a latte or a sweet treat. They have some seasonal mini leige waffles if you're looking for something on the go!

We ordered: fish dip - cured/smoked white fish with onions and capers, served with saltine crackers. The fish was good, but the saltine crackers were nothing special. I would have preferred some toast instead or something other than opening a package of saline crackers from the grocery store. 2/5 for the crackers, 4/5 for the fish. 3/5 for this dish overall. The Burger - good beef but a bit too salty. Served with cheese and bacon on a bun. No veg. I prefer a classic American style burger personally. The fries were just ok - on the dry side. 3.5/5 Roast chicken - excellent piece of chicken. Perfectly cooked, moist, crispy skin. Excellent sauce and sides. For me this was a 5/5. Duck Breast - nice cook on the duck, solid dish. 4.5/5. Side of Cabbage - 2 quarters of a head, grilled with an anchovy sauce. Actually quite nice if you like cabbage. 4/5. Also tried their seasonal cocktail, apple Spritz. It was ok. Basically sparkling apple juice with vodka. 3.5/5. Service was very friendly. The restaurant was not that spacious but comfortable enough. Their prices are high. Expect to pay fine dining prices, but this place is very casual. For what they offer I would say this place is just a bit too expensive. Street metered parking available. Not a bad place if you want some French classics. Not much competition for them around here anyway.

I'm a sucker for a good multi-roaster cafe, and Revolver is a fantastic one. They serve up beans from all over, and they do it right, thanks to staff with eyes (and noses) for detail. Barista Soho and I chatted about NYC[1], and he told me La Cabra has a bakery there[2]. Savored a lovely pourover from Toronto[3], served hot. That very same day, I returned and had a decaf espresso that slapped[4]. Ample seating. A fair bit of natural light somehow makes it into the shop. Good for a date, coworking (especially in their next door "Archive" space), catching up with friends AND discovering coffee from around the world. Find this shop in Gastown, a short walk from the SeaBus station. [1] Yes, his name was Soho. Not SoHo. [2] Saved for my next trip to the East Village.

Revolver is what I'd consider a multi-roaster shop with a focus on the coffee first. The bar is made up of high quality small batch grinders, perfect for grinding fresh for each cup, and a long line of pour over setups to give each cup the attention it deserves. Behind the bar you can see an Aiden by Fellows for quick batch brewing quality beans to the standards of the specialty coffee association or quick recipe testing. The menu is predominantly descriptions of the coffees they're currently brewing with a few classic and simple coffee preparations like a latte and a cortado, but nothing too involved because they focus on the coffee itself. I really liked how they separated the coffees by flavor profile so you could key in on the type of beans and roast you prefer. They offered several natural, honey, and anerobic options, which made me happy. My friend isn't a coffee geek like I am, so it was fun to see which he gravitated to and enjoy that alongside my choice, which was totally opposite. The barista side of the shop is long and narrow, with the bar predominating, but there's a great sitting area right next door that I didn't even notice until we were leaving. I'd hoped to buy a bag of beans to take with me but none of the ones we tried were available. Good sign I suppose, but sad for me. Next time!

Combining fried chicken and fresh donuts under one roof is an indulgent, no-rules concept that's perfect if you're craving comfort food without overthinking it. Fair warning: this place is not for the calorie counters. The staff were generally pleasant and attentive. Even as a first timer, the cashier took the time to walk me through the menu and highlight my options, which made the experience more personal than your typical fast-casual spot. I went with the spicy fried chicken and it delivered. Crispy, juicy and full of flavor in that satisfying fast-food way. A bit milder in spice than I'd typically prefer but tasty enough that I'd order again. Pricing felt very fair to what you get. I took the chance to also try their donuts. I tried 3 options: chocolate covered, original and an apple crisp. Could only eat pieces of each as I was full but they were soft, sweet and enjoyable, though not as fresh as what you'd get from a dedicated Dunkin. Still solid for a hybrid setup. Overall a refreshing low key meal. It was nice to hit a casual spot that's not pretentious in its offerings and does exactly what it sets out to do: serve tasty fried chicken and donuts without the fuss. The spot for when those cravings hit!!

Our server suggested that, because it was happy hour, a pitcher would be cheaper and save us money. I specifically asked how many ounces the pitcher was and was told 32 oz, which sounded reasonable since we planned to get 15 oz beers. When the pitcher arrived, it was clearly 64 oz. The server apologized for the mistake, and I let it go, thinking we didn't have to drink it all. However, when the bill arrived, the price didn't match the quote. We were charged $25, not the $20 we were originally told when the 64-oz pitcher showed up, with the explanation that the regular price was $35 and that we had "saved" money. In the end, we were served twice the beer we wanted and paid twice what we intended, based on information that kept changing. Whether this was incompetence or intentional, it left me feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. The food and atmosphere really were great -- but the experience was overshadowed by feeling manipulated. Enjoy the food and beer, but pay close attention to what the wait staff tells you and what ends up on the bill.
