DECIDED on treating myself to a new sandwich that's been on my list to try, adventured out this way…read moreafter my dentist appointment and ooo it was such a fun experience watching my order being made. The staff here is so articulate and attentive, precise with the way things are assembled to how teamwork stays in alignment for something as simple as 2 diff customers ordering cannolis. I could really feel the good service and the staffs willingness to give a good first impression and make sure customers are happy. It was my first visit and first time trying something like this so the chat i had was much appreciated, the recommendations were great too. Everything tasted delicious and fresh, the sandwich was literally the size of my face. I tried the Bella Della Tella Panino and ooo the honey and pistachio combination was MOUTHWATERING. The shop is cute and tidy, they do close pretty early but that's ok i can work with that, parking was free just off at the corner. I'd definitely revisit.

Brunch place at the top of Burnaby Heights. Heard a lot about it but took a while to try as they…read morehave really short business hours (breakfast/lunch only). Parking is available on the side streets. The dining area is divided into 2 distinct sections. Looks like they took over the adjacent business space and knocked out a doorway. Staff are friendly and cheerful. No complaints. I wasn't sure what to try, so I had the kitchen sink. Might as well try a mix of everything. As per the menu, it was 2 eggs, sautéed red onions, red peppers, kale, green onions, sausage, bacon, cheese, hashbrowns. Reminded me of eating an omelette that fell apart. Decent quality, but honestly nothing really stuck out, especially for the price. This place isn't cheap. Maybe I'll try another dish at some point.

(4.5/5) I am glad to have been introduced to this…read moreneighbourhood gem as it will now be a go-to when I'm in the area. Gray Olive Cafeteria is a bright and simple brunch spot that serves a variety of classic, but well-executed brunch dishes and drinks. The popularity of the place showed as we waited almost an hour for a table today (granted it was a stat), with people continuing to flow in while we were dining. My boyfriend explained that they were originally a small diner, but later upgraded to more spacious seating. The waitress (who was also hostessing) was kind and apologetic for the wait. After we sat down and ordered, the food arrived very quickly. The chicken and waffles immediately caught our eye as it seemed almost one person at every table had ordered it. For $1.75, you can also opt to have your chicken made spicy, and it was very worth it! I also really liked the waffles, despite usually preferring chewier waffles. These waffles had a crispier bite, but were fragrant and delicious regardless. The crab cake benny was also a delicious umami bomb with great textures and flavours. Keep in mind, there probably isn't a lot of actual crab (mostly imitation from what I saw and tasted), but it still tasted good. One standout was the hashbrown potatoes. They were perfectly seasoned and so crispy! I also appreciated that everything wasn't too salty and perfectly seasoned for my asian taste buds. I will definitely return, but on the basis of coming for a reservation only!

Very small shop with limited seating. We tried the rigatoni (with meat sauce) and pappardelle (with…read moretruffle cream sauce.) The canned sparkling lemonade was also quite good. The portion size is decent and I left feeling full but not stuffed. The noodle texture also has a nice bite to it. For me I prefer creamy sauces so the pappardelle was my favorite!

Decent food and genuinely friendly staff -- that part's not in question. But here's the setup:…read morethere's no indoor seating, just a few tables on the sidewalk where you can practically direct traffic on Hastings from your chair ;) The rigatoni and gnocchi were both staff recommendations, and both were decent. With sides of meatballs, prawns, and bread, we landed at $80 with tip, no drinks included. Felt very pricey for the setting. Which brings me to the head-scratcher: the POS terminal's lowest default tip option was 20%. For a place that's a long way from a traditional sit-down experience, that felt very ambitious. What's going on with tipping in Vancouver these days?

Ambiance and Decor I visited this café and sandwich shop on…read morea Friday afternoon during the lunch rush. It's a small, homey place with simple décor. The lighting isn't the best, as the staff mostly rely on the large entrance window for natural light. Service Quality The staff was kind and friendly. They are more than happy to help you choose a sandwich if it's your first time. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Menu Variety Their sandwich selection is excellent, and the bread is particularly noteworthy. They also offer a couple of iced tea options, which is a nice alternative to water. Food Presentation If you're dining in, your sandwich will be served in a plastic basket lined with wax paper. For takeout, it's wrapped in the same wax paper. Food Taste and Quality I ordered the Spicy Italian, which had just the right amount of heat. It was generously loaded with greens, and the multigrain bread was fresh, likely baked that morning. Portion Sizes The portions are substantial. I was only able to finish half of my sandwich for lunch. Price and Value The sandwich cost about $15, which is on the pricier side. It would have been nice to see it priced around $12. Overall Experience and Recommendation If you're in the area or heading to Horseshoe Bay to catch a ferry, definitely stop by S'wich for a sandwich. I will definitely be returning to try other options on the menu.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy! But thankfully due to the staff's efficiency and…read morefast service, we didn't have to wait too long for our drink and banh mi order. We ordered the House Special Cold Cut ($9.25) and their seasonal special Matcha Fog ($7.95). The banh mi was delicious as always with a nice amount of filling and crunchy bread. I do think the bread was a bit on the crunchier/harder side this time though, but it was still tasty. The Matcha Fog was unique and the London fog paired well with the earthy matcha and neither flavours overpowered each other. It was a little on the sweeter side though, so would ask for half the syrup next time. Overall, would definitely return for their solid menu items!

Look, if you're looking for fine dining, this isn't the place. If you want a very filling sub with…read moreingredients that are prepared fresh in front of you, this is the place in this neighbourhood. This is not a $u6way sandwich, let's say that up front. It's so much more than that. First impressions might be that the $14 ish range for a 6" sub is a tad pricey. We upped the anti, chose a full footer and shared, it was maybe $24? The Morty 3.0 did not disappoint. It honestly for us could be four meals. It was so good, the chips, salsa, queso, made in house and a drink, as a $5 add is gold. The staff are engaging, friendly and want you to enjoy your experience while dining there. We love the spartan, straight forward unapologetic ambiance of the place. Vennie's on Venables is a 6 out of 5 in our humble sandwich opinion.
