    We were greeted immediately upon our arrival, with the gentlemen being very helpful in our selections. The coffee was very good. As I the prefer more savory side, I had the Couve Club waffle which has a slice of havarti cheese, very thinly sliced turkey, thin slightly crispy bacon and a dollop of raspberry preserves atop. Wow. Just WOW! Every bite of this was absolutely delightful. The only slight preparation modification I would have liked would be to have the cheese a bit more melted. My companion had the JG2, which comes with a generous amount of fresh blueberries, heavy drizzle of lemon curd and real whipped cream. I was told this was very good. The dining area isn't huge and it got a wee bit loud as more parties came in, but they were playing great music that wasn't too loud and they helped a bit. There was significant road work being done outside, with the road completely closed off, but we parked around the corner and walked over and I'm so glad we weren't scared off by the street issues; it was worth a little effort to have this really delicious breakfast.

    Visited here for the first time on a sunny Saturday morning around 9am. I would definitely recommend getting here early since the restaurant filled up quickly after we ordered. Lots of families with little kiddos and couples and friends catching up over some yummy fluffy waffles. It was a little smokey in there when we were there and they actually don't have a bathroom in the building they are in but the friendly staff took the time to walk me next door and gave me the ladle key to access the bathroom in the adjacent building. You order at the counter and when I ordered the small hot chocolate I was asked if this was for a child and if so they are able to make it less hot and put it in a cup with lid. What a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated by this toddler mom! My friend and I and my toddler ordered the Audrey (goat cheese, honey, walnut), the Mojo Jojo (Nutella, banana, whipped cream), and I got the original waffle with whipped cream as well. The Belgian Liege waffles were crispy and fluffy but just dense enough to fill you up! I loved the suggested combos but you can also build your own too! (Although I did think $3 for a few pieces of strawberry were a little steep as a topping) but I think their suggested combos are the way to go. I even brought the original waffle home and it was just ask good toasted the next morning with my own toppings. This was a nice treat on a weekend morning. Go enjoy some sweet or savory waffles!

    Syrup Trap is a cozy and cute breakfast spot. We went at 9:30am on a Sunday morning, so seating was a bit limited, but the service was fast. I got the JG2 waffle and loved the lemon curd and fresh blueberries as my topping, however I wasn't too impressed with the waffle itself. It was decent, but it was much more dense than other liege waffles I've tried. My boyfriend got the Elvis waffle and enjoyed it, while also agreeing the waffle texture wasn't his favorite.

    I'm giving this place five stars for service! They employees are so welcoming and helpful. I had a nice conversation with the person at the register and there is a great vibe in the restaurant. I wish the seating was laid out differently to make it feel less cramped into the small space. Nonetheless though they've got the theme down perfectly! The waffles were super crispy, I notice normally the waffles from other spots I've had are more fluffy. Definitely come down and try these waffles, just keep that in mind if you like a more fluffy waffle!

    Delicious and authentic liege waffles with the perfect balance of sweet and crispy outside and soft on the inside. We tried the second breakfast, the Van Clucky, and the Mojo Jojo. We ordered two lattes as well which complemented the waffles. The interior is cute and very clean. Service was quick and friendly. We will visit again.

    We needed to stop somewhere for a quick bite and decided on Syrup Trap this morning. This was actually my second time here, but a first for my husband. He loves anything sweet for breakfast so I figured he would like some of the menu items here. When we got there, it was about 1pm or so. There were 3 different tables of other customers when we arrived. Not that busy. We ordered a sandwich and a plate of waffles with Nutella. My husband loved the mojo jojo and devoured all of it. My sandwich was just okay. The waffle was really dry and overcooked in my opinion. It was not that soft when I was biting in to the sandwich. Establishment was cute and small. It's a buss your own table type of place located in downtown Vancouver so it's all street parking.

    Stopped in about 10 minutes after opening on a Sunday morning. Only two tables were occupied, so it was a perfect time to visit without a line. The inside is small with only a few tables and bar seating in the window. There were a few bistro tables outside the entrance as well. You order at the counter, they bring you your food, then buss your table when finished. They also have a complimentary water and creamer station for convenience. After reviewing the menu, we decided on the Swanson Sammy ($11.75) and The Original with strawberries, bananas, and nutella ($11.75). My husband also ordered a 12 oz drip coffee ($3.25) with free refills. The guy at the counter let us know it would be a few minutes for the waffles because the irons were still heating up. We didn't think a 'few minutes' was too long, so we agreed; however, a few minutes actually meant 20 minutes. The wait was much longer than we anticipated, but the waffles were well worth the wait! They were nice and crispy on the outside and sweeter than normal waffles. We didn't need or order any syrup. My husband thought next time he may order the syrup with the sandwich because it was a little dry. Mine was perfect! I may opt for whipped cream with the berries next time. I would definitely order the same thing. Overall, we enjoyed our first visit and look forward to trying other menu options. Would recommend!

    Try the Swason Sammy...egg, ummy bacon, sausage, havarti cheese in a waffle. I put Organic syrup on mine delicious!

    Food service ambiance all plus! Coffee is done right! I'll be back for more... I had this pop-up while I was leaving the comment here, in order to leave a comment on yelp you need to have at least 85 characters to leave a review.

    Got the Leslie Knope to go, oh em gee, this is the best waffle I've ever had. Service was quick, they were so kind and the restaurant itself was clean, and pretty chill!

    The Elvis Waffle - gluten-free version
    Rose D.

    Update from my original review - I'm not sure when they changed this, but they now have syrup dispensers on all the tables, so you can have syrup on your waffle at no additional cost. Yay! Everything else from my previous review still stands, and I'm so glad they gave a gluten-free waffle option. I only wish they had a bigger location with more seating. Many times when we've wanted to come here they are packed with no open seats, so we end up going elsewhere. I'm glad they are doing so well!

    Incredible food, friendly, quick service. Already have another date planned to come back!! So amazing!!!

    The Elvis
    Angelica A.

    Okaaayy Trap Queen! Serving up some strong' & loyal' .... waffles! You can smell the handmade waffles from outside! Small inside dining - plan accordingly! Came around 11:15 on a Saturday and it was perfect! The Nitro Cold Brew was smooooth - had to add some sugar. Wish there was flavor addition options. We split the Elvis & the Waffle Sandwich. The Elvis needed a 'WOW' factor in my opinion - with the bacon being so subtle. Still felt like a healthier version of the Waffle Window. The Waffle Sandwich was deliciousssss. If you want to go on an adventure - ask to use the bathroom haha. This has serious potential - have to come back for more to uncover!

They have oat milk for those who are dairy free and their vegan chorizo was very delicious!

We loved Amaro's Table, another restaurant in the company, but Cecilia had a few glitches. First of all...we loved Hanah. She was very friendly and engaging. We don't know if it was her or the kitchen, but our food took too long. When it arrived it was beautiful. Two people had the Benedict and I had the Dutch Baby with a side of sausage. Both were excellent. But, I still don't understand why the accompanying maple syrup is served cold, and not heated?? Regarding the benedicts, the eggs were borderline hard. One person felt the hollandaise was too salty. The coffee delivery was very slow to one of the patrons. The restrooms and the general appearance of the restaurant was also perfect. We were surprised by a complimentary plate of donuts since it was our first visit to Cecilia. These were hot and very fresh. I noticed the tables around us remained dirty and were not bussed. Even if you don't plan to use the tables again, they should be cleaned and set-up quickly. It was just ok, and not a restaurant I will rush back to.

That part of the experience left little to be desired. The staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. Our water glasses were refilled promptly, and considering how busy they were, our food came out timely. We ordered the club sandwich with fries and a bacon Swiss burger with chili. The food was good, but nothing outstanding. They offer generous portions at affordable prices. Overall we enjoyed our meal, but given the loud and crowded environment, we're not sure it's a place we'll frequent in the future.

This restaurant occupies an older building in downtown Vancouver. There is street parking available. It's a small establishment, but they do a great job of utilizing every inch. They even have a nice waiting area by the door with two long wooden benches. There are both table and chair seating, as well as a few booths. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We ordered the croissant club sandwich with fries and the triple play with half a reuben sandwich, Celtic Caesar salad and a cup of Irish stew. My hubby also asked for a side of bacon.

Prices are more than reasonable compared to other establishments. You get a generous portion as well. Overall we were happy with the service, food and prices. We'll definitely return to try their breakfast options. Everything looked so appealing as it came out of the kitchen. Would highly recommend!
