    Fluffy pancakes
    Brian L.

    Food was great, Ive been searching for these kinds of ma & pa cafes, old school cafe dinner foods. Service was quick, the son runs the front floor, fast with the coffee & water. The interior ambiance is old but clean, nothing fancy but 60', 70's feel.

    Retro vibes, this is a good diner for grabbing an inexpensive breakfast. Staff was friendly and topped up our coffee, although I found the coffee too watery. I had the eggs benny, it was only $10 without meat. The eggs were poached soft just the way I like it and there was a lot of hollandaise sauce so I could dip my hashbrowns in it.

    Great place for a breakfast. Loved their pancakes. This is a small restaurant which reminds me the 80's and their customer service is amazing.

    Chicken cutlets yummmmm

    Great old school diner. Affordable, delicious food, mushroom stools at the bar, arborite table tops in the booths. Everything is perfect. Breakfast, burgers, BLT's, everything you would expect in a diner menu. Try my favourite; chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes, gravy and frozen mixed vegetables. You'd swear your grandma made it.

    Great service, classic diner menu with lots of variety. Great neighborhood feel. Good coffee too.

    Menu and hours

    Solid, laid-back diner with a menu that ticks all the boxes. Daytime hours places are always fun for a night owl like me, but I wore my King of Takeout crown and got breakfast one day. French toast and a vegetarian omelette. The French toast was well-made, but came with cheapo condiments. Veggie cheddar omelette was meh, not a ton of flavour or cheese. Potatoes it came with were not as crispy-fried as I wanted them to be. But I got a thermos full of filter coffee which was perfect. Very friendly staff and a nice family vibe, and super duper cheap, so I won't complain too much.

    It's a truck stop cafe. Very easy to miss when you're driving on Clark Dr either north or south bound. Western and Chinese cuisine available. It's a three star, but a very enthusiastic three star. It's family run and if I were to take a wild, wild guess, they live in the upper part of the building too. The day I came here, son(?) runs the front part of the business. He seats you, brings menus, brings food and clears tables. The rest of the family cooks in the back. Overall the prices are very cheap for what you're getting. See pics. Entire meal under $25 tip in. They know who the regulars are. The son(?) asked whether I lived in the area or not when I went to pay. He's a very, very pleasant guy. Very mature for his age and soft spoken. Recommended for cheap eats. Don't come here expecting anything fancy. It is what it is. Parking on side streets. VISA/MC accepted.

    The Truck Stop Cafe

    Tucked not-so-quietly off the side of Clark Drive in East Vancouver, the Truck Stop Café is a great option for a fast and cheap meal. What the café lacks in feng shui it definitely makes up for in menu selection and no nonsense service. The menu items spanned the globe - with options ranging from roast beef to chinese noodles to lasagna! The breakfast selections were impressively diverse - and the portions ample. Prices were reasonable. You're definitely getting trucker diner fare, with prices to match. Coming in under $5 - including tax and tip - is an easy feat. The bathroom at the TSC left something to be desired - mainly sanitization. We're assuming that most truckers are accustomed to highway side portapotties. This bathroom was definitely on par. That said, the rest of the restaurant was neat and clean. And there were bursts of decorative flare here and there- including a stuffed big bird doll in the back corner, illuminated trucker themed art, and a dusty old milk shake machine. The neon green menus added a splash of color to the room. Our service was attentive and our coffees were refilled promptly. Truckers must like to keep to a tight schedule, and most customers seemed to enter, eat, and leave in record speed. There's no energy wasted here. Forget garnishes, extra smiles, or a good hot sauce selection. The Truck Stop Café keeps to the bare minimum on all counts - but when you're in the mood for food, fast and simple - this place has got you covered. Sadly, if you are looking to rub shoulders with real live truckers, you're better off heading to the Husky! Highlight: Diverse menu selection. Lowlight: It was too hot and humid!

Before I start grab a complimentary port or scotch or sherry. Then let's take a tour. Ok. It will be short tour. They just have a few rooms.

This is also where you hang your key when you leave the house so they know who is here. We got the Under the Apple Tree Room which was spacious and nicely decorated. It even had its own private yard. Also has gas fireplace, jacuzzi style tub and stand up shower. The heated bathroom floor was a nice touch. If you get tired of your room you can also enjoy sitting outside on a deck or the living room. We really enjoyed relaxing on the couch back in our room in front of the fire place. Morning came a bit too soon. Was hard to get up out of the super comfortable down blankets on the King bed. The breakfast was ready though and included three delicious courses. Polenta with almonds, banana kirsch, and smoked salmon with poached egg on toasted croissant. Yum.

I chose to sit outside on the patio instead of inside at the bar to take in that Canadian Vitamin D! It was sunny and hot, but the patio had a great view and was perfect for people-watching. My server, Dursh (or something close to that), was really cool. He asked my name, made me feel welcomed, and gave solid recommendations. He even picked my drink for me, which I ended up enjoying. He suggested a Benedict dish, but I'm not a fan of runny eggs. I had already decided on the El Camino poutine and plot twist....it also came with two runny poached eggs. Even so, it was still delicious, mainly because the yolk texture wasn't an issue with the crema on the dish. That poutine was an easy 9/10. It came loaded with cheese curds, pork carnitas that weren't dry at all, bacon, pinto beans, roasted pineapple for a little sweetness, salsa, jalapeños, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro crema, and spinach. The herb potatoes were seasoned so well too. All in all, a great last meal in Vancouver from the food to the service (even beyond Dursh, everyone was helpful) to the patio vibe. Great spot.

The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the food? So much of it. We actually had to take some home, which almost never happens with high tea. The pastries and sandwiches were not only beautifully presented, but also creative and well-executed--nothing felt like filler. You can tell there was real thought put into the menu. The space itself is elegant and charming, making it perfect for a pre-spring outing, a catch-up with friends, or a low-key celebration. Would I come back? Absolutely--especially for a themed menu like this.

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.

Pistachio flavour was ok) Overall, I would come back just for their BRUSSELS waffle and during brunch time as they have the Benedict option!

We were having gorgeous weather in Vancouver so we decided to eat on the covered patio. The place is pretty cozy, but was only moderately busy when we went. They have a pretty good menu with lots a Benedict's and a build your own breakfast option that seemed pretty nice. I took the recommendation from our server and got the bacon benny. It did not disappoint. I think I have recently discovered that I love poached eggs and these were perfect. The yolk was nice and runny and the white was firm but not hard. I like to cut in to my egg and have it run down and get messy on the plate. The hollandaise was excellent. So many breakfast places will serve it broken, but not here. It had the perfect amount of lemon, butter ratio for my taste and I really enjoyed it. The bacon was good, not to salty, and the english muffin was, well, an English muffin from a package that they toasted and out on the plate. I did splurge and paid the extra dollar for the truffle potatoes and they were very good. I love truffle oil on potatoes so I am a sucker for it whenever its on a menu. You just cant mess it up. Fried potatoes, truffle oil, and a lemon squeeze to bring it all together. My wife got the brunch burger and she loved it. It was a messy breakfast burger that a lot of places have but this one was done right. A poached oozy egg, on a burger patty with american cheese, the best burger cheese in my opinion, bacon, hollandaise and arugula on a brioche bun! It came with tater tots and they were nice and crispy just like she likes them. Well, why didn't I give it five stars you may be asking? Great question. Here it is, each plate came with a side that was just awful. Mine had some "fresh" fruit that nearly made me laugh. It consisted of the saddest, limpest piece of watermelon I have ever seen this side of a trash can. I also had an old crusty orange wedge and a single grape. My wife got a slimy side salad that I think was holding on for dear life. Both, we deemed inedible and moved on immediately. I think there is a rule, or at least there should be one, in restaurants that if you wouldn't eat it then don't serve it. There might be another one that says if you eat rotten food maybe get a different job and see rule one. Overall, we liked the place and would go back. We would just avoid the salads and fresh fruit and stick to the food they cook.

But first, the food - I ordered scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage and paid an extra $1 for truffled lemon potatoes. The verdict? 4 out of 5. I'd ordered the eggs "very soft" and they verged on medium-firm. They still tasted good. I'll gladly pay extra for the truffled potatoes next time. My husband ordered the salmon avocado benny. While he loved the tomato soup he chose on the side, he was less enamoured by the benny itself. I had a taste and was underwhelmed by a forkful of overripe avocado and slightly fishy-tasting salmon. We finished with an order of beignets which despite being freshly-fried, were bland; although the accompanying strawberry sauce was deliciously tangy-sweet. Onto the service. This place spins like a top, and I mean that in a good way. Although we came at a peak time, all front of the house staff we encountered -- from the hostess to our bubbly server, to the smooth manager -- struck a perfect balance of being in flow, working flawlessly together, and maintaining light conversation with us. Exemplary. 5 stars out of 5.
