Great little cafe. Really friendly and attentive staff. I like that when i ordered a side of bacon and sour dough toast with my meal, the chef included an orange wedge vs a slice with a twist. Little thing make a huge difference. Our meals were amazing. Hand made pyrogies and my buddies breakfast was big and looked great.

Was looking for a brunch option before going to Lynn Canyon Loop. Saw the suggestions from Google with a high rating and proximity and decided to give this place a try. Parking space was limited, but still managed to get a spot. No wait times and asked for recommendations as we wanted something more meaty to our meal. Server was knowledgeable with the menu and we were able to select our items without disappointment. Very pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere.

Stopped in town for something to eat and found this little gem! The food was incredible! The bathroom is not wheelchair accessible nor is the patio but overall experience was great!

Yummy bunch! Great service. Love this little cafe. We arrived before 11 and only had to wait a few minutes for a table.

This is a long-standing North Vancouver restaurant, but we have never been able to go there because it’s so popular on the weekends. We went on a Wednesday and had the place to ourselves. We both had the eggs Benedict and it was excellent. So nice to get your food hot. My husband said it was excellent coffee and I had a London fog which was great. Would definitely go back here again. They also have their own parking lot, which is nice and a patio for summer months.
