Chris FontenotOctober 13, 2017The lavender latte is certainly good but, on a different note, they do not accept American Express.
Excellent place. Cole early to avoid the line which can end up a crazy wait
Jonas WilstrupJanuary 14, 2016Breakfast paella is absolutely fantastic. Great service and atmosphere as well.
KyleJuly 10, 2011Attention to detail is staggering. The salt and pepper was arranged on the platter. Waffles are a must. Best brunch I've had in Vancouver
Xime GokaFebruary 22, 2017Awesome waffles (caramel sauce!), great service. Other breaksfast options also tasty.
Vivian LauMay 11, 2012Great place for brunch! Love the waffles and the chocolate ganache (which you can get at Dirty Apron next door for $7.99).
Sheldon CoxfordFebruary 19, 2016Give your self a good amount of time. This is spot can be busy so expect a line up.
Flora LeungJanuary 8, 2011Great food, excellent service, cozy atmosphere, cute servers/baristas, what more could you ask for? The fricasse is amazing! The paella is good too.
The lavender lattes are amazing and they taste just as delicious with almond milk. They have that too!!!

The Network HubSeptember 25, 2011Hands down, favorite brunch spot ever. Can't beat belgian waffle with lavendar latte.... the food is well worth the long wait
Meg GSeptember 6, 2014The second bar is lovely. So is the oeufs...so is the espresso.....and the Cesar.
Michael SchadeJune 26, 2014the mocha with lavender white chocolate is incredible. sip it alongside your entire meal.
Mitchell McKennaFebruary 28, 2015It's all about the Belgian Waffles, you want want something else, but think of that as your sides.
Robert G.April 5, 2012Raspberry caramel sauce for the waffles was to die for. Paired with the lavender latte: perfect brunch.
- Maria ESeptember 30, 2017Absolutely delicious, but very expensive. After spending quite a bit, our whole family left hungry
Food is well worth the wait. Can't go wrong with any of the coffee choices either!
Ting KellyFebruary 4, 2012must try their lavender chocolate waffles! its their specialty. get there early as there is ALWAYS a line out the door.
Liza BacallanNovember 3, 2009The fricasse is awesome. The Le Sante plate is just beautiful. Get a waffle with lavender milk chocolate sauce to start, or for dessert. Wash down with 49th Parallel coffee.
Mike WalekeNovember 26, 2016The line starts forming before they open, so either get there early or plan on waiting.
Jenn JSeptember 30, 2021I didn’t enjoy the milk chocolate lavender mocha…definitely didn’t taste like chocolate and was pretty bitter. Would go back to try something else though because it seems like a nice spot!
Kumiko ISeptember 10, 2009Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to brunch in Vancouver. Be prepared for a crazy line-up, though -- wouldn't recommend going in a large group unless it's after 1pm.
- Cameron NormanOctober 9, 2011The Fricasse for brunch is amazing. Top it off with waffles and milk chocolate lavender and you're gold

"Eggs Barney - smoked salmon, mushrooms, and hollandaise. This location is more open and funkier than the Granville location, better if you want to bring your laptop and work during the (non rush) hour"
