Cameron NormanOctober 9, 2011The Fricasse for brunch is amazing. Top it off with waffles and milk chocolate lavender and you're gold
Evgenia TrofimovaSeptember 5, 2016London Fog drink is very tasty, service is very friendly. The food is OK, the wait is long, the prices are high.
Byren InnesOctober 23, 2011Sunday Brunch. Fabulous and unique menu. A "12" on 10 point scale. Have the waffle dessert.
Rishi MaharajOctober 8, 2015Good food, but so what? Line stretches to hours even on weekdays. C'mon Vancouver, this place isn't life changing.
Lily LDecember 17, 2011The lavender latte and waffles are to die for! Best breakfast place in town, hands down!
Everything is delicious! The paella is the best, matched with the lavender latte :)
Josh MartinApril 26, 2019Long, long wait (even on a weekday.) I rolling solo and eating at the bar—save yourself an hour wait.- Irina GushchinaFebruary 24, 2013Order your food before 3pm or sweet waffles will be your only choice.
- Dave TurnerDecember 18, 2014Seating is ridiculous as usual. They still have difficulty seating groups with an odd number of people.

"We were advised it was a 45 minute wait but it ended up being 30 minutes. Definitely worth it. Tried the chorizo benedict, sugared bacon and pancakes. Everything was great."

"They offer a discount for the late afternoon(check website). This is perfect because the crowds start to reduce around 6pm and it's so much more pleasant to walk the bridge with a few people."
