Wifey ordered French toast. I also ordered perogies. Fairly standard breakfast fare. Nothing fancy. The waffles imo could be better.. they were kinda dry inside bit fluffy. Def crispy on outside but with the missing fluffiness inside it kinda detracted from the enjoyment of having waffles. Rest of the breakfast food was as said standard and decent. The one thing that did stand out was the home made perogies.. they were very delicious. Over all, decent place to get your breaky but i don't think I'd go out of my way again to visit.

I was told they don't offer to go cups and that I would need to either rent a reusable cup for $3 and bring it back later, or drink from a mug. Since I'm not a regular customer and was just passing by, neither option really worked for me. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving without even being able to try the coffee. I understand the sustainability idea, but it would be nice to have at least some practical option for customers who genuinely need takeaway.

Everything in the case looked delectable, but we decided upon a large peanut butter-caramel cookie that was still warm from the oven -- and was it ever good. It was made even better with a light sprinkle from the salt shaker. We also shared a Black Forest bar with frosting that tasted a bit refrigeratory; the chocolate sponge cake layers were dry but the cherry filling was tart-sweet and delicious. The patio provided a relaxing space to sit, sip and snack as we watched the denizens of this lovely neighborhood stroll by.

We went on a Friday morning and the cafe was nearly full so we got the last 2 seats at the bar. She got a sandwich and I got a London fog and cinnamon knot. Her sandwich was tasty but quite pricy. Same with my items - they're all definitely on the pricier side. The knot I had was good but I wish it had a stronger cardamom taste to it instead of just cinnamon. The space is gorgeous but is always pretty busy and the staff are super kind! I would come back and try some other items.

My…read morefriend and I decided to take a drive and I remembered Blvd Bistro was on my list of places to try for a while now. Traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived in good time. We parked on a side street not too far away and noticed how friendly people were as we walked to the restaurant. Everyone said hello and smiled as we passed through. You certainly don't get that same experience in many other areas of the Lower Mainland. Because it was spur of the moment, we didn't have a reservation. We put our name down with the host and waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. The restaurant was a little noisy but not overwhelmingly so. We both had coffee, which was really good. I should've asked what kind of coffee they serve because it's not very often the regular drip coffee is this good. I was having a hard time deciding between the Blvd Blackstone Benny with maple bacon and the Smokey Brisket Benny. I ended up choosing the latter with a side of avocado and my friend had the Huevos Rancheros - he added a side of fried potatoes when he saw how good they looked on my plate. I took one bite of the brisket and I was instantly so glad I chose it. The meat was so tender and flavourful and I didn't even need my knife to cut it. It was phenomenal. My eggs were overcooked but immediately replaced with new eggs when I mentioned it to the server. The replacements were soft with perfectly runny yolks. She also brought extra hollandaise sauce. My friend's meal looked amazing, in fact I now have to come back just so I can have this dish. I wasn't able to finish my meal so I boxed it up to finish later. I will definitely come back here to try more of the menu items, especially when the coffee is this good. Makes me wish I lived closer!

The food and drinks arrived to our table at a good amount of time although, it took a little bit for the server to come take our order or to re-fill our waters. Maybe it was because we were in the patio area but the server was very nice. The food itself was really good. I got the breakfast sandwich. The brioche bun was soft yet crispy and the flavours were nice. My friends got eggs benny. They said it was good although the egg was not runny, rather a soft jammy egg yolk. If you like a runny yolk, be sure to let the waiter know. On the table they have a hot sauce, and that was delicious. It was sweet and tangy and had a good amount of spice. Overall, it was good and I would come back again

The interior is pretty neat. They have seats made out of parts of cars, and even the front counter is half of an old school SL. Lots of classic car parts on the walls. Staff are friendly and chatty. No problems there. The coffee selection is pretty decent. They also have cold (sweet) drinks. I had the V12 latte. They put a neat little teddy bear in the foam. Would've been cooler if they put a MB logo instead, but all good. The only complaint is that the car themed couches and regular couches are at different heights. So my friend and I were looking up and down at each other. Wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the car themed ambience and maybe try a pastry.
