Reuben sandwich & Caesar salad
Paul M.

This was my first time dining at Dulin's, so I have only had one meal. The Reuben sandwich was one of the better Reubens I've ever had. The bread was toasted and buttery, and the corned beef was steaming hot and delicious. The Caesar salad was also very good. I did not leave hungry; the portion size was large. It was a very filling meal. The service was top-notch. It was a Saturday at 11 AM. It was not packed but decently crowded, and all of the servers seemed to be on their game. The ambiance reminds me of an old-school deli. It was very clean, and there was ample seating. My friend lives in Vancouver, so I will definitely be back to try more of the food offerings when I'm in the area visiting.

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile now, but it always looks so busy on the weekends, so we waited until we had a day off during the week. We arrived around 11:30 on a Wednesday. It was still pretty busy, and only two booths were open. We were first on the wait list. We only waited about 5 minutes for the host to clear the tables and set them. Staff was friendly and welcoming. You can tell it's a popular place by how busy it was on a weekday. This restaurant occupies an older building in downtown Vancouver. There is street parking available. It's a small establishment, but they do a great job of utilizing every inch. They even have a nice waiting area by the door with two long wooden benches. There are both table and chair seating, as well as a few booths. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We ordered the croissant club sandwich with fries and the triple play with half a reuben sandwich, Celtic Caesar salad and a cup of Irish stew. My hubby also asked for a side of bacon. The food came out rather quickly considering how busy they were. Everything we ordered we devoured. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I added avocado to my club sandwich and it was so yummy! Prices are more than reasonable compared to other establishments. You get a generous portion as well. Overall we were happy with the service, food and prices. We'll definitely return to try their breakfast options. Everything looked so appealing as it came out of the kitchen. Would highly recommend!

Fresh fruit to start the day
Terrance S.

Always good service and good food. The staff is excellent. Very attentive and inviting. I always feel welcome here. From the whole grain pancakes, to the chicken sausage, to oatmeal, to fresh fruit, Dulin's is a staple in downtown Vancouver. It's like visiting a cozy neighborhood eatery where all the patrons are regulars. You don't want to miss it.,

Brunch dreams do come true! We rolled up for brunch and were met with a 45-minute wait (it was Labor Day to be Fair)--but with all the glowing reviews, we figured it had to be worth it. Spoiler alert: IT TOTALLY WAS. To kill time, we wandered over to the vintage mall across the street (10/10 recommend for distraction shopping and questionable fashion decisions). By the time we were done laughing at '80s vinyls and questionable biker jackets, our table was ready. Perfect timing! Now let's talk food. Holy portions, Batman. We ordered the El Paso and the Dublin, plus a side stack of pancakes--because brunch isn't brunch without a pancake cameo, right? Safe to say, it was more than enough for two people (but we have no regrets, only delicious memories). Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and those pancakes were straight-up cloud magic. I could honestly come back just for a short stack and call it a day. The mimosas were bubbly joy in a glass, the service was decent, and overall, it was a solid brunch win. I'd 100% come back--and next time, I'm making a reservation like a pro

What a cute little find! I have been looking for a great place for huevos rancheros and found them here. Great staff. Great service!

The French omelet with bacon, mushrooms, and Brie cheese. My keto version without potatoes and added avocado and tomatoes. :-)

Great atmosphere and food... The French omelet with the mushrooms, bacon, and brie cheese was AMAZING!

Dulin's potato dish, a split portion. An ample amount to share.

Three different staff members warmly greeted us and offered help while our table was being prepared--a great first impression. The space is bright and inviting, with natural light, plants, and large photos of village countrysides that perfectly reflect the café's name and theme. The menu blends Irish and American classics. We shared the Dulin's potato dish--corned beef, sautéed onions and bell peppers, cheese, horseradish, egg, and avocado. The French toast was another standout. We are looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu!

Huevo rancheros
Autumn B.

Dulin's Café has become one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots , every visit is somehow better than the last. I order the Huevos Rancheros every single time, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, perfectly balanced, and honestly? It might be the best version I've ever had anywhere. Their iced chai latte is another must-have, smooth, perfectly spiced, and not overly sweet. And if you're going for a brunch vibe, their mimosa flight is so fun and delicious. My boyfriend tries something new every time, and he swears their omelettes are top-tier across the board. Beyond the food, the service is amazing. The waitresses and waiters are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about giving you a great experience. It's the kind of café where you feel welcomed the moment you sit down. If you're looking for a consistently excellent breakfast or brunch spot with great food, great drinks, and great people, Dulin's Café is it. Highly recommend!

This is the second time we've enjoyed a yummy breakfast while in Vancouver! The service is great, everyone is warm and smiling. I enjoyed the veggie Benedict with avocado, spinach and tomato with a side of crispy potatoes. I especially love the local Silagy brand hot sauces; I stopped by the local market to pick up a few bottles ! :-) Tip- this is a busy spot, if you have to wait be sure to visit the antique shop across the street, lots of interesting finds.

$5.95 fruit cup after getting it out of the cup that had everything wedged into it.
John W.

Usually five out of five stars when I've dined at Dulin's the previous three times. I ordered the fruit cup previously before so I'm aware of its size and presentation. I don't know if they tried to dress it up to justified the $5.95 price which is more than fair in my opinion, but the way the fruit was shoved into the bowl was ridiculous. Half the mangis fell out when I tilted the small bowl to look at it. Then when I went to pull on of the 1/16" of an inch apple slices out, two more fell on the table. I'm not a germ-a-phob, but I should be able to pull my food out of the bowl without it falling onto a (hopefully clean) table. The worst part and I should have gave them one star for this, I immediately went to the counter and pair the manager? that delivered and when he asked if something was wrong, he rang me up. Fortunately I grabbed the bowl and was able to get a to go box for my "cup" of fruit. Here's a thought, give me a discount.‍ Big miss on customer service/satisfaction. Guess I'll wait a while before visiting again.

Turkey Croissant Sandwich with Clam Chowder
Kelsie D.

Yummy food and very reasonable prices! Was seated quickly and staff was friendly. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was so good! Not greasy, just the right amount of sauce and the meat was cut nice and thin. Very yummy! Would definitely come back again and try other items.

Huevos Rancheros...art on a plate.
H.B. G.

Charming....charming is the word I would use to describe Dulin's Village Cafe in downtown Vancouver, like a warm hug on a rainy day. The first clue, that I had chosen wisely, was seeing people gather at the door, waiting for the restaurant to open. I ordered the short stack (2 pancakes) and a side of bacon which suited my sweet/salty cravings. The whole-grain pancakes were hot off the griddle, served with real butter, and syrup. They were tasty, but I am more of a buttermilk pancake gal. (if you want "real maple" syrup it costs extra....which, considering the jump in pricing at most restaurants, is a little annoying. But this is a minor quibble.) The two strips of thick bacon were perfectly grilled and had a nice, light, smokey flavor. Hub had the Huevos Rancheros...a layer of seasoned black beans, grilled tortilla, eggs (cooked any way you like), and topped with cheese and generous slices of avocado. It came with fresh salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and breakfast potatoes (which were delicious....and tasted freshly made, not frozen) We both had a rich cup of coffee served in a chunky mug. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The total for breakfast, for two, was about $33. It is getting harder to find non-chain restaurants that serve a traditional breakfast. So glad Dulin's is here. It is on my list whenever I am in downtown Vancouver.

Even going on a Monday night, it was packed with people, however, we were able to snag a table for two without a reservation right away. The service was attentive and helpful.

It was a busy lunch time, but we never felt neglected. Our server did a wonderful job. We choose a table outside in the sunshine, it was much quieter outside so that we could have a nice chat. The only negative is the interior is very loud. Other than that, it's a great place to have lunch or dinner at.

I love that you can get traditional pizza toppings or creative combinations. The flavor of the pizza is amazing and I have heard that the gluten free crust is considered better than the regular by some people. This location gets busy, so if you can swing an early dinner or a meal at a slightly off time, your wait to sit will be shorter. We came in a bit before 5 when the patio seating was open and got to sit right away. When they are busy, you might wait a bit for food, but the servers are friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the "something marvelous" (bbq chicken) and a pepperoni pizza (because kids) for our pizza. We also got the beets and burrata salad to start. This was more than enough food and we always take leftovers home. The weather was nice on the patio and you can see the waterfront and river from your seats. We've been here before. We will be back.

Feeds one person. Table service, so a tip is standard. I'd be happy enough spending $15 or so, but not eager to return at their price point.

Someone came out and grabbed us and told us about a seating area they had that was kind of hidden. It was perfect. So, we had a nice, cozy spot to eat. The place remained pretty busy and it seemed like patrons stayed a while. The food was great - we had the jalapeño bagel, biscuits and gravy, and an egg scramble. We were all very happy with our picks. For drinks we had a golden milk latte, pumpkin spice latte, and a strawberry lemonade. All of them were great. We loved everything about Brewed and we just really appreciate the service and yummy food and drinks.

We both agreed this is the last time we'll come here. We came in and were greeted and immediately seated by the host. He was friendly and welcoming. They weren't super busy, but busy enough for a Saturday lunch crowd. It took him awhile to get our drink order, so when he finally came to take it, we went ahead and ordered our food as well. We decided on the bacon cheeseburger with chips, and the reuben with fries ($3.50 extra for fries). I've never understood the extra cost for fries vs homemade potato chips?! The chips have been hit or miss in the past, so we usually order fries for one entree just in case. Our food took about 45 minutes. Seemed way too long. Our server never came back and asked for refills on beverages during our visit either, which was disappointing. My burger looked good, but super greasy, even the bun was greasy on top. Maybe it was brushed with butter?! The burger dripped with grease while eating it. The chips were saturated in grease as well. Some of them so much they weren't crispy at all. Our server was nowhere to be found or I would have complained. They were left on the plate. My husband didn't like them either. He ended up sharing his fries with me. My husband liked his reuben, but the bread was burnt on the bottom. You couldn't tell at first look, only once it was picked up to eat. It had plenty of meat, cheese, peppers and onions. He enjoyed it overall. The fries were good too. Much better than the chips. The restaurant was clean when we walked in, but during our visit many tables were left dirty for far too long. Not sure if they were in the middle of a shift change, but it seemed like no one was around to clear plates or refill beverages. Someone from the kitchen eventually came out to get us our bill. Our plates were still on the table when we left. Overall a disappointing experience. There are far too many restaurant options in this area to spend $65 on lunch for mediocre, at best, food and service. We will not be returning.
