Great spot - brunch all day! Loved the interior, very calm and comfortable seating. We had 3 diff staff help us and all so kind; quick to seat and gorgeous view of the water. Patio available too! This was perfect for our group breakfast - they have a dedicated gluten free menu and dedicated vegan menu, and also have meat options. Robust nonalc menu as well - super happy with everything we ordered & will certainly be back! Beautiful start to the day read more

Went to Hard Bean Brunch on a Sunday, we didn't have a reservation but got a spot right away for 3 people. It was just a 5mins wait. The restaurant is really big! They have patio as well as indoor seating. A good place for a large group. The two things that really stood out to us was there banana brulee French toast and their beef and egg tacos. The French toast was delicious, gooey and came with vanilla ice cream, best dessert. The beef and egg tacos were seasoned very well so enjoyed those. However, the rest of the food was very average - their chicken and waffles- the waffles were very soggy and the chicken wasn't seasoned too well. Their chicken pesto quesadilla were not bad but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we got their zero proof mimosa flight which was a little too fizzy and I couldn't really taste the difference between all the flavours. It was very sour. Their iced coffee was very watered down. The food came out pretty fast but they accidentally got us the beef & egg tacos which we had cancelled. We told our server and she said "oh they have already prepared it, we can take off the bill for you if you still want to have it" so we thought that was very nice of her. However, when the final bill came the tacos were added there so we told her about it. Her response was "ya it was added". I did not say much because we did end up finishing the tacos but the communication was poor. read more

Wazzam Vancouver! Yall been keeping secrets! I came to Vancouver with a group of friends and it was all of our first time in Canada- we didnt know what to expect. Upon arriving at Hard bean we were greeted and sat promptly. A party of 5. The restaurant was modern, clean, and pleasant. I tried the chilli chicken (4.7/5) and the quesadilla with pesto-unique and a (4/5) but only when you trynna be fancy lol. My friends also enjoyed their food and had multiple things, I cant remember because I was eating! If youre in Vancouver, pull up! And save me a seat! read more

Got the ceasar salad to go for lunch. What a joke...the portion and toppings were pathetic. Would not return as I felt genuinely ripped off.

Great location for anyone staying in the downtown core. Bonus points for the dog friendly patio too! The service we had was great, really friendly and attentive. We were a group of five and all ordered different brunch items. We got the special waffle wings to share as we were all intrigued. I like the creativity of this dish as they're definitely brunch wings with the sweetness of the sauce and I enjoyed them as a share dish. I could never eat the plate to myself as I'm a savoury girl and tend to like salt over sweetness. For my main dish I got the Dos Steak and Jammy egg tacos. The steak was very overcooked and overall they just needed seasoning or something to livin them up! The egg was cooked really nicely and was jammy. My sis got a chicken quesadilla which was okay, just needed more sauce on the inside. Everyone else got benny and they looked good! I didn't taste them though so can only go off my experience. I liked my virgin brunch Cesar too! Had good flavour just needed a touch more spice! read more

Very rude service. Waitress confiscated our coffees that we purchased elsewhere while waiting for our table. She then said "let's make sure we're purchasing drinks at this table" as if we owed her for the inconvenience of taking our drinks. Food was ok. Standard brunch fare, but I would recommend taking your business somewhere else. read more

This spot is very busy on a Sunday morning due to being close to the cruise terminal but we got seated outside right away and had a lovely server. They have a gluten-wise menu so there was a lot to choose from. The server asked about my level of GF sensitivity and my concern over cross-contamination. I am GF intolerant but not celiac. I had their classic French toast, a side of bacon - which was amazing! And two eggs over easy. All the food was very good. The coffee was okay. Wish it had been tastier. My husband had the chicken and waffles that had a spicy hollandaise and sautéed kale. He liked it quite well. I would definitely go back! read more

It was super busy but they were really quick to seat multiple tables. Our server was friendly and quick to take our order and refill drinks. I tried the chili chicken + wontons with rice. Also The Basic brunch. They have a nice patio and a spacious inside space. The chili chicken was tasty , wontons were crisp and just the right amount of sauce read more

I think the menu is extensive and the food tasted great. We were served quickly despite the wait for a table. This is a very popular breakfast place so the ambiance is busy but not too noisy. If you don't have a reservation you will have to wait for a table. I do think the food is definitely worth the wait. I would return again and try their breakfast items. read more

I stopped into The Hard Bean Brunch Co. on my trip to Vancouver, and this place surprised me in the best way. I ordered the seafood Benny with herb shrimp on sourdough. The dish hit every mark. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The yolk spilled the moment my fork touched it. The sauce had a smooth, rich finish without feeling heavy. The shrimp carried real flavour, not just seasoning on the surface. The herbs came through with every bite, and the texture stayed tender. The sourdough held the heat and the sauce without going soggy, which says a lot about the quality of the bread and how well the dish is put together. The plate looked good, but the taste was even better. You could tell the kitchen pays attention to detail. Nothing felt rushed. Shereese made the visit even better. She paid attention, checked in at the right times, and carried a calm, warm energy. You never felt like a table number. She made the first visit feel familiar, which isn't easy in a busy brunch spot. If you're in Vancouver and want a brunch that's worth your time, add this place to your list. I'll be back. read more

It was my first time here. Ambiance was good. Food was delicious. I ordered basil crusted salmon . Next time, I'll try steak. Our hostess was amazing. My only complaint was it took a while for our orders to come. It took at least minimum 45 minutes. read more

Went for an early brunch and it was crowded probably from the cruises nearby but they take walk ins. We did not have a reservation but got seated immediately. I ordered the Yorkshire benny. I did not know what a Yorkshire pudding was and in checking Google, it's a baked pudding made from a batter of eggs, flour, and milk or water, menu says it's made in house. I usually order a benny since I do not make poached eggs or hollandaise, and wanted to try smashbrowns w/ avocado on the side. Was ok, as perhaps I thought smashbrowns were smashed hashed browns but they were rather smashed potatoes. Our table was disappointed w/ the smashbrowns. read more

Was able to make a reservation which was great as it was busy on a Saturday morning They do have an outside (not heated) patio that's dog friendly The food was average. We ordered an omelette and an avocado Benny. The Benny was good but there's better out there The service was quite slow since it was so busy. The price point of the food was much lower than other places in downtown. read more

Beautifully located right at Coal Harbour, with an outside patio overlooking the water. Hard to beat the location and views. Food-wise, they cater to many diets, including a sizeable vegan section of the menu, which is what I got us in the door. My wife & I split the Farm Field Omelette ($25.95) and the Vegan Scramble ($23.95) and a couple of coffees (my wife was charged $0.80 for oat milk). The food came out in about 10 minutes. The portions were moderate, or even rather small given the excessive price tags. Both dishes were underseasoned and lacked much flavour depth, but were otherwise reasonably tasty and satisfying. The omelette was supposed to come with kale but didn't. We really appreciate the vegan options but felt both dishes could use a fair bit of reimagining. As soon as we were done, the server came by to drop off our bill and take payment without prompting -- certainly aided in the factory-like corporate feel to the place. Can't imagine we'll return unless they overhaul the vegan items and improve the value. There are many superior vegan-friendly brunch places in Vancouver for this one to be recommedable. read more

We visited for a late lunch on Sunday and then an early breakfast just after they opened on Monday. Party of 3 then we were a party of 8. We had the most amazing servers. They were so kind, attentive, and enthusiastic. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food is delicious to boot! I highly recommend the Yorkshire Benny with ham. I asked the server which choice of avocado, ham, or bacon she recommended and without hesitation she said the ham - that they make and smoke it in house. It was at the bottom of the list for me but I trusted her and I'm so glad I did. It was amazing! And the smashed potatoes are great too. read more

This place is adorable. We were looking for brunch before our seaplane tour and this was right between the hotel and meeting place. Everyone was so welcoming and I loved the decor. They had an expansive menu but I went with their highlighted Benedict. My fiance got drip coffee and I got a very customized flavored iced latte. Both were delicious! I love that they have a late night menu as well, but sadly we didn't have time to try it. read more

met up with a girlfriend for brunch at hard bean in coal harbour on a sunday at noon, and i'm glad we had a reservation, the place was bustling. the interior has this warm, modern feel with lots of natural light streaming in through big windows. wooden accents and cozy, rattan style light fixtures give it a laid back vibe, and the seating is a mix of comfy teal and gray booths and high top tables, making the space feel open and inviting. this place serves brunch all day. our server, jade, was friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed. she brought our lattes out but forgot my hot water. later, i asked for cold water and she then remembered about the hot water. i went for the yorkshire avo benny, which looked great but didn't quite hit the mark. the egg yolks were bright orange and poached well, but the dish could've used more hollandaise, and the potatoes weren't crispy and bland. it lacked salt, garlic, and truffle. some fresh fruit slices on the side would have added colour and would have been a nice touch. at least the latte with oat milk was lovely, creamy and smooth, just how i like it. overall, hard bean is a beautiful venue, with waterfront views, perfect for a relaxed catch up with friends over brunch. it was a bit too warm inside, making it uncomfortable, but the ambiance and good coffee made up for it. not a flawless experience, we had to ask a few times for water refills, and it took 20 minutes after asking for our bill. read more

Great atmosphere. Had the seafood Benny that was amazing. Server was also very nice.

Attractive, easily accessible location near Vancouver's cruise ship terminal. Pleasant decor--open, warm, and modern. Large windows. Very pleasant server who was very attentive. Every question answered and request met with a smile. Breakfast fare was excellent. The Waffle Chicken wings were a tremendous hit. The Yorktown Benny was great as well. Cannot go wrong with the Basic either. Great breakfast place--give it a try. read more

fresh into the city off from the Hulu ferry. We needed a breakfast spot. Thank you. This hit the spot we attended a Saturday morning breakfast with amazing service awesome selection, great food, value, and bonus They serve drinks early a.m. knowing that this was dependable, we decided not to subject ourselves to disappointment somewhere else we returned the next morning for brunch.. glory holes. This place is solid again good service, great food good value and awesome ambiance in Vancouver. We will return if this has been started as a go to in the city read more

The location and service at Hard Bean were both excellent. However, the food was disappointing, considering the positive reviews we saw before booking. The food looked and tasted good, but was barely warm. They offered to remake the plates, but the replacement was only slightly warmer. Also, the proseco in the mimosas was very poor quality, with no flavour or fizz. It was like drinking plain orange juice. We felt sorry that the staff had to deal with our complaints about the food. read more
