    Chicken quesadilla Waffle coated Brunch wings Jammy egg and steak tacos
    Kate M.

    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!

    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!

    A fantastic spot for brunch with a beautiful view of the water! They offer plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, all thoughtfully prepared. The coffee is excellent, and the staff is very friendly, making it a welcoming place to enjoy a leisurely morning.

    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

    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.

    Seafood Eggs Benny with herb shrimps
    Chancellor K.

    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.

    Basil Crusted Salmon
    Ira M.

    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.

    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.

    Vegan scramble
    Matt B.

    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.

    Iced pumpkin pie latte with oat milk

    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.

    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.

    This is a sister restaurant to the Tasty BBQ & Beer Bar located in Richmond…read more I saw this restaurant while it was being constructed, as it is located right along the seawall, just before the Burrard Bridge. What a phenomenal location! In the summer, there's an outdoor seating area which is literally right by the water, and the view is gorgeous. And in cooler months, the restaurant interior is amazing, as they suspended a lot of vibrant, arresting neon signs from the ceiling, reminiscent of the downtown Tokyo alleyways and street scenes. Whoever did the interior design of this place, my hat's off to you! It's incredibly effective and eye-catching. Now for the food review....wow, it's super good. They specialize in skewers here, and you can get all sorts of shish kebab-like skewers, for a wide range of price points, too. But the dish that really blew my kid and I away was the grilled eggplant. I can't say enough good things about this dish. It was absolutely delicious, and we'd go back again for this dish alone. Our server was lovely and very patient in describing all the various skewers and plates. Oh, and I really liked the service-wear and pottery, too. Very authentic. When my kid and I dined here, the restaurant was fairly new and it didn't have its liquor license yet, but when I last passed here on my seawall walks, I noticed a sandwich board outside the door advertising its Happy Hour specials. So I assume they have their liquor license now. This a a great little restaurant with a great ambiance in a great area. What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

    Sloppy Management or low team morale? made a reservation on Xmas Eve 2024 and with no prior notice,…read moreTasty shut down for the night. Our family of four showed up at the door and were quite agitated by the AWOL... really messed up our Xmas Eve plan. I called and left voice messages and never got a call back from anyone explaining why we were not given any notice. And couple days ago their Wechat Official Account left a message saying the restaurant in Yaletown has now paused their operations. Pity to see the bar gone. But on Google and Apple, it still shows they are open. Let me know if I am fooled

    Tried more of their dinner items. The sliced beef in sour soup is super tasty. Wow. Not sure what…read morekind of crack they put in it. Nice peppery kick. Plenty of beef slices and enoki mushroom. I really have to recommend this dish. Also had a pile of their skewers. Taiwanese sausage, chicken gizzard, and 2 flavours of wings. Not the cheapest, but similar in pricing to the competition. Everything got gobbled up. Delicious. Honestly I wish more people knew about this place. I think the only thing stopping them is the rather "bad" (not too visible) location. The 5 star rating for dinner remains.

    Went for their lunch ayce buffet. It used to be 16.88 but now they upped it to 18.88…read more The first time I went there was crab and braised pork belly. The second time there were clams and lamb neck? The things that were the same: tomato egg, dumplings, steamed baos, chineze fried donut, and cold dishes like bean sprouts, smashed cucumbers, tea egg, tofu dessert. They also have hot soy milk for drinks. Their deep fried chinese donut has got to be the best I've ever had in my life. With the price of a pair of fried donut being over $6 these days, I get my fix here. Other things are standard, good but not outstanding. I really like having soy milk to drink instead of water. $18.88 is getting a little steep for a limited choice buffet with not too many meat choices. The crab/clam are a nice addition but if there are days without it, it wouldn't be worth. I would rate the food from this place higher than the similar chinese lunch box style place in richmond, K squared mansion.
