I've been to Knight Street Cafe a few more times after my review and they are solid. Best items to get is the breakfast burrito. Half order is already huge and packed. Delicious and satisfying. The other is their Knight Street Burger. That patty was enormous with a good char and bun was soft. Even for take out it was great!
I've passed by Knight Street Cafe a million times but never stopped in for breakfast. They're a family run, all day breakfast spot around the corner from Pallet Coffee Roasters and Do Chay. We dropped in on a busy Saturday (around 11:45am). There was a continuous stream of people coming in. The inside has a mix of tables and high booth seating (26 seats total). Service was adequate. The menu consists of breakfast, omelettes, sandwiches, salad/soup and flame broiled burgers. - 3x Coffee ($3.00) - came by several times to refill our cups. However, their coffee is light. Better off getting a cup of joe at Pallet. - Knight burger ($13.95) - went with the soup of the day (chicken noodle). Good flavour and a nice mix of pasta, chicken, onion, corn and carrots. The burger (7oz) was massive. Beef had a nice char but was still tender. Only thing I'd change is to toast up the bun. - Corned beef hash ($17.95) - B opted for sunny side eggs and sourdough bread. Nice touch with a slice of watermelon. Corned beef was juicy and decent amount of vegetables. The hash browns were okay but could have been crispier. - 2x Knight St. special ($12.95) - sausage had a good bite; reminded me of a Hungarian style sausage. - Butter tarts - complimentary butter tarts. Homemade goodness. My favourite part of our visit. Decent portions at KSC. No frills, neighbourhood spot.
A little cheaper but a whole lot better than nearby White Spot. The first time we went here, I thought it was a consolation prize for not being able to get seating at White Spot. But, now, I'll go to White Spot if Knight Street Cafe is too crowded or closed. There is something special about the way they make their burgers. Patties are super juicy and thick. There's also a hint of Worcestershire sauce that gives it a tangy kick. I've tried several variants of their burgers, but my usual is the Knight Street burger. The patty is hanging off the edges, it's so big. The other reason to check this place out is the breakfast. Your usual suspects, but larger than usual servings make it a great deal. The pancakes and sausages are our favorites, although my wife loves the made-to-order omelets as well. A meal that costs $50 at White Spot will only be about $40 at White Spot. And, the owner offers us free butter tarts to take with us when we leave. Like a cherry on top. Cool.
I have been meaning to dine here they opened; but for one reason or another, today was my first visit. A full breakfast was in order so I opted for the 2.2.2.2. (2 eggs, 2 maple smoked bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pancakes $15.75) everything on the plate was fantastic and it was nice to see the old school, plate-sized pancakes -very fluffy! The room has a tradition diner vibe with a bank of high tops opposite the tradtional table seating. There is even window bar seating to watch the hustle and bustle of Knight Street go by. Food was fantastic and filling. The unlimited coffee was nice and rich. A Family run and local small business deserves our support. Very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you have a hankering for some traditional breakfasts and brunches. Vegetarian option are available!
A friend ordered me a burger and soup. It was surprisingly a very good burger and it was huge. The patty was super think and huge. It was charred but didn't taste burnt at all. Tasty burger. The soup was delicious too. Lots of flavour but it was in tiny cup. Could have used a bit more of it. I would recommend this joint.
It seems like all the sea salt ended up in our dishes today. What happened? Why was everything so salty? Afraid for a cardiac problem from getting high blood pressure I had to stop eating. We all did. Not sure about the others who are here but it was very salty. Even the toast seemed to have salted butter . Hmmmm can that be ? Impossible i thought. I did ask for no butter in the toast but it came buttered. I got the omelette with feta cheese so I did expect it to be salty and actually it was quite good. But the taters were salty as was the ham and sausages. I wonder why? The pics on Yelp looked so delicious! Our food looked wonderful but maybe it was just an off day for us. So I'll chalk it up to us. We just had an off day for tastebuds.
What a lovely place for breakfast. I can see why it is so popular on yelp! Why I liked it: - No queues when we arrived at 9:30ish - They have a good selection of yummy sounding breakfasts - What we were served was simple, but really tasty - The freshly squeezed juices are lovely (I had grapefruit) - It didn't take long for everything to be served I didn't try the hash browns, but now I have seen the other reviews, I may have to go back to try them!
I'm giving this place a 5. I was just looking for a place to have breakfast but woweewoowah I didn't expect to find this hidden gem. The way they prepare their french toast reminds me of the way my grandma does it, dipped in egg and sprinkled with cinnamon so that beyond that layer of egg, the bread stays absolutely soft. Definitely won some nostalgia points. The bacon strips are thick, not those dainty grease covered strips you get at some other cafés. Normally I don't mix the sweetness of maple syrup with the saltiness of breakfast meats but I was really enjoying how the cinnamon and syrup complement the bacon in this particular instance. Speaking of complementary, the honeydew and sliced peppers worked surprisingly well with the hash brown. The whole dish was just so well put together. Delicious.

Absolutely delicious. Pancakes were buttery and soft. Everything else cooked to perfection. Fresh squeezed apple juice was addictive. Service was phenomenal. I'd love to fly to Vancouver just to have a bite here again. read more
Food was delicious and served quickly. The restaurant is small but homey. The waitresses tries their best to get to everyone at a good pace, they let us call in advance to put our name down for a table. The pancakes were fluffy, the Cajun chicken was juicy, and the soup was very hearty and comforting. Will definitely go back to try more of their menu! read more
Cozy like little café serving great breakfast foods. Out front, it doesn't look like much, and you might drive by it without knowing it existed. Highly recommend you stop and give it a try! The menu had traditional breakfast items (Egg Benedict, Bagels, Omelet), and diner lunch dishes such as sandwiches, salads and soup. My friend had the "2.2.2.2" which offers 2 eggs, 2 maple cured bacon, 2 farmer sausage, 2 pancakes (which could not be finished so we asked for a take-out box). I had the Eggs Benedict with English Muffin and potatoes. The server asked if I would like my eggs soft or hard which was nice as some placed don't offer that. Coffee is refillable and the staff asked often if we could like our cups topped up - thanks!. I'll be back. Service was friendly and reasonably priced with big portions. Free side street parking read more

It was our first time to come here for brunch. Why did we not come here in the past?! Here is my review: Customer Service: Servers were friendly and very attentive to all customers and made sure they provided excellent customer service. Food and Presentation: We ordered 2.2.2.2 breakfast and the breakfast burrito. The 2.2.2.2 breakfast includes two eggs, two bacons, two sausages, two pancakes and some crispy potatoes. The portion was big and the presentation and quality were good!!! The pancakes were very fluffy that they were better than ones that I had at other brunch places. When I had the first bite of the burrito, the flour tortilla was soft that it was so different from others. Normally the tortilla was very thick and dry, but this one was about right! The eggs and other ingredients inside cooked well that the sausage or meat were not over cooked. When I had the first bite, everything melted in my mouth. It was sooo goood!! The fruit skewer tasted delicious as well! The blueberry was big and sweet! Watermelon was very sweet as well!! We also ordered a matcha latte. The restaurant put a lot of matcha powder to the latte, so the matcha latte had a strong matcha flavour that tasted excellent! It was better than the one at Starbucks or other coffee shops. Pricing: 2.2.2.2 breakfast cost $11.95 and the breakfast burrito cost $12.95. Pricing was reasonable with such a good quality of food and great customer service. Parking: Street parking or if you take a bus, there is a bus stop right in front of the restaurant. As you can see, do you think that I will come back for breakfast or brunch??? You can tell the answer for sure. :) read more

Best hash browns ever? Well, pretty darn close anyway. I generally like my hash browns made out of shredded potatoes but these were diced potatoes cooked to perfection! They were firm, not mushy on the inside. And the outside was nice and crispy. Nothing was greasy. Every part of my 2222 was cooked perfectly. Including coffees and tax, the total for two people came to $33. The place was very clean but the staff was more polite than friendly. Maybe they'll warm up after a few more visits - cuz I'm definitely coming back! And just a warning to those with nut allergies: The butter tarts have nuts (walnuts?) in them! There's no warning on the display container and I observed one being given to a young girl without a verbal warning. I suppose you should tell them if you have allergies but you don't always expect nuts in a butter tart. And yes, they were delicious! read more
Saw that this place was popular and had good ratings so we decided to come check it out. Great decision! I got the chicken club sandwich and it was big. Fries to go along with it. Chicken was so juicy and the combination of tomatoes and lettuce with the sauce was to die for. I really liked the crispy fries too! Customer service was on point and food came out in a timely manner. If we are back in Canada we will come back for sure! read more
Good food and portions in a cozy cafe and diner. Service was just all right. They got my order wrong by giving me a full order of the breakfast burritos when I only requested a half. But we just didn't say anything and took the other half home! Tip: these burritos are HUGE. I was already feeling so full from just the half order. read more
I don't even like omelettes that much yet I was compelled to order one here. Literally the best omelette I have ever had in my life. Packed full of fresh veggies and cheese, perfectly executed. Kids loved their food as well and my husband was floored by the giant "full order" breakfast burrito that was two big burritos full of eggs and sausage and whatever else. Very kid friendly and chill vibe in here. Service was top notch. Wish we had a diner this good at home but diners like this barely exist in the Bay Area anymore. Sad face. This place was one of my favorites stops during our stay in Vancouver. read more
I'm a huge fan of diners and when I was invited to join a friend at Knight Street Cafe, I was stoked! From what I heard from the owner speaking to another guest, they had just opened up in April of 2016, so they're a relatively new entrant to the area. I ordered the Knight St. Special (9.50). I ordered the Black Forest Ham with mine, and they were very thick cut, crispy on the edges, and very tasty! The potatoes were also light and crispy, with just a pinch of salt. The eggs were nice and gooey, like over easy ones should be, and the toast had a slight crunchiness to them. Coffee was spectacular too. read more

What a hidden gem! We came on a Sunday morning and it was empty which is so shocking! This place is fantastic and needs some more press or something. The portions are huge and the taste & quality wonderful. A great breakfast place to check out. read more
What a great little place! Came here on a Saturday for brunch at around 12 and was expecting to have to wait for seats like most brunch places but was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. After we came in a couple other parties came by and still the place had some room. The place is kind of easy to miss if your not looking as it's next to a florist and a SriLankan place that isn't open during the day. The hubby ordered the 2.2.2.2 (eggs, pancakes,bacon & sausage) and I the eggs Benny. Since it's my first time here I always like to order a staple so I can compare with other places. The Benny was great! Ham to egg ratio was good. Hollandaise was creamy and slightly tart! Not too overwhelming or heavy. Just the way I like it! It came with a side of hash and a slice of watermelon. The hashbrowns weren't my favorite to be honest. The 2.2.2.2 was large! Pancakes were really good. It was crispy on the outside with a little hint of smokey flavour and the inside was super fluffy! Great tasting pancakes (and I don't even like pancakes! I know I'm crazy). The sausages weren't my favorite but all in all a good meal. read more

A solid 4.5 star cafe! We had a very pleasant experience here. After finally finding free street parking a block away, we find the cafe located close to the busy corner of Knight and Kingsway. There were people standing outside, but they were waiting for the bus, lol. Small cafe (can seat at least a couple dozen customers), many tables were free so no wait time. We started with fresh orange juice and coffee. I had a good and filling pancake breakfast with a good serving of ham; nothing spectacular but I enjoyed it. My dining partners enjoyed the Knight burger, homemade patty with perfectly toasted bun and small side salad; and the fish and chips which came with a side of cole slaw. We had small appetites so the serving sizes were more than enough. Sweet, quiet server. We noticed they gave out free butter tarts after you pay. I went up to the counter to pay by credit card and got my bag of butter tarts, nice bonus. Very decent East side diner/cafe. Would come again for good food at decent prices. read more

I had high hopes for this place because of the high yelp reviews, but I have to say the quality just wasn't there with the price that it's charging. I ordered the eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce and hash browns and my bf got their blt sandwich with their soup of the day (chicken noodle). I had White Spot's eggs benny and I like it better than this place. It felt greasy and over cooked just a tad bit. Their hash browns tasted frozen but I could be wrong. It's a decent place if you're craving for something filling. The presentation of the food was nice and we got our seats right away on a busy sat afternoon. read more
