Small restaurant but popular with locals. I ate delicious Lentil Soup which was accompanied by sour dough for dipping. The service was very quick, but we go there just before the rush. We ate outside and the weather was perfect. I would return here regularly if I lived nearby. read more

Little cafe that has a really loyal customer following. I've been going here periodically for years because the food is really fresh and really affordable. It's generally all made by one woman who truly cares about making the food, so the sandwiches are well put together and thoughtful. For $10ish dollars, it's a solid goto for a lunch bite. read more

A simple little lunch place that makes delicious sandwiches with fresh ingredients. There is only one table I think so it's better to get it to go. I like that they have different bread options so you can choose if you want multigrain, baguette or sourdough. read more

I just got their veggie sandwich. There's walnuts in it which was a nice addition. They put it on a panini press which I appreciate. Delicious. I will return. read more

Sweet, cozy cafe with delicious coffee, fresh juices and yummy sandwiches, pastas, salads and soup. Great for a quick snack or a relaxing break after exploring beautiful downtown Vancouver. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped here on our way out to hike and it was a great choice! Super friendly and the sandwiches were so delicious! They even went the extra step and wrapped our sandwiches up so they would be easy to take on our hike. read more

We ordered the chicken sandwich and tortellini. Both were delicious. Very small inside but that's okay because I'd eat this food standing up. Hoping to return before we go home. read more

Breakfast wrap is very tasty! BUT the staff (old man, probably the owner?) was kind of racial person. I am Asian, so he just weren't friendly. While I was eating, some customers who were not Asian came to the cafe, and the man looked so friendly. I just feel like it's a different person. In addition to the coffee is not full, even though if you need the room, it's too much space. ( I didn't drink the coffee in this picture at all) read more

This is a cute little cafe tucked away on Melville Street (hence the name of the cafe lol). I stopped by this cafe on the way home and decided it was a good idea since I had been up early and I considered it to be lunch hour (mind you it was actually 10am). This cafe was open early and had all the bells and whistles of a mom and pop joint. This included freshly squeezed juices, breakfast, sandwiches, pasta, snacks, and desserts! This is a cafe that truly makes you feel welcomed. They even call you sweetie and honey if that's your style. I ordered the veggie sandwich and added chicken. A not so veggie sandwich but I couldn't resist. There is room to dine in but it looks like a more on the go spot. I would recommend this cafe for all the business workers who like a healthy lunch Togo. Only downside was they charged me 3 dollars to add chicken when a sandwich with chicken was 8 dollars. In total my sandwich totaled 12 dollars, definitely on the pricier end. read more

I love the customer service here, the couple that own the place are so sweet. I only come here for the soup but it's packed at lunchtime so I assume everything else here is good too. Small soup with bread comes to $4 with tax! The chicken noodle soup is the best and it has a strong lemon flavour which is ok with me. Plus I love how they use skinny noodles! read more

A good, basic pasta place. I thoroughly enjoyed my spaghetti and meat sauce. And the garlic bread was pan- toasted, giving it a perfect caramelized crunch. Don't come for the decor. It's bare bones. But most of us don't care as long as it's clean. My only gripe is that I was still hungry afterwards. It's a mostly carb dish, with not much protein. But for $9, I was happy to get a delicious bowl of perfectly al dente noodles. read more

One of the best sandwiches that I've had in a LONG time! Ordered an Egg Sandwich (6.00) and oh gosh..it was definitely filling. The multigrain bread was warm and crispy and it was packed full of ingredients, from lettuce, to tomatoes, a ton of hard boiled egg, and even a pickle! When all was said and done, was definitely ready for a food coma... But wait, I foolishly decided to try their soup too thinking the sandwich may be small! I got the small Lentil Soup (2.00?), which while usually 3.50, was only about 2.00. I guess if you get a soup and sandwich, it's cheaper than if you got the soup by itself. It had a lot of lentils in it and tasted a lot like cumin. The sour cream blended nicely with the bits of hot sauce on top. Would definitely come again for their lamb sandwiches! read more

The best food HANDS DOWN! What I love most about it is that the owners create everything from scratch & made with love! They do it all themselves as they are particular with their recipes & handling of food. Worth the wait and love their catering too. read more

Doesn't get much better than $9 (tax included) for fresh, delicious, amply-sized, and quickly prepared pasta. Includes garlic toast. I'm a particular fan of the spinach ravioli. Skip the coffee (watery) and baked goods (always tastes a few days old and bought from Costco), and just enjoy the pasta bliss. I wasn't thrilled with the turkey sandwich, but I'm also not really a deli sandwich guy. read more

Went here because the reviews are pretty good. I had a the turkey sandwich. It was good, no complaints about the food, but for the price, you're better off going to Breka a few blocks up Bute street. You get better value for your money there. For the price you pay at Melville you should at least get a bag of chips with your sandwich. read more

The price is great, the customer service is spot on and the food is great. The beef sandwich is 10/10. My 11 Y/O daughter gave the chicken pasta 10/10, and my wife stated that her chicken pesto sandwich was just awesome. read more

Very fresh yummy sandwiches, in long time didn't have such good sandwich very soft bread. Definitely will be back.

The best place to get soup and sandwich in Vancouver. Lovely owners. Courteous and friendly. Exceptional value for money.

I'm obsessed with the veggie sandwich here :) Great little cafe in Coal Harbour - check it out!

Woke very early today. This was probably the only place nearby that was open. I didn't eat dinner the night before so It is easy to say that I was craving something warm to eat. I was in the mood for soup and sandwich. Unfortunately soup wouldn't be ready for like 20 min they told me. I was saddened but I still ordered something. I ordered ham croissant. He asked if I'd like egg. I said yes. He upgraded my croissant by adding the egg for Free. HE warmed my heart by doing that. He gave me a great substitution for not having soup, and for that I am grateful. Croissant was amazing. I will come back! read more

Had a Veggie Sandwich and Tuscany soup. One of the best grilled sandwich we have had. Staff was also super nice and humble.

Wow. Life is fully of surprises. This place was recommended to me by co-workers, who probably found it randomly. I went in for a sandwich, and it was amazing. Sourdough bread, roast beef (but like.... REAL roast beef), and cheese + veggies. All melted on a grill to a delicious combination... Love it. I have a feeling I will be going back again, and again, and again....! read more

I wasn't feeling well this morning and craved some quick and easy homestyle comfort food. I found Melville Cafe after a Yelp search and immediately walked over from my office to pick up some soup. I am still eating it as I type this, but I felt the review couldn't wait because this is the BEST chicken noodle soup that I've had since moving out of my mom's house over ten years ago. It has so much flavour! The cilantro (or what I think is cilantro...?) adds a really nice kick to the broth and the bread that was served with the soup was perfectly soft and toasted. I dipped it in my soup and had what can only be described as a spiritual awakening. read more

I decided to try out this little place yesterday since I live in the neighbourhood, and it's on my way home. The sandwiches all looked completely reasonable and well priced. I tried the daily special of chicken curry and it was ok although nothing too special. A good place to grab a quick bite during lunch hour. As a quick addendum, yelp needs to change the categorization of Melville Market because it is a food shop and not a department store. read more

Love this place, best sandwiches around. Great juices too. Apple ginger lime is my fav.

Today I had a chance to try Melville Cafe foods , I really enjoyed the taste of food was great.

It's a quaint little cafe! The sandwiches there were pretty good. I got the turkey and club ham sandwiches and they were one of the better ones! Not a big wow factor anywhere but definitely a flavourful sandwich! read more

Great spinach ravioli. Wish it was fresh boiled instead of microwaved but I went at 4pm.

This little cafe has THE best soup and sandwiches. Everything is so tasty and fresh. It's a small little place run by a sweet couple and the food has a 'home cooked' feel to it. It's not food court food, but like mom's cooking. Definitely try this place and the creamy chicken soup or the Tuscan soup! Mmmm! read more

Highly recommend Melivlle Cafe/Catering as a healthy alternative. It's the best place for breakfast and lunch in downtown Vancouver! They serve scrumptious breakfast wraps, hot and tasty soups, fresh salads, and various types of sandwiches, all homemade from scratch with love. read more

Excellent sandwiches! The curb appeal and interior is nothing special, but the food is great and we all enjoyed it. Really nice staff. Accommodated our son who wanted grilled cheese and it wasn't on the menu. If you're looking for a quick place that's reasonably priced, eat at Melville Cafe! read more

Best sandwiches in Vancouver- fresh, tasty, high quality ingredients. I go here at least once per week for lunch. They have great soups and pastas too! Family run business and they are all very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend trying it! :) read more

This is a cute little cafe in downtown. It's clean and staff is very nice. I had Kotlet sandwich which was crispy and very flavorful. Kotlet is a patty made of ground lamb, potato, carrots, and spices. The sandwich comes with fresh veggies and a very tasty sauce. I had a side of lentil soup which was rich and perfectly seasoned. This is a perfect place for quick and healthy lunch and I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in downtown Vancouver. read more

This place is great! So glad I found It. Fresh, homemade sandwiches, and the soup..omg so Good. I love the chicken noodle and the creamy chicken. The owners are super nice as well. I used to work in the area and I would eat there every day..now that I don't work close anymore I really miss this place!! read more

Just moved into the neighbourhood and happened to walk by this place and popped in for lunch. So pleasantly surprised! I had the chicken sandwich and it was amazing. So fresh and tasty. Nothing fancy, just good old school food! This will definitely be my go to for a quick lunch or takeout. Highly recommend! read more

Nice family owned cafe with great lunch options. The soup is always delicious and the turkey sandwich (with pickles, mmm) is also great.

If you're looking for a good, normal, reasonably priced sandwich for a weekday lunch downtown, Melville Market is your place. Quality bread, good selection of meats, cheeses, and veggies. She'll make your sandwich in front of you, exactly how you want it. Your choice of everything, sliced or not, grilled or not. They have chips, drinks and homemade soups and salads. One of my favorite little-known lunch spots. A friendly, quiet, tasty and super down-to-earth alternative to Meat & Bread, Hubbub and the like. read more
