I'm just guessing here, but I suspect that the Capilano Market started out life as one of those…read moresmall neighbourhood food markets that sell sandwiches, and morphed over time into what it is now, which is a really superb cafe where you can pick up a few things if you need them. (Although the selection skews heavily to things they they probably use to make the food: lots of options for olives, but no 2-litre bottles of pop.) So as a market, it may be somewhat disappointing, depending on what you're looking for. But as a cafe, now that's a different story. The sandwich I had was the best sandwich I've had in months (including the sandwiches I've made for myself). I didn't even order anything fancy: just a B.L.T., but what was placed in front of me was a work of art. The bread was soft, the bacon was crisp, and the filling was abundant enough that I had to work at keeping it from sliding out before I could eat it. This place is a hidden delight.

And they are speedy with a ton of employees helping out with the amount of people they are serving! Decor is super bright and open. They have many seating options a which is nice. I love the variety of offerings they have on their menu! And the menu is quite large. I ordered a freshly squeezed OJ and the VEGGIE omelette (Seasoned guacamole, mushrooms, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, scallions and goat cheese) but subbed cheeses and added pesto. As I write this now, they forgot the guac. The OJ is fine (I prefer more pulp) but a great start to the meal. The omelette is huge! I am not kidding, this was 3 meals for me! It comes with a very small portion of their potatoes which were fine but not warm or crispy. You also get two slices of toast but there is a sub charge for sourdough (again - based on their website, they don't have sourdough but brioche so we got that). Service was fast and friendly but at times, we were almost rushed. Which makes sense since they are BUSY! I would recommend this place for a quick bite!

I came here with a friend to have breakfast lately. I got the pesto philly steak skillet and a mango drink. My friend got a coffee and pancake. Service was pretty good. My steak skillet was not bad but it would be better if there was less pesto. Portion size was big. I was surprised that they were not busy the last time I showed up. I remember when they first open there would always be a wait. Note that this location doesn't have free parking. They do have a paid parking lot downstairs. The decor of the place was nice. All Pür & Simple have the same or similar layout and design. I will be back for sure.

We stopped by for a #3 Viet Xiu Mai sandwich combo with a pork spring roll and coke. My hubs had…read morethe #7 Deluxe Classic with extra mayo. What we received were hot, juicy and crispy sandwiches that were sliced in half for us since we decided to dine in. All the flavours we expected were there however we noticed that the sandwich size had gotten smaller since the last time we were here a few months ago. The fillings to bun ratio were balanced but there seemed to be less room for the pickled veg and cilantro toppings. This would also mean that the fillings were reduced to match the bun size too. No what I was expecting. My spring roll was fresh, hot and meaty. Better than expected. My sandwich combo was $14.50 while my hubs sandwich was $11 which is not bad but was better in the past. Value verdict: 4/5 because they reduced the size of their sandwiches and the quantity of fillings. Service at the order counter was helpful and prompt delivery of the sandwiches to our table was most appreciated. They have a large selection of canned cold drinks from a self serve cooler as well offering traditional Vietnamese coffee, fruit flavoured teas and lemonade drinks. One of the reasons we chose to dine in in this tiny shop was for their air conditioning and to eat our sandwiches hot and fresh. Very limited number of tables (2) and a window counter to seat 3-4 diners. They do offer a frequent sandwich buyer feature. Cash and all cards accepted. No washroom. Limited wheelchair accessibility due to the size of the shop and tables within.

Less toppings, veggies haven't been fresh and bread noted to be a bit stale also. Overall meat quality seems to be lower as well. Service is semi slow but the stores are always clean. Nice that they have a loyalty program for those who still enjoy it. The tofu salad roll is large.

The woman was especially warm and kind, and when I went outside to enjoy my coffee, the gentleman came out and chatted with me for a while. I was surprised to learn that the café has been operating for somewhere between 16 and 19 years. The panini I ordered was delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The owner told me that he even makes his own mayonnaise and prepares everything from scratch whenever possible. You can taste the care that goes into the food. This is the kind of small, independently owned café that is well worth supporting.

Food Quality The roast beef dip featured tender beef piled on crusty bread with rich au jus for dipping, making it a standout comfort meal. The clubhouse packed fresh veggies, cheese, and meats into a hearty stack--both were generously portioned and far above standard food court fare. Price Breakdown No sides included, yet two sandwiches pushed past $40, which feels steep for mall dining without extras like fries or soup. Quality ingredients shine through, but it's a splurge that might give budget shoppers pause. Crowd and Vibe Very few customers were around during the visit, despite the lively food court setting next to spots like Cazba Persian Grill. The modern counter setup and quick service suggest it's more of a hidden gem for those seeking elevated sandwiches over fast-food speed. Ideal For Chachi's suits shoppers or office workers craving gourmet-level sandwiches without leaving the mall, but the price and low foot traffic leave it feeling niche--who's the target beyond occasional indulgence seekers?

The cooking follows the KISS mentality - Keep It Simple Stupid! But yet the flavours are very well thought out. The veggie omelette (which is pretty much a frittata) was AMAZING.

The BLT was amazing, it had great sauce - and the bacon was perfect. Again, it was served with the most amazing fries. The prices are super decent and my coffee was delightful!

There was not a soul in the restaurant. We weren't really treated so I asked if we ordered at the counter or should we seat ourselves and they would come to the table. He told us to take a seat. We did. We waited about 5 mins. Thinking they'd bring us a menu or ask if we wanted coffee. We looked at the menu on the wall to see what we might want. But no one came to take an order or bring me us. They just kept restocking and cleaning. So my hubby n I decided to leave. So really did t eat there. Got no service. Would not recommend.
