Good matcha latte with oat milk. Hash browns were okay for the price (2 small triangles for $4). Little loud. Seats hard. read more

I got the chorizo breakfast burrito for takeout. Cant comment much on service. People at the counter were nice enough. Place seemed decently clean but nothing special.. The burrito was hot and fresh. Outside was toasted and lightly crisp. Overall, good burrito. 2 main problems: It needs balance with some acidity. A side of a tangy salsa would make this thing amazing. second problem is it's quite small for $12. Value you're paying is absolutely absurd. If you think the big coffee chains served overpriced food, this place takes it to the next level. Way, way overpriced. read more

The service and attitude I received here from staff and management is terrible at best. I have been trying to communicate politely with the general manager and have consistently been ghosted. It was a terrible experience and I do not recommend this cafe. read more

Railtown Cafe - a cup of coffee with a bug in it - Cafes Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Conveniently located right by the Waterfront Station entrance by the 95 bus, Railtown Cafe has been my stop for food before I head to class. The cafe is ALWAYS packed with a ton of people for good reason. The ingredients here are fresh and they have an open kitchen concept as you can see the chefs making salad and sandwiches in front of you. Personally the chicken club sandwich is my favourite sandwich from them as their focaccia bread is made in house and so fluffy and crispy and the chicken breast is moist and there's a ton of arugula in the sandwich. The sandwich is HUGE and very filling and definitely worth $12. The sandwich and soup came to be $16 before tax which isn't bad considering they make everything fresh and use fresh quality ingredients. Definitely a great stop if you're about to head into the bus or Canada line and are feeling hungry. read more

Railtown Cafe - Chicken Club (chicken breast, arugula, tomato, bacon, green goddess dressing, focaccia bread) and side Market Green salad - Cafes Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

When I passed the store and glanced at it, the Asian middle-aged male employee glared at me then went away quickly. He was rude to look at a potential customer that way. They did not ask us if we wanted the sour cream on top of the chilli and if we wanted cheese on top of the soup (they just put the sour cream and the cheese on top of them for us). We did not expect that; they should ask customers if customers want those toppings because some people might have allergy to dairy products. Moreover, the menu board was misleading. It showed 'Draft Beer' but the cashier said they only had cans. Also, the board indicated wine by the glass and the cashier said they only sold wine by the bottle. If the menu board was correct and clear, then we would not have asked which was a waste of everyone's time. In addition, they did not have soap and toilet paper in the washroom while there were many employees on the floor and someone could have checked the washroom. Furthermore, the washroom key only worked for one of the washrooms which caused the customers inconvenient (there was a long queue). P.S. That Asian male employee came to us when we were eating and asked us 'Have we got everything' which disturbed our conversation and he did not disturb others similarly. read more

I've been here multiple times because the office I work at is right across the street from this. I've gotten their chicken club sandwich many times and each time it's pretty consistent. Their sandwiches are all really big and worth the $11 in my perspective. The soups that I get on the side sometimes aren't always worth it though. As they are almost $5 each and for a small portion. I even get coffee here from time to time and I would say it's pretty good as they use Parallel 49 coffee beans (yummy). Overall, not a bad place to try out if you are in the area. But be prepare to spend about $16.00 for lunch (soup and sandwich). Though this place does offer gluten free options so that's a plus for people who can't eat gluten. read more

Terrific sandwiches, with prices to match the quality. The best ones are The Veggie, The Reuben, The Salmon, The Smoked Turkey, and The Italian. I found The Vegan to be off-balance (beet overload), The Chicken Club to be a bit bland, and The Pork to be too similar to a banh mi (at over double the price). Great coffee in the morning; unfortunately they often don't keep it fresh in the afternoons. Espresso beverages are decent (above Starbucks quality). Nice space that gets uncomfortably packed at lunch. Their Howe St. location is also good. read more

As I had a mouth filled with foccacia, pesto and the veggie filling, I hear a server call out my name and an identical sammy in her hands. She made eye contact with the chipmunk-looking me and decided that THAT sandwich was definitely for someone else. I mean, I'll take another one if you want! :P I had the veggie sandwich ($10) and quite liked it. They are really busy with the professional crowd and there was a line up when I went. Food came out fairly quickly. I really like that we can see the chefs make the food in front of you in this location. Really liked watching one of the girls make salad as I waited to make my order. I also got some kombucha ($6) in my own cup which was really nice. Blueberry lavender flavor, would recommend. Nice and fizzy. Would come back and try some of their salads. The have a nice water fountain as well! read more

Pretty good matcha almond latte. Very chill, WiFi is available. They had cookies the size of my head, and I really wished for one. Good service, lots of room for meetings or working or daydreaming or reading, the best things to do in a coffee shop. read more

Love their sandwiches. They are high quality with good ingredients. Also the staff at both locations (1st ave main and downtown) are super nice. I tried their pistachio rosé latte today and it was super tasty. I would recommend this place for working or meeting a friend. Not good for work meetings as music is a little loud here. Great place for grabbing lunch. read more

Ordered a breakfast sausage'n'egger on English Muffin...tasty, smallish in size overall, but sausage patty firm and sizzling. Enjoyed a drip coffee (super delish), settled in to watch the rain fall on Granville Street. Service a tad slow, and confusion around the till and ordering/pickup procedure so will revisit to see if this has improved. Located at Granville and West Hastings, a fine addition to the eateries in the neighbourhood. No street parking at all. read more

Fun atmosphere. Great food. Tastey coffee. Not a problem with anything! I had the bacon Egger sandwhich and enjoyed an Americano. Lunch looked like a good menu as well but didn't have a chance to try! read more

Railtown Cafe - Bacon & Egger - Cafes Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

decided to drop by while waiting for a friend. i ordered a chai latte and the espresso brownie. the chai latte was nice and mild, with the hint of spice it needs. i ordered a small cup and id say they were still pretty generous. the espresso brownie was cute--topped with an instagrammable gold flake. it was rich, decadent, and flavorful. the service was great! youre greeted and thanked with a smile. as for seating, theres plenty; the front with natural lighting and people watching, and the back where the TV is. great place! read more

Great spot downtown. I often get americanos from here and sometimes the blueberry muffin which I love (lots of berries)! Have also had the quiche for lunch which was affordable and delicious. Service is friendly and reasonably quick although sometimes busy in the mornings. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Rude server who seems always in a bad mood. Screams and yells at customers when asked simple questions. Also you don't actually need to tip in this place as everything is for to-go during covid. read more

Not gonna lie, I was pretty pumped up when I saw this location was gonna be opening soon. Took a little bit of time but we made it. They opened up when I was out of town and upon my arrival, I went thrice in one week...yes, thrice. Their chicken w/bacon on focaccia is foccin great (B+ pun) and just to be "healthier" I had their spinach salad and no joke, best salad ever. Would love if they knocked a dollar or two off some of the prices, but still a must-visit spot for lunch, at least every other week. read more

We hired these guys to do catering for a recent event in the office and they were awesome. The appies were nicely presented, everyone loved the food and the communication between myself and the event coordinator in the office was very professional. The onsite staff that day were super polite and friendly. read more

I go here often as it is right below my office! Everything is consistently good - staff are friendly, fresh and tasty products. Something for everyone :) read more

I used to go here fairly regularly but I've always found it slightly overpriced. Today though was so disappointing though. I ordered the beef barley soup (soup not watery broth) gluten free. They gave me a cup and a half of beef broth with a tablespoon of beef and fat chunks. Because I suspected the soup would be thin, I asked for them to add rice or quinoa to it. They "generously" added a tablespoon of rice. I asked for a side of bread and they gave me two half size slices of bread. I was charged extra for because it was gluten free. So I got beef broth, a tablespoon of rice, a tablespoon of beef and fat, and two small slices of bread for $12 and change. Lesson learned. Not worth it or the line up. read more

Well to update my review. I've come back here a couple more times. The food is actually really good. I've had the salads and quiche.And the staff is pretty nice. I'd give them 5 stars if it hadn't been for that 1 bad interaction. read more

I started to use their app to order in advance but it is consistently off in estimated time that the order is ready by an extended period time. Will start going places that are more accurate. read more

I like railtown sandwiches, and the soup, but when I seen the fruit flies in the dessert container it turned me off, please railtown, put the desserts in a more sanitary spot for us. read more

Came here after Chez Christophe stopped selling their beef brisket sandwich. They informed they got their brisket from here. So i picked up The Reuben. It's quite good but the bread of coarse is not as good as Chez Christophe. Hope these two get back together again in some way. read more

What a great little place, visiting Vancouver for the day and stopped in for lunch. It was fantastic. Had the vegan sandwich on multigrain. Delicious! Also had the tomato soup and the pork and bean soup. Also very good. Heading to the Vancouver lookout next. read more
