Came here with my daugter and my mom. Daughter was craving an Acai Bowl so she and I both had Acai bowls. Hers was the Nalu and mine was the Banzi Bowl. My mother had an Avocado Toast. Holy smokes, the Acai bowls here are massive. We were soooo full. If we ever come here again, we will just share one bowl with each other. Not sure that we will come here again though. The Acai bowls weren't bad but I've had better. I feel it could have been a bit sweeter. I was not impressed with my mom's Avocado Toast. I could see my mother struggling to cut her Avocado Toast so it seems the crust was quite hard. She ended up leaving a lot of the crust on her plate and just ate the middle of the bread. On the website I had seen Avocado Toast, sandwiches, wraps and Salmon Lox Bagel. I was quite dismayed to walk into this place and not see any of that stuff written on the menu. There was a small sign by the cashier that said to ask about Avocado Toast. I guess by the same token, I would have had to ask about Salmon Lox Bagel. Why make us ask about it? Why not just include it on the huge menu that was up on the wall? Might have made life easier when it came to ordering something for my mom who isn't into Acai bowls like us. This place seems to be somehow shared with Bean Around the World coffee shop which is right next door. There's no wall separating the two shops. You can walk from Anchor Eatery straight into the coffee shop next door. We ended up taking our food and drinks from Anchor Eatery and sitting next door at Bean Around the World coffee shop. Assumed it was allowed since there was no separation between the two shops and nobody tried to kick us out of the coffee shop. read more

I went here for a smoothie and was delighted to see that the menu had so many other options like açai bowls, smoothie bowls, sandwiches, baked goods and more. Staff were nice and contributed to a welcoming experience. read more

All the staff are so kind and they have amazing smoothies and food! I definitely will be coming back.

the whole menu is healthy and delicious. the service is great, everyone is always kind.

Sure! Ya! I liked my lunch here today. Was only coming for a coffee but for lunch instead. I had a Mexi wrap and a kombucha. Both were very good. The mexi wrap was nothing fancy and quite simple, but perfect. Sometimes restaurants go a little too fancy when they shouldn't. I saw a couple more items on the menu that I'd like to go back for another time. West Van is so cool. read more

The Anchor Eatery - a burrito and a bowl of salsa - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - West Vancouver, British Columbia

This is a pretty solid smoothie bowl place with a good amount of vegan options including salads, wraps and dessert. I enjoyed their smoothie bowl, breakfast wrap and kale caesar, but I wasn't a big fan of their brownie. I would go get dessert somewhere else. The price is a bit high but the portions are okay. Pitaya Bowl (4.5/5) This was really thick which is really important for me. The mango chunks weren't blended though, but I just pretended like they were part of the toppings. The bowl has a good amount of sweetness (I was worried that it would be too sweet due to the apple juice and mango) and I liked the flavour a lot. The granola was pretty good as well though the Bestie Granola from Juice Truck is still my all time favourite. I would have liked the granola to be on top rather than at the bottom, since it got soggy quickly and didn't taste so good after that. They top the bowl with banana (which I hate so I asked them not to add it), coconut flakes (not a big fan of coconut but you couldn't really taste much) and strawberries. I would get this again. Breakfast Wrap (4/5) This is a pretty solid option if you're looking for something hot. The tortilla is grilled nicely and there is a good amount of filling. I loved how there was a generous portion of spinach. The tofu scramble was decent and you get the option of adding on salsa, avocado (costs extra) and hot sauce. I would have liked to see beans or corn or caramelised onions in the filling to elevate the flavour, but it was still pretty good nonetheless. Kale Caesar (4/5) This was a decent kale caesar, though the one at Beetbox is still my all time favourite. There was a good amount of dressing (I hate it when I run. out of sauce) and I loved the crispy chickpeas on top. The kale was fresh but I wish it was a little softer, and I would have liked a little nutritional yeast on top for some extra flavour. Brownie Cub (1/5) These were tiny for the price. These little things were $2 and they were the size of my thumb. The texture was gummy and it tasted artificially sweet. I wasn't a fan of these and I'm kind of mad that I paid for this. I would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area for a smoothie bowl. My dad got the french toast which isn't vegan and he wasn't a big fan of it. I would stick to their smoothie bowls and savoury items. read more

I am obsessed with their tuna poke bowls so every once in a while I need to feed my craving. Always do the avocado add on if you order this! Their smoothie bowls all sound delicious. Have only tried the Nalu bowl but all the combos I doubt you could go wrong. They also do fresh juice. I like the Beety Mary as I love beets but there's combinations of green juices as well. read more

We had a great breakfast wrap and smoothie from here. It was very filling, prices are great too! Definitely would come back again!

the best poke bowl in vancouver! because it's made with albacore tuna and all organic ingredients. I sure can taste the difference that premium quality makes. my only suggestion is to shred the nori into strips, so that it stays crispy and is easier to eat. serving it in one whole sheet instead, makes it way too soggy when the rice sits on top of it, and then it's too chewy to bite apart. the juices are also fresh and delicious, as are the acai bowls. I love this place! read more

The smoothie bowl was not how it used to be (or how it looks in their pictures) , half the portion, the girl didn't slice banana on top had to go back and ask. For $13 was not worth it. Also ordered an avo toast which had barely half an avocado on it for $6......was so disappointing and way too expensive. read more

We had lunch and coffee with our family at this beautiful hidden gem on our drive up to Capilano Suspension Bridge from our morning bicycle ride through Stanley Park. It was a perfect combination of healthy and tasty. The staff was super nice and friendly too. Will definitely visit again when we pass back through Vancouver! read more

Yum! A lot of vegan options, friendly service and great food. It's attached to the bean around the world so it's a great place to enjoy some fresh food and a nice coffee. Hint- there's a patio in the back of the coffee shop! Perfect for sunny days read more

Such a gem. The building is so old and cute, the fact that it's attached to a Bean Around The World is very cool and their back deck on sunny days is prime. Try their new Blue Crush Bowl and their avocado toast with kraut. It's a community hub. All sorts of people from that area, young and old. If I lived closer I would go every day. read more

Awful service. Awful awful awful. We waited a full 30 minutes for our 2 açaí bowls. There are 3 teenage girls that are unsupervised by anyone older and we had to ping them twice about our food. That is unacceptable. Why is there not a shift supervisor? The food was subpar. Avoid. read more

Tasty foods! Love tuna poke bowl and Luna! But need clean up, there are quite a few flies! read more

Came here with my mum as we were craving acai bowls, when we got there the man behind the counter was very nice and friendly towards us. We ordered the Nalu and the Hanuman both tasted good and a veggie samosa which was amazing! The only thing about the acai bowls is that there was way more granola than the actual acai smoothie part, it should be the other way around. Our order came out within a reasonable amount of time and the staff were nice and friendly! read more

I've literally been here almost every Friday since they opened up there doors. I haven't had any of their sandwiches or juices, only pizza, and holy sh*t does Natasha (and staff) ever make a good pizza. MY favourite off the menu is the hawaiian and a close second is the umami bomb. They often have pizza features and did an amazing spicy italian sausage and banana pepper pizza this week. I really hope they add it to the menu. The atmosphere is awesome, the pizza is great, the owners and patrons are all awesome people. Get over there. read more

I visited this place because it's close to my work. The first time I went, I ordered the Vegan Vice Salad and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. The tahini dressing is delicious and I loved all the ingredients in there. A great first impression made me go back the next day to try their tuna poke bowl since there is so much advertising for it. The first bowl had a dead moth in it. Oh well, it happens. I gave it back to the cashier and she asked me if I wanted a refund or for her to make another bowl. Since I only had half an hour for lunch that day, I asked for another since going to another place and ordering something else would take too much time. I thought the tuna was incredibly salty and in my bowl, around 2/3 of the tuna I got was frozen which was a bit of a shock. I ended up eating everything but the tuna which kind of defeats the purpose of the tuna bowl. This place is pretty overpriced so I had high expectations. read more

This place is awesome! Just had the Umami Bomb! Pizza and it is delicious! Tried their coffee cake as well and it is fantastic! You've gotta check this place out! read more

Definitely the most authentic, delicious açai bowls in Vancouver/area! To get the most for your money I recommend eating your bowl there, as the to go potions tend to be smaller! read more

The raw juice and smoothies are OUT OF THIS WORLD. The Squirrel balls are amazing and their pizza and board game nights on Friday is super fun and chill. The pizza is delicate and perfectly crafted. I seriously recommend an afternoon stop for some good sandwiches and a plus side is bean around the world is right next door. Perfect combo. read more

Me and my friends went on brunch here last Saturday. It was quite busy but luckily there were some people leaving so we got table. I had acai bowl and gluten free carrot quinoa muffin. It was delicious! I would come back. read more

Amazing service. Got the hero smoothie & it's literally one of the best smoothies I've had in the Vancouver area. I'm definitely coming back soon to try more! read more

I love this place; 5-star for both the food and service!! The 2 owners here are absolutely fantastic; they are knowledgeable, helpful, and truly have a passion in what they are serving. I have only been here for their Smooties, Acai Bowls (which I believe they were the first ones to introduce it to Vancouver) and now.. Pitaya Bowls!! Conclusion: Grab one of their bowls or smoothies during the summer time and walk down 1 block to Ambleside OR order a nice combination of a soup and sandwich during the winter months and sit near their little fireplace :) read more

I have always enjoyed the atmosphere here but today I had a weird experience. I went to go pay for my smoothie bowl with cash and the till didn't seem to be working so the cashier politely asked me if I had card. We tried the card but their seemed to be an error on the stores end and after a few minutes of trying the lady told me that it was on the house and I didn't need to pay. I said thank you and headed back to my seat. A few minutes later another worker called me over and asked me if I could finishing paying my bill in a bit of a rude tone. Obviously I am going to pay my bill but as someone who has worked in customer service for many years I feel like after they had told me that my bill was on the house of due to the inconvenience, it seemed a little off to call me back up to pay. This is the only weird experience I have had but I thought it should be mentioned. read more

Tuna Poke bowl fresh and fabulous - definitely add avocado. Pitaya bowl also yummy, crunchy coconut on top. Lots of different smoothies. Fast, friendly service. Parking difficult, but not trendy area for walking around. read more

The food was whatever, very classic west coast. Casual, nice atmosphere. But what really got me was I over heard a manager speaking very very rudely to an employee. This made me very uncomfortable, the manager even swore at the employee. After she was done putting down the employee I watched how sadly the employee moved after. Will not be coming back when I am in town. I can find this food at 70 other spots in Vancouver and not have to listen to a manager berate an employee. read more

I was in the area looking for a gluten free option (for some reason Savary Island Pies does not want to offer gluten free, even though lots of people are requesting it) and I saw beautiful sign in their window that says "Wheat Free". I went in and saw an assortment of buckwheat bun sandwiches as well as protein balls and vegan/gluten free cookies. Yum! I got the spicy tuna sandwich, not expecting much, but Holy Crap, that was the BEST GLUTEN FREE bun I've ever eaten. I'm so impressed. It was light, chewy, and best of all soft. I will be back here again and again, they've secured a spot with me. The juices looked great and can't wait to try them out. read more

The Tuna Poke bowl is a once a week must have for me. They have great gluten free options which are great for my gluten free kids. It's nice to have that as the primary option there instead of an after thought read more

I love this place. It's great food. But they are unbelievably slow! Understaffed? Slow? Slacking? For whatever reason they take forever. Smoothies don't take 20 minutes to make!!!! read more

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I hate that I love it so much and want to eat there all the time! Everything I've had here has been soooo amazingly yummy and being a gluten free vegetarian, that's saying something! The smoothies are all fantastic and the buckwheat biscuit sandwiches are delicious. If I could afford it I'd eat there everyday, as is, I pop in for a sandwich and smoothie once a week and load up on wheat free treats to tide me over till the next visit. I can't emphasize enough how great this food is - really, I've never fantasized about a gluten free muffin before but the chocolate banana ones at Anchor haunt my dreams! Service is always quick and friendly too! Wonderful place, wonderful people, please never go out of business! read more

My husband and I went for a weekend in North / West Vancouver and ended up at this eatery. We got there around lunch time so I had a Nalu bowl - acai berry blend with strawberries, bananas, granola and bee pollen (so delicious), and my husband had a butter chicken wrap. We also has some squirrel balls, which are delicious little energy balls full on peanut butter, seeds, cranberries etc. All ingredients are organic and many are gluten free and sugar free. We liked this little place so much that we decided to go back for breakfast the next day. We had banana chocolate chip muffins (still hot from the oven), and we ordered some cookies to go for later on in the day. I also got some sugar free, gluten free granola that is made on site so that I could enjoy it later in the week. This place is excellent! The people that work there are awesome and so helpful! We will definitely be returning next time we are in West Van. read more

Amazing açai bowl!! My mom got a sandwich and she said it was delicious as well. So healthy and tasty yum yum yum - and the staff were all really nice. read more

Acai bowls are terrific! Staff always friendly and lots of great healthy menu options.

They have gone so downhill. It has always been expensive but used to give good sized portions. I went yesterday and payed 13$ for their new pitaya smoothie bowl. First of all I got a tiny portion of smoothie with way to much granola. The smoothie part tasted like water. I was completely let down and didn't even end up eating it. Do not recommend read more

To me, the Anchor eatery is worth crossing the Lion's Gate Bridge for, especially for their juices and smoothies. They only used real ingredients, mostly fruits and veggies, and there are no fillers (such as crushed ice, sorbet, or whatever else people stain their smoothies with these days ). The combinations they use in their smoothies are great: I am usually pretty picky and want more of this or less of that at other places, but not at the Anchor. They really nailed it on the juices and smoothies. My favorite juice is the Popeye, and my favorite smoothie is the Green Envy. Mmmmm, Green Envy, I crave it just thinking about it. On top of that, their prices are very reasonable as far as juice and smoothies go. I also love their muffins. They are gluten free (if that matters to you), but regardless, they are the best muffins I have had, gluten-free or otherwise. The Voyageur cookie, a "healthy" cookie, is another addiction of mine. read more

The Anchor Eatery is connected to a coffee shop (whose name is escaping me but it is a chain coffee shop). I had high expectations as I've seen their Instagram and I like driving to West Van in the early morning, so I finally went in at 6:30 last week. I got the peanut butter monkey smoothie and it was not bad. Lots of seating (although I did get squished out of my table seat as this group of old ladies invaded my space so I had to move to the bar) and friendly staff. read more

Delicious, wholesome, fresh food! Great smoothies, soups and wraps. I recommend the butter chicken wrap if you're hungry with their daily soup option. I had a mushroom soup not long ago and it was fantastic! Love how they use fresh ingredients, and not over salted. We love this place. The owners are awesome too!! read more

After falling deeply in love with acai bowls in Hawaii, I've been on a quest to find an acai bowl in Vancouver on par with the quality and flavour that you can get on the tropical islands of Oahu or Maui. I've tried quite a few, (Radicle Juice, Juice Truck, Glory Juice Company), and none of them remotely compare - most are lacking in acai flavour, or cut with too many other ingredients. So far, The Anchor Eatery wins. Pros: the acai had a deep purple colour, which means more real acai was blended in the smoothie. The smoothie had a rich, fresh flavour, and wasn't watery or overpowered by other fruits. The granola was yummy and had almonds in it, which added a good texture. LOVE the bee pollen on top. Cons: my serving was considerably smaller than my friend's order, as though mine was a rushed afterthought and there wasn't enough left in the blender, (for $10, I expect a full serving), and the strawberries were thrown in on top of the granola, whereas my friends was perfectly aligned in a row. (Not a big deal, but presentation is a nice touch!) Service was not overly friendly. Regardless, Anchor Eatery gets my vote in flavour, and I'll definitely be back - hoping for better service, and a full sized serving! read more
