Love this place. They feel homey within the Kitsilano neighborhood. Regardless of party size, there might be a wait. I often come here with a group of people so sometimes seating can take longer than a party of 2. The size of the place is somewhat small so it's a cozier setting. Lovely staff, lovely vibe. Food is not the best here (good enough, if you've had a few ciders and are peckish) but the star of the show is the cider. Highly recommend doing flights to get a taste of all their different ciders. My faves are blood orange, strawberry earl grey and POG. (These ones are on the sweeter, fruity side btw)
Super cute cider bar located in Kits right off the beach. Serves up a variety of cider and plant based food. My friend and I shared a flight and got: Mango Mint, Pina Colada, Earl Grey Strawberry, and Rosy. We definitely agreed the earl grey strawberry was our favorite! While the mango mint a bit of a disappointment, as neither of us tasted mango. We later decided to split the Brussel sprouts after drinks. While I'm a big fan of crispy Brussels, ours were slightly over cooked so the outer layers were burnt. A little disappointing. Overall, I'd come back for that delicious earl grey strawberry cider, but maybe not for food.
Having the cider house in the Kitsilano neighbourhood is such a win for the residence and people who hang out at Kitsilano Beach. To note, they are all vegan and have a really diverse menu of both drinks and food. We've had the kale and artichoke dip with chips, which was really great. The kale Caesar is the bomb. Jackfruit tacos are pretty decent though not super juicy but have a great flavor. We've had the mac & cheese and we aren't vegan so this one is a bit of a mess for us, but it's also what we expected for eating vegan mac & cheese. It's definitely a dish that you eat and you go yup that tastes like vegan mac & cheese ha ha The deep fried oyster mushroom calamari is also really delicious and deep-fried perfectly. The time we had, it was a tad salty, but we had other food so it kind of balanced out plus with the drinks we consumed. Getting a flight a super fun way to try a bunch of their siders and we were glad we did because we definitely found a few favourites like the apple cider as well as the pineapple jalapeño cider as well. If you're in the Kits neighbourhood stop because it's just a great spot to get a refreshing juicy drink and some delicious Noms. Wait staff are all friendly and attentive.
The folks working here are always SO nice and the food options are great! Lots of great sharing dishes to go with your fun drinks. I like a less-dry cider and enjoy the flights here, but my friends who prefer a drier drink don't love them quite as much. You can't go wrong with this as an option on a sunny day, followed by a walk to the beach!
LOVE this place and can't recommend it enough. Its sad that it took me so long to come but this will easily be a repeat offender. Location is on point, with patio space and plenty of inside spots. Service was pretty good and prices are high but so is all over! My only complaint is the stools. They are not comfortable and we didn't stay longer because they were not very nice to sit on. Lets start with the food. We ordered a lot! WARM KALE AND ARTICHOKE DIP (Cashew cream, kale, green onion, house almond parm, fresh corn chips) came first and I would have bathed in that dip. It was so freaking flavourful. Not overly artichoke heavy which I prefer. I really wish there was more because we literally scrapped the dish! MAPLE CHILI BITES (Crispy tofu, chili, maple, sesame, green onion) which were perfect pillows of fried tofu. No hints of maple but the perfect amount of chilli! OYSTER MUSHROOM CALAMARI (Lightly battered salt and pepper B.C. oyster mushrooms, house made cucumber mayo, chili sauce, green onion, lemon). No lemon but the chilli sauce (different than above) was a lovely addition. The batter was perfectly salted and the ratio of mushroom to batter was on point. The cucumber mayo was ok but not the best. ROASTED MUSHROOM POUTINE (Roasted mushroom gravy, mozza style cheese, caramelized onions) was not good. They came cold and the gravy was mid. I loved the touch of caramelized onions but the topping to fry (shoestring) ration was not even close. And cold! Lastly, we got the KALE CAESAR (Bacun bits, crispy capers, croutons, lemon, house almond parm). We made this GF as my friend is celiac. Perfect balance to the fried food, the dressing is light and not overpowering. And the capers were a perfect fit! As for drinks, we got a few flights of cider (I recommend the strawberry earl grey and the blood orange). As for cocktails the NOTHIN' BUT A G(UAVA) MARG, SUMMER OF '69, and LYCHEE GIMLET were the best!! Add that slush!
I met a friend here for a relaxed dinner. My friend got held up and arrived a while after I did, but the host was very chill and let me seat myself and hang out while I waited. The vibe was really nice. I chose a table in a comfortable alcove inside but the patio also looked inviting with great views. They have cider in what seems like every flavour you could think of and a food menu of vegan pub fare. I got the rum raisin cider and the mac and cheese. I'm not a big cider drinker but my cider was very good; the flavour hit exactly like I had hoped. I probably could've made the mac and cheese at home but I think I'm a decent cook so that's not really a bad thing. It was creamy and comforting, the "cheese" factor was pretty subtle for mac and cheese, but I liked it. The portion size on this was perfect for me and the price checks out. My friend enjoyed her fish and chips. Probably not the place to bring someone to wow them - unless they happen to be a cider enthusiast - but a good place for comfort food and great vibes.
Came here on drag bingo night, so fun! Ciders were really good, loved the variation. They always seem to have fun events on! Didn't try any food except French fries (which were great) no issues accommodating my peanut allergy just fine (woohoo!) I'll be coming back.
Super cute little spot with great vibes! Doesn't matter if you're on a date, going out with the family, or just looking for a spot to hang out and read. I came relatively early in the night and it was quiet but started to get busier as I was leaving. I had a flight of cider and there were so many unique options to choose from. The bartender was really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Their food menu looks great with plenty of vegan options -- I wish I hadn't just eaten a big meal on Granville Island or I would've had something to eat. Not really reflective of the spot but it's also in a really cute neighborhood that is super accessible by public transportation. So you have no excuse not to come here!
I love cider, so naturally when a place opened up in Vancouver that had flights of cider I had to try it out! There was a bit of a wait (45 mins), on a Friday night, which was to be expected. When we got in the tables were socially distanced and the staff had masks on so it was worth waiting to be safe! The actual cider menu had to so many great sounding options that it was hard to pick just 4, but I was very very happy with my choices! My favourite was the "Big Dry", just because it's a classic and not sweet. I also tried the Rose: really good and perfect for people who like sweet cider, the blackberry hibiscus was the best flavoured cider I had, and the passion fruit was my friends favourite! Overall, it's a really cute spot and the cider options are extensive and taste great!
Got a flight of cider: blueberry basil (very good). Pineapple jalapeño (it was good). Mango mint (just ok, didn't get much mango or sweetness). Strawberry Earl grey (really liked this). When it comes to their ciders, these were good and there are others I'd want to try. As for food I got the fettuccine and it was meh. Small portion for the price paid and not much flavour. I'd eat beforehand.

There are so many fun cider flavors to try, so I recommend getting the flight every time. The food is all vegan, but I think it appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike! My favorite dish is their kale pasta. read more

My husband and I came here for an early dinner before their "Pottery Night" event. We each had a flight of ciders (they had 20 on tap)! It was really awesome to try so many different types of cider. We also enjoyed the well made vegan menu and shared: Burger with side of poutine - the burger was very tasty, and the fries were top notch. The mushroom gravy was a bit too heavy on the corn starch or whatever thickener they used, making it weirdly gummy, and was somewhat lacking in flavour. But otherwise this was quite good. Jackfruit Tacos - we ordered an extra one. This was decent, but a bit underwhelming for me. The ingredients were fresh. As for the Pottery Night, that was fun! Anais, who runs the event was very kind and patient, and gave us guidance along the way. I ran out of steam after making a few Christmas ornaments, so my husband used the rest of my clay for his projects (ashtrays). I recommend signing up the next time they do this! read more

Can't say enough about how much we love going to the Cider House. Love the flights Food is soo yummy (don't even miss the meat cause the flavors are awesome) Love the vibe Service is always Amazing....we were thrilled with the special treatment from Felipe. We can't wait to be back soon Highly recommended read more
Fairly new, quaint neighbourbood place in the heart of Kits and a couple blocks from the beach, opened during Covid. It's a tiny place, with some outdoor/patio seating that fills up quickly. I had visited here before only for cider. When I discovered they had an all-vegan menu, I knew I had to return for that. They do weekend brunches, offering 6 or 7 creative options. We ordered brunch takeout, which was ready within 10-15 mins. We each went for the Full English breakfast, which comes with vegan sausage, vegan bacon, tofu scramble, fried wild mushrooms, fried tomato, toast, and refried/baked beans, served with a fantastic homemade ketchup-esque sauce. Everything was frankly fantastic, especially the sausage, bacon and mushrooms. The portion was very generous, and acceptably priced ($17) for what you get. We will definitely be back soon to try their other brunch items. (EDIT: We returned to try some other brunch items: the wild mushroom & kale hash and the sausage sandwich, both of which were excellent. I'd go for the Full English over these two items, but everything has been great here.) Cider-wise: 20 cider taps, including 4 unique ones made for the place by Fraser Valley Cider and Nomad; the rest are all from BC. Flights of 4 are rather absurdly priced at $13.95 (or $15.95 for premium ones) plus tax and tip, so you're paying minimum $18 for a flight -- that's pretty insane for basic craft cider. Really loud interior with loud music blaring (though they seem to have fixed that since my first visit). Overall, my rating here reflects the fantastic food/takeout experience, which couldn't have been much better. This quickly became one of our top spots for vegan breakfast/brunch in Vancouver. Highly recommended. read more

Didn't even realize this was vegan until seated and surprisingly pleased by the tastiness and quality of the food. Server was great also. read more

Great new find near kits beach, enjoyed the cider flight and plant based burger! They have indoor and outdoor seating available - overall quite a nice vibe to the place. For the cider flight $13.90, I tried the Mango Mint, Blackberry Hibiscus, Hail Mary Rose, and Passion Fruit (ranked starting from the best). Mango Mint is something I would definitely go back for, but there are lots more flavors to try. Already eyeing the Jicama Ceviche for my next visit! read more

I'll start by saying - I despise vegan food! Every time I've tried something - it hasn't been enjoyable at all! Cider House has changed my views on that. Wife and I ordered 2 flights of cider (yum), brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and dos tacos. Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

Can't recommend enough! Atmosphere was super fun, outdoor seating was awesome on a sunny day, and food was delicious. Best brussel sprouts we've ever had and the jackfruit tacos were incredible. So excited to come back! We were so pleasantly surprised that everything is vegetarian! read more
Went here for the first time last night. I definitely love the aesthetic and mood. The cider options were awesome, and love that they had a beer option as well. I would definitely suggest adding a wine and cocktail option for those going with people who might not want cider! The food menu looks pretty good, didn't try anything, seemed a tad pricey for vegetarian food but I'll try it next time. The bar seating left a little to be desired as there wasn't the best view of a messy corner of the patio. My one main complaint for not giving 5 stars is the fact that it reminded me of 33 acres, which I hate. They have the same system that you line up, make your order, take your order and pay right away. So you are given a tip option of 15, 20, 25 or custom when they are only pouring something and handing it back to you. Would like to see a little more customer service or interaction to warrant a 15%+ every single time I want another cider. read more

Cider house is the pinnacle of human evolution, me and my partner absolutely love the cider (we are big cider guys) and can say without a doubt it's some of the best we've ever had. The layout and overall vibes = impeccable. The fact that the food is amazing is just another cherry on top of everything. it's VEGAN?!AND TASTES GREAT?? What more could you ask for??? Although everything is super sweet. The people are one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Shout out to our homies Nikki, Felipe, and Jett. They are the best and you are guaranteed to have an amazing experience! read more

Cider house is a bloody institution. If you pay a visit to Nikki, Filipe, Jet and the crew, you'll be sure to have an existential crisis. The the cider is simply an out-of-body experience. read more
