Fabulous breakfast and great coffee. A short but very good breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Just a short walk from here. Head out to the alley and turn right, then left on Ronald and right on South Ave. Go to the lights and you can see Cambie on your left. There is usually plenty of room inside. On a nice day you can sit on the small patio downstairs, or they have a lovely deck upstairs.
