It's my go-to place whenever I have out-of-town visitors: the coffee is approved by my Vancouver coffee snobs, the dessert and decor are approved by Swiss and Norwegian and finally the food is approved by french and Chinese :). My favorite is the brunch. Our waitress was extremely nice which is rare in this hipsterland. There might be a lineup on the weekend but nothing crazy like the other popular (but disappointing) brunch places nearby.
