Cafe Zen - Vancouver

My wife I found on a sunny Sunday morning. we both had eggs for brunch. very impressed by the quality of food service. Cafe decoration and decoration very colorful and bright. will definitely visit cafe cen again. in the near future. do not have hesitaion to recommend it for breakfast/brunch

I remember this place opening over 3 decades ago when living in Vancouver but never visited. This time my host took me there and it was very enjoyable. My eggs were done just the way I like them. Most places can't get them right ie...over medium but not too runny. The place was very busy on Saturday morning and I returned with a friend the following Tuesday. It wasn't busy and most enjoyable as well. Service on both mornings were very attentive.

Our friend who lives in Vancouver found this place for a Sunday morning breakfast. . We got there about 9:00, the place was sort of busy, but when we left there were at least 20 people waiting to get in. The exterior doesn’t give a...clue to how adorable it is inside. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Omelets, eggs over easy (cooked perfectly) and French toast...all good choices!!! Highly recommend!!!

My friend and I visited Cafe Zen on a Wednesday early afternoon (today). I arrived earlier and then my friend arrived. I knew I wasn 't hungry because I 'd had a late lunch but my friend was undecided when she arrived. She ended up also deciding...not to have any food at the end and we ordered a Mocha and a Latte. There was literally only one other table that was occupied so the place was far from being busy and there was no good reason for the waitress ' attitude. We weren 't occupying a coveted table or anything. Regardless, being a good Canadian, I apologized and going on with our reasons for not ordering food as I realized the waitress had the most unwelcoming stare and she wasn 't even listening. Then she turned her back with no comment whatsoever. My friend and I were both shocked at the rudeness. I will definitely NOT go back. The Kits area is full of servers (maybe she was the owner, I don 't know) who are more than happy to provide good friendly service. Your loss, Cafe Zen.

A cozy atmosphere with servers knowing their repeat customers. Serving sizes are large and food variety is typical western. Nothing extraordinary, but very busy for a Sunday morning.
