Wow how lucky were we that this restaurant is only around the corner from our hotel. 1950’s style diner with genuine furniture and trappings. Great variety of dishes and the the quality was excellent. We had the Avocado Toast. Great to have fresh fruit served on the side.
This spot is Awesome!!! It’s a cute small cafe with home style cooking. It has the cutest decor and the staff is amazing. We tried other breakfast spots in this area and they don’t compare. The breakfast is hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. My hot cocoa was great too. We were visiting from Texas and this was one of the spots that reminded us of home with the food. Nice portion sizes too. The do have a cute clean restroom through the kitchen if you are like me and always need to go. You have to visit this spot wether you are local or visiting.
Food was great and the original 50's style was a great step back in time. Staff were really nice and prices reasonable for good quality food. I will definitely visit again
Stopped in on a rainy day. The restaurant is super small, and there could be a wait but the service and taste make up for it. We had bloody Mary’s and Mimosa’s. We all had a great breakfast, a lot to choose from. We had the Eggs Benedict and the the Truckers Breakfast. If you’re in town, stop by!
Excellent breakfast place. Very friendly staff. Service is timely. Food is delicious. Ambiance is american diner style. Reasonably priced. Overall good value for money!
What a great old-school diner! The decor has been preserved since the 1950s and definitely adds to the dining experience. I ordered a Mac & Cheese with pulled pork and fries. The pulled pork was definitely the highlight, whereas the mac & cheese was just alright. Would recommend giving this place a try!
After having read many reviews about how good the food is and the fact that there usually is a long line up it certainly did not live up to the hype. We did wait for about 15 minutes to get a table as the place is relatively small. The truckers breakfast was tasteless in particular the frozen deep fried potatoes cubes sprinkled with dried rosemary and "sauteed" vegetables were just cold raw zucchini, onion and green pepper chunks. Coffee could have been hotter. Eggs were very good. Better than a fast food chain breakfast I suppose. Great decor. Was tempted to try the coconut cream pie, but after the breakfast opted not to.
I did not appreciate the quality of the pancakes enough the first time I came here. They're not world-class but definitely better than most in town. Bonus points for getting as much syrup as you want. The milkshake was good but didn't live up to the high expectations set by The Templeton's multiple features in online articles. The pecan pie was flavorful but a little brittle for my taste. I nitpick a lot but the overall experience was definitely memorable.
Had breakfast here last week and it was delicious!While In vacation last week I was searching for a place that offered your usual bacon and eggs/ pancake place that wasn’t a a chain restaurant or didn’t try to pass it self off as a high end fancy place that charged $30+ for breakfast.I discovered this place on Google maps and the reviews seemed very good and the pictures looked amazing! So I decided to make the 20 min walk from my hotel and discover this place.It’s very small place and I almost walked bright by it except I noticed the long line up on the street sidewalk.There was about 10 people in front of me. And I usually can tell when their is a line up it means good food!I only waited about 5 min then a hostess came out looking for a single patron, and that was me! She sat me right away.Again a very small place probably can’t seat anymore then 30 people at a time? (guessed) has booth seating and seating at a bar like an old 50s dinner, which is exactly the vibe they are going for.The menu has something for everyone, both lunch and breakfast items.Bacon and eggs, sausage, French toast, pancakes, eggs Benedict, home fries, burgers, sandwiches, fries, milk shakes.They also serve alcohol, and apparently make a great boozie Milkshake.I had eggs Benedict made with Pulled pork, rosemary Home-fries and a side of sausage with an orange juice to drink!It was a great breakfast and decently priced too!.
I had breakfast at a different restaurant every morning and The Templeton wins on all three flavour, service and pricing. There's a few great restaurants in Vancouver but this one takes first place for me. If you only get one breakfast in downtown Vancouver, make it this place. There might be a wait to get in and there's a very good reason for that. It's worth it.
