Vancouver's Best Breakfast
"Known for their pulled pork pancakes, The Red Wagon Cafe is an East Vancouver favorite. Some brunch places around the city stop service around 3 pm, but these guys are open until 9 pm on the weekend. This bodes well for those who may have had a late night and need a late start to the day."

"A post shared by The Foodventures Of Erin (@lesstalkmoretacos) on Feb 2, 2018 at 5:08pm PST. While the Naam has a number of items that range from the $5 to $15 mark, what helps this all-veggie restaurant shine is the hearty portion sizes. You’d be surprised at how much you can fill up with their plate of veggies; we highly recommend trying their fries with extra miso gravy."

"As for late night munchies you can’t go wrong with a quick trip to The Naam. These guys have been ‘doing’ vegetarian since before it was a thing and that has noticeably given them time to perfect their craft. Delicious, no-fuss, quick and easy veggie comfort food."

Its menu has been temporarily condensed due to the pandemic, but all the favourites are there: pork belly benny with house hollandaise and shredded hash browns; the Charlie bowl with crumbled buttermilk biscuit, ham, bacon, hash browns, and sunny side eggs; and banana walnut pancakes with sautéed bananas and walnuts in maple butter.

"A post shared by Jam Cafe Vancouver (@jamcafeyvr) on Jan 26, 2019 at 4:06pm PST. Vancouverites are obsessed with Jam Cafe’s all-day breakfast menu and are willing to wait upwards of 40 minutes in line to get their fill. Jam Cafe’s menu is arguably all epic, but if we had to narrow it down to a single ultimate dish, we would say the Fried Chicken French Toast is deserving of the title."

"The lowdown: Owners Sienna Gan and Vicki Chen opened up shop in September to long lineups ravenous for one thing: their light-as-air Japanese soufflé pancakes, which are hand-whisked with heaps of cloudy egg white and griddled in the open kitchen. Must-order: It’s all about the jiggle if you order a classic stack of three pancakes with a side of salty butter and pure maple syrup—shake that plate for a tasty Instagram boomerang of the cakes in motion. But also: If you crave savoury over sweet, visit on a weekend because that’s when the eggs benedict and smoked salmon and avocado plate (yes, both served atop pancakes) are added to the menu."

Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."
