Homer Street Cafe exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a nice quiet brunch spot where we can celebrate our successes of 2024. Our waitress was professional and a spot on. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent. Everyone in our party was extremely pleased as this was all of our first time visiting this restaurant.

Great tea selection and it was great that I could try different kinds of teas in the same visit. I had three kinds! Tea is made at the kitchen counter in glass pot to perfect coulour, leaves are removed before brought to table. Therefore it doesn’t becomes too strong until the last drop of pot. All of us couldn’t finish food, so took home the left over to home. Was great atmosphere and great service!

It was my first visit to Vancouver from NJ so I was on the hunt for the best poutine. This place did not disappoint! I had the best burger, poutine, and local ale ever with the best view and the kindest waiter. Thank you, Jordan!
