I had such an amazing latte and breakfast!! Our server was so kinda and knowledgeable about the menu. The hashbrowns are so unique and incredible! Love the vibes and can't wait to come back in the summer when the patio is open!

I ordered an expresso and a pumpkin spice muffin and was amazing. The staff super polite and the place smells so good. I will come back for a breakfast one day. I do t understand why 4.2 on Google … I believe this will change soon.

I had the classic breakfast. It was great. Love the atmosphere. The servers are fun and the price was excellent for the food. I couldn’t wait to eat the food so the photo is the after with no before pics.

Ordered the avocado toast, described on the menu as being served on toasted sourdough with feta, cream cheese and a soft poached egg. I waited 25 minute for the food and then got .. well that thing in the pic. A hard poached egg beside a browning avocado and a cold alice of sourdough that looked like wonder bread.. $16.00 w/o tax or tip.

Also ordered a side of bacon, that was awesome. And the artichoke dip which just tasted like lemons and cream cheese. I sent back the avocado toast and said the rest was great and the server was really nice about it, said she’d take it off my bill. Didn’t get upset at all. It happens, I get it.

Got to the counter and she said she got in trouble for trying to take it off. I had to pay for half of it and I wasn’t offered to keep the food.. Weak. This place used to be really nice. Why would I have to pay for that and not even be able to keep it? Own your mistakes.

My food was left in the food pass in the kitchen. A very small portion for 16 dollars coffee was ok tasted watered down. Both front staff got over welmed by ten people.

This spot is a great place for a meal or even to just enjoy a beer in a welcoming environment. The recent renovations have made the space even more inviting.

The bison burger is full of flavor and cooked just right. I chose to have it accompanied by the Thai Coconut soup, which was very nice to the tastebuds

The service was kind and attentive, adding to the experience. With great food, a cozy setting, and friendly staff, Pacific Brimm Café is definitely worth a try for some food or an afternoon drink. Can’t wait for the patio to be open!

I had lunch here today and the food was absolutely delicious!! I had the eggs benny, the portion was huge with two eggs benny made on homemade biscuits with the best tasting bacon i have had in a long time, wonderful hashbrowns and a fresh spring salad with such a tasty dressing. I highly recommend this bistro, the staff were professional and friendly, checking that we were satisfied and had everything we needed. The bistro was clean and newly renovated and has a great outdoor patio in the back. I had a conversation with the owner about where they source their products from and she assured me that they try their hardest to support and source their products locally and if they are not able to they support Canadian and source within Canada....this was important to me and is another reason why I will continue to support this fabulous bistro and recommend that everyone try it...you will not be disappointed!!

After two really sad experiences here I've decided it's worth a review.
While I loved this cafe when it was cafe style and run as a counter service joint, and adore the coffee they serve, the service of table service staff is totally lacking.
I spent 34 minutes two months ago after being seated before anyone acknowledged me, and then only because I went to the counter to ask to order.
Now, today, we were sat on the patio and the waitress quickly said she would be right back for our order and didn't ask for a drink order. We waited around 20 or more minutes before looking over the menu several times and deciding the wait was absolutely not worth it, no one returned- we decided to leave and get a sandwich and coffee elsewhere as it would be faster than now placing our order there.
Totally disappointed at these experiences and though the food is usually good and coffee great, the price point and lack of service for seated guests makes it somewhere I will no longer recommend or stop in at.
