My sister and I went here for breakfast recently on a cold winter day. The comfortable and warm atmosphere was extremely welcoming. I got the turkey omelet with potatoes and toast; it was the best breakfast and the potatoes were amazing, super crispy and fresh. My sister got the pancakes with bacon and sausage; the pancakes were huge! 3 big pancakes with syrup and whip cream. Yummmy! Definitely will be coming back to this great restaurant with welcoming service.

Very tasteful yet simple decor, with a unique blend of Asian and American food offered. The owners were welcoming and informative and the service was impeccable. Very knowledgeable about tea and infusion, do take the time to talk about what they have to offer, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful presentation as well. Every plate was a statement of grace and care. An almost Zen approach to food service and honestly a surprise to find in Vancouver, which, although we love it here, is not exactly used to this kind of delicate East West fusion.

One of the nicest places I've eaten at in ages.

Award Nomination: Best Service

We have been going to the CT for over a year now. My husband is really a fan of the Asian BBQ Pork (as am I). We have tried a number of items from the menu for all three meals. We haven't had anything that wasn't really good. The atmosphere is great, very quiet and relaxing. The owners who also serve are wonderful people and they make you feel comfortable and welcome. I would recommend anyone to try this restaurant.

I was desperate for a breakfast place for mother's day this past year. I had waited too long to get a reasonable time slot at one of the more popular breakfast restaurants and didn't want to spend $25+ a person for a brunch. I checked out other restaurants in the vancouver area and saw the good reviews.
We were able to get a table when we wanted on a very popular day of the year for eating out, the owner came to our table and made herself known and was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our delightful breakast and they had a good kids menu as well! The coffee was perfect (could have offered refills more often) but overall was very excited about CT Cafe.
We also were excited because they have asian food options. My husband is from Singapore and so asian cuisine is a plus in our home, especially when it is companioned to American cuisine. We like both in our home, so we also treated ourselves to a bubble tea after our breakfast.
I can't wait to go back and am looking into having some girlfriends meet up for a "tea date" one of these days. They make their own pastries and have a variety of teas. I was told they have tea times on Friday afternoons and Saturday's, so we'll see what that is about.
The other plus....it was a clean facility. That makes mom happy :)
I highly recomment CT Cafe and think its a great place to support our local businesses in the Vancouver area.

I checked the rating before I went to CT Cafe Grill & Tea. What a surpise, they even has Chinese breakfast items. My husband order 2 eggs with pancake and ham. He loved the way they cooked the eggs, and the ham is very good (the real one). I got the fried potato, chinese donut, sesame ball, and green onion crisp. They are very good and reasonable price. We love the setting. It's clean and roomy. I am going to check out their lunch and dinner later. They got a very interesting Chinese dishes section.

I'm a Foodie who just came back from breakfast at CT Cafe and Grill. I had the Eggs Bennedict with the house smoked ham. It was very good. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to eat it or roll in it! The potatoes were golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside without being greasy. Done properly. I read all the reviews on this site before going and would have to agree with their assesments...with one notable exception...the nut-job who eats in his bathroom. Don't take my word for it, just go there and try it. You won't be disapointed.

Great little restaurant!! I have eaten there many times and I love it. There omletes are great they are huge and full of yummy goodness!
I love drinking the coffee or a mimosa with my hubby on a Sunday morning.
I have been going in for breakfast for many months now and love the friendly and personal service. I always feel welcomed by my server and the owner.
I love that there is somewhere to eat breakfast that isn't IHOP or shari's in this neighborhood of Vancouver.

The worst food I have ever tasted. I would have been better served putting milk and cheerio's in a bowl. The place is dirty and the service is worse. Eat here if you want to get sick. I find better smells in my bathroom and better food in my garbage.

The breakfast here is great, classic breakfast choices and a few inventive ones. I had the delicious eggs bennidict with fried potatoes. The owner and staff are wonderful people who take the time out to say hello. The atmosphere is quiet and good for conversation. Breakfast only on weekend from 8am until 2:30pm for early and late risers. I am looking forward to trying lunch and dinner
