Cafe Deux Soleils Review

The best veggie burgers in town! Great cultural hotspot.

Wonderful menu and staff. Seems like a local go-to with my friends and family. Vegetarian options abound.

I've been here several times. The food, is like a better version of a greasy spoon diner; while vegetarian, it's not necessarily healthy. If we were in 2010, I'd rate this 5 stars. In 2020 I'd say giving this place 4 stars is pushing it -- though -- I'm still giving it 4 because there are a dearth of vegetarian places.

So delicious, every time, and fun events. One of my fav spots in Vancouver!

Has awesome entertainment. I used to love their reggie night. Vegaterian food is nice too.

A Vancouver classic, affordable meals and great platform for the community. However I hope they would start contact tracing, and I wish them luck controlling the fruit flies. No one cleaned the table next to us between visitors and it wasn't very busy, I can still see the ring from the water glass on the table after second patron left, no one has been around to wipe. Times are tough, I hope they can lift their game in spite of the crunch. Also, please boycott Parallel 49 beer til they improve their treatment of personnel.

Cafe Deux Soleils has been one of my longtime favorites. In the daytime it is kid friendly. I love having brunch here. The food is really yummy and the staff are fun free spirits.

Good vegan burgers. Not much that seems enticing on the vegan side of brunch, but the atmosphere is still really nice and the staff is very friendly.

I visited this cafe a few weeks ago cuz the review was good but it was very unpleasant experience for me. My friend got a hair AND a small fly in her food but she didn t have a chance to complain cuz no one was around even tho it was not busy at all.
I ordered something which comes with cheese but it didn t, so I asked for it and the guys working there accused me of not recognizing it. And then he just gave me unmelted shredded cheese lol . It s supposed to be melted on my bread or egg idk. And he said I don t know whether it has no cheese or I m high Well.....

Pros:

Food is decent, coffee is not bad either.

Cons:

Beer options are sub par.
Obnoxiously loud and because the windows are wide open, this bleeds out into the street. It is so bad that I can very clearly hear this place at night from my house at the end of 5th (at Woodland).
Worst of all, however, is the typeface they use for their logo/name. It is abhorrent and makes me die inside.

Summary: this would be a one-star review had I not been dragged here to see out of town friends and discovered that their breakfast offering is pretty okay.

Great place. Good food and awesome live music when we were there!

One of the best spots in van just to pop in or to plan a whole show

Good food but long waits in line to order food. Slow counter staff.

5 stars for consistency and fast service because some things should never change. Best quick vegetarian food in Vancouver and super great cheap breakfast. My family lives in Maple Ridge, but we spend a lot of time commuting between home and East Vancouver and this is always our go-to for breakfast if we are in the area.

Food is good and very comfy and casual place to chill. I chatted with my gf for more than 2 hrs, staff did not rush us to leave. It's a very self serve environment.

Amazing spot for kids! Has the best muffins and is just a super fun vibe

Amazing Tuesday improv night. Superbe atmosphere and great drinks. I highly recommend coming to one of the events they offer.

Yummy burgers. Love the Mexi burger and fried potatoes.

One of the worst breakfast experiences I've ever had. Had to stand in line to order food. I was with my friend but we wanted to pay separately so we ordered separately. The lady that helped us asked me if we were together though and I said yes. We both got our drinks straight away. It was quite busy so it took a while but than my friend's food came. Mine didn't come, so I told her to start eating. After 10 minutes I went up to ask and the server just said that it was very busy and that I should wait. Apart from the obvious (I could see that it was busy) she was extremely rude, did not want to hear my story (people that ordered after us were getting food) nor did she even want to check it. After my friend finished her food (!!) we finally could get the attention of one of the servers again and tried to tell the story again. She went over to check it but didn't tell us what was going on.... So we waited again. After we waited for almost an hour (from when we got there) I stood up and was about to walk to the counter to ask for my money back. Of course that was the exact moment my food was brought over. The server did not apologize, explain the situation or get me any compensation. Forgetting about an order is one thing but the rudeness and service was one or the worst I've ever come across.

A great place with a community vibe. The food is always awesome and homey, with big portions, and the service is great with genuinely friendly faces.

They host a ton of community events, so make sure to check one out!!

Brought in other's from out of town for brunch including gluten intolerance individuals. Everyone had great food and great atmosphere!

Cool vibes, they had some live music playing when we went. The food is pretty good, but it's vegetarian/vegan which I didn't know until later. So if you're a meat lover, this might not be your jam. They have neat art on the walls, and it's overall a nice place if you want to study, get some work done, or see some local music, improv, or slam poetry.

A great live performance scene, especially tonight, with the open mic poetry, poetry slam, and feature poet performer!!! Yaaaaayyyy!!!

I like this place. I find the food very satisfying despite being a vegetarian restaurant. The prices are fair too

Cool cafe spot with a great vibe. The breakfast was delicious and the service was great too. I had the Veggie Hash and Eggs spicy and it was delicious

Great food. So many options. The place is chill and has many different events. You're bound to find something you want to do/watch and then you can eat amazing food while doing it.

Veggie and vegan wonderland. Charming and delicious. A must for me every visit to Vancouver.

Great place to relax in the evening! Hilarious improv shows every Tuesday night!

This was a really solid breakfast! The Hollandaise was creamy, rich and delicious with the scrambled eggs. Would ve liked to have more spinach but that s just me being picky.

Atmosphere is not bad. However after a couple of hours there we all walked out smelling like grease... Perhaps better ventilation is needed

Beautiful open space with tasty affordable meals or snacks. Often quite loud. Offers entertainment space for young children. Good community gathering space.

Friendly service, good atmosphere, cool ambiance and good location; yet the omelet I ordered could have been a bit better.

Friendly service, good food decent prices, but a little shabby.

Great vibes, excellent events during the week, friendly staff and great service

Wonderful breakfasts. Good coffee. Fun and friendly ambiance.

Reliable fresh vegetarian food. Great service and selection of veg goodness. Nice array of taps too!

Decent hummus, if a little garlicky. Wontons were kind of soggy and flavorless, peanut sauce served with them was pretty bad. Edamame was soaking in sesame oil and inadequately salted.

10/10 sangria though. Super mellow atmosphere. Live entertainment.

Come here thirsty, not hungry.

Prices are really great and service has gotten faster lately. It takes way longer to get your turn to order than it does to actually get your food. Some of the food is GREAT (the muffins on the counter are always fantastic, and the bread they use is sooo good) and some notsomuch (the soup almost always sucks, and the tofu scramble is like 20 years behind current tofu scramble technology).

Great place to see some live performance arts and have a pint.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food and drinks. Always enjoy the events here.

This place is great if you're looking for a super relaxed cafe atmosphere. Relaxed as in casual, it's quite busy on the weekends when we've been there because the all vegetarian fare is awesome!

Went to hear a band play and decided to have dessert. So good!

Colourful, bustling place with a progressive feel where you can get tasty vegetarian food.

Come for the kid pit, or children's thunder dome, or honestly just to join in with other parents having a beer while watching their kids out of the corner of their eye. Good beers on tap and tasty food options for adults and kids.

This place serves up amazing vegetarian and vegan food. The best of the drive. MUST GO!

They need to clean their tables.. Those were so sticky and I found them unhygienic..

Great good and good atmosphere. Loved their burger. An authentic commercial drive experience.

Been coming here for years.... my go to has always been Tofu Scramble. Delicious.
Hadn t been here for at least a year and today I ordered it and the dish is 75% potatoes and a few bites of tofu/veggies. Still delicious but pretty disappointing proportions. :-(
(Should really be listed as hash browns with a side of tofu scramble).

Always amazing food and excellent service. It's one of my go to places for sure.

Makes me feel like I'm in college no matter how old I get.

Neighborhood vegan Paradise! Brunch happily with your friends and leave with a full belly. Very kind and dedicated staff here. Lots of character at this joint.

It's a good place to grab a quick and relatively affordable bite. They only offer vegetarian meals, but there's plenty to choose from. We came there for brunch, and the food was delicious, but the potatoes felt like they were warmed up, and some things on the plate arrived colder than one would want, so not quite there. For the most part, the food was seasoned well. They were also out of peanut butter that morning, which I felt was quite strange for a place that specializes in breakfast. Overall though, it was pretty good.

I had reservations for 3 via Eventbrite for the Story Telling with Drag Queens. We were turned away at the door due to over capacity. The person at the door claimed he didn't know anything about such reservations but did mention one other person had a similar reservation. Even though I had a confirmation email to prove my reservation we were not allowed in the venue. Very disappointed and confused.

Such a cute little spot with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Music, comedy and poetry shows happen regularly here, definitely worth stopping in and watching one. Extensive vegetarian menu with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options.

I had a great time there, I love that they make all kinds of events and that they are not just like other restaurants, but its a place where alternative people can come and hangout without ending up in problems.

The food is fantastic, and the prices are more than reasonable. Portions are big too.
Service is friendly and attentive.
Live music, stand up, etc always made this place pop, and I am excited for this aspect to return after Covid!
The safety measures taken right now are pretty good too. I do wish to see some marker of a sanitized/unsanitized table since it is hard to tell if a table is cleaned before you pick where to sit.

Good environment and setting. Good food but I cant give it 5 stars because it wasn't special tbh
