Corner Cafe

If you are looking for a fine dining experience then this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a very cheap old style greasy spoon that does breakfast and lunch just right then come here. The vibe reminds me of the restaurant that used to be run by the 2 nice Chinese guys in Edgemont Village many years ago. Great place. 2 thumbs up.

The outdated décor put me off a bit at first. I have seen this location in some independent movies. I guess their décor is working for them in other aspects. It is a diner, therefore, don’t expect much in terms of culinary expectations. On the flip side I have had diner food on the road that was prepared a bit better. It is run by a kind family. My meal was average but felt at home. Prices were very decent.

Diner you would find along Hwy #1 somewhere in the interior of BC. Well, maybe not quite, but it sure feels like it. I make it a point to search out establishments like these. They make my day.
The last time I tried to come, they were shut because their location was being used for a movie. No so today.
Anyhoo, it’s family run and today it must have been a multi generation running the place. Daughter, mother, aunties, and grandmom.
I certainly didn’t expect anything special special from a greasy spoon like this, and it delivered the vitamin G as expected.
A burger with bacon cheese, mushrooms, and fries — under $ 8
Two piece fish and chips — under $ 8
How can you complain about something like that? Check out the serving size, and you’ll notice it’s very fair sized.
Special mention to the fish and chips. It’s panko crusted. My guy feeling on this is that it is home made. I couldn’t tell if it was frozen or not.
This place fills up like crazy near noon on a weekend, so avoid that time if you come.
If there was one criticism I have, it’s the fries. A bit limp, but I’m not complaining. This place is good for what it is.
I like the décor. There isn’t any. That’s the charm.

That’s for the milkshake, a bit generous too; a bit runny, prefer it thicker… yet i’ll still return next time for the breakfast, after all, it’s a diner…$ 5.99 special, loaded with everything from what i saw others were eating.
Pretty typical family-​run biz…
classic setup, with the long counter seating at the front, kitchen-​tile style flooring, old tables/​chairs. Not here for any marks on décor.
Prob. no wifi lol.
free parking.

This is just my favorite place. That’s all I can really say about it. Everything here clicks for me.
Thanks Grace and David.

I love this place, with its grease spoon style breakfast and the sweet old couple that run it. im a big fan of paces like this, that looks like it hasnt had a renovation at all since it opend a long time ago. it does help that the food is good and cheap.
Well, i can only speak for the breakfast.
Breakfast is my favorite meal and they make it just the way i like it. decent eggs, butterflied safeway sausages, two slices of toast and fried chunked hashbrowns. hashbrowns make and break it for me and they do a great job.
the head server is grace and her husband works the kitchen. he doesnt say much, but she is a sweet woman and makes a point of remembering the names of the regulars.

This place is just ok. The menu is limited to mostly typical breakfast items, and hamburgers/​hot sandwiches. I think I only saw a dozen menu items total. It’s run by a Korean family and the service is fine. Ordered the mushroom cheddar burger with fries. The burger was a little too greasy for my tastes, but the fries, while under-​salted, were crispy. I’ve had better food, but you can’t beat the prices.

This place is the shit!
This is a real classic diner. No, not like the Templeton or ACME café in Gastown. They put this place in probably inthe 70’s and they haven’t changed a single thing including their menu since. Goofy shit on the walls, empty boxes everywhere, one old server, and a bunch of blue collar workers hangin’ out.
I had the breakfast special for $ 5.99, a solid price for 2 eggs, hashbrowns, multi-​grain toast (maybe that’s new) and 3 slices of bacon with a coffee came to $ 10 tip in.
I am giving it 4 stars because I love the small town restaurants that don’t give a shit about their food, they keep their prices low and have a great attitude.
I recommend going.
