Just join the lineup outside the door when you get here, they don't take your name down, but the wait goes surprisingly fast! Get the berries to top your pancakes or try the veggie deluxe burger!

The atmosphere here is so fun, it's brings you back to your childhood with all the old memories on the walls. The food is so delicious. We had the best veggie burger we have ever had.

This diner has been here for years and is well worth the trip out of downtown, especially if you're visiting Granville Island. It's a fun and colorful diner with all the usual diner fare.

The Deluxe Veggie Omelet is amazing and worth the price tag as you get so much food. Upgrade to gluten free toast and a salad instead of home fries for a lighter option.

I adore going here for a late and lazy brunch. It is exactly what you want from an all-day breakfast dinner: booths for two's and four's. I always have a milkshake. Worth the short wait if it's busy.

I love to go to Sophie's whenever I am in town. I have taken traveling co-workers there and they ask me if I go every time I travel to Vancouver. The breakfasts are great and the pies are amazing!

They don't joke around when it comes to portions. The monster Fourth Avenue Lumberjack Breakfast won't leave you hungry!
AnikaSeptember 18, 2014
Best breakfast ive had on my whole trip, and ive been here 1 month! Love the decor of the place and there is so much to choose from on the menu! You do need to go on a weekend sometimes, but worth it

Casual, friendly, good casual grub but delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. great to have a server actually enjoying their job! Kooky decor is tacky but a fun conversation piece while you wait.

Having heard about this spot from many people we finally made it here for breakfast on a recent visit. Sophie's is a kitschy, unique experience with cool decor, friendly prompt service and good food.

Had the apple pie and a chocolate milkshake for a appy. Daughter had French toast. I had a western. Daughter said it was the best French toast and milk shake she has ever had and we travel quite a bit

This cafe has been around for years and is definitely a go-to place. This place is the memorabilia, give or take! There's so much to look at. It's suited to families, groups of friends and couples.

Come here for brunch whenever I have the time, the portions are pretty large and the food is tasty. Sunday morning mimosa's are a must! The atmosphere is good, and the decorations are awesome
MadonnaAugust 14, 2015
Everything about our lunch here was lovely. Great waitress! Friendly and attentive without being intrusive, ready with advice on the menu, and didn't skip a beat when I asked for gluten free toast
KristiMarch 10, 2016
Super friendly quick service. Our orders came quickly. My friend had Eggs Benny and they looked abundant and authentic I had a regular style breakfast which came with heaps of toast and pan fries
C. RayesSeptember 4, 2015
Nut Burger. Best Vegetarian burger I have tasted EVER. It's so good I want to cry on Jesus's shoulder. The texture is hea-v-enly and the chutney is perfect-t-o and the fries were finga-lickin-amazing.
TristanJuly 9, 2015
I ate here today for the first time and really enjoyed it! The service was really friendly and I was impressed with the speed that the food came out. I had the eggs Benny with hollandaise on the side
Ran DeetAugust 27, 2015
They have the usual big choice of all things breakfast, from Waffles, Pancakes and French Toast to Omelets, Bennys, Salads and Burgers. Everything we ordered so far is great tasting
Tha LiersJune 11, 2015
We come here every time we are visiting Vancouver. The restaurant has a lot of kitschy items as their decor. Their breakfast are always delicious and filling. The service is always good.
Arash NarchiJuly 2, 2015
Santa Fe Benny was awesome! The vibe of this place is great and everyone is fun and friendly. If you're lucky you can meet Sophie as well, she's been running the place since 1988
BellFebruary 11, 2016
Very friendly service, all kind of breakfast, large plates, suitable for sunday brunches, good location, you can walk to seaside in minutes after eating so much. Nostalgic decoration. HAVE FUN!
Delora SubranOctober 2, 2015
First of all, they serve you gigantic portions of pancakes, waffles, falafel, bennys and well, you name it. Everything was tasty enough, and there was so much of it. Service was excellent
Red RSeptember 25, 2015
Saw the lineup out the door earlier in the day and went back for breakfast in the afternoon. Good value, solid 3 egg breakfast, and the funky knick-knack decor can keep you entertained.
B WestJune 26, 2014
The food in this place is HUGE and seriously tasty, seriously good quality burger and delicious fries.Was pretty good value, plus you get to sit surrounded by crazy decor and fascinating artwork.
Ada JuristovskiOctober 22, 2014
Best for brunch, but expect a line. "The best place to start your diet, the best place to end your diet" - Everything from egg-white omelettes to chocolate milkshakes.
Chong VDecember 16, 2013
I love this place - every time I visit Vancouver I try to make Sophies My first food stop. Cosmic workout burger with fries, salad and a side of black beans is a certain cure for jet-lag.
RachelDecember 7, 2015
I always enjoy going to Sophie's for an experience that's hard to find anywhere else, old fashion fusion good food, my favorite is the apple pie with ice cream.
Julia SufieldFebruary 13, 2015
By far the best breakfast place in Vancouver and the best benny for sure. Try the hot sauce with your meal it will make a difference. My family loves coming to Sophie's
Biker BJune 4, 2015
I always make the time to go to Sophie's when in the area. It feels like home to me. Kitschy decor with home-style food. Huge line ups for weekend breakfast/brunch.
JanayAugust 21, 2014
tried out their breakfast menu. Were disappointed, I ordered the waffles with bacon and syrup, the bacon was perfectly cooked and the waffles were delicious, and the portion was enormous, 4 waffles!
Alise BApril 22, 2014
My favorite greasy spoon breakfast joint in Vancouver. Outrageous decor, delicious North American and Tex-Mex breakfast dishes. If you come on the weekend, expect to wait for a while!
Nina DahlDecember 2, 2016
Adorable kitsch little cafe with tonnes of charm. Great all day breakfast menu. I highly recommend the buttermilk pancakes.
Shanikaa SJanuary 23, 2015
Wonderful fresh well prepared food. I could have lunch at breakfast - not a breakfast person. We always buy bottles of Sophie's hot sauce to last us until our next Vancouver visit.
ArianaFebruary 24, 2015
I'd heard good things about the breakfast at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe. Portions size was excellent with a good price. Friendly staff and the cafe is decorated crazily, an attraction alone.
Emmy RoaryNovember 14, 2014
Love the Santa Fe Eggs Benny. My fave breakfast here! It's a must try for any Eggs Benny fan! Instead of the typical English muffin it's replaced with a yummy cornbread
mysweetgirlNovember 10, 2015
Egg dishes, egg-white-only choices, pancakes, are all on the menu. Sophie's is open for lunch and dinner, as well, but it really stands out as a great breakfast place.
Vista LMarch 25, 2014
Met friends for breakfast here on my first trip to Vancouver. I ordered the waffles and they were malty deliciousness! Huge portions. Fairly pricy place, but the food was wonderful.
KarenJanuary 15, 2015
I loved today's breakfast...mmmmm,, eggs benny... Sophie makes her own in house hot sause and my mouth is still watering... perfect eggs and the fresh vanilla milkshake shook my hangover right off !!!
Rob HadleyOctober 16, 2014
At last! Somewhere you can ask for bacon, sausage and egg and they don't insist you have a pancake or make it into something it's not. You gotta try this! It's like real food!
Autumn F.February 19, 2016
Always love going to Sophies café...as soon as you walk in your walking back into the 1950s ...always busy always good food...and always good servers....whats not to love
AureliaOctober 16, 2014
Were surprised by quality of food We both had steak and it was cooked to order perfectly, 2nd night we looked in again and my wife tried the meatloaf and said it was very good
Frida HJuly 10, 2014
I had a wonderful meal here my last day in Vancouver. I appreciated the fact that both the breakfast menu and the lunch menu were available at 10:15. Not to be missed!
Mistie DJuly 17, 2014
Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe has been on my list for a while and I was finally able to come check it out. I liked that they used big chunks of real roasted turkey for the sandwich instead of deli meat
happy camperFebruary 26, 2014
This funky little diner on 4th is fast, friendly with great food and a relaxed atmosphere. We like to go there for a hearty breakfast sometimes and sit on the patio.
R. G.August 7, 2014
When the sign inside said they had the best milkshakes, they weren't kidding. They were excellent. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was fun and you can spend some time looking at the walls.
Chassidy SJuly 16, 2015
The terrace is nice in good weather if you don't mind the street noise. Inside there are a lot of nostalgic posters and photos on the walls from the hippie era in Vancouver when 4th Ave.
Jax L.May 17, 2016
They have omelettes and different egg dishes and pancakes, too. The food is quite nice and they also have healthier options in case you want to watch your calories
ElsieJune 16, 2016
The atmosphere is a retro style greasy spoon diner decorated with old memorabilia which works well with this cafe's distinct character. The servers and regulars are chatty and friendly.
FayJuly 28, 2016
Great food served by friendly waitresses. Very old Kits style. Large servings. It's a diner style restaurant with lots to look at on the walls and in every corner.
Bryce CampbellFebruary 14, 2015
Eggs Benedict is, so far, one of the better ones I've had in Vancouver. In addition, they have additional menu options for those needing vegan or vegetarian.
