Heidi's Cafe

After being on the road for the past month, Vancouver seems like such a small and familiar place. That being said, there's still plenty of new breakfasts to be discovered in this city! Within a week of returning, Kimmy invited me out for some breakfast at a little place that she's mentioned before. Located around Fraser Street and East 43 Avenue (5945 Fraser Street), Heidi's Cafe has an interesting setup. The majority of the place is a cafe/coffee bar, while the front corner is a convenience store. Strange, no? Kimmy and I found it interesting, and couldn't really come up with a good reason for there to be a convenience store inside of a cafe. Maybe the building was owned by the parents and the kids took it over? I don't know!

Anywho, due to Heidi's being more of a coffee bar, we went up to the counter to order our food and drinks. I decided upon a standard eggs/meat/toast kind of breakfast and a coffee, while Kimmy chose an omelette and a coffee, as well. The total came out to about $15, so you really couldn't complain about that part. We chose a table right by the window and sat down. The interior was very bright and clean, and the music was at a pleasant level, as well. It was less than 10 minutes before our food arrived...


The food looked and smelled quite lovely. Kimmy maintained that the hash browns were the best that she'd ever come across. They were pretty good, but I don't know if I'd say that they were the best. The rest of the food was also quite good. Nothing too special, but it wasn't bad either. I finished my plate and was full, so I'd consider it a win. The coffee was also really tasty. I'd give Heidi's Cafe 3 Bacons for affordability'/food quality and 3 Bacons for service.

Stay sharp, kids
