i can’t believe i lived this long without coming here! the vibe is so incredible and everything is so cute. Such a classic diner omg! We got the silly slam, shrimp melt, and monte cristo. also a milkshake. Apparently the shrimp melt was really good.
In a city so excited to be gentrified and commercialized with restaurants and cafes that specialize Door Dash orders and mundane uninspiring food and decor - Five Corners Cafe represents a beautifully simple, yet captivating dining experience that has slowly been fading away from the place I have called home my whole life. The Lower Mainland has unfortunately become a victim to incredibly ugly, boring property and business expansion. However, there are a few special small businesses and restaurants left that give you that sense of that beautifully cozy, mundane and special nirvana that you used to feel when you would go out for a cup of coffee. The beauty of the mundane. Five Corners has that. From the moment I walked by and went inside, the feeling of history and sincere character was immediate. Very reminiscent of John’s Place in Victoria, Five Corners invokes the desire to share stories, discussions and experiences with someone over a cup of coffee and breakfast, but being surrounded by art and gadgets of old. Surrounded by history. Something so mundane and simple, but yet a beautiful experience I sincerely desire and miss. Something that I would have to go to Bons off Broadway for in Vancouver, or Fresgo’s in Surrey, before its unfortunate ownership changeover. The food is not five-star, nor does it claim to be. My burger was slightly burnt, fries were classic diner fries, and the coffee hit the perfect spot. Go to Five Corners with your friends in the morning for breakfast. Bring cash. Go by yourself and bring a book. Just go there. Support your local businesses that support their history, and admire what the soul of a restaurant really is. Thank you, Five Corners for the most pleasant surprise.
Went with my mom who was in from out of province. Was quite busy, but in spite of that the sound was not overwhelming. Less then 5 minutes to be seated, and they let us swap to a booth when it opened up. I had eggs Benny, 10/10 would order again. No issue with parking, and we were there on a farmers market day, they didn't mind us parking as we checked out the market up the road. Also let me hit their washrooms when we came back. Would recommend, would come back.
