Echo Cafe & Brunch

Picked up a Too Good To Go bag from Echo (6 items for $4.99 plus tax). We found it unusual to be charged taxes at 12%, while most food establishments only charge 5% GST (or even no GST if you receive 6 or more items). Anyways, we received good value with 2 mini loaves, 2 peanut butter power balls, and 2 cookies. The power balls were as expected - dense, but tasty with a defined peanut butter flavour throughout. The cookies were average. The cake was rather dry, but nothing a quick spin in the microwave can't fix! Echo has lots of lunch and dessert options, including some vegan items. Location is close to Lions Gate Hospital with a spacious interior.

I didn’t like their poor hospital service. I wanted to order something that I had not tried before. Bartender realized that this is my first time ordering Italiano! But they even didn’t bother themselves to describe it. Also, as a coffee shop there were bright lights. It did not feel cozy for me.

I loved Echo Cafe! The place looks cool and feels welcoming. We wetried the Persian omelette and avocado toast, both were amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot to eat, chill, and work! Highly recommend!

Best customer service and OMG coffees and Almond croissants next level toooooo Goood love it

Went here for coffee with a friend. The coffee and a peach spritz we got were not good. Maybe the food is great, but we didn’t try it. Decor is kinda odd but the vibe is cute. Wouldn’t come back for coffee but I’m intrigued by the food.

The peach spritz didn’t really taste like peach, it was mostly iced water with a slight orange color. My coffee (peppermint mocha) was too watery, didn’t taste much like coffee or mint or chocolate.

Love love love this place! Rosy helped me today and she is so nice. There is a wide variety of herbal tea, coffee, hot drinks and smoothies. The bunches all look amazing, and the croissant I’ve tasted was sooooo good definitely would recommend

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Friendly experienced owner with professional team ️
Best taste of breakfast, brushes and coffee?
Cozy atmosphere which recently renovated
PLEASE DON’T CARE ABOUT NEGATIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEK OF DESTROYING THIS KIND BUSINESS

I was there two month ago. 5 bucks for a simple coffee. I’d rather go Tim Horton two blocks away and drink 5 of those.

My friend got me a coffee from here but I couldn’t tell her how bad it was. Just asked the cafe name to inform others about the quality.

Service was friendly and the interior is cute however my chai latte was unsweetened and not very good and the avocado toast I got was very dry and plain and the avocados weren’t ripe either.

The quality is not reasonable based on the prices, and the sandwich I ordered smelled bad.

Needed breakfast prior of working out. Found this place with unique wall art.

Coffee was beautifully done with art, and taste was magnificent.

Very peaceful dine in experience. Would definitely return if I am in the area.

Fully energized when working out.

I would like to recommend this beautiful cafe for their hospitality and warm welcoming, bunch of Iranian Mashhadian friends, and I had a gathering here on Sundays it was a pleasure time.

The staff are really friendly, the foods are delicious with appropriate prices! I also love the atmosphere of the cafe!

Outstanding experience, everything tasted delicious and fresh from pastries to the items on the breakfast menu. The staff and management are attentive and kind.

‎‏I was completely disappointed when I ordered several drinks but every coffee and hot beverage I got was nothing like what it should be. I ordered chai latte, what I got was nothing like chai latte and instead they gave me chai masala with vanilla syrup‍️ Also, when I ordered a triple shot espresso latte they put vanilla and caramel syrups in it without asking me I was vomiting until the end of the night. It is completely disappointing that the cafe with high quality in the past has now reached this low quality.

Lovely coffee. 100% Arabica. Coffee people will know what I’m talking about. Only 1 star off for the prices. $3.99 for a very flat cookie or for a small peanut butter ball? That’s not cheap.

Great customer service, staff is so friendly and nice. Best matcha latte I've ever had (hot or iced). Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Had breakfast here. So yummy! It's nice an quiet and the Almond croissant is fabulous.

Best place in north van! Rosie (the owner) definitely takes care of all her guests that come in. Try the vegan wrap! It’s delicious:)

A cozy, neat and quiet cafe, specifically for all purpose appointments.
Good services, professional staff and high quality coffee and drinks.

Coffee quality is delicious. Peppermint mocha very nicely flavoured. Banana bread croissant was AMAZING, sandwich was good quality (I loved they did NOT warm the lettuce when grilling, they added it back after). Only thing that fell short was their chocolates.the filling is very flavourable, but the chocolate shell tasted like nothing and felt like very subpar quality. Recommend everything except those so far, will be back if in the area again.

Lots of Great pastries, So many Fresh options, amazing selection of baked goods, delicious coffee, great service and clean space, A place with self respect!

Friendly staff, great food and coffee, love that they’re open late! Perfect for university students who need a cute place to study.

Crossant was fresh, not super tasty. Hot chocolate tasted like cocoa milk with sugar, I didn’t like it. Ambience is okay, super specious, suitable for big gathering. Good choice for people who want to work or study. You can play mafia with bunch of Persian people in this cafe weekends nights. Staff are nice and helpful

I went to the cafe for evening tea and the pastry were tasty and great.also the good point about the cafe is the cozy atmosphere and the staff are very warm and friendly.
I highly recommend.

Friendly staff, good food and cozy atmosphere. The wait time was ok and will definitely go back again. Keep up the good work guys.

Stopped in by chance and was blown away by the incredible food and laid back atmosphere. We had the English breakfast and the echo plate and my goodness. The bacon wrapped chicken, the cheesy potatoes, the salad, the passionfruit jam, the coffee, and everything else was awesome. We will definitely be back.

I visited your restaurant today and ordered the English breakfast which costed 25$. I sat at my seat for 30 minutes and still no sign of any breakfast or any of the staff coming to explain the wait so I went to the counter and explained I had been waiting 30 minutes and got the response of “oh you still haven’t got it, I’ll go check” then 5 minutes afterwards they called out my breakfast and I picked up from the counter where the staff member laughed then said to me “sorry about the wait there’s a problem in the kitchen”. While I sat back down another customer at a table beside me then cancelled his order and got a refund and left as he realized how long I had been waiting. My breakfast was no where near worth 25$, beans were microwaved and wasn’t fully warm. No one approached me after receiving the breakfast to ask me was it ok only when I looked up to the counter a staff member done a gesture and put her thumbs up as if to ask was it ok. Then afterwards I spoke with the ‘manager’ and explained how I felt about the breakfast etc when all she responded was “sorry there was a problem in the kitchen” no compensation was offered for the issue. I then asked for this email address to speak with the owner and no more was said to me.

I was very disappointed with my service as with any issue I had to approach staff members when they should be the ones approaching me if they are experiencing issues in the kitchen etc.

Also there was approximately 6 other customers at this time all of which were coffee orders so not as though it was busy.

I Would not recommend here for breakfast or lunch as it most definitely is not worth the money or your time
