Welcome to The Hard Bean Brunch Co. Waterfront

“ DT location, beautiful views, and such a boujie aesthetic — the view alone is worth it. The food is super affordable (people think it’s just breakfast, but there’s so much other yummy stuff).. hand held food .. just everything yummy. Service was on point — our waitress was completely on the ball. Fresh, affordable food that you’d honestly expect to be way more expensive. I got a huge breakfast platter because I love breakfast and I’m so grateful they open early — I came in at 6:30. 3 blueberry sausages, 3 bacon strips, crispy seasoned potatoes with green onion (mmm), sourdough bread, and two pancakes — all for $29. Anywhere else this would’ve been taxed way higher. Definitely coming back! ”

“ We had The basic Veggie brunch with Geunine coffee. We enjoyed both of the food items. Lee was very nice and well behaved. She helped us selecting the right options for the food. Its a must go if you are close to downtown and hungry for a BRUNCH!! ”

“ The restaurant’s decor makes it feel like a hotel lobby, not sure if that’s what they were going for. A lot of the seating are couches which gave off that hotel lobby vibe. The espresso liquor flight was a strange concoction because there wasn’t a whole lot of liquid to drink as each small glass was filled with ice cubes, so the drink was extremely watery and very difficult to drink without spilling everywhere. It was served with each glass already sitting in a puddle of liquid. Messy! The food was pretty good though and both the chicken sandwich and the burger were yummy. The hash browns were basically just roasted potatoes. ”

“ Dined in for breakfast with my family, including 2 young children. They enjoyed the Kid’s Rise and Shine and the Brûlée Banana French Toast. The Yorkshire Benny with avocado was decent, but I personally prefer a less acidic hollandaise. The service was very friendly and helpful. ”

“ It’s a great spot close to the water to grab a light meal with friends. Ordered their tofu dish, it was tasty. They have two different sections to seat. I recommend it by the window as it’s brighter. ”

“ SUCH a fun brunch menu - things I’d never put together that are insanely good together. i had the waffle wings brown sugary CRISPY crust with Frank’s hot sauce was just out of this world, cant rave enough. i then had the eggs benedict with , it comes on yorkshire pudding instead of english muffins, all SO good, SO clever, SO fun ”

“ I stopped into The Hard Bean Brunch Co. on my trip to Vancouver, and this place surprised me in the best way. I ordered the seafood Benny with herb shrimp on sourdough. The dish hit every mark. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The yolk spilled the moment my fork touched it. The sauce had a smooth, rich finish without feeling heavy. The shrimp carried real flavour, not just seasoning on the surface. The herbs came through with every bite, and the texture stayed tender. The sourdough held the heat and the sauce without going soggy, which says a lot about the quality of the bread and how well the dish is put together. The plate looked good, but the taste was even better. You could tell the kitchen pays attention to detail. Nothing felt rushed. Shereese made the visit even better. She paid attention, checked in at the right times, and carried a calm, warm energy. You never felt like a table number. She made the first visit feel familiar, which isn’t easy in a busy brunch spot. If you’re in Vancouver and want a brunch that’s worth your time, add this place to your list. I’ll be back. ”

“ We were seated in the rather empty section for some reason, even though there was enough space for our party of 2 to be seated in the seemingly more comfortable chairs on the other side of the restaurant. Apart from this, the food was good! We got a pesto salad and the classic egg benedict with some potatoes/ fries on the side. Not the most amazing that I’ve tried but good enough to fill us up after a long morning! Our waiter was very nice, but we had to wait a bit long to get our order down, even though there wasn’t a lot of customers at the time. The vibes were great though! I loved the sign by the washrooms! ”
