A cozy corner of Kits,
going strong since 1989

Cafe Zen has been a Kitsilano favourite for over 35 years — a place where the food is honest, the prices are fair, and you always feel at home. We believe a great meal doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive.

Warm floors, chalkboard specials, and real food made with care. The neighbourhood spot that’s been here through all of it.

Fresh brunch & lunch daily — open 8 AM to 4 PM, seven days a week.

Honest, approachable prices — good food shouldn’t cost a fortune.

1631 Yew St — steps from Kitsilano Beach, heart of the neighbourhood.

What a lovely spot! Cafe Zen offers a variety of nutritious, delicious, and reasonably priced dishes. The staff are warm and friendly. A lovely walk up from the beach — Cafe Zen is worth every visit.

What a find!! Had brunch on Saturday and are we ever happy we got the table. Coffee was excellent, as were my club sandwich and my wife's avocado toast. Highly recommend.

The bun was just perfect and the sauce really delicious. I would put this into the Must Visit category. One of the best brunches I've had in Vancouver.

Fantastic morning spot — get the caesar, you won't regret it. Friendly service, seated quickly on a busy Sunday at noon. Potatoes perfectly cooked. Already planning my next visit.

Never disappoints! Old fashioned eggs, toast, waffles, pancakes, juice and coffee done right. A proper neighbourhood spot that's stayed consistent for years.
