I have been going to this establishment since April 2017, on a near at least once a week basis. It is by far my favourite 'reasonably priced' restaurant in Vancouver. The food is excellent, the staff are all friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to asking "whats good?" I have never once had an issue with my food, the entire 4 years I have been coming here. Exceptional service and food at a reasonable price for the quality. PS. please keep the summer rain cold pressed juice in stock more, its my favourite

Great location, excellent soup, polite and friendly staff. I've been to both locations and they are both very good. Going to be my new regular restaurant when I'm downtown.

Drove past many times. Didn’t know they served food. Soup and sandwich combo is the bomb. Staff is super friendly and gave us recommendations! Try the turkey or chicken sandwiches! French onion and chicken noodle soup! Nice patio too

Ordered via Uber Eats: Everything was exactly what we needed and wanted. Thank you for bringing back the simplicity and charm of a proper soup-and-salad joint. I'm excited to try your quiche and pot pies on our next order. Thanks again for the perfect weekend meal to battle our post-booster blues.

I eat here at least once a week, usually 2-3 times. The salads are fantastic and have, in fact, ruined all other salads for me... sorry every-other-restaurant... Sandwiches are great, the beef dip is a guilty pleasure (only available as a special). Staff are relaxed, friendly and highly competent. Eat here. You won't regret it.
