Ovaltine Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

wonderful experience! This cafe is turely a piece of Vancouver history. You should come over and talk to the owner Grace, you will be surprised by all the stories and nice people around despite it's located at downtown eastside.

It’s a gem of a location for finding some respite from the chaotic life. The waiter was exceptional at her job. She made sure that we got everything that we needed, she actually took care of us. Right before heading out I made a point of mentioning that it was ... my birthday and that her hospitality was exceptional. She gifted me a Post-card! One of the best experiences ever! Read more

I loved the place! Is the first time I visited and will not be the unique. Good portions in food, the staff is awesome and they serve your order immediately. The strawberry milkshake is a blast! The place is super iconic and north american classic, the music man! Rush was ... playing while I arrived . Sadly looks abandoned because is in old Vancouver zone surrounded by homeless people but this not dismiss it value, I would love to see oldie Vancouver and its historical places better worthy Read more

Funky relaxing atmosphere. Museum of Coca Cola bottles. Movie star posters. Music was calm. Great clubhouse sandwich with fries. $15. Free coffee refills, very good float. Now open later: till 6pm.

A little different than the last time...about 5 years ago...the place was remarkable then. Now, it's just another east side greasy spoon, with prices too high for what you get. Service started out being good with a cheery waitress anxious to please me. That ended about 20 minutes later, with the arrival of ... my tepid bacon and eggs...2 greasy strips of paper thin bacon, a couple eggs, and a mound of spuds along with 2 slices of generic toast, too cold to allow the margarine to melt. The coffee was almost undrinkable...old urn or something. Maybe I'll try it on another 5 years. Read more
