Must-Try Brunch Spots in Coquitlam

Brunch is their Specialty

Jimmy’s Place: Nothing beats rolling out of bed and making your way for a hearty brunch that will set you up for the day. This North Road eatery calls itself a “breakfast and café restaurant,” which means they have just the type of meals your mouth craves on a lazy weekend. Take out or dine-in service only.

Kook’s Cooks: This place takes brunch seriously. Their menu features your must-have items, from omelettes, frittata or breakfast burritos to burgers, grilled cheese and kids’ menu items. They call themselves the “neighbourhood brunch restaurant” and you’ll find them in Austin Heights. Patio service available.

Morning Tide Eatery: How about Bennys, breakfast bowls and even breakfast pasta? The menu here is fantastic, not to mention their amazing selection of smoothies. They’re located on Schoolhouse, in Coquitlam’s entertainment district, surrounded by great shopping. Take out or dine-in service only.

For Fun with the Family

ABC County Restaurant: Hungry? The Roughneck Platter is big enough to feed a lumberjack. Looking for something a little lighter? The Spinach, Feta & Tomato Omelet is one of our fav’s. At ABC on Schoolhouse Street, the menu is large, as are the portions. Take out or dine-in service only.

C-Market Coffee, Roastery + Kitchen: Check out the Chicken Waffle or their trio of benny’s – the Seoul Benny, the Schoolhouse Benny or the Scandinavian Benny. Patio service available.

Café Hashtag: What do you get when you combine a croissant and a waffle? A CroWaffle of course! Combine it with syrup, eggs, fruit or any number of toppings or take it to go on a stick. Take out or dine-in service only.

Cora Coquitlam: Cora has more than 100 menu ideas, but what they’re probably best known for is the delicious servings of fruit featured with almost every dish. It’s fresh, artful and colourful, located in City Centre. Take out or dine-in service only.

Coquitlam Grill: Their all-day breakfast options are insanely tempting, from the Warm Cinnamon Bun Breakfast (served with eggs, hash browns and bacon or sausage) to Steak and Eggs or a range of Bennys. This is hearty weekend food for the whole family, located in City Centre. Take out or dine-in service only.

Denny’s: They serve breakfast all day, so there’s never a rush to arrive. Favourites include the Build Your Own Grand Slam, Moons Over My Hammy, Sizzlin’ Skillets and their milkshakes (no, it’s never too early for ice cream). Take out or dine-in service only.

Miracle Waffle and Miracle Sandi Egg: Located in City Centre, offering up Belgian style waffles with all the fixings. However, what is really all the rage is their Sandi Egg aka Korean Egg Drop sandwich. You have to see it to believe it. Take out or dine-in service only.

Ricky’s All Day Coquitlam: Serving breakfast until 4:00pm and lunch starting at 11:00am, you can time it just right to hit up all the menu favourites for everyone in your family. Take out or dine-in service only.
