Wren Cafe - The Most Gorgeous Brunch Spot in Downtown Vancouver! ☀️
With Vancouver's weather getting nicer by the day, what better way to spend a day off than soaking up some sun and indulging in a picture-perfect brunch with your girls? 🌸💖 This hidden gem in DT was highly recommended by a coworker (who swore it's a must-try!), and oh boy, did it deliver! 🏆 The cafe is cozy and run by the owner herself—a Le Cordon Bleu graduate—with a chef who previously worked at a five-star hotel! 🧑🍳✨ They just opened a couple of weeks ago, so every dish is crafted with serious attention to detail. Yes, service can be a tad slow during peak hours (they're still finding their rhythm!), but trust me—it’s worth the wait. Perfect for a leisurely brunch or a quick(ish) work lunch! ⏳ Our group of five went all out—here are the standout dishes that had us swooning: 🍝 Fiery Rigatoni + Salmon – For just a few extra bucks, they loaded it with HUGE chunks of salmon! 🐟🔥 Perfectly seasoned, not fishy at all, and surprisingly light. A steal for the portion and quality! 🥐 Smoked Salmon Croissant Sandwich – The golden, flaky croissant + creamy mayo + crisp cucumber = pure textural heaven. The smoked salmon shines without overpowering. 😍 🍳 Tough Love Egg Benedict – My first-ever Benny, and WOW. That perfectly runny yolk spilling over smoked salmon and ham? Chef’s kiss. (Though the ham was a bit salty for me.) 🥪 Chef’s Open-Face Sandwich Trio – Fancy name, even fancier flavors! We tried all five options (because why not?), but the smoked salmon version was the clear winner. 🏆 🍐 Dessert Alert! – Being a Le Cordon Bleu alum, the owner’s pastries are next-level. The "pear" and "lemon" desserts fooled us—they look like real fruit but are actually white chocolate shells filled with mousse and zesty lemon curd! 🍋✨ 📍 Wren Cafe – Where brunch dreams come true. Don’t skip the salmon dishes or desserts! #VancouverBrunch #BrunchGoals #LeCordonBleu #FoodieFinds #DTVancouver #CafeCulture #MustTry #WeekendVibes #YummyInMyTummy
