Seasons Apple Cafe — Restaurant in Burnaby

I heard a bit about this place and drive by Tenth all the time. Figured I'd stop by to check it out. At first glance, it appears to be a quaint location, quiet corner away from the main road, and elevator instrumental music plays in the background. The volume is at a marginal relaxing level, so it's not really quiet in the background. This place is owned and operated by middle-aged Korean couple. They're very friendly and speak so-so English, so be patient and speak slowly. They're very clean and tables are cleared fairly quickly.

Plenty of parking outside since it's in the lot of the Crest Shopping Centre. The food here is alright and it's your standard cafe comfort food. There are patio tables outside which is great for warmer weather. They are covered by glass awnings, so rain isn't an issue.

I had a breakfast bagel and green match tea with soy milk. The bagel was warmed up by microwave and not by toasting as they don't have a real kitchen. The matcha tea is decent. Drinks here are similar to Blenz in quality.

The washroom is spacious and location is wheel chair accessible. It's funny because there's one table that is literally blocking half the access way to the washroom. The people sitting at that table would have to move in order for a wheel chair to get into the washroom.

Overall, I would rate this place a 3.5/5, but they deserve a 4 for being...

Season’s Apple Cafe is an Asian-run Italian cafe located in a mini mall on Tenth Avenue in Burnaby, near the Burnaby-Coquitlam border. I stopped by here in mid-July to grab a quick lunch and took a seat on their patio.

The view from the patio isn’t fabulous… you just have a view of the parking lot for the mini mall, but it was a welcome experience to enjoy the warm weather that we’ve been having in July. I ordered the Napoli Tuna Sandwich ($7.95) made with tuna, feta, mozzarella, red onion, red pepper, spinach, mustard, and mayo on a grilled focaccia and teamed it up with a Passion Fruit Italian Soda ($4.70) and a large chocolate chip cookie.

It took about 10 minutes for my sandwich to be made and grilled up. The exterior of the focaccia had a crisp cracker-like crunch to the bite and the mozzarella provided a nice cheesy-pull. I was a bit worried at first that the feta would be a bit strong in this sandwich but my concerns were unfounded. Sipping the passion fruit soda on a hot day like this was quite refreshing.

I returned over 2 months later and ordered their Tuna Melt on Toast ($6.95) along with a Hot Chocolate ($3.40). I actually liked this better than their Napoli version. This is a classic text-book tuna melt with a beautifully golden hue which gives way to a crisp crunch to the bite before reaching the tuna and...

Small but mighty good. Little cafe with just a few tables in and outside. Bright and cheerful staff took our counter order and delivered lunch to our cafe table by the window. The bagel sandwiches are terrific. My lox on a cheese bagel had the right amount of crunch to the baked topping. It was packed generously with tasty creme cheese and salmon. This was the first (and hopefully not last) time I've enjoyed a bagel that didn't squash the filling out while I ate it. My partner's ham and cheese sandwich made him happy, too. Paired with Rooibos latte, I couldn't pass up a chocolate croissant for desert. Would have been nice to eat it outside in the sunshine but it didn't make it out the door. It was that good! A bit of a drive into Burnaby Sapperton area but lots of free parking on a Saturday afternoon in the plaza lot. They close at 5 so arrive early for a full selection of baked goods. I bought a loaf of sourdough Vienna bread that they sliced on the spot. Prices are reasonable but the quality made it worth the trip. Worthy of a...
