Colleen's Cafe — Restaurant in Township of Langley

We were looking for a place to have breakfast and came across this gem on Google Maps.

It’s a small cafe with mismatched chairs, automobile memorabilia, license plate covered walls, vintage toys, and the odd Canadiana poster. In some ways, a typical “greasy spoon” hole-in-the-wall cafe.

The one thing separating this cafe from hundreds of similar ones, though, is a hostess with the sunniest attitude I think I’ve ever encountered. She greeted us warmly and was cheerful and helpful the whole time. Several regulars came in while we were there, and she greeted them by name, chatting with them like old friends.

The menu is true to type, with all-day breakfast and lunch items. What you can’t tell by reading the menu is that the fries and hash browns “were just potatoes this morning” as our hostess proudly explained. You also can’t tell by the menu that the food is delicious, and obviously prepared by people who are proud of their little cafe.

The added bonus is that the prices here are modest compared to other breakfast restaurants. You won’t find $24 breakfasts here. You’ll get tasty food at an affordable price, served with a smile in charming surroundings.

My kind...

I went to Colleen’s Café when I found out that Nola West was closed. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed having lunch there. Even with the establishment’s small space, I still got a table when I arrived.

I ordered their Ginger Beef with some coffee. The breaded beef was amazing; it was crunchy, savoury and very piquant, thanks to the ginger sauce that came with the dish. The vegetables were fresh and not overcooked at the slightest. The Rice was fantastic; not too chewy and had a nice subtle taste on their own. The coffee was pretty good too.

The service from the staff was great, I like their enthusiasm and how dedicated they were to providing me with a great restaurant experience. The establishment itself is just so captivating to look at from the inside. It is like Ronny’s Bistro or the Corner Nook in Chilliwack, where the walls are completely covered with antiques, license plates and memorabilia portraits. Even their washroom is decorated all over.

I highly recommend you stop by Colleen’s Café whenever you are taking the alternate route to Langley or Surrey. You will enjoy what they...

Restaurants have changed over the years, and I could name several of my favourite places that I once loved that I no longer go to. Whether it's the food that's changed, customer service, atmosphere, it's the way she goes. But this place has been wonderful each and every time I've gone. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is always above and beyond. But yesterday really brought a smile to my face, and that's when I knew I had to get on this review. When i was waiting for my order was ready there was a little boy who was super curious and exploring all the different items that they have on display Jenny picked up the boy and entertained him as if he was her own while his parents finished their meal. Her interaction with him was so genuine and natural. She truley is wonderful and one of a kind... So please even if you're not hungry, stop by and met Jenny. I promise you won't be...
