I don't know about places that have good coffee, but I do like going to the Pantry and to Knight and Day. Their breakfasts are usually awesome. Try and find some smaller places, they usually have the goods, but I don't know many in Vancouver and I can't remember the one that my mom use to take me to when I was little.

De Dutch and the Elbow Room have my fave Eggs benny. I am an Eggs Benny girl all the way.

As far as cheap breakfast.....the corner of Broadway and Burrard, a little hole in the wall. $2.99 till 11am.

It's all about Bon's...the true greasy spoon...an experience in itself "Need another shot, there, BUDDY?!". A couple times I've gone in there with a friend and it was so busy they sat us at a table of 4 with another couple of strangers...nothing like making new friends at breakfast. If you haven't been you must go at least once.

I'm also partial to ABC breakfast, big portions and on Sundays they have specials on things like margarita's and seabreezes so you can have cheap drinks with your bacon and eggs. :) I tend to have "breakfast" around noon on a Sunday after so its perfect.

Chain restaurants are definitely for tools, though I am a veteran of many a 3am slam. If you're actually planning on going out for breakfast, I can't see why you'd bother with that kinda poison.

For the money, nothing beats Bons. I usually get the Eggs Benedict.

For vegetarian, nothing beats Cafe du Soleil on the drive. I always get the special (mmm...tomato).

That guy's hilarious, no matter who he's working for. He gave everyone refills while speaking with a bad Irish accent last time I saw him.

I can't believe nobody said Seb's Place on Broadway one block west of Fraser. Also Sunshine Dinner moved one bloack east to Broadway and Trafalger on the north side of the street.

wow seriously no one mentioned Sophies's on West 4th. It's one hell of a line up but really worth the wait :)

Ironic that I mentioned that too *haha*

Bon's on Broadway typical breakfast stuff and good service but a hell of a wait.

Hatch located on Broadway and Main (right across from Kingsgate mall) funky atmosphere awesome servers and great food. You can order vegitarian meals as well as different nifty breakfast meals if you feel like straying from the typical. the menu's are cool too becuase they have named different meals with cool names.

PS- I wouldn't suggest for anyone to go or continue going to Red Umbrella I have a friend who worked there and she told me some disturbing stories about that place.

I know Van was asked about, but since Slickety Jim's has already been mentioned I'll mention Floyd's Diner in Victoria. $10 will get you the most filling breakfast you've ever eaten, swear to god. I'm a big fan of the BC Hash, but the French Toast in general is glorious.
