Isetta Cafe Bistro

- Expensive drinks that aren't worth the price.
- Food is average at best
- Busboy had the audacity to come outside and tell a group of people to stop loitering (keep in mind these are paying customers with drinks in their hands). Your choice of location for the cafe and lack of parking is not the customer's problem. Not to mention not a single car came in looking for a spot during this time.

I really love this spot as it's super hidden and has awesome vibes. They have a breakfast menu and a different lunch menu. I went for lunch and got a few pastas, soups, coffee, and a salad. The coffee was really good. Place gets pretty packed and people like to study or do work on their computer there.

The salad was lacking dressing so we had to ask for more dressing. However, the rest of the food was amazing. I love how they have an Isetta out in the front and a small museum of cars in a garage where you can peek your head through.

Parking: Spots get taken up pretty quickly but we were able to find parking each time.

I had this spot pinned in my maps for a while and I was so glad to finally get a chance to visit it! I went on a Saturday morning around 11 with a group of 4 so I wasn't hopeful that we would be able to get a seat since brunch places are usually super busy on the weekend. To my surprise, there were plenty of seats available!

The space is beautiful and there's a mix of 2 person tables, couches, and longer communal tables as well so we chose a communal table.

For the food / drink, they serve breakfast until 11:30 and then lunch afterwards. Between the 4 of us we tried 2 of the eggs bennys, the isetta breakfast, and a focaccia sandwich and all were delicious! I didn't get a chance to try any of their drinks this time around but would like to in the future.

The service was also very quick and nice - for meals you get a number after you pay and they bring it to your table.

Overall I was really impressed with this spot and would love to come back!

This place is designed beautifully - its sleek, it's comfortable, it's cozy - it's everything. It's modern and rustic at the same time. Forget the location - this building could be dropped anywhere and people would be drawn to it!

The menu concept is fabulous and on-point for a semi-Italian modern café (I am definitely coming back for the oysters and anchovy toast).

I was introduced the other day to the Isetta Burger (a millionaire's Big Mac). The chef Koda prepared what was arguably the best smash burger I have ever had in my life.

Service was great and everyone was smiling in the kitchen. A great sign.

I can't wait to bring my girlfriend's here for happy hour!

A west vancouver gem that mostly only locals know about. This 1956 mid-century
modern building has served the community in many different ways, from gas station to convenience store to post office and even a pharmacy...it is now a cozy cafe-bistro

Isetta Cafe is one of my favourite places to grab a cup of coffee or breakfast/lunch they have a delicious selection of dishes for both breakfast (till 11:30am) and lunch (from 11:30am-7pm).

We Ordered:
Isetta Burger $22 + bacon $3
Grilled Cheese & Soup $19.5

Isetta Cafe Bistro is a cute, cozy cafe that has a bit of a off the beaten path feel to it as it may be a be a bit of a detour off the highway. As you head in from the parking lot, you'll be greeted by beautiful red BMW Isetta. Instead, you'll find a good amount of loungey seating and order coffee, pastries, and cocktails with a nice view. Service was solid. Would recommend if you're around!

This new spot has been on my list ever since i saw it open. It's a bit far from where i live, so i decided to venture out early on a Saturday morning.

It was giving major palm springs, vintage, 70s vibes (kinda felt like i was on the set of don't worry darling). So so gorgeous! The aesthetics are defs 10/10. They've got plenty of seating, a decent menu and lots of cool details. It's tucked away off marine drive and kinda close to water views. Defs a cool location.

I arrived around 9:30, there was a bit of a lineup but the cafe was empty. I ordered a 12oz iced vanilla latte ($6.50 - ouch), and a brownie ($4.75). the coffee was amazing! i've tried a lot and was very impressed. It was nice to sit and enjoy it with nowhere to be - i ended up walking the dunderave seawall right after!

Service was okay but nothing amazing. I did end up ordering another coffee to go cuz it was just that good.

Yes it's a far drive for me, but i will defs be back a lot!

This is the kinda place that grows on you.
When I first walked in, I wasn't sure but after a little time I was glad I gave this place a try. I'll tell you why.

They have a bar, so that's a plus right away.
Their casual service actually kinda fits the vibe. Sort of a cool, hipster, I don't care if you wanna a muffin or not, all is cool kind of energy going on. So, it's very mellowing.

Their Chocolate Parsnip muffin tastes much better than it looks. So, don't judge it by it's looks. At first, I was like....oh man not another stale muffin but I was pleasantly surprised by the taste.

The ginger tea was nice and so was the americano.
Adorable little Christmas tree which glistened by the shore's oncoming sun rays penetrating Caulfield.

Yeah, I'd go back.

Almost drove by, the turn snuck up on us. Not the hash browns I was expecting, but the best I've had to date. The morning after Sando is a must have. Wonderful atmosphere and even better views.

We had a great time going here. It is beautifully designed inside and out, and the owners have done a great job renovating the place from the gas station it used to be. Its in an awesome location, nice and quiet. Be prepared to spend a bit more than you usually would for your meal, it is on the more pricey side of things - but they are really catering to the audience that surrounds them (in a very wealthy neighbourhood). I absolutely loved their heirloom tomato and mozerella sandwhich though- like seriously so good. And their tomato soup is one of the better ones I have had.

Overall, a fun place to go to with people who may be visiting, or if you are looking for a new brunch/ lunch place to venture to.
