Andrea’s 4-star review:
I had time for just 1 last breakfast before leaving Vancouver (tear) and Crystal H suggested one of her favorites: Cafe Medina.
The restaurant is rather small, but I was still surprised to see a bit of a wait on a Friday morning. Apparently this is a very popular spot!
I had been warned that the Vancouver airport can take awhile to get thru (& yes, the rumors are true) so we were in a bit of a rush. We immediately placed an order for lavender lattes, hard boiled eggs, waffles (their specialty) and a bowl of fruit. The food didn't come out as fast as we would have liked, but that's prob more of our fault for being in a hurry.
The lavender latte was perfectly sweet, just how I like my coffee. I loved how the egg came in a little egg holder- we don't see much of that back in Chicago! The fruit was fresh and made me feel better about all the fattening stuff (um, poutine!) I had been eating in Vancouver. However, the waffle was the highlight of the meal. They have lots of different sauces to choose from, but I opted for the chocolate raspberry. So delish that I ended up dipping my fruit in it as well. So much for the fruit being healthy, but had to indulge during my last Vancouver meal.
