Hands down, the best place for a good sandwich in New West. Tons of meat and veggies piled on fresh baked bread for an excellent price. One standard sandwich can feed two. Freshly made desserts, pies, bread, & rolls for sale, plus a small selection of grocery items. Owner is diabetic, so in addition to standard offerings, he also carries a number of sugar-free products (sweets, cookies, ice cream) and makes sugar-free pies that are to die for. The atmosphere is nothing special, but it is clean. Service can be slow, since there's often only one person working, but the people who work there are very friendly and patience is rewarded with deliciousness.
This is absolutely my favorite place to eat in New Westminster. The coffee & gourmet panini sandwiches are delicious (buffalo chicken, tandoori chicken, breakfast egg & bacon, and more, all served on fantastic herbed bread). Also good are their eggs benedict, muffins, soup, and other dishes, and everything is well-priced. The staff is very nice, friendly and competent. The only downside is that it's a little small, so occasionally it's hard to find a table, and they close mid-afternoon on most days. Otherwise, it's perfect!
This little cafe just opened in January, offering nice coffee and decently priced, yummy food. I've had the French toast and eggs benedict so far, and they were both good-well cooked, and lighter/healthier tasting rather than heavy or greasy. The staff is friendly and chatty. There is also internet available, but I think you have to pay. It's a few blocks off of 8th st, near the skytrain station, and I hope enough people find it that it can stay in business.
