I've been going to Cafe Deux Soleils for years now. Thank goodness for it's consistently yummy all day breakfast. I think this place has the best homemade veggie burger EVER! I'm addicted. Although it's a little rough around the edges the open kitchen allows me to see what goes on in there unlike most restaurants where sometimes I'm terrified of what I can't see and who is actually preparing my food. Staff have been helpful and accommodating with my weird requests (food allergy stuff). It's completely reasonably priced. Decent portions for affordable prices. I've been in the cafe when it's packed on a Sunday, still managed to get my brekkie in record time, during slower times midweek (thought the music was a little loud for such a mellow time though) and also when it's rockin" later on in the evening for live music and entertainment. It's a fun place to come and watch a show not just to eat food. Thank you Cafe Deux Soleils!

I do love this place and the next time I visit, I hope to replace this review. However, my experience tonight was worth posting.

The only visible menu on the chalkboard when I showed up was what I ordered from and I felt like a veggie burger so I ordered just that. Upon ordering a "Veggie Burger with cheese and hash" per the menu, I was informed that the only visible menu wasn't valid and that fries replaced hash in the evening. They could have pulled the blinds down over the menu (like they had for the breakfast menu), but they decided the lunch menu provided some value at dinner (perhaps comparison?).

I elected to replace my standard lunch veggie burger with a Pineapple Veggie Burger with fries - this was $1.65 more than the lunch edition I originally ordered. I sat at a table and waited about 15 minutes for my food. Upon arrival, I was informed that there was no pineapple left, but that my burger was ready. I asked how my "Pineapple veggie burger" could be ready without pineapple and the server explained that he didn't know there was no pineapple left. I went on to ask why on earth the cook would go ahead and make a pineapple burger without pineapple and I was met with the offer of a side salad instead.

I didn't want to send back the food as it was surely fine and I didn't want to waste it, but it was pretty dry without the requisite tropical fruit. The side salad was a nice offer and was decent, but I did pay extra to have a pineapple.

I love the atmosphere, but sometimes the crew on-hand is just "trying" rather than "doing." They tried and failed tonight.

I live nearby and go for breakfast or lunch. The breakfasts are hearty standard fare and well done with great rosemary potatoes. Portions are good for me but I notice a lot of people waste food here (especially those yummy potatoes) and that flies in the face of the Drive sensibility. Maybe they could offer a choice of portion size?

When I want a lighter breakfast I used to order coffee with one of their fresh muffins, which were great -oaty and with nuts and/or fruits. Another reviewer commented on them being dry and they are a bit. That just means they are not swimming in fat which is what a muffin shouldn't be. Just have another slug of coffee or water to wash them down. Their muffins used to be great and with good amounts of healthy things ! Now they regularly put tasteless brown coloured grease that they call chocolate chips in the muffins. Boo to junk food for breakfast! I go elsewhere.

I like going here since I have a young child. It's nice to have a relaxed atmosphere and space for a child to play.
The food is pretty good, I crave the marble toast. Coffee is bad.
I think the place really needs an upheaval for decorating, and cleaning, but I'll still go back even if they don't. I like the place but its definatly not for everyone. I brought my mom and aunt and it really wasn't their cup of tea.

We like this place overall because we have a restless 3 year old, who can run around in here while we get a beer or two. Not many places are so relaxed about kids, so we appreciate that. As for the food: it's always just sort of okay; nothing you'd really go out of your way for but always adequate. Our biggest complaint would be the 'cleanliness' issue: the bathrooms are vile, and are ALWAYS missing soap, which makes us wonder whether anyone there really cares about safe food handling. The tables, seats etc. are always sticky and a little gross too. But hey, I'm a little uptight about this stuff; they on the other hand are insanely relaxed about it. You gotta be relaxed too if you're ever going to go with the flow on this restaurant.

Searching for a good breakfast place is always goal of mine. Today we decided to go out to the drive and see where the people are. Typically, a busy place is a good place. Seemingly ths trick paid off.

You order at a counter and they bring your food to where you are seated. We got a creamy and delicious muffin with strawberries, coconut, and cream cheese. It was heavenly. We also enjoyed a chai latte as well as an Inka latte (which is a coffee substitute) and again delicious.

For our mains we had the "Stella" and "Special" which one is a vegetarian eggs bene with veggie ham. The flavours were great. Tangy and creamy, but the perfect balance. The other was scrambled eggs with a garlic/feta/tomato topping with marble rye toast. Very fresh and clean flavours.

The vibe was great too. There were all sorts of people enjoying a late breakfast and everyone was buzzing around the place. We felt really comfortable and welcomed. Definitely we'll be returning.

This is a great place to go for a late breakfast or lunch. I have not had the pleasure of trying the dinners but if they are naything like the breakfasts, I'll love it.

The service is typical Commercial Drive. You have to go up to the counter and order your food and then a server brings it out, shouting out your name to locate you. The place is very full of energy so it can be a bit overwhelming. Just ne prepared for the fun!

The food has been scrumptious every time I have been there. I like going for breakfasts and have never been disappointed, actually really happy, with the food and service.
