Reviews for Bruncheria in New Westminster, BC
What a great little brunch spot! It was a first visit for my partner and I. The server that waited on us was friendly, welcoming... and knowledgeable about the food. Each entree was a feast for all the senses. So fresh and delicious! We loved the relaxed vibeand the music too ???? (I inquired, it was the chefs playlist) Minus 1 star for having to wait outside in the cold to be seateddue to covid seating/distancing or cost saving measures? Not sure, but the rest of the dining experience was delightful. Wehighly recommend the mimosas made with freshly squeezed juice ???? Read more
I myself am not vegetarian or vegan but I was pleasantly surprised at the extensive selection of vegetarian and vegan options.... Their dedication to providing a variety of options shows even in the non-vegetarian items. I had a brunch bowl with bacon,pulled pork, and a side of farmers sausage and it came with at least 5 different veggies. I counted mushrooms, brussels sprouts,bell peppers, tomatoes (not technically a veggie I know), broccoli, and a couple others that I can't recall now. The serving ofmashed avocado was generous and fresh, the plate wasn't overloaded with an abundance of potatoes as filler, and the bacon wascrispy, but not thin. The service is also fantastic. I arrived within an hour of the closing time but the staff were all veryfriendly and welcoming and did not rush me at all. My server was knowledgable about the menu and was happy to give suggestionswhen I asked for recommendations. I was seated in the covered outdoor area, and it was quite pleasant despite the heavy rainsthat had been coming down all day. The only thing that I might have a complaint about was that one of my two poached eggs wasoverdone( just one, the other one was perfect ????) and I would just attribute that to my bad timing. The kitchen and restaurantwere clearly already getting ready to close down. Overall this is a solid brunch spot and I would definitely come back. Read more
We were feeling spontaneous and decided to try Bruncheria which was close by. The food was pretty good and the servers were very... friendly, but forgetful. We asked for coffee with sugar, cream and milk and when it was brought over, they asked again what wewanted for our coffee which they ended up giving us sugar and milk. When our orders arrived, my friend was confused about hersbecause it was a waffle sandwich with fried chicken in sweet and sour sauce which she didn't order. We looked around for thewaiter and the table across from us mentioned they think the waffle sandwich dish was theirs and that they had my friend's. Theyended up switching plates and we had a chuckle about it. Lastly, when we asked for the bill, we asked for it to be split. A fewmoments later, the server came back with one bill and asked if we wanted it split because they couldn't remember (it wasliterally 10 seconds ago). Overall, the food was tasty, service was friendly, exterior decor was beautiful and cozy feeling. Iwould come back, but the service could be a bit better with remembering our orders or what we ask for. Read more
It's been a few years since I last visited Bruncheria. At that time, they were further south on Columbia (in the downtown area).... They've since moved up to the corner of Braid and Columbia. This particular spot has seen many restaurants over the years and Irecall dining at Korean and Thai spots here in the past. There's a fairly spacious parking lot (which is nice since parkingaround here can be difficult). But they've put in a large patio which has taken up some of the spots. As it's a busyintersection, it's not very calming environment. Food was ok but that was it. Tried the breakfast waffle with bacon... thewaffle wasn't a bit crisp and had more of a pancake texture. Took a while to get my order in because there was only one personworking at the time. But once I managed to order, the food came out quickly. I will say that the person there was reallyeffervescent and he seemed to be working hard. Read more
When we got to the restaurant the parking lot was very busy. There were many food delivery service people waiting impatiently. ... There were empty tables but we still had to wait The food was good for the price. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Onewaiter seemed very new and unfamiliar with the menu and food. Read more
Reminded me of eating in Europe. Great little spot for breakfast or brunch. Fantastic vegetarian options. Food was delicious,... they brought out complimentary doughnuts with the coffee. Super friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Read more
Bruncheria really knows how to make a first time customer feel special. I work just down the way and I was pretty hungry for... breakfast. So I ordered the Carnivore Breakfast Sandwich with breakfast potatoes. Not only was the order ready quickly theyeven threw in a donut on the house. ????????????. The food was delicious! I would highly recommend. Read more
Great food! Great music! Brunch was great! Good selection of menu items. Lots of parking available. The restaurant is small and... we were seated in in the covered patio area so it was pretty cold (even with the outdoor heaters). Otherwise great service andexperience. Ps the music was fantastic, I felt like I was at a karaoke party! Read more
