Vancouver’s 10 Best Breakfast Sandwiches

The humble breakfast sandwich is hard to get right. Sometimes using as little as three ingredients, it is deceivingly simple and the need for it to be hand-held further complicates matters. To help you with the most important meal of the day, here’s a list of the 10 best breakfast sandwiches in Vancouver. —Bronwyn Lewis

Caffe La Tana serves up everything from fresh pasta to one of the best breakfast sandwiches. It comes with soft scrambled egg and we highly recommend adding both the prosciutto cotto and the roasted tomato.

Bells and Whistles All Day Breakfast Sandwich pairs perfectly with Happy Hour beer. The melted American cheese blends with the secret sauce and the hash brown adds satisfying texture.

A roaming breakfast sandwich option is the Crack On food truck. Their famous hand-crafted bacon is best showcased in their BLT which comes with cheddar and lemon, garlic, and thyme aioli. 

Main Street’s Novella has an excellent breakfast sandwich. It comes with a fried egg, a patty of well seasoned sausage, 10,000 Island Dressing, and a much-appreciated crispy layer of hash brown.

Livia serves bread and other baked goods, as well as coffee, Negronis, and handmade pasta. They also have a delicious breakfast sandwich which comes with soft scrambled egg, scamorza cheese, and pickled onion. 

Chinatown’s Say Hey has a couple of scrumptious breakfast sandwiches but our favourite is the smokey Oochee Mama with soft scrambled egg, bacon, Applewood cheddar, and chilli mayo.

For a yummy Vegan option, To Live For has the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich which comes with vegan egg and dairy free cheddar and arugula.

Harbour Oyster Bar serves all day breakfast but you won’t see their Lobster Breakfast Sandwich on the menu because it’s a secret. It’s also lobster-loaded and delicious.

Nemesis Coffee serves two breakfast sandwiches. Get the Bodega Sando. It comes on a potato bun with a fried egg and your choice of bacon or avocado. We suggest getting both and adding the hash brown.

One of the best things about Their There’s breakfast sandwiches is the addition of alfalfa. Of the three they serve, our favourite is the Bacon & Egg with scrambled egg and American cheese.
