The Cannery Cafe - Richmond

I have visited this restaurant two days in a row because my first experience was so great. The eggs Benedict and fried chicken waffle are definitely a must-try. However, I would not recommend the steak as it was chewy and bland. The French toast was also dry, it would have been better if it was soaked in buttermilk. I suggest visiting on a weekday to avoid the crowd and receive better service. The patios are open and pet-friendly, which always makes for a happier atmosphere. And fun fact - this restaurant was once featured in the TV show "Once Upon a Time"!

I have to admit we came two days in a row to this little jewel in Richmond you can't do any wrong, the waiters are more than nice and very friendly, we immediately felt welcome as you can see on the pics, the food not only looks delicious, but also tastes that way

Located in the heart of Steveston, this charming cafe offers a variety of drinks from hot chocolate to red wine. The cafe also features a wall of fame, as it was used in the filming of "Once Upon a Time," making it a must-see for fans of the show or anyone interested in local Hollywood history. The food portions are generous, the flavors are tasty, and I would recommend stopping by for brunch if you're in the area. While the food may not be five-star dining, the service is excellent, and the cozy atmosphere provides a nice respite for visitors exploring the village.

I am impressed by this restaurant! The food is not only beautifully presented, but it also tastes fresh, real, satisfying, and warm. The fried chicken was juicy, crispy on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. It paired well with maple syrup on the waffle, creating a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. The deboned chicken thighs made it easy to eat. The orzo paella had a nostalgic taste reminiscent of spaghetti o's and was served with a cute little yogurt parfait topped with a mint leaf. The portions were generous. The French toast was unique in that it was less eggy and buttery, but the dense and thick bread made it less heavy. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting.

If you 've ever watched Once Upon A Time, then you will know that this quaint restaurant is known as Granny 's Cafe in the show! We stopped by here for brunch and although they do not accept reservations on the weekend, we arrived around 12:45P and there was a table readily available. Every item we tried was indicated as their 'Best Sellers ' with this emoji; . Items we ordered to share; GRANNY 'S CHOWDER There was a handful of clams in the chowder. Overall flavor was good and was served in a bread bowl. In my personal opinion, I feel like you lose portion amounts when a chowder is served in a bread bowl. Still good. BREAKFAST PAELLA This paella had Bavarian sausage, veggies, served with a sunny side up egg a bed of fresh salad. The flavor was very tomato-y, something I 'm not accustomed to when eating paella, so that was a bit new to me. The presentation was very nice, it was served on a wooden paddle and came with toasted bread yogurt. Unsure if it was my fave dish. FRIED CHICKEN WAFFLES This was probably my favorite dish! The chicken was well season and so juicy. Cooked to perfection. The dish is served on a soft waffle (a little sweet in my opinion), poached egg topped with fresh salad, hollandaise sauce syrup. I asked for the sauces to be on the side (this is just a personal preference). ROSE TEA LATTE The drink was good, nothing extremely special, but presentation was very pretty! MIMOSA They only have one flavor, which is orange. I think this drink lacked alcohol, you could barely taste the alcohol. Presentation: Pretty Food: Overall it was decent and I would like to come back and try their other menu items. Service: Good Parking: If you 're lucky you may get a spot nearby. But in general, Steveston is just a busy area. Reservations: Yes, but not on weekends.
