Federal Store - Vancouver

The Federal Store is one of the cutest cafes I've been to! I highly recommend the almond and pear galette, and they have amazing coffee. To top it all off, they have the sweetest staff!

To start: the sourdough bread is made every morning. Nothing is ever microwaved. They won't have one. EVERYTHING tastes amazing, and the love each item was made from oozes with each bite. But—if each sip of each sip of an El Federalé espresso Tonica does not soothe your soul and give you a sensory hug, then there is no pleasing you.

This is one of the best cafes in my hood: the espressos are out of this world, the food is delish and the service is warm and friendly... They make every effort to accommodate you! I went in two days ago and ordered the chicken pear sandwich. I’m not crazy about sandwiches at cafes since they are often heavy on bread and low on filling but this blew all other chicken sandwiches out of the water! It had a good ratio of toasted bread to filling and was a great combo of flavours... not at all the the typical generic, bland chicken salad. I had my dog outside and asked them to add an extra 1/2 portion of chicken for him that I’d pay for. They did, even bringing it out in a a special little bowl for him! I was awed that they’d care so much. <br/ <br/ Today I ordered the yam quiche as it was highly recommended by another reviewer. It did not disappoint. I’ve had and made a lot of quiches over the years. But this was different and incredible as it was a caramelized yam quiche. <br/ <br/ Get thee here! Support a small, local quality cafe/restaurant in your city rather than the generic mega chains.

Delicious almond latte and vegan cookie completed my Sunday Snowday : worth leaving the house for! If you haunt Mount Pleasant stop in here !!!

The perfect place for a great lunch and or coffee. Super freindly group of people.
