We were a group of six and had to wait almost two hours, even though the estimated wait time was about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The staff made up for it with a nice gesture, offering us free coffee and a waffle. I ordered the fricassee, and it was delicious! The braised rib was definitely the highlight of the dish, tender and flavorful. But the real star of Medina Café is their waffle. I honestly can’t tell you how much I loved it, crispy, buttery, and perfectly paired with their toppings. Definitely a must-try!

We had the paella and pork sandwich. The pork was crispy, soft and tender at the same time. Probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had. The foccacia bread was so delicious as well. The waffle is amazing, probably one of the best waffles as well. Come to this spot 🚀

At opening time on Saturday morning there is a 50 person line, but it was worth the short wait. By 9:15 we were seated. I was amazed by the extreme efficiency in which this place handled the amount of people, but still providing excellent service! The coffee and waffles are absolutely delicious and you should definitely try it! For main we choose to share the Wolf Platter, which has a bunch of different things. I personally liked the steak (and sauce) the bacon, potatoes and eggs the best, but it was cool to try 3 different types of sausage as well.

I really loved this place! From the moment I called to ask about their gluten free options, I spoke with the owner, who mentioned his wife is also celiac, and right away I knew I would be in good hands. That level of understanding and care made such a difference. When we arrived, the owner was so warm and welcoming. He took the time to get to know us and personally recommended the Wolves Breakfast, which was incredible, especially if you are looking for a high-protein option. The matcha latte was also so good and really well made. I was told the waffle is a must-try as well. The only thing I’ll say is that besides the Wolves breakfast - there’s not much more gluten free offerings. Highly recommend Medina for a cozy breakfast with an atmosphere built on positivity, genuine hospitality, and great food. A true Vancouver gem.
