The best breakfast sandwiches in Vancouver you must try
There’s truly little else like a well-crafted breakfast sandwich.
Picture this: you sleep in late after being out the night before and all you can think about is an egg and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of bread.
Or, you wake up super early for that meeting you have to go to and you’re so tired and hungry and all that’s going to get you through it is some bacon, avocado, and a runny egg on a bagel.
Whatever the scenario, the breakfast sandwich is a beautiful, beautiful thing, but they’re not all made equal.
In pursuit of finding the perfect one, we’ve compiled this list of some of the best breakfast sandwiches in Vancouver.

This beloved sandwich shop is finally back on the Vancouver food scene after a successful fundraiser, and we’re especially happy about it because their breakfast sandwich is dreamy.
