Breakfast for lunch at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe on West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano on December 9, 2010.

I have been desperate to try out Sophie's Cosmic Cafe for ages. I am not often in Kitsilano or on West 4th Avenue, aside for catching the occasional indie flick at Fifth Avenue Cinemas.

After a midday break at UBC, I decided to trek down to Kits on a beautiful, sunny after some rainfall and head over to this diner with a blast from the past.

I sat back and relaxed with my special Vancouver Is Awesome double edition of Discorder Magazine, which was indeed awesome. It was such a great issue from cover to cover.


I love milkshakes, especially espresso flavoured ones. I remember fashion blogger extraordinaire Nicole Soon recommending the shake here and it did not disappoint. It was probably one of the best, if not the best, espresso milkshake I have had.


I love the restaurant decor, red seats and all. There are knick knacks and colourful random junk everywhere. The staff was super nice and attentive. I was thoroughly impressed with their vast and impressive menu selection of breakfast items, sandwiches, meals, drinks, and deserts. I had a tough time choosing and was torn as I almost ordered the Belgian waffles.

I ultimately decided on an old school breakfast of scrambled eggs, Italian sausage, home fries, and toast. It was so very good. It was a bit heavy on carbs like the toast and potatoes, but it filled me up nicely.

I had a great, relaxing meal at Sophie's. I'm in love with this kitschy, fun diner and its charming decor, cool location, and friendly staff. Like the Governator, "I'll be back."
