Cozy tiny cafe vibe. Seating arrangements are ok. Service was good and polite. Coffees are amazing. We wanted to try some egg dishes however they ran out of eggs, hence, couldn’t. Though vegetarian dishes were amazing specially the veggie wrap.

I had a wonderful experience at this cafe! The food pricing was very reasonable, making it perfect for both casual outings and regular visits. The waitresses were incredibly nice, and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I was especially impressed with how willing they were to customize my order to make it just right. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy a meal in good company. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a warm environment!

Excellent food and hospitality. I’ve ordered their burgers for takeout and was always satisfied with the presentation and quality. Their patties taste freshly made to order. I look forward to trying some of their desserts on my next visit.

We had a spinach and egg breakfast with whole wheat bread, a teapot, and a latte. The meal had walnuts and dates in it, and the drinks were great. The staff and the owners were really lovely. I will go there again. Highly recommended!

Extremely delicious and a surprise too. The burgers are all made with in-house made patties making the meat extremely fresh. The bun is soft and the whimpys burger featured a smoked patty and bacon which the flavors mixed perfectly. The bandari sausage was full of flavor, you can taste the beef mixed with tomato and spices, there's an amazing flow with the vegetables. It tastes very refreshing and healthy. The white mocha frappe was very delicate and it had a very aromatic scent, the taste between this drink and Starbucks is no comparison Brisk Cafe knocks it out of the park, they are similar price points too. The chocolate cake was very soft and melted in your mouth, it tastes like it could go very well with tea and was a great way to end. The mango lemonade was delicious too and mixed well with the lemonade. Overall 10/10, definitely one of Coquitlam's best cafes and a proper homage to Persian food.

Visited this cafe for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to discover it is one of the best in Coquitlam. While I expected a typical omelette, they elevated it to an extra delicious level! Will definitely be recommending this spot to my friends. UPDATE: I’ve had to lower my rating to 4 stars. I became a regular customer and noticed they’ve been getting my order wrong recently—twice in the past month. Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue.

A Cozy Haven for Coffee Lovers! My friends and I stumbled upon this charming coffee shop, and its now our go-to spot. The ambiance is inviting, making us want to linger for hours. The menu boasts an impressive selection: artisanal coffee, decadent cookies, creamy shakes and freshly made sandwiches. Quality ingredients, generous portions and presentation make every treat delightful. Friendly baristas, attentive service and warm atmosphere ensure a welcoming experience. Spending afternoons here, sipping, snacking and socializing, has become our favorite ritual. *Highly Recommended!*

Terrible service and even way worse food. Please don t trust the reviews on this restaurant as I finally found out those fake 5 stars review are from their family and friends. When I went to eat that day the table was dirty and had flies flying around. Once the ordered food arrived it was so bad and the portion size was ridiculous. Please stay away and save your money and especially your time. DO NOT RECOMMEND at all!

I recently dined at Brisk Cofe and was truly impressed! The food is a fantastic fusion of Persian, Mediterranean, and Western flavors, offering something for everyone. Each dish is carefully crafted, and the ingredients are fresh, making for a delightful dining experience. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portions. The staff at Brisky are friendly, attentive, and add to the overall welcoming atmosphere. Whether youre craving something exotic or familiar, Brisk is a must-try! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

October 22, 2024

Took around 30 minutes to get a coffee without the non-dairy milk I had asked for because it wouldve made the small americano too big. Had the americano taken away then brought back reheated with a side of cream (dairy). Then waited another 40 mins for a tortilla with cut vegetables in it which they called the vegan wrap. The plate came covered with their special sauce which was made of mayo (not vegan). I pointed out that mayo is made from egg and asked if the mayo was also in the wrap or just all over my plate. She said it was not in the wrap and left. All three meals and drinks my group ordered were terrible and not properly mixed. Do not called a wrap vegan if you smear egg all over the plate my wrap is on. Should not have paid. Do not eat here if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. Staff negligent

The manager needs to think about the training part and the amount of staff. Not satisfied. I cant talk about the taste, taste was good but they were so late, no welcoming water were on the table, they forgot our order so i change the meal. They need add more staff for sure. Also, we spected the bill, but it wasnt, so they asked us to go to the counter one by one

This place offers a lot of choices. You can have western breakfast/brunch or go with Persian options. The staff are very nice and helpful and the place is very well maintained and clean. The food is super delicious and comes in a generous portion. Try this place especially if you crave Kalleh Pache ! Update just few days ago we visited there again and got a Royal Sandwich which was so good and tasted like Vije sandwiches back in Tehran.

We visited Brisk Cafe for breakfast. However, there were a few issues that need improvement: 1. The interior was too warm, so we opted to sit outside. 2. Unfortunately, they were out of potatoes for the Classic Potato Plate, so we had to switch to the Persian Plate. 3. Service was slow water and extra bread came after multiple requests, and my dropped fork wasn t replaced. 4. We didn t receive a detailed bill when paying. We d like to return, but hope these concerns are addressed.

I m at a loss for words to describe how great this café is. The atmosphere, food, coffee, and cakes are exceptional. My daughter is a regular for their weekend specialty, kalleh pacheh, and she also loves their delicious pasta and burgers. coffees are awesome , chocolate cake, and saffron pistachio cake have unique flavours that I ve never found anywhere else. Thank you Brisk for the wonderful experience.

I recently tried the Kale Pache at Brist Cafe. Overall, it was quite good satisfying. However, I did notice that the dish I received wasn t quite like what s shown in their social media photos. The Kale Pache comes in full or half portions (the picture I ve posted is of the full portion), and you need to order bread separately, so keep that in mind when comparing prices with other places. It s a solid option, but manage your expectations based on their online images.

July 22, 2024

I ordered two cheese burgers , unbelievable crazy prices , $17 something for just a small burger . Tha burger doesn t have any special taste it was just a normal burger which can get from McDonalds . Omg can t believe how expensive and pricy . I don t recommend it at all

Great cafe and brunch place. I ve been here twice, once for brunch and got the Persian and English breakfasts. The portions were tasty and generous, we had to take some leftovers home. The special tea with the saffron rock candy was so good, too. The second visit I had the coffee and baklava which were really good. They have a small and a large baklava, and I really like the small one full of flavour and spice but not too sweet.

Ive tried the Turkish baklava and the Turkish coffee, which Id say is not Turkish at all. The coffee is too watery and the baklava was mainly pure sugar. The service is okay and the atmosphere is nice.

**A Breakfast to Remember at Brisk Cafe** Walking into Brisk Cafe, the day starts on a high note with its vibrant ambiance and the promise of a great breakfast. The experience only gets better from there. The **Veggie Omelet** was a flavorful journey with every forkful, packed with fresh vegetables and just the right amount of seasoning. Its a dish that not only satisfies the taste buds but also feels like a healthy choice to start the day. The **English Breakfast** was a hearty plate that paid homage to the classic, complete with all the trimmings one would expect from a traditional morning feast. It was cooked to perfection, and each component complemented the others beautifully. But lets talk about the beverages - the **Turkish Coffee** was a standout, with its rich, intense flavor and a cultural depth that added an exotic touch to the meal. The **Pistachio Latte** was a delightful surprise, offering a unique twist on the usual coffee experience with its nutty undertones and creamy texture. Service at Brisk Cafe was as impressive as the food. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our breakfast was not just a meal but a delightful experience. In summary, Brisk Cafe delivers a breakfast thats worth waking up for. Its a place where the quality of the food is matched by the warmth of the service. A must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a breakfast thats a cut above the rest. Vegetarian options: Veggie Omelet

Brisk Cafe is a total vibe! Cool art covers the walls, and their house-made bread is the real MVP - crusty outside, soft inside, and perfect for any sandwich. Speaking of sandwiches, we dove into the Kotlet (perfect, juicy breaded cutlet) and the tongue (amazingly savory and melt-in-your-mouth texture!). A delicious and artsy lunch spot for sure!

May 22, 2024

Unfortunately I have to write this review as I usually try to support small business and I always look for the positives to share. We bought two coffees yesterday ( Latte) and I have to say it was the worst coffee I had in my life . I am a coffee drinker and it is heartbreaking to pay for a coffee and get flavoured milk. ( this was a pure flavoured milk and not a coffee). To make things worse when we started sipping from the coffee , to our shock we got a bonus in the coffee. We had some rice granules that was in the cup . Ofcourse we threw the coffee away as it was so disgusting to keep going . The worse coffee ever .

What a terrible experience : - We politely made it clear that one of the dishes( Persian omelette) is not up to our standdards with regards to taste. - We left the food un-touched - We were denied any attention for the remainder of our time, or any follow up for any other replacement order, or any attention altogether.... - At the end, we had to argue with the staff for them to take that dish off our bill as they resisted to charge us for it.... Like holy cow! Is this experience reall ? I couldnt believe my eyes that we actually experienced something like this.

Had seen good reviews for this one on the plus side it was halal. Thought to try it out, The food was a bit bland ! There were no cutleries served along with the breakfast. Had to keep asking for everything like cutlery, water, tissues, salt and pepper. Would be great if it was already on the table sunce the server was caught with orders and preparation of beverages / snacks/ food. Other than that it was an okay experience overall not very impressed with the taste or service and felt a bit overpriced

Terrible service! We came here because of good reviews. Turned out to be a huge mistake. We waited about 20 minutes for someone to take orders and then another 40 minutes for the food to come. No water and no napkins. We had to ask 3 times to finally get some milk for the coffee (we asked for cream but after having asking for 3 times, we decided just let it go) Iced latte is totally water down with a super short straw that I cannot use (per pic) We had to find napkins at other table and decided to go up to pay so we could get out of there as soon as possible. It s also not like they are busy - there were only 5 tables occupied. The food (sandwich and burger) is not bad but totally not worth the wait and bad service. Will not come back for sure.

The first time I tried Persian food. This is Ashresteh soup, I would never try any Persian item again. As you can see in the picture, I couldn t finish it. Extremely bad taste, the cafe is high rated, nice and clean, you can definitely try other items but this soup is waste of money. I wasted my money and time both, there is no parking nearby the store. There is no scope of comparison with Indian soups.

Brisk Cafe is one of the best cafes in Metro Vancouver that manage by very friendly people. The great and clean atmosphere with delicious dishes. I see a weird /unfair review from a person that compared the great Persian soup of this restaurant with Indian soup, because he didnt like the taste of the ingredients of Persian soup, he gave one star to this restaurant !!!! It happened a lot, I try different restaurants from different cultures and did not like taste of some of the foods because its different from what we use in Persian food but it doesnt mean that restaurant or food is not good and I should give them one star!!!! Try to be fair about the small business. I highly recommend Brisk Cafe to anyone who is looking for great food and a cozy cafe.

Brisk Cafe is my best and favorite place to go, eat and socialize! Their quality is beyond of your imagination. Hadi and his team are very nice, professional and polite. Price is very reasonable on any item! Food itself really tasty with large quantities! Any sandwich may feed 2 people! I m amazed and impressed with their service! I m from California, US but travel a lot to Coquitlam area and Brisk Cafe is my best place to go and eat.

If I wanna be fair, 4 stars is my review (soft yes). The Kalepache was good and tasty. But the service was very slow, which wasnt pleasant, and it was difficult to find someone assisting you. I would also recommend them placing water on the table and selecting music based on the restaurant atmosphere (just suggestion). They also made a mistake in our bill, and it was the first time seeing a refund in cash without adding the tax percentage, which we already had paid. Usually, most restaurants fix such issues in the system to refund the wrong item+ associated tax to go back to your card automatically. If they improve these small things, I believe they can be a top rated 5-star restaurant.

Oh my god! This was the most delicious Kalepache ever. It was a bit expensive but totally worth it. We went to Bricks Cafe with a party of 12 people from Vancouver west area which took us 35 minutes to get there. We tried almost everything including Omelette, Helenas Bagel, and their exquisite cakes. Everything was super delicious and fresh, especially the cakes were from another world. One suggestion, perhaps, would be to think about keeping the food warm. The soup gets very cold very soon and having a hot surface table or a special candle heating device or something can make a huge difference. Thanks Brisk Cafe!

The lady took my order, traditional Parisian, breakfast, and a cappuccino. She told me it might be a few minutes because there s a couple tables there, OK no problem. After half an hour, she still had not brought up my cappuccino, so I went in and said, it should not take this long to get a cappuccino. She says I ll be right out, 10 minutes later still no cappuccino I left. If they don t want to serve white people, they should just say that.

I live in Langley and was looking for a coffee shop in Coquitlam to meet a friend in the evening. Brisk Cafe was the only one among local coffee shops closing at 10 pm.

Nice and cozy coffee. Edit: this comment was a year ago, I visit two days ago and I dont think Im visiting again. I wouldnt be exaggerating if I say I had the worst Turkish coffee in my life. The coffee cake was not as horrible, but I wouldnt try it again. I tried to convey my thoughts to the staff but it was met with denial. Overall, the service quality deteriorated significantly over a year. I hope they do something about it.

I have been going to this restaurant since day one the food was good, the portions were good, the prices were good and the ambiance was good. Overall a little nice restaurant. Since the ownership changed everything started to go downhill. The prices raised with no additional value. The amount of meat in their sandwiches decreased and overall the quality of the restaurant and food has gone down. Unfortunately this is the trend I have seen with many Iranian restaurants. Over time they decrease the quality to make more money and this kills the business. Too bad we are losing this one too.
