The Anchor Eatery in West Vancouver

Very friendly staff and delicious and healthy acai bowls :-) I am very satisfied as the quantity is large and the price is reasonable. I will visit again. Thank you

This place use to may favourite for years to get healthy options on north shore. I don t know if there s new management, but the last several times everything tasted really bad. I sadly don t think I can go back.

Squirrel balls and açai bowls are

Great gf muffins and lunch goodies. We stop here at least once a week and head to the beach with our picnic

I know some VERY distasteful things on the way business is conducted here. Not somewhere I want to support nor will ever be going back to

Great place to eat and has amazing vibes! Staff is super friendly and cheerful. I love their smoothies and açai bowls, I would highly recommend!!

Complete green lunacy here! You re buying a smoothy but they don t provide a straw! Well, if you guys so green , then why do you sell it in a plastic cup? What s next, a soup without spoon or not a wrapped sandwich? I had to get the straw for my drink in a next door caffe. I ve been a loyal customer for a while but that silly no straws policy ended our relations.

I bought this muffin in a rush and as soon as I opened up the package, it smelled like uncooked dough. It was horrid and as soon as I took a bite, I knew it was not completely cooked through. There wasn t much of a taste too and that TASTE of dough still lingered in the muffin. 0/10 and I don t recommend this muffin at alllll!

King Kong smoothie was tasty. $15.70 before tip.

Ordered smoothie and asked if they have straw, never in my life have received more attitude. Couldn t believe the sass on the worker. Won t be coming back here again.

Thanks for getting rid of your straws! #sippycupsarebetter

Delicious smoothies and snacks with lovely staff. If we lived here it would become our local!!!

Nice variety of natural selections, helpful staff too!

Nice little seaside stop in West Van. Food is delicious and I recommend any of the Açai Bowls the Breakfast sandwiches were good as well. The staff is super friendly and always smiling which is makes the place really inviting.

This is grilled cheese.. where is the cheese ?? It s even more hurtful to know that they charge 10 bucks for just 2 price of bread. Worst cafe ever . I m never coming again

Great cozy place, but slightly on the pricier side for the smoothies.

Best and healthiest causal lunch in West Van! If you go here make sure to try the açai bowls, smoothies and mexi wraps. I also love that you can customize any drink

Had the Hana smoochie and it was DELISH. If you love kombucha it s a must!

Is very good coffee restaurant always was my pleasure to get my drink or food there but there is a girl with pink hair she talking to me like a boss and so rude , she doesn t know how to respect and talk to customers It happened to me 3 times! Unfortunately I ll say bye to this restaurant because of her Thanks other team

Really solid vegan breakfast burrito. The sauce and veggie choices were amazing

Lovely staff who are passionate about the food they serve. Their cranberry quinoa gluten free muffins are beyond delicious and my absolute favourite.

Preferred to go food in North Shore and amazing GF options. Great service. Would love to be able to get recyclable straws and bring back smoothies cup (when I forget mine)

Dont come 1 minute early they cant handle the pressure or starting before their shift.

Hands down my favourite place. I make a point to stop in every time I drive that way even if its a little out of my way. The food and snacks are great! The banana blueberry muffin is my go to fave! The staff are fantastic! All around beautiful experience and humans!

Wonderful place to stop for a bite and a smoothie! Absolutely essential Vancouver cafe with the kindest free loving staff. I highly recommend stopping here if you are a fan of fresh/thoughtful/well sourced foods and enjoy the company of wonderful people who love their jobs. I highly recommend the Berry Nice (with Oat Milk) and the Tuna Diablo Cannot wait to visit again.

Okay, I love eating vegan. But at this eatery the food was super lame. The expensive smoothy was fine. But we tried two vegan dish options and they were (1) inedible -- we literally threw it in the garbage while still in the place (not a scene, just took advantage of the compost in the way out) and (2) edible but just barely. Just a big nope from me.

I love love LOVE this place so so much.

Really great food and people. I love this place!!!

Sorry to be overly harsh but they got lemonade wrong, even after calling it original gangster. Lemon, sugar and optional mint.

The ham breakfast wrap I just had was a 10/10!

Very unique breakfast options here, all healthy, and lots of vegan choices. I really loved their energy bites. I would come here often if I lived close by.

Best açai bowls, smoothies and many options for people with dietary restrictions! The staff is awesome, super personable and care about the customers! The anchor eatery is irreplaceable!

Pastries and bowls were

Such a nice, warm and cozy eatery with lots of options in wraps , sandwiches , gluten free sweets and the best place to get fresh juices and smoothies! All the staff are friendly specially bean is amazing:) The value and quality is so good! Happy to be a regular!

All Western-style dining, but currently only for takeout and outside dining; no reception in the hall, there are some flaws!

Yummy food & excellent quality?!!

The quality of food is generally good. But the staff seems to be nice to people they know but hit or miss with new customers. Prices are high, especially the smoothies

The vegan,gluten free cornmeal muffin was so good!!! I need to come back just for that

I had the vegetarian lox toast and it was amazing! Professional and friendly service, I will definitely be back.

Healthy and delicious.

Really good coffee and a few nice vegan options like the tofu breakfast burrito!

Limited menu for vegetarian eating. Friendly staff.

I can t be too critical of this place because the good does outweigh the bad. However, prices are on the high side for relatively reasonable food offerings that aren t particularly stand out. The location and venue is good and the back patio is amazing in the spring and summer. Definitely bring your wallet and be prepared for some entitled west Vancouver locals.

Amazing acai bowls, smoothie bowls, and smoothies but very few seats.

Excellent food. Excellent coffee. Best little neighbour joint.

Simply the best. Period. I want a t-shirt!

Ive tried and love the smoothies, buckwheat tuna sandwich, lox bagel, chia pudding, and french toast!

Great selection of fresh and delicious smoothies and bowls. And friendly service. Great place to grab a refreshing takeaway for the beach, park, or home.

Would rather go to McDonalds

Ive been there few times and never been disappointed. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, I also highly recommend the Açaì bowl +++

Amazing juices, smoothies and sandwiches. I even buy their home made granola because its so good. Overpriced but thats just west van for you. The staff is really nice and friendly, always busy at work making everything from raw, natural ingredients! I love feeling like I am eating something healthy every time I go here. Being one of my go-to breakfast spots I wish they had better seating but they make do with the space they have. Being such a health conscious place I think its really important they get a recycling program going, I cringe every time I have to throw plastic or a bottle in the one trash can!!

Its a good little place

Wonderful customer service and knowledgeable staff. Our family of 7 including people who would never think of going to a vegan eatery enjoyed the food. We had a variety of smoothies, oatmeal, and a salmon lox bagel. (Yes there are some non-vegan choices). Wonderful way to start the day!

Best part of Ambleside

I asked for a drink with ginger, they told me they can add ginger to the green juice. 5 minutes later another person came to my table and gave me the juice and said: we are out of ginger from this morning. Is that ok with you? Couldn t they ask me before giving me the juice that they were out of ginger? I paid for something that I didn t get. This is what happens when a manager or owner takes off for weekend to enjoy the sunshine and leaves some students to manage the business. Will never go back....

Great smoothie bowls, good prices and thoughtful ingredients

So tasty, fun and nourishing. I would have lunch there all the time if I could.

I wasnt expecting to receive fast food convenience, but I would expect that a simple smoothie (which isnt very good BTW, and I think she forgot the frozen part of it because its warm, and she was even reading the recipe! ) should not take more than 2 minutes especially since there werent any other customers in front of me. If I could take back my tip I would! After taking my order, the person who served me this morning carried on a conversation with a co-worker, jumped to answer the phone and take a Door Dash order - when the co-worker could have answered the phone and then when the Door Dash guy came in proceeded to converse with him....THEN she made my warm smoothie. If I could I wouldnt give you any stars, but I have to at least give you one to post this :(

I love The Anchor! I stop by everytime in West Van or driving by to catch the ferry to or from Nanaimo. I love that you can swing by and order super healthy, delicious eats on the quick like and keep on going on your way. The chia pudding is unlike any Ive had before and Ive been known to double fist it- thats the level of delicious Im talking about people!Ive been visiting since they opened and have always been friendly and gone over & above the call.of duty to ensure Ive had a pleasant experience. Thanks Anchor, cant wait to visit again!

Such a nice place!Everything fresh and delicious.

I bought a tuna bowl for my daughter and ordered a spinach wrap for lunch on 27th Dec. The $18 tuna with avocado was passable but my $10 wrap lunch was awful - totally tasteless stodge. Couldnt finish it Never again.

Delicious locally ran eatery offering a variety of healthy alternatives. Quality options from breakfast wraps, fruit bowls, fresh juice/ smoothies to superfood smoothies, and delicious baked goods. Great location, tuna poke bowls now offered as well!

Going out for vegan lunch usually means settling for a veggie burger, a veggie sandwich (cucumber, tomato, lettuce, hold the cheese), or some other unimaginative, hold the meat and cheese but pay full price, dish. Not awesome. I usually opt for Indian or Chinese instead, or simply skip it all together. And then I stopped in at The Anchor Eatery in West Van. I could not believe how good my Avocado toast (with sauerkraut), and the big bang salad bowl were. Simple ingredients, expertly and imaginatively combined, made for a truly memorable lunch. It was so good I was even moved to take a couple of photos, which I rarely do. The staff were excellent and really seemed to care about what they were doing. Kudos and thanks! I will be back!

Their menu and everything else is great, but on my last visit I saw the staff prepare the Nula bowl with bare hands. No gloves, nothing, and not sure if they washed hands before putting the strawberries and bananas in the bowl. And this was also the same person who took my order and was answer phone calls while preparing the dish. Too bad coz I kind of like the place but question their hygiene standards.

Best açai bowls around

Love coming here in the mornings for their vegan samosas. They have a wide selection of juices that I love as well.

Try Açai bowl here ! You never regret

They have the best açai bowls ever! Theyre super thick and so delicious. The location is cute and super close to the beach, theyve also got a nice little patio out around the back. Also, the staff are so sweet! Love this place.

$20 poke bowl :/ Nice enough staff but $20 for a salty bland ass poke bowl gimme a break

Funky monkey, green machine, buckwheat tuna diablo, vice bowl, brownie cubs, squirrel balls! The list of delicious food goes on. Best place in West van if you want to feel good about yourself after a meal.

My best friend showed me this place a couple weeks ago! And the smoothie bowls are incredible. They are so refreshing and filling that I generally don t need to eat for many hours after I have one of them!

amazing food and good prices. best acai bowls ever !

Love their juices. Always made fresh to order and they have a great set of gluten free and vegan options. The fresh baking every morning is fantastic. Great for a quick coffee or a lazy lunch. Theres not much parking but if youre looking for a spot there are a few sneaky spots at the back!

Amazing food, juices and smoothies run by two passionate women.

My new favourite spot for açai bowls. I love the place, energy, and atmosphere. Food is quality. They care about the little things and that s what matters the most when it comes to healthy food. As much as I love the place, prices can be lower.

Sooo good

Nice gluten free choices.

Delicious shakes and poke bowls

This place has a lot of healthy options including juices, smoothies, acai bowls and more. One of the best things about this place is that it also has a lot of vegan options! Great cozy atmosphere too.

Good food, okay prices.

Great place to start a day!

A great little place with wonderful food.

Good stuff but over priced. Typical west van. they close early usually especially on weekends, which I think for their juices and acai bowls is lost business in this heat

This is one of my favourite places to eat! Great vibes awesome acai bowls and juices!

Trendy and fun

no idea

Excellent butter chicken wrap.

Cozy place with nice staff and genuine, delicious food.

Healthy and delicious. Great for a quick bite or to eat on the cute deck around the back.

Another all-day breakfast place. Love em! In this case, I really like the vegetable sandwich. Even though its not a breakfast item. Yum!

While we line up, a customer came to the cashier and told and showed the staff her bowl has hair in it... We ordered and paid for our tuna bowls and we were later told they were out of tuna.. but it was only 2pm in the afternoon. We drove there just because of their good customer review on the tuna bowl. A bit disappointed that we didnt get to try it.

Fun place, great staff, good food and cute merchandise!

a little expensive in my opinion, but they always have great kombucha and i LOVE their veggie samosas and the mexi wrap

Service with a smile. Nice locally run breakfast and lunch spot. Food quality is high and I can always rely on them to get a quality meal on a busy day. Acai bowls are amazing.

Great staff and good quality food.

Amazing place

Best sandwiches and smoothies

Love the breakfasts at this place!

I mistakenly placed an order at another restaurant and walked in to pick it up as Anchor Eatery was closing up, but the owner was so kind and made me my sandwich anyway. They are always so accommodating and dedicated to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, healthy selection with helpful and friendly staff.

This place is amazing, food is delicious and the staff are pretty rad as well
