Steveston Cannery Cafe

Fantastic spot for fresh and healthy food. We had tasty sandwiches made on the spot – choice of bread, at least a dozen different fillings (tuna salad, turkey, black forest ham, chicken salad, etc.), and then fresh veggies and dill pickles on the side. I chose the Avocado & Cream Cheese sandwich and BF had the Black Forest Ham with mayo. They were about $ 7.50 each, some a bit more (shrimp), some a bit less (vegetarian).
I’ve also been for breakfast and they had some really great options. I got a veggie omelette with cheese and it was filled with full slices of tomato, mushroom, avocado, and fresh onion rings (not chopped up into tiny indecipherable pieces). So with each bite I actually tasted which vegetables were there. My friends were all satisfied by their breakfasts – English Muffin egg sandwich and the 2-​egg with bacon or sausage breakfast. With coffee, my breakfast was under $ 10.

Today i was walking around Steveston playing Ingress and decided I need a spot of lunch while i charged my phone on the portable power supply I have. I decided in the heat to stop somewhere that did nice tasty sandwiches and I’d heard the Cannery Café was good.
It’s bigger on the inside than you’d expect from looking at it, so when you go in the size is surprising. There’s lots of tables, and a nice simple menu above the counter where they make your food. I ordered the smoked salmon bagel, but on sourdough because bagels don’t really agree with the disk that flips a little in my jaw when I eat them.
The sandwich had salmon, cream cheese, LOTS of capers (i mentioned how much i like them and she just loaded it up with them for me), sprouts, fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion. You don’t notice the onion much which is good, and the ingredients were all very fresh. I paired it with a nice pear cider, although if i hadn’t noticed those I would have had one of the Boylans sodas next to them.
Their patio was perfect — there was a choice between under a shady umbrella or in the sun, so i went with reading my book in the sun. You don’t notice the street noise very much even though it was right on Moncton on a busy Saturday afternoon. The sandwich was just the right amount to be comfortably filling and the cider was crisply delicious on such a hot sunny day. I will definitely enjoy a sandwich there again in the future.

Great food and friendly service. My boyfriend and I are «Once Upon A Time» fans and happened to realize that the show is filmed near Vancouver so we decided to drop by before driving back down to Seattle. The food was delicious and quick. The mocha was so yummy and decadent. Too bad we couldn’t stay one more day they were filming the show the next day. If we’re ever back in the area I’d definitely come back!

Charming Café!
Wandered in looking for brunch on Saturday.
Told they stopped serving breakfast at 11:30! Which didn’t impress me.
Overall, good.

BEST BANANA BREAD EVER! Great coffee, warm friendly folks — and they have the Granny’s Café sign up as well for the Storybrooke Series. They need to sell the banana bread by the loaf. Oh — and not sissy sized slices — good sized slices, fresh and delicious! If you’re in Steveston, you have to stop by and get a coffee and slice of banana bread!!! Loved it!

Looking for a great café in Steveston? Look no further.
This place is great. Always accommodating, always greeted with a smile and special recognition.
Although I’ve not been able to try everything on the menu — the items I have tried have been great!
My favorite being the tuna melt with salad topped with there own house made dressing.
A great spot for lunch in Steveston!

The prime ‘old town’ location and obvious untapped potential is the saving grace of this bright little café in the heart of the Steveston Village. For 16 years this owner and family operated business has been serving basic, old-​school type dishes, including hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries and cafeteria style sammies made up to order. Breakfasts are also served.
Priced just right but somehow missing the mark for quality or any outstanding feature, sadly I can’t see any draw for a return customer. With plenty of tourists to keep them in business, this may not be an economic issue but it’s just a shame. It could be so much more.
Hardwood flooring and wooden beams, fresh paint on the walls, photographs of historic Steveston give the place some ambiance, but the plastic deck chairs cheapen the effect.
Outdoor seating is also available.
