Blue Edge Cafe

My friend said they change owner, so I go there. Just try their cappuccino and muffin, it is much yummy than before.

Waited 45 minutes for a panini. And it ended up being the wrong one, but I was sick of waiting, so ate it anyway. It tasted alright, though! For a weekend, they didn’t have enough staff, I guess! Not recommended…

Regular ice cream shop with drinks and ice cream. No wow factor but the ice cream is $ 2 cheaper than some doors down. Lots of space, however, this is the only thing that they really have going for them at the moment. Can’t say that my best friend and I were totally impressed with what they had. The people working there were nice.

Let me keep this short, she took a frozen already made hamburger put it in the microwave than give it to me with some corn chips… I left the store and threw it in the nearest trash can. But hey the cookie was alright.

Would never go back. Breakfast here yesterday with 5 others. Microwaved packaged waffles, watery oatmeal, the wrong panini, bland latte, microwaved eggs with molten butter for the toast for which no choice of bread was given. Oh my. Indifferent service and real cutlery only if you ask. Have to wait inside to get your number called. Yikes! How do they stay in business? (and i am sorry i wrote in a tip when I payed.) You have to get everything yourself and I did not see any trays.

Flat tasting coffee.
It’s advertised as organic coffee. That’s OK to me, as long as it’s got some body to it. There wasn’t any in this regular brew. At least it wasn’t sour or bitter. Didn’t care for it.
The space was OK and is convenient for seawall walkers if you want something to go. They also sell baked goods along with ice cream. But, what is strange is that there are two ice cream retailers sharing this space. Sara’s ice cream and the ice cream/​gelato that they sell at the main cashier.

Haven’t had anything other than the gelato. Yes, they have Mondo Gelato here. Haven’t tried many of the flavors at Blue Edge, but the hedgehog is always more than perfect.

One star because I can’t give it no stars.
This place is truly awful. I sauntered in here with my boyfriend on a lazy Saturday afternoon while we were taking a stroll along the seawall. It was sunny and beautiful outside, and we could see from afar that they had ice cream and smoothies. We decided to stop in for a snack.
The ice cream was overpriced. $ 10.50 gets you 5 scoops in a bowl… But the scoops are so small you’d be foolish not to just go pick up a tub of Ben & Jerry’s somewhere else. It isn’t very good either, almost tasteless.
I ordered a cinnamon bun, and it was so stale that I had to take it back. My plastic fork wouldn’t even go through it… It was solid as a rock. I tried a bite and it was crunchy… I’m not usually the type to complain or send something back… But that was seriously unacceptable.
I brought it back and the lady behind the counter told me that was normal! I was so disappointed. She told me that they were all like that… So I just got a raspberry muffin (which was also pretty stale) and a small coffee and paid the 50¢ difference.
The muffin was okay but the coffee was disgusting. It was very weak, and tasted more like warm water with a hint of coffee. I ended up just throwing it out.
My boyfriend went to the bathroom and came back claiming it was filthy… so I didn’t even bother with it myself.
I have no idea how this place stays in business when it is so horrible. Save your time and money and stay far away!

Pretty generous of me considering i only had a strawberry mango smoothie. Maybe there was a miscommunication, but I specifically asked for no purée or added sugar, but sure tasted like it; oh well, fine, it was good.
nice, space, high ceilings always works for me, and of course, the view. You can probably stay here for a few hours and not get hassled lol.
Free wifi if you ask nicely for the password.

Went there on a Monday morning to grab a couple of coffees and a wrap. Only a couple of other people in there, but it still took a good ¹⁵⁄₂₀ minutes to get the stuff. Service very friendly, but really not worth the wait. Wouldn’t bother going back.

Can’t beat the location and great view. I like their teas. Also like their chicken samosa… much better and much less saltier then the ones at Urban Fare nearby. Make sure you ask them to heat it up longer and at higher heat… tastes better that way. They seem to welcome suggestions for improvements, that I like. I work in the CH area so its nice to have a few options for food.

Creamy havarti and sweet Thai chili sauce? Who knew they could make such sweet music together! The dip was originally meant for the very random sprinkling of tortilla chips that came as a side with my turkey club panini, but it did equally well as a sandwich dip.
Great location, friendly people who work there, awesome views. Great for people watching on sunnier days.

Coal Harbour: Land of people who bleed money. I was starving after an action packed water fight flash mob in Stanley Park. I was craving Japa Dog but couldn’t find them. So I walked into here and ordered up the chicken wrap. Was filling, but chicken was very bland even after I tried to rescue it with sauce.
I would’ve gave them just 1 star but +1 bonus is awarded to them for selling Jamaican blue mountain coffee and a kickass view of coal harbour.

Blue Edge Café looked kinda cool from the outside. It’s at Coal Harbour and the view and patio is nice, but the food isn’t great at all. The samosa was soggy and had not taste. I didn’t find anything tempting in the menu at all.

The official name of the café is the «Blue Edge Café» but their sign says «Blue Edge Organic Café.» I find this amusing — particularly since when you wander in their chalk board menu says, «Not all of our menu items are organic. We apologize for the inconvenience.» Come on. Which ones? At least fully disclose so we know!
Make up your mind! Either take the extra step (and expense) and go full on organic, or don’t try to portray yourselves as organic to pull people in and then have a weasel sentence on the chalk board that could mean that nothing except for one raisin in one muffin is organic.
That said, the location is convenient — right across the cul de sac from the Coal Harbour community centre. So it made for a quick and easy stop after a good workout.
I had the turkey panini, which was served nicely grilled to the right level of crunch. The turkey was really nothing special though — seemed like the same type you would get at Safeway unfortunately (and my guess it was not organic or free range or anything particularly healthy). The veggies on the sandwich were fresh. It came with a side of Thai chili sauce to dip into — that was a nice unique touch. Want to bet the Thai chili sauce is not one of the organic items? Hm…
Also had some tortilla chips (organic!!!) — which I had never thought of dipping into Thai chili sauce before. So a bonus point for hooking me onto that new application. Thank you.
Overall I wouldn’t rush over to the seawall to return, but if I am in the area and hungry I would stop in again. But please change the sign and stop pretending to be an organic café! Or at the very least put a star on the menu next to the items that are actually organic — that seems like a fair solution, no?
