Reviews of Wooden Spoon (Coffee Shop)

Ryley Esler

Had the most amazing experience, food was perfect! Best eggs I’ve ever had, stellar potatoes and washed it down with a solid solid Caesar. The only issue was with the bartender Connor, he was so great it made the food seem garbage in comparison.

Ireland Kay

Great food and amazing service once you're seated but understaffed due to covid i think. Went to the restaurant 30mins after opening and had to wait 1.5 hours.. not sure if too many tables are set aside for reservations? Or so many people left their names between opening and when we got there, but definitely would not recommend going there without reservation.

Danielle Jacobs

First time coming in for one of their burger nights! Didnt even know they were open at night on the weekends. I had the cajun chicken burger and truffle fries, best cajun burger I've had yet! Our server Sim was fantastic! She recommended the jam sour and southpaw drinks, i would come back for the drinks alone. We had such a fun time, Sim was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the menu since one of us had dietary restrictions. Sim, if you see this, well be back just for you! Overall amazing experience and perfect service. Havent had that good of a dining experience for a long time, honestly.

Craig Mitchell

First time ever at wooden spoon and I loved it! Our server was Conner and he really contributed to the fun atmosphere. He was attentive and his jokes made for a memorable experience! The food also was delicious, definitely will be coming back.

Michelle Chandra

If I could give 10 stars I would. Conner with an er is a beauty. He kept it real. Service was quick and attentive! He had our group of girls cackling with his banter. The food was great but even if it wasn’t, I’d recommend this establishment solely for the service Conner provided.

Emmanuella Dennis

Just moved nearby and this very quickly became our weekend brunch. Our server Nick is phenomenal and always creates a comfortable atmosphere. PLEASE KEEP THE SO-CAL BENNY. It’s the missing piece of your Benny options.

amazing brunch hidden gem in White Rock! Known for their popular The Sweet & Salty. 2 pieces of thick-cut cheddar grilled French toast, topped with 2 medium poached egg, hollandaise sauce and drizzled with sweet maple syrup! True to the dish name, had an awesome melody of the sweet and salty flavour! The banana bread was also really good, it came with a little side of banana spread that was delicious to spread on top. Definitely recommend making a reservation prior to avoid the wait time, because my friend and I went around 11:00 in the morning and we had to wait around 1hr before we got a table. Sweet and Salty - $14.95 banana bread and yogurt - $11.95

jeslee hinola

Loved the food and the ambience. Food arrived quickly and the staff was attentive. Our waitress, Krista, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was efficient, warm and friendly. One member of our party has dietary restrictions and she was able to advise them about what was appropriate for them to eat. Will definitely be back!

Yonghyun Song

First let me say The Wooden Spoon is amazing. The food is delightful, modern, creative and accessable. Fresh ingredients, thoughtful combinations, excellent preparation and presentation. Very high standards and great central location. Servers are wonderful, friendly and attentive even when busy (which is almost always). Why did I deduct a star? Two issues: 1) seating: the chairs are hard and uncomfortable, spacing far too tight, poorly arranged and inexplicably tiny (make your tables larger and people will be more inclined to fill them with more food and drinks). 2) value: small portions and high prices. Yes we get that you're in White Rock and accordingly rents are higher...no excuse for a $9 Ceasar or $8 French press. Benny's at $16 would be ok for larger portions and special ingredients, but for pulled pork? Nope. One last comment; remember your bread and butter customer in this locale is seniors, or at least 50+ (yes I know you love the hipster vibe but come on have some cushions or padded seats...even young folks and professionals will enjoy something softer). Much love of course and best wishes for a great new year! Thanks for being a White Rock must-vist (on the regular)!

Azi Jahan

There are many pics from the food and menu that you can refer to, I just wanted to add some other points. The service of our host was amazing, Nik. He was friendly and caring for real, not fake???? Restaurant facilities for children and babies are prepared. And the food's quality was great. Coffee, for coffee lovers like me, wasn't satisfying, I'm still looking to have my Starbucks after here????

Sarah Woods

10/10 Best place I've eaten since moving to Vancouver 5 years ago. Staff are incredible! Love the layout and décor of the place. Food is out of this world. Not only is there great presentation but the combination of flavours is well thought out

Kristian Rosales

The food was amazing and Krista the server was too. The staff and atmosphere was welcoming.The spoon donut holes…Forget About It!!! Wow…Triple A…All the way. We will definitely be back soon. Cheers.

James Adamson

Not many brunch places like this around. Not a huge menu but a lot of different takes on classic breakfasts like egg Benedict! Great drinks and also good sides. The breakfast sandwich is really good! Messy, but good!

Laurie Jean

The food is outstanding and worth the price. Music was ridiculously loud and couldn’t be turned down because it is apparently preset. Front door staff very pleasant but did not check COVID ID.

Jillian Brook

Honestly not great. Everyone raves about it, so I keep giving it another chance... But every time the food is burnt, or bland, and over priced. Every time I go its a disappointment. I'll probably go back again, and I hope you change my opinion... :) ????

Jaden Mathew

Came in a few days ago, didn't know they were open for dinner on weekends!! Thanks to our amazing server Sim who introduced me to the jam sour - so good. It seemed really busy but she took care of us which was appreciated as it was our first time out after a while. will for sure be back to try brunch :)

I’ve been here once before and it was good. However, me and my friend were disappointed today. We asked for black pepper and we never received it. We understand a busy day but I did see some good service in other table. Food is particularly over cooked, and a bit over priced (couldn’t get half full). I was highly recommended my friend to dine in here now I feel embarrassed.

Jasmine M

Great breakfast/brunch spot. Have been this location countless times and have tried most items on their menu and loved each and every one of them. Never disappointed in their quality of service or product delivered. Their bourbon Cesar is also pretty solid, a must try if still on menu.

Dina

Went for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The portions are big, the service was outstanding and the food was so flavorful! Will have to go back again for brunch.

Sunny Yerra

One of my favorite brunch spots. They’ve got a bar and a whole lot of brunch options. The French press coffee is great, if you’re like me and wanna mix it up with a shot of B52. Their menu changes time to time so try and get ahead of what you’re gonna order by seeing their latest menu online. Nans After Dark is delish and their hash is awesome too.

Ati Jahan

Not just a great experience from atmosphere the service was unique and awesome. Nick did an amazing hospitality and he makes sure we enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much, we definitely will back

Jinny Chung

I like this location. The team here is outgoing and very helpful. They will go out of there way to help you and find an item. It feels like a good team led store. It is clean and organized. The lighting is great in this location. Like any retail store you can order an item online and have it sent to your favourite or convenient location.

Justin Lam

Came here for brunch, sat outside on the patio. They have tall heaters and umbrellas spread out even in the patio area so you’ll feel strangely warm and dry even when it’s drizzling and breezy outside - that’s definitely a plus, especially if you’re still wary of indoor dining in close proximity to other people. Food was solid, servers were polite and helpful.

Ryan Van Heck

Used to work here, been eating at the spoon long before and after my stint as an expo. This restaurant has remained fantastic all the while. It is a super fun atmosphere that White Rock dearly needs, the food is fantastic, overall vibe of the place is unmatched in the area. Really cant go wrong with any of the menu items and staff are always a pleasure to deal with. Highly highly recommend!!!

JB CHU

What a gem! This cute little spot could be easily missed if you didn't get referred, or find it by searching for "The Best Brunch in White Rock." This really is one of the best brunch spots, not only in White Rock, but in the entire Lower Mainland. The quality of the food is incredible and it is cooked to perfection. If your breakfast choice has toast, you have to try the strawberry jam!! Stop reading reviews and go the Wooden Spoon.

Jasbir Roopra

Super yummy food and great service!!!!! Our waiter was named Conner, and he was super funny and sweet. Definitely was a highlight of our meal. The food was astronomical as well! I would absolutely recommend this place!

Stella Kauryzhka

Had brunch today at The Wooden Spoon. Found out about this place through Instagram. The food is def Instagram worthy. We both decided to go with Benny's for brunch. Atmosphere is nice and staff was very friendly. Food was good. The herbed potatoes have great flavour, the Benny's were nice. Neither of us were fans of the grain salad that was served with them but ate them anyway cause lol they looked full of stuff that was prob good for you. I do want to go back some evening and try out the burgers.

Jeff Ross

GO HERE! EAT HERE! WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS, just goooo!!! So this place I love. Their hours kind of suck BUT their food is so good that I wont take away a star just because of that. I mainly just order a burger because I'm a burger person. I've had the soup and grilled cheese sandwich as well. You've never had a grilled cheese like theirs before. Also they have this cute little kids area in the back, as a parent I appreciate the extra mile. Somewhere to just step aside with your possibly fussy child.

Legendary_Poser

My best friend and I made a reservation and were seated within two minutes. Our server (Krista) was incredibly friendly and personable, took our orders immediately. We loved the food! I highly recommend the Bay benny. Such an amazing experience, would highly recommend.

Phil

An amazing spot for brunch! Their food has been consistently good, the Sweet and Salty and Farmers breakfast haven’t disappointed. They also have a delicious freshly squeezed OJ.

Amrit Hundal

Can only appreciate the creative take on food that The Wooden Spoon has. First of all, Texas Holdem is one of the best eggs benedict I have ever tried. Juicy and tasty! Also, try The Wooden eggs benedict and Chickpea Fritter. Big portions and friendly staff.

RItika Randhawa

First time try. While the brunch menu is creative, can't say either my hubby or I would order again. Although our son loved it. The one thing that floored me was 26.85 for 3 juices! Ridiculous, my fault for not checking before ordering.

Emma Laferriere-Enns

Great food and atmosphere. The menu definitely has something for everyone. Highly recommend the bacon jam benny. Krista was an awesome host/server!

Claire Wang

Seriously awesome breakfast! Place was stupid busy, and we manage to get seats just before they closed. Glad we did, because these meals were out of this world awesome! Hope you enjoy the pics! If my review helped, please give me a thumbs up ???? Cheers ????

Mimi So

Highly disappointed in the poor service and disorganization due to the over reliance on technology. Attended for weekend brunch, was told the wait would be 40 minutes. Ended up waiting for 1 hours and 15 minutes due to the system crashing. We also just opted for take out since they didn’t know when we would be seated. There was a long line and 1/2 the people were not informed of the system crash. I tried the bay benny which was delicious. The salty and sweet brunch was also just as delicious!

G Nijjer

Had some relatives from out of town a few days ago who wanted a "White Rock experience" so I brought them to White Rock. I had a few suggestions on where to go but I had never been here before so we decided to try something new. Had an excellent experience thanks to Sim who gave some good suggestions on other activities in the area as well as on-point food and drink recommendations.

Hanz Cawili

It was my first time dining at Wooden Spoon and it exceeded my expectations! Our server, Krista was very friendly, easy-going, and definitely made the experience very fun. If you haven't been I highly recommend the "Nan's after Dark" french toast if you want something sweet!

Chad Block

Fabulous favorite local breakfast spot. Love it when the details on the plate are a cut above and a bit more special. Great casual vibe and fun staff. It was a treat to be served by Connor today - lots of laughs!

Denver Smith

I've heard so many great things about this place and finally was able to go for breakfast while visiting from out of town. Our server was Krista and she was so friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. She had great recommendations for us when we couldn't choose on what to order off the menu. I ordered the Sppon Huevos and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to going back there when we are back in the west coast.

Jun kim

Delicious with great portions, we went there for Christmas eve and the service was wonderful. Was definitely worth the hour drive.

Khalil Houssaini

Great service and great food. Menu threw me off a little with the selections. Caesar came with bacon in it, but didn't say that on the menu. That being said their take on French toast is pretty yummy. Their smoked beef hash was also very flavorful. The space has great vibes, with lots of seating indoor and out. Best of all, they take reservations where a lot of brunch places don't.

Zayne Khan

Great little place for brunch. Awesome gluten free options. My only complaint is about the service. My bill was $74. I put down $100. I was asked if I wanted change and said yes. However, the waiter never came back. The service was definitely not deserving of a 35% tip!!! I really feel that servers should not be asking you if you want change. Bring the change and the customer will leave what they find appropriate.

This was an excellent spot for breakfast or brunch or lunch! Very cool menu items, drinks and extremely friendly staff. Accommodating for kids but cool enough for people of all ages. Great French press coffee but no espresso drinks.

ANN RLT

I have heard that this is a good spot for brunch. Unfortunately on the day we went, their system crashed. We had been waiting for 40 minutes. They were unable to serve us after this. It is pretty sad that a place is so reliant on technology that they were unable to cook food and take payment by cash. Truely disappointed that they couldn't did not tell us in person and let us wait around to be not served

JESSICA

Excellent place for brunch, but they’re now open Friday and Saturdays 4-10pm for dinner! My friend and I came Friday evening for a happy hour burger (pretty basic burger but tasty), onion rings (excellent, but would ask for some type of sauce next time) and we split a margarita pitcher (very yum). Sim was an amazing server - checkbacks, friendly, and let us girls gab but still gave us her attention and wonderful service. We stayed for a few hours and at no point did we feel ignored - we will be back, Sim!! Patio in the front and back: heaters, patio lights, and picnic bench seating make it very homey. Dog friendly! They will validate parking for 2hrs in the lot in the pack, but there’s ample street parking in the neighborhood.

Justine Roo

You can't consider having brunch in White Rock without considering the Wooden Spoon. It has easily risen to one of the top brunch spots in the city and for good reason. Their menu is a beautiful balance of homey classics and creativity. The variety makes it difficult to order the same thing twice. Come prepared to spend a little bit of money. I always start with a mimosa but then want a coffee because the coffee they serve is so delicious, then brunch, then another mimosa just because and so on...

Carlos Pan

Had a yummy lunch with a friend here last week. Our server Daniel gave us the BEST service AND the burgers are absolutely fabulous! Highly recommend this restaurant!

David Ng

An excellent local brunch spot. The wait times can be long, especially during peak brunch time. I went this past Sunday at 2pm. Can’t call it brunch but we got a seat immediately, as it was close to their 3pm closing time. I also never knew this but they validate parking in the back parking lot, just ask. I had the SoCal Benny, the house-made jalapeño cornbread was absolutely delicious.

Wayne Hogg

Set in uptown White Rock across from the Whaling wall this small bistro serves up good food with friendly staff. The food is good but served on a wooden platter( board). This can lead to a messy containment problem which detracts from the overall meal experience. Overall a fun place to go for a casual meal.

Anna-Lisa Nguyen

Very good. No complaints at all. Was very busy but they had patio space that's heated

Shinyoung Kang

We arrived precisely at 9:00am and the place was empty. Then BAM, 10am hits and suddenly people are lining up at the door. Be warned, this place fills FAST. I had the Sweet and Salty brunch (french toast with maple bacon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce) $14.99. My friend had The Wooden Benny $15.99. Then we ordered a coffee to share. We stayed there for about 2 hours, and even tho the place was filling up the waitress did not push us to leave. Service is fantastic. Pricing is fair given its location (and being the only local brunch place). They validate your parking if you eat there. 30 minute walk from there to White Rock Beach.

Jonathan

Benny & Bueger was so good! Also the coffee was one of my favorites!!! No doubts that the very kind servers also make this place so special! I had great time in this restaurant!

Harmeet Boparai

Trendy rustic and cozy place. Enjoyed the weekend brunch after a 20 minute wait. Service was great. Good coffee and healthy options of classic dishes.

Amir Khaledi

This place is very lovely! We stumbled across it while coming through White Rock and we're very pleased. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff and food were incredible! We ordered a sweet and a savory brunch to try both and they both were delicious. We sucked it down in minutes it was so good. The only reason I give 4 not 5 stars is that we ordered mimosas and coffee which were just okay. The mimosas seemed like they had lots of hops, almost closer to a beer. Still yummy, just not what we expected. I would absolutely recommend this place for a brunch stop!

Candice swanson

Always great. Indulgent comfort food or vegan... Both available and delicious. Accommodating of my celiac daughter. Great rustic/farmhouse aesthetic. Chamomile smash is incredible. Thanks for the excellent service Krista!

Yunny Hou

So glad to have this great brunch spot in Surrey. The portion was good and everything was executed very nicely. Chicken and waffle the chicken was very juicy and tender, the waffle was more on the soft mushy side. Truffle Mac & cheese was really good too but would be better if it’s less running. French press coffee was so good too. Definitely worth trying if willing to wait for a bit. They don’t take reservation during weekend, and the generally the wait time is an hour. They take down your phone number and message you when ur table is ready.

Sharlyn Abogado

Went with friends without a lunchtime reservation but fortunately the staff were very accommodating and fit us in. All three of us ordered the "Smoked sandwich" it was "Delicious. Really a great tasting sandwich" ???? well done Wooden Spoon

Charn Thandhi

Great place to go for brunch. The 2 times I've been there with my family, I've ordered their Farmer's Breakfast and loved it! Definitely a place I recommend ????????

Pooya Mohammadi

Wooden spoon is located in downtown, White Rock. Its around 45 minutes far from Vancouver and one of the best options for breakfast and brunch. ⏱ Waiting time on weekends is around 45 minutes. I suggest you to book even on weekdays. ????‍♀️ The staff is friendly and try to provide optimum level of service. ❗️Your order is prepared rather fast which is a good feature specially when you’re hungry???? Food recommendations: * Definitely order one of the items from “Cast Iron Crushables”. (Served in skillet) ** Order one from the Brunch menu. If you like sausage, go for farmhouse breakfast. ☕️ The Press Coffee is mild and tasty and its worth trying. Enjoy!????

Hanging with The GrahamCrackers

We came here for our brunch the morning after our wedding. Our server Sim was amazing and very helpful with the menu. The food was mouthwatering and the experience was to die for. 10/10 will definitely be back for more!

Tyler Gao

The bartender is so friendly, and the food is delicious. Tonnes of unique options to choose from, including drinks and desserts. The place has a really hip/chic vibe and is an awesome place to grab brunch with friends and family!

Sean Mitchell

One of my favourite brunch spots! The outdoor seating was so cute :) Chez was so sweet and friendly ❤️ The mimosas and mac & cheese were delicious as always too ~

Saraphina B

I love Wooden Spoon, food and staff are amazing. My go-to brunch place and dinners are so delicious

Ali Meraji

Great place for brunch, staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Dishes are very well prepared and delicious. If you are around you need to visit this place!

Mitchell Dennis Music

Another place that deserves 10 out of 5 stars! If you are in the area for brunch this place is a must!!! Amazing food, stellar staff and great atmosphere! Nothing but love for Wooden Spoon ❤️☕️❤️

Arj

Meeting my friend after long time for Brunch, and we chose this place. Let me tell you this place is gem. The restaurant has the rustic and woodsy look. Little tight space wise though. The atmosphere was very vibrant and fun. Our waiter Nick was awesome. I started with grapefruit mimosa and it was awesome. Then I got a vegetarian hash, a cast iron dish with roasted vegetables and sunny side up eggs. It was so good and delicious.

hausofskrastins

This place is vegetarian friendly! Ordered the veggy fritata and it was delicious. Good selection of local beers too. Service is great and staff is friendly. Order is taken quickly and food arrives on time. It closes at 3pm but they let patrons linger and take their time - they don't try to rush you out. Highly recommend this place and will be visiting again :)

Kate Dunn-Roy

Absolutely the best food and service we’ve had since dining out during the pandemic. Kudos to Nick for offering a 10/10 experience. The Cajun chicken sandwich is to die for. Get the truffle fries! ????

Tina Ye

Such an awesome brunch place! So many great vegetarian options too. Our server Krista was the best. Definitely my go to brunch whenever i visit white rock. Edit: the chef was nice enough to give me some tomato jam to take home cos i loved it so much!

Veronica Chase

Best breakfast/ brunch place in South Surrey/ White Rock area. A must to stop by... variety of Mimosas and hardy filly breakfast that is fresh! We definitely will be going again. ????

Tanisha Dosanjh

Very busy restaurant and for good reasons. Their execution of their dishes is excellent. The chicken and waffles are upscale fare of what I have experienced at other restaurants. The waits can be long, but if you don't mind eating at the bar, it might be a good option to skip the lineup. The service was very good, friendly and attentive. There is a play area for kids at the back, and they do validate parking for your vehicle if you do choose to park in the lot at the back.

Ckbz 929

One of the best places for brunch ever! Food was very enjoyable, and the French pressed coffee was fantastic. It would have been an easy 5 star, but... On that day, one of the guys just couldn't clean the table and chairs properly. We asked him to clean, and he just quickly cleaned one chair...just one chair. There were at least 3 dirty chairs at a glance. So, we took the liberty of cleaning them ourselves. Talking about cleanliness, the milk bottles that were repurposed to be used as water bottles was a good idea, and a good thing. But...reusing it can be done only so many times. The bottles were clearly overused. They had tea coloured tint...water was supposed to be clear. Especially the clean one, water should not look like tea. We didn't touch the water. One more big downside that happened to be suitable that day: overcooked egg benny. I missed the dripping yolk when I stabbed the egg with my knife. I said suitable because my wife currently preferred it a little more cooked than what normal great benny should be. I will be back again. Hopefully, this time I wouldn't need to clean my own chairs and tables, avoid drinking water from tea tinted bottle, and poke into an overcooked benny.

I came here yesterday with 2 of my friends and we were pretty upset with the experience. We asked for a table inside and were told it was going to be a 30-40 minute wait. After waiting an hour we were informed there was a table ready outside for us. We informed the host that we had originally asked to be seated inside, and we were told it would be about another 10-15 minute wait for an inside table, which we were fine with as it was super cold outside and we had dined outside for a previous experience and found it too cold. We were seated inside after 10 minutes and it seemed like everything was all good! However, upon waiting 30-40 minutes for our food, we were told it was “ran to the wrong table” and that it would be out ASAP. Accidents happen and that’s all good but we wish we were told beforehand of this issue as it had been close to an hour we had been sitting there at that point. After this, we waited another 25 minutes for our meals to arrive. Once we got our food, my sausage patty was visibly burnt and I told the server that I would continue eating as we were so hungry by then. In addition, we found that all of the eggs (on the sweet and salty and on the benny) were overcooked. However, nothing was really said or done. I think it was visibly noticeable how upset we were by the whole experience, so the server told us that they felt really bad about the whole experience and were giving us dessert on the house, which was appreciated. Although, since we were there for so long and ready to go, we asked for it to be packed up to go. They gave us 9 mini donuts, but put it in one take out box for the three of us to share. We thought this was a little inconsiderate as we told the server we had to leave and weren’t sure how to share this between us. We appreciated the effort and their recognition of how upset we were, but we just thought that something could have been done to rectify our experience. We have always loved the wooden spoon and have enjoyed every experience, this was definitely an off-day :(

Robert Cole

I went here for brunch on Saturday with some friends and the food is delicious. This place is cozy and the atmosphere is amazing with great service provided. I was very impressed with one of the server's, Simran. She was cordial, very cheerful and recommended the sweet and salty which was delicious. I definitely recommend trying it and hopefully you get her as a server too!

Christian Hombrebueno

Third time having brunch at the wooden spoon. The foods delicious and was perfectly portioned where I didn’t feel too full. The potatoes are some of my favourite and you cant go wrong with any egg bennys

David Var

The Wooden Spoon is such a wonderful restaurant! So many great options and the staff is phenomenal. A shout-out to our fantastic, and hilarious, server, Conner, for his recommendations! Will definitely be visiting again.

Tim Tom

Chez was our server and she was extremely nice and super friendly!! The food was delicious and the donut holes were heavenly. Was my first time dining here and definitely won't be my last!

A. White

I loved the food here. It was so delicious. We went for brunch and had 'The champ' burger. My coffee was really good too. No wonder this place is so busy. We had an hour wait at 10 in the morning. But we took the bar option which was only 15 mins wait. Next time I would like to sit down and eat properly. Highly recommend this place but make sure to reserve before going there. Ambience 4 /5 Service-4/5 Food-5/5

Gee

We had an incredible experience here. The food was incredible and more than anything, what made our experience so amazing was the service. I had a few pieces of eggshells in my poached eggs and our server was more than gracious about it and a replacement came out rather quickly even though they were at the end of their brunch service. Id never sent food back at a restaurant before so I was nervous the kitchen or servers would be upset but they honestly were the most incredible. My husband and I will definitely be going back to try their entire menu!

Kat M

Nice little brunch spot! I had the Sweet and Salty french toast with a side of crispy potatoea and ended with the donut holes with the salted caramel sauce. Try their coffee with the salted caramel sauce and donut hole - IT IS OUT OF THE WORLD! IT WILL TRULY PUT A LITERAL HAPPY FACE EMOJI ON YOUR FACE! Itll be this emoji - ???? Or this one ????

Lyndsay

Great food and good service. The waitress was very accommodating and was so kind to our baby. She offered a high chair and brought baby cutlery for him without us asking! Thank you we will definitely come back here again ????

Great breakfast spot, love their menu, nice to have the option of Caesars in the morning too. Consistently busy and I would absolutely recommend this spot!

Amrit Mann

Our server, Krista, was great! She was very knowledgable about the menu. One person in our party had allergies and had suggestions of ways to accommodate. Food was fresh, good value and good quality. I highly recommend this place.

Mark Tooner

In our quest to find the best breakfast/brunch spot in the GVRD, The Wooden Spoon is by far the current champion. But please don't tell anyone as we are too lazy to make a reservation. T&D

Teya M

Amaaaaazing service here. The food was incredibly tasty and fresh. Great ambiance. I left feeling really full, happy and content. 10/10

Tom Dent

My family had breakfast this past weekend and were completely surprised about the extra fees on top of our bill! What is this NON-ALCOHOL TAX??? I was charged $8 for NOT drinking alcohol with my breakfast, as well as the GST tax (which was expected). So you're going to charge me for choosing not to drink alcohol first thing in the morning??Also, there was no other option for tip amount--only 15% and above. Why can't I choose my own tip amount on the bill? There was only 3 of us in my party. We will NEVER come here again. So disappointed.

Kimberley Bregg

Was in for brunch to catch up with some friends earlier! I had the OG spoon burger with fries, which was a massive serving and super tasty. My girlfriend had the Mac and cheese which is always good from here! Our server Sim was attentive and very friendly to all of us, despite our friends coming later and only having a drink. Overall had great experience today - 11/10 would visit again!

We've been here before and enjoyed everything but this time we were a little disappointed. Wife's Eden Sandwich would have probably tasted better in summer with veg in season and my Cajun Burger should've been called Garlic Burger. The service and atmosphere were good as before.

Mohdeep Atwal

Wow, I've been coming in for the past few occasions and was blown away by the amazing service of all the staff at this place. Krista was amazing, Conner was astounding, Nick was super friendly, Ellie was very welcoming, Zia was great and confident at her job, Sim had great knowledge of the menu, Carmen was sweet, Daniel was welcoming and charismatic, Camille was fantastic, Bridgette was lovely, Chezca was incredible, Emily was also welcoming, Lily went above and beyond, Maggie exceeded expectations, Mikaela helped choose a great meal, Taytum rocked it, and Graham and JM were super welcoming, helpful, and sweet. But that was just the service, the food was next level. Familiar lunch options (burgers, mac and cheese, etc.) as well as some new but delicious brunch delights like the spoon huevos (savory corn succotash, crispy, well-seasoned potatoes, avocado, feta, fresh tomato, tortilla chips, along with two golden sunny-side eggs). This place clearly puts in the effort to make their customers enjoy the time they spend here, which encourages us to come back for a second time. Well done, Wooden Spoon!

Courtney Robertson

Great food and atmosphere! Connor created fun and awesome dining experience. He was very attentive, accommodating and made great food suggestions! Looking forward to dining here again in the future!

Lloyd Klinck

We’ve been on a best hamburger/fries hunt, this was one of the best. Presentation is pretty too, beers from local breweries good and server really nice.

Gail Morriss

Their brunch is DELICIOUS! The food is super fresh and flavorful. Even the kids grilled cheese was impressive. Our server was lovely, the food came out quickly, and we were able to get seated right away on the heated back patio. Such a lovely dining experience, I wish we lived closer!

Sophia Tan

Have been to the Wooden Spoon on numerous occasions over the past several years! Today my daughter’s grapefruit mimosa was flat, clearly the Prosecco was old. The eggs Benny was perfect but the smash potatoes also tasted old and cold. The smash breakfast sandwich tasted delicious but totally skimped on the beef patty (even though it was smashed)! A few months ago when I visited, the chicken sandwich had 1/2 the amount of chicken as it usually does.

Had lunch today at this restaurant. Everything was wonderful. I don't know the name of our server but she did have beautiful eyelashes! She was very attentive and got everything exactly right. Just great food and service!

Krista was amazing!! Incredible service and unreal food! ????????

Smoked meat sandwich was marginal and lettuce was bitter. My soup was tasty but cold. My wife asked for gluten-free bread and it was not gluten free. She became ill.

Diana Dee

Krista our server was just awesome! She connected very well to us and was very attentive to our needs. She gave suggestions that we all love!! Food was great, sizes were huge and prices are fair! I highly recommend this place….

Our goto breakfast spot in the lower mainland. The service is always top drawer, and the food is creative and quality.

First time here, on my birthday as well and it was phenomenal. The environment and people were amazing and such a fun place to be in. Our server Connor was very friendly, funny and easily made you feel welcomed and at home in the restaurant. Will definitely be coming back in the future, staff and food is immaculate !

Hamburger was good, sadly smoked meat sandwich was lacking in smoked meat. Add 1$ and put in decent quantity, not just in middle. Otherwise was lovely.

Anita Attwal

Food was delicious, mimosas were on point! Service was great, we had the most friendly waitress, Kristen who was training Chez. They were so sweet and waited on us the perfect amount. Will be back soon!

Excellent food and service, price and drinks not so much. We had the Bay cajun bennies and the Kahuna French toast and both were AMAZING. However, it was somewhat expensive and the drink (High Five) was basically soda mixed with food colorant.

Robert Green

This place was great! Food and service were on point! ✔ Thank you for an awesome first experience! ????

Great atmosphere and fast service! We went for brunch and the food was really good (I had the Sweet & Salty, my husband had the Salmon Benny). The staff seem to work well together and were turning tables over quickly to accommodate incoming guests. They also provide 2hrs of free parking if you park in the lot behind the restaurant. Overall a great experience and we will be back. Edit: came back and must say that they went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter's dairy allergy! I emailed in advance and they called me to go through all the menu options!

One of our favorite brunch spot in south surrey/white rock at all times. Very family friendly. Has a little kids area tuck away for little dinners. Not much but it’s something to make them feel special. Food is always yummy. The Benny and poutines are our favorite. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will keep coming back :)

Zahida Ali

Food, atmosphere, drinks and staff are excellent here! Easy parking behind. Recommend checking this brunch and dinner spot out. Open 10-3 Monday and Tuesday, 10-10 Wednesday-Sunday. Everything here is delicious! Vegan and meat options available. Great music playing as well!

Mercedez Allen

Really great place ! Lots of variety on the menu with gluten free and vegan options ! I couldn’t believe how busy it was for a Tuesday though ! Make sure you double check before going that you don’t need a reservation! I have the Wooden Huavos and French Press with Almond Milk !

Keana MacDonald

Had such a blast. I come here all the time for brunch and it never disappoints. The food is always amazing and the servers are great. Our server today was Chez and she made our dining experience super fun and memorable. She made great suggestions and was very personable. Always recommend this place and definitely will keep coming back!

Priscilla Goundar

Amazing brunch place if you are looking for somewhere different. Service was great and Sim was so helpful and welcoming.

Gordon Ross Boulton

Amazing little spot, friendly staff. This was recommended by the guy working the bar. I can't remember his name(sorry) flavourful, tasty and great vibe. Make reservations or come and put your name down on the wait list. Usually about an hour wait.

Cecilia Mai

Went a while ago in the evening, when they do a pop up burger joint. Was a nice vibe with good beer, but the burgers were incredibly expensive and sides were extra. My chicken burger was terrible especially for the price. You can get a better chicken burger for half the price and triple the meat at Popeyes. I'd try brunch there but will never go back for the burgers.

Francesco Singh

Still pretty good, but there's been noticeable shrinkage. Got the bay Benny and it had like two shrimp on it... for $17. I get that food prices have gone up, but this is ridiculous. Just look at previous photos in the reviews and then look at your plate. Probably 1/2 the potatoes as before. I've never seen my mom or wife finish a brunch meal, but they both polished their plates this time. I'd rather they just raised their prices and kept the portions the same. The food still tasted great. Beyond that the staff doesn't seem to care the front door is stuck open half the time, so if it's cold stay away from the front half of the restaurant.

Our first visit at this place was disappointing; however, the owner quickly reacted to rectify the situation. The communication with the owner showed that he took pride in his business and that our first experience was not representative of Wooden Spoon. Upon our second experience, we were immediately greeted by the staff and taken care of. Mimosas were fresh and lively. Coffee was freshly made in a French press. The food came out quickly within 10 minutes of us ordering. Huge portions of fine cuisine which leave you rolling around for the rest of your day. We were checked on often and the service was top notch. Shoutout to Carmen with her genuine smile and her strong sense of management and hospitality.

Megan Howard

I like their food. But last two visits we got extremely bad service. We stood in the front for 20 minutes three employees walked by nobody even acknowledged that we were there or somebody will be coming to help us. I'm very disappointed in their service.

Sheryl Sawatzky

Best local joint you can go to! Food is tasty and their ingredients are always tasty! We were served by Krista and she was awesome! Great personality and customer service! I recommend this place to everyone I see

After getting in an enormous fight with my wretch of a wife Rhonda at the near by shopping mall I decided to leave her there. I came over to the Wooden Spoon and stuffed my face with much food as I could. This food is amazing and made me feel loved and at piece. I won’t be bringing Rhonda here EVER. This is MY new place and she can’t ever know about.

Kay D

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we got there we were greeted with smiles and efficient and lovely staff. Our server, Krista was so so so good! The food was beautifully prepared and presented and it was beyond delicious. Thank you Wooden Spoon and a huge shout out to Krista!

The other server wasn't so accommodating and she gave us a cup that has a lipstick stain on. Their chef on the other hand is friendly. He walked around and check out on people if their food was okay. They have rear parking. This place is so popular because of social media, so it's okay to try for once but might not come back.

Food and atmosphere is always amazing!! Conner was our server and made sure that our experience was second to none! 10/10 recommend the Wooden Spoon for all occasions and make sure to ask Conner for one of his special cocktails...you won't be disappointed.

MamaJ

Enjoyed a great brunch today! We made a reservation as we heard it gets busy. We were seated right away, service was friendly and prompt, but most importantly the food was delicious!

Jodi Green

Cozy, busy little spot for a great breakfast or lunch. Staff was very friendly, especially the gentleman manning the bar area who had a great sense of humour and kept us laughing the entire breakfast (didn’t get his name unfortunately). Food presentation is amazing, and the taste does not disappoint.

Jane

We had cast iron - beef and Cajun Benny. The food and services have well met expectation. Their other signature includes chocolate french toast. Will come back and try that too

Lauren Pughe

I would love to give this place 5 stars from a personal standpoint, but my experience was with my vegan partner. 4/5 because there were no explicit plant-based options. The Harvest Burger is definitely vegetarian, but requires some changes to make it vegan. Not sure if the sauce is 100% plant-based, but we aren’t too strict with that! The fries were good and the burgers were good. I do wish the servings were bigger, but it allowed us to walk around White Rock without feeling lethargic. I recommend sitting in the front patio instead of the back as well! The back was more quiet, but there isn’t a view. We’re more of a quiet couple so this wasn’t an issue, but can be a factor for some customers.

MKC

We went to the Wooden Spoon last week in Whiterock for a late lunch/brunch and were absolutely impressed with the quality of the food and service. Really unique and tasty meals served promptly and with a smile. Krista our server was awesome. Attentive, friendly and knowledgable. My burger was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, home style thick bacon and great fries, mouth watering! But the best was yet to come. The manager suggested the waffles as a desert and it was amazing!! Best I ever had. My wife and I highly recommend checking this place out!

Nav Bruno

Went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the service. Our waiter, Connor, was beyond amazing! He brought good energy and laughs! Thank you for such an incredible experience!!

Nice and attentive server who was helpful when I requested an off-menu drink. Food was very good and menu is quite unique

Ravi Reddy

The food was so good, I had the Booyah Breakfast Sandwich and the sauce was perfect. Our server, Krista was so nice and really good at making recommendations. I can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu.

Danelle Pope

The wooden spoon is an amazing place for brunch. It’s definitely one of my go to places now. I’m gonna bring everyone I know here when I get the chance ???? • We got the beef brisket hash, and the sweet and salty! 120000% recommend them both ???? the beef brisket hash I actually fell in love, it was so flavourful I didn’t need to add anything to it! And the yolk was super soft and runny, that orange yolk made me cry in happiness for a bit! The sweet and salty had the perfect taste ratio. With bacon and cheese on a semi sweet French toast with the light drizzle of maple syrup on it! It wasn’t too rich, nor was it too sweet perfect amount! • Drinks were super unique I got the high-five (no alcohol in it) and on its own you may think it taste like a Prosecco, which is very sweet. But when combined with the food you get it’s a pallet cleanser and it’s delicious ????. The French press coffee is super unique and cool. • True hidden gem and must try! ———————————————

We had a wonderful time. Our waitress was great. Food was amazing, only criticism is the poutine gravy was a bit salty for my tastes. Otherwise everything was excellent. You must finish a meal off with the donut holes. Yummy

Nancy Yung

Will drive for food! Always worth the drive from Burnaby and can’t go wrong with Happy Hour burgers and beers. Food was delicious and amazing as always… the Big Bird is a must! Thanks Sim and the Spoon crew for another stellar night!

Kobra Khan

First time going to this place today. 1st off KRISTA was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable on the dishes and very personable. 6 of us LOVED our brunches. We will definitely be coming back very soon. ????????????

Nicole Yuen

Great menu, focuses on quality and not quantity! A variety of spins on their mains making it a true brunch and bistro! We were visiting and had an excellent time! The food was so tasty! I recommend the Montreal smoked meat sandwich! Especially if your from the east,it’s a nice spin on a classic! Friendly staff/host and a good atmosphere. Lots of couples and dinning for two. Excuse the half eaten sandwich pics but couldn’t resist or wait!

Brittney Sylvester

Over priced for what a person gets. Compare the cost and quality to Laure’s Coffee Shop. The service was poor. Once the food came we had to ask for everything including salt and pepper. We will not return because there is better available.

Michael Nikiforuk

Second time going to burger nights on Friday and being served by Sim! She made awesome drink and food recommendations. Just remembered to write this now but she deserves it! Memorable experiences both times :)

Alex MP

Connor was the absolute best waiter I have ever encountered!!! He was so friendly as were all the staff there. The food is first class and absolutely delicious. Make sure you get the French press coffee as it is something you will definitely enjoy.

Sharon Henry

It was our first time there. Food was ok, service was not great as not very organized at the door. Not crazy about it. Not too many choices for me to eat as well. Yes for sure some feedback to improve and to visit if customers input is imp to you. Have people not gather at the entrance maybe one party at a time to show the vaccination? Second my Bill was 30$ something and the waitress asked me if I would like to pay the full 50$ to it?? Was she asking for a 20$ tip I don’t understand??

Modern Contemplative

One of the best breakfast/brunch joints ever!! Such a great atmosphere, space, and the servers are all so amazing. I rarely write reviews but after having Krista as our server, she truly made our experience and is the best ever!! She is so sweet, thoughtful, funny and very knowledgeable. She works so hard!! Thank you to Krista and Wooden spoon for an amazing dining experience!!

Brad-Shelley Willms

Delicious food, great service and amazing fun. We all came to celebrate my daughter's 28 th birthday. So thank you Wooden Spoon for such a great experience. ????
