New Cairo Cafe The

I came here while visiting the Burnaby Hospital and it is an excellent alternative to the hospital cafeteria or Tim Horton. The cafe was cozy and the owner was very friendly to every customer. In addition to coffee and pastries, it has an excellent lunch menu with vegetarian options. The menu items were all under $10 with generous portions. If you are ever in need of comfort food, definitely give this place a try!

Well. I'll. Be. Damned. This place is the real deal folks. Allow me to go into some explanation here, if you don't mind, because someone needs to write their MBA thesis on Mr. Yasser: "How to succeed as a small business in the era of franchise overload and mass-consumerism" Something like that. Anyway, the man is a creative genius. I'm not kidding when I say that on the handful of times I've visited here, I've: 1. Ordered double due to the first order being so damn delicious. Burger days are the best days. 2. Paid what I consider to be criminally low prices. Like, prices so reasonable, I felt I was robbing the man. 3. Seen people laughing and smiling. Always. That last point is why Yasser (the proprietor of New Cairo cafe) is a genius. In this age of communal disconnection and general low-level misery, Yasser has developed they system/skills to transform people's moods for the better. You simply don't find this in the customer-business relationship. People are generally happy here and the regulars are a 'Cheers' style crew. If you're in the area (especially those folks who are at the near-by hospital for a less than optimal reason), experience the warm community, great comfort food, and criminally responsible prices, Yasser has on the menu.
