Found on a list of recommendations, arrived a little later in the afternoon on a Sunday — definitely a bit busy but absolutely worth the wait. Food was excellent, and latte was an unexpected stand out. Tables are a little close together so you are seated close to other guests, but overall not uncomfortable. Highly recommended spot, just be okay with waiting for a table.

Servers were fast and the environment was amazing (lively, chatter-filled, and nice smells, like all great cafes). The server made a mistake on one of our drinks but gave us a replacement at no cost. I had the fricasee, the portion was hearty and yummy but I wish the bread were a bit less over-toasted. I also found it a tad too acidic.

Went to go visit this Cafe only because of the name Medina as it's my surname but I was pleasantly surprised with the food. The weight was a little longer than I expected coming from out of town but it was worth it

Started our day with waffles and coffee and went back afternoon for lunch. European style cuisine and just the right amount of waiter’s attention (not too much, exactly enough 👍🏻). The only thing I personally don’t like is the table being intimately close to each other 😃

Coffee cup/ bag charge for a coffee to go is asinine. JJ Bean it is going forward.

I'd heard from a local that this spot is not necessarily overrated and worth a visit. It is on the Michelin guide which makes it exceptionally popular, even for a brunch spot. Expect a wait. The Moroccan sausage shakshuka is what I tried, and it was a good bit of heat to wake you up on the morning. Medina is known for its waffles which I also tried and did not disappoint. Light and fluffy, Belgian-style, but on the smaller side, so order multiple if you are visiting primarily for those. Would recommend for a strong breakfast or brunch. Get there early if possible.

The place has a nice vibe, big windows, spacious. Service is not great, all waiters kept running away, could not speak to them, clearly in a rush even if the space was more than half empty. Just an attitude. The food was a big no no, complete lack of care, as much as possible prepared ahead of time, no customization allowed. Order a matcha latte, very watery, and not good quality. All felt cheap across the board food and drinks wise
Definitely woth the wait in line for a very tasty breakfast. Fair portions but price reflects the quality of food. A bit noisy when busy...but still a great place for breakfast or brunch. There are a good variety of skillets!

Had our last breakfast of our Vancouver trip here and it was outstanding. The customer service was fantastic and the food was amazing and came out quick. Really great coffee too. Would highly recommend!

The food was outstanding—creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I tried the paella breakfast and it was incredible: perfectly cooked orzo, chorizo, fresh vegetables, and a fried egg on top. The dish was hearty but not heavy. Of course, the Belgian waffles are a must—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect size to pair with different toppings. I went with the salted caramel and it was unforgettable.
