Food This Kitsilano landmark is known for its breakfasts/brunches, but how do its burgers fare? Patties were nicely seasoned and healthy-sized, but we can't say we were 'wowed' by them. A couple of us thought our sesame buns were on the stale/dry side. We all thought the fries were top notch, though the in-house ketchup was a bit on the tart side. The offering of beans as a side is rare, and they were good!

Ambience It was a nice night so we opted for outdoor seating, which was very pleasant. First-time 'goers will enjoy the kitschy, colourful interior.

Service Attentive and cheerful.

Value At $12.59 for the "deluxe" burger, you're getting a decent amount of food for your money, though the consensus from the group seemed to be that we're not in any rush to come back (at least for the burger).

Summing it up, eating at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe is like driving a Chrysler 300 down Cornwall Avenue with Jay Leno in the driver's seat, while listening to Foo Fighters 'Best of you.' (visited on August 27, 2013)
