Bon's Off Broadway

Bon's Off Broadway
2451 Nanaimo St.
Vancouver, BC

I am lucky enough to live right around the corner from one of Vancouvers great greasy spoon diners. Bon's off Broadway is definately a place to go if you're in the mood for some great cheap breakfast. The atmosphere is super relaxed and if you get there early enough (before 9) you wont have to wait in line.
Bon's is a little kitchy with movie posters and silly things on the walls. It's interesting to look and and some good conversation starters if you're into past-their-prime singers. Now to the food!
The $2.95 breakfast is insanely cheap and means that you can get eggs, potatoes, toast, bacon and coffee for 5 bucks with tax! You will not find that many places in Vancouver, or anywhere for that matter. The breakfast is basic but the eggs have always been cooked perfectly and the food comes out fast. Great servers and good diner coffee make this a great place for a breakfast after a night out. It can get a little crowded mid morning but it's worth the wait if you want to save a couple bucks. If you want a refill on your coffee be assertive and go grab the pot yourself, it's self serve coffee here!
Give Bon's a try one Sunday morning, hopefully it will be added to your 'breaky when broke' list.

Update: I recently revisted Bon's on July 9th, 2011 (with my family) and July 30th, 2011 (solo), and it's as good as ever. The eggs were perfect and there was some hillarious new writings on the walls. I have also noticed that Bon's has been showing up a lot in the 'I saw you' section in the Georgia Straight. So it may be a place for finding love too, who knows???
