Popular All-Day Brunch Spot Opens New Downtown Vancouver Outpost

Wake up, brunch fanatics!

There’s going to be a new spot to lure you in for some delicious brunch!

That’s because The Hard Bean Brunch Co., a beloved local gem in Port Moody, has recently opened their new downtown Vancouver Waterfront location.

They took over the previous Don Francesco Restaurant unit, attached to Waterfront Centre.

Launched in 2022, The Hard Bean Brunch Co. has redefined the brunch scene in Port Moody with its innovative and playful menu.

Embodying their tagline, “We don’t just do brunch, we are brunch,” they’ve delivered on this promise, offering a delightful selection of brunch staples with a twist.

It was born out of CEO Heather Rhodes’s desire to create a fun and upbeat setting for families to enjoy a relaxed dinner, complete with options like pancakes for kids and cocktails for adults.

Heather Rhodes has an impressive background in the hospitality industry, starting her career at the age of 16 with Cactus Club Café.

Afterward, she honed her skills in customer relationship building at a local pub and further developed her expertise by joining Browns Socialhouse in 2008 and helping develop more than 20 locations for the group.

The Hard Bean Brunch Co. also prides itself on its culinary excellence, led by Culinary Director Geoff Morrison.

Geoff has valuable experience from his time at Boston Pizza and Browns Socialhouse, where he held roles as a corporate trainer and chef.

The new location stays true to The Hard Bean’s successful recipe: A combination of playful and traditional brunch fare.

From deconstructed potato skins and truffle fries to hearty mains like pesto linguine and tuna steak poke bowl, their dishes cater to various tastes and dietary preferences.
