If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to explore more local cafes, there’s a new spot in Burnaby!
For Rest Cafe, a charming new Korean cafe, has taken over the previous Jodeen Cafe unit (beside Grandma Liu Hot Pot) along Kingsway.
A follower on TikTok (@elfonmichelf) tipped us off about this cozy addition to the Burnaby cafe scene.
They soft opened in early December 2024.
Offering a delicious lineup of brunches, croffles, sandwiches, coffee, and drinks, For Rest Cafe is perfect for anyone looking for a quiet, intimate spot—a refreshing change from the loud and busier Metrotown cafes (ahem La Foret).
Menu highlights include the Smoked Salmon Benny topped with house-made Hollandaise, the Ham and Cheese Omelette, and unique offerings like the Kimchi Bacon Burrito and Banana Nutella Croffle.
On the drink side, the cafe’s menu features a selection of lattes, teas, and specialty drinks like the For Rest Latte, Spanish Latte, and Matcha Latte—perfect for pairing with your brunch or croffle.
For Rest Cafe joins the wave of new cafes popping up across Metro Vancouver, alongside other recent openings like Cafe Episode, Tona, Cafe Algan, and AVIK.
