On the Grid : Nelson the Seagull

"Nelson is our regular lunch spot when we feel like eating a little more healthy. They make their own bread, which is the basis for most of their dishes. And it is insanely good. The sandwiches are massive and packed with fresh ingredients, and the 'grilled cheese' is a revelation: melted cheese and tomatoes on toast (pictured). Simple but amazing." - Louder Than Ten

This is the best bakery for a bread nomad like me. I’m so glad I found the best sourdough bread in Vancouver.🥰 I always take their sourdough home and enjoy making a variety of sandwiches with it. Now, I honestly can’t imagine living without it.

Oat-milk mocha was great. They discontinued the soup and bread. Had avocado on toast and poached eggs. Eggs were perfectly poached but the sourdough could be softer yet crispy; was too hard. The ambience was great and welcoming.

Nelson the Seagull is such a gem. The vibe is chill and artsy, and the sourdough is incredible. I recommend it, whether you’re into sweet toppings or something savory. Everything felt thoughtfully made, and the space has a welcoming, relaxed feel. One thing to note -not the café’s fault!- the surrounding area has a noticeable presence of homelessness. It didn’t take away from the experience for me, but it’s good to stay aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your belongings, both in and outside the café. Overall, I’d absolutely come back. Great coffee, great bread, and a cool spot to hang.

Cute café/brunch spot serving delicious avocado toasts. The sourdough is buttery, crunchy and very aromatic – a carb-lover’s dream :) There aren’t too many inside seating options, so be prepared for a short wait. The food is all the more reason to visit :) The atmosphere is nice, filled with the smell of freshly baked bread, brunch dishes and brewed coffee.

Lovely bakery and cafe. Food was so good we came back a second time! Particularly the grilled cheese sandwich was awesome. The area in which it’s located is a bit strange though, but unfortunately there is not much that the Nelson team can do about it. Once inside, you’ll be greeted by the lovely smell of fresh bread!

What a GEM. The vibe is cozy, comfy, and chilled. Espresso was tasty, and you can just tell that they know their shit when it comes to bread. Sadly didn’t get any, but man oh man was that sourdough ever-tempting!

Very delicious sourdough bread. Great flavor on the tomato jam toast. It was a little more than I wanted to spend for two coffees, and two toasts for breakfast. I would have liked to try some of the amazing looking pastries but would easily bring the bill to $65+ Would like to go back and try the sweet treats
