    Love this place, it's our every-time we're in Squamish place to eat.

    Super fresh, healthy food. Smoothies, breakfast, lunch, burgers, salads, quinoa bowls - gluten free options and raw meals as well.  Fresh soups and good coffee.

    Yes, as you are probably noticing, I don't write a review unless it's a 5 star. Zephyr cafe is the hottest cafe in town. Not only is the food fresh and innovative but I always run into someone I know there. Good people eat there and I see the same ones coming back time and time again. I also happen to know the owners on a personal level and i know they put a 100% into everything they do there. You are missing out if you haven't been there yet. I guarantee you will meet a new friend there and also hear some good tunes! Top notch!

    Zephyr is the only vegan-friendly restaurant in Squamish. Even the "natural" Sunflower Cafe next door doesn't have a SINGLE vegan option - but Zephyr has several! They're not stunning big-city options, but then again, I can't imagine they see vegans in there every day.

    The food is pretty good. I went with a group of 6 and everyone was satisfied - plus, the prices aren't astronomical, like most other places in Squamish. Coffee is good too.

    I really like that Zephyr is kind of cute and kitschy - for a table marker they give you one of a selection of toys that they keep up front which inevitably results in the full-grown adults at your table making up stories about mastodons, firetrucks, and ambulances.

    We were here on a climbing trip, and they did not mind that we sat out a rainy day -- enjoying their free wi-fi for hours (thank you!) and their tasty food.

    On sunny days, they have an outdoor patio to enjoy the fresh air, and view of the mountains. Amazing!

    The coffee here is among the smoothest I've tasted. Yum! They also have high quality loose leaf teas.

    Climbers: if you have been to Bishop, this is like the Black Sheep Cafe with a better view...

    Everything I order here is amazing.

    Their breakfast burrito is the best one I have ever had anywhere. It's filled with fresh eggs, cheese, beans, and veggies. Perfect for a pre-hike, bike, climb, or boulder meal.

    The quinoa bowls are a delicious and healthy feast. I recommend the peanut sauce one. Be sure to add chorizo to it, sounds weird but it actually tastes amazing with the peanut sauce and veggie filled bowl.

    The coffee is good.

    This is where locals eat well. Based on Yelp reviews we went here on a grey, rainy weekend in February. We were really glad we did.
    The atmosphere is unique and fun without being freaky or pretentious. The clientele were clearly local and regulars which is always a good sign. Another good sign is when you order poached eggs and they ask you "Soft, medium or firm?" My avatar is the latte I was served which was fabulous.
    We will definitely be stopping in again.

    I appreciate the humour of the owners.  They had a sign up that gave me a good hearty belly laugh:  "Unaccompanied children will be given a shot of espresso and a free puppy."  I like their attitude!

    This cafe opened in December and is a wonderful little stop between Vancouver and Whistler.  

    The first thing I noticed upon entering is the number of Australian accents I heard.  So many of the customers and staff are from Australia it is almost comical!  I suppose the Aussies really will do whatever it takes to find snow and skiing in the heat of an Australian summer!

    Just stopped in for a hot beverage to warm up after a very cold walk in Porteau Cove Park.  They have an amazing selection of loose tea - something close to 25 varieties!  Truly lovely.

    Spying the sandwiches all of the Aussies were chowing down on, I would definitely return to sample the food.  They were piled high with a nice variety of unique veggies and sandwich toppings.  Very wholesome looking!

    I had the chili here today.  It was thick with a variety of legumes and well-prepared.   The cup portion turned out to be a bowl while the bowl portion was more like a small tub, so cu-dos for generous portions.  I enjoyed the place, the food, the art and the atmosphere.  They should add a salt shaker to their condiments for people with over-stimulated palettes like me.  

    An Americano was mheh.

    We stopped here on our drive up to Whistler because it is a place my friends drives to when she needs a break from the city. She recommended the veggie burger. I decided to have it with the soup of the day which was a Yam Peanut.. and i have to say .. to die for! The soup was rich and delicous and would have been great just on it's own. The veggie burger was a lentil based hand made burger, that started off good, but slowly got messy and crumbled. It was huge and incredibly overfilling. It would be worth to share the veggie burger.
    I would like to go back and try something else. There breakfast looked yummy.

    This little cafe was my introduction to Canadian cafes/restaurants . What a good first impression.

    I was passing through here on my way to Whistler and didn't really know much about the town of Squamish.  This place looked inviting.  At first glance the menu seemed entirely vegan/vegetarian, but on the side wall menu I caught a couple chicken sandwiches. Nothing against vegetarian options, but after a few hours on the road, that sounded the most appetizing.

    The stuffed chicken sandwich was delicious, it actually got better with each bite.  The side salad was pretty good.  I tried a vegan chocolate brownie, that was better than expected.

    The cafe was nice and clean and had a friendly, small-town feel about it . The staff was quick and friendly.  I'd be down to try some other items here, but we'll see when I'm next in Squamish.

    I ride to Squamish every chance I get on my motorcycle.  Squamish is a great place to stop and take a break before Whistler.  I think Zephyr Cafe is the best choice in Squamish for healthy eats.  All the food I have had is healthy and amazing and delicious.  The hipster staff are all super efficient and great at their jobs.  The standing rock is my personal favourite but I usually am there in the morning.  Lattes are good also as they use 49th parallel beans.

    This place gave me acid flashbacks to Santa Cruz and Boulder, very funky independent cafe, hippy/outdoorsy vibe, healthy food with good local beers, everything we had was very good, and they made a nice special order for our 3 year-old. Great place..
