TurF Kitsilano (KITS)

I love their coffee and food! I come here often, this is one of my favorite cafe. Trust me, I rly want to give a 5-star!! However, they don’t deserve a five star because they never care about the hygiene :( If you come here often just like me, you would definitely notice the staff here just drop your cutlery on your table. Sometimes the cutlery is wrapped by the tissue paper, so it’s ok. For the most of time the cutlery isn’t properly wrapped so it touches the table. You may think it’s ok because of course they clean the table. Unfortunately, they don’t. Ive visited here for so many times and for the most of the time the table is not clean, and it’s just so obvious the food is still sticking on the table so I had to clean the table myself. If you don’t sanitize the table, at least wrap the cutlery properly so it doesn’t touch the table??? I know some people don’t give a **** about the covid, but even if you don’t care, a cafe/restaurant should never be so careless about hygiene. (Especially during covid) That been said, I still want to say that I really like their flat white! Thanks!!

Patio dining is not recommended when exercise classes are underway as loud music overwhelms all other aspects of the dining experience. (This is a repeating refrain i read now in the comments and not a one-off occurrence while we were there. ) The food is great. We had inspiring, tasty vegan options. But the setting on the patio was very poor and outweighed our appreciation of the care taken with the food. On Saturday mornings you are sitting outside an exercise gym which was so loud that it made conversation impossible. We were glad to leave and wished we had ordered the food to go. So while the food is great, as a dining / brunch experience with friends you lose the vital element of good dining - sharing thoughts and laughter and love.

Very cool place. Mostly vegan food with some choice animal proteins. The menu has a nice variety of the usual plant-based brunch fare along with some more unexpected items. The salad, dessert, and drink my friend and I tried were packed with flavour - the salad had possibly the best tempeh I've ever had. The staff is really friendly and works hard to create a welcoming environment. Prices are a little high (what you'd expect for this kind of place) but not wallet-breaking for every now and then. I just checked out the cafe but they have an attached fitness studio and activewear/merch shop.

TurF is a go-to spot for vegan / vegetarian fare, yummy drinks, and baked goods. Their protein pancake is a glorious stack of goodness if you’re really hungry for brunch. There are some nice ledges along the window to sit and watch the street life in Kits on a Saturday afternoon, which is nice! I would recommend avoiding the times of day that a fitness class ends if you can, as the cafe gets super crowded and busy. Their schedule is on the website. But most of the time it’s a chill spot.

We love the granola bowl and the everyday cookies! The green smoothie with pineapple and coconut was also really good.

One of my favorite cafe in Vancouver, it’s not for coffee but I love the atmosphere, it’s nice that they also have fitness studio.

MY FAV KITS SPOT! Kits vibes through and through! The food is insanely DELICIOUS and all of the drinks make my mouth happy. Highly recommend! + great patio + great workout & yoga classes TurF is a vibe. ✌️ ❤️

Turf is definitely my comfort go-to spot for breakfast, lunch and dessert. The staffs are super friendly, and the environment is great. I love spending hours here to have delicious food while reading books quietly. (Reminder: this is a cafe without wifi) Since I’m a frequent customer, I basically tried everything on the menu as well as the bakery selection. The new menu is well-developed and have lots of exciting options including the protein pancake and shakshuka. The protein pancake is super fluffy with crispy touches from the granola. The sour lemon ricotta “cheese” and berry jam provide interesting balance to the dish. I was sad to know that turf no longer held my favourite French toast, but this pancake is a game changer. Shakshuka is also recommended. The soft, bouncy tofu inside makes it super interesting. The “toasts” are things I will highly recommend. I have tried the mushroom + ricotta and edamame + kimchi. Never thought that roasted yam could make good match in replacement of regular toasts, but those toasts opened my eyes. For every toast dish, there is combination of different textures and flavours. Love their attempts to put edamame hummus with kimchi, and it has become my new favourite. The vegan(and gluten free) bakery is what initially drew me to this place. Haven’t been exposed to vegan bakery before, so I was interested to try things different. I love their gluten free muffins. Those have slightly bouncy texture, and unlikely to the moist (aka oily) muffins that I have from other regular bakery. I also enjoy the fact that the muffins aren’t too sweet. The everyday cookies are also great. Though I’m team crispy cookies, the everyday cookies are the soft cookies that I love. I also love the granola bowl. The crunchy house made granola is topped with coconut yogurt, almond butter, chia pudding, berry compote, and fresh fruit.
