About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
The origin of The Story Café emerged from the mantra “There is a story in everything”
So in 2018 when we fell upon a 30 year old warehouse, we saw the potential to transform the abandoned space into a warm, hospitable, unique eatery. Through consistent innovation, research and dedication we managed to blend our affinity for coffee, music, food and antique into a ambient mélange of vintage and nostalgia. Today, we proudly present our eatery to newcomers and are considered a staple in the Richmond community!

We are excited to share with you that our restaurant has been voted for the OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2023 and 2024 award for multiple categories in Vancouver! This prestigious award is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences and top-notch service to our customers.

    We managed to send a full water glass flying off the table. It shattered into a million pieces. The staff were amazingly kind snd efficient in sweeping and moping up the mess. So - wonderful service, reliably good food and there was an excellent musician/singer playing some of our favorite songs. If they kept it slightly warmer during the cool weather, we’d be totally happy!

    My wife and I love this place. It's so... interesting... and the food is top notch. The fact that the facility is stuck in a sort of a semi-industrial part of town, but it seems to be always busy (reservations are key) says a lot. I don't live in Vancouver, but if I did, I'd try to locate somewhere nearby, so I could visit Story frequently.
