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.

    I had an reservation for Patio because I have a small dog ( My dog is under 10 pounds ). When I walk in to the restaurant the waitress pull an extra chair for my dog to sit . I put my dog's car seat on the chair and my dog is sit inside the car seat. We were sitting at the Conner and just about to order the food. Another waiter tell us to put my dog under the table. Restaurant employees should know the rules instead of one person say okay and the other one say no. I was so unset. If a big dog I would understand they have to sit under the table. My dog is under 10 pounds. I walk out without order any food. I will past my experience To all my friends.

    Dear Irene, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly apologize for the confusion regarding our pet policy. While we understand how upsetting this situation was, it is important to note that BC provincial regulations require dogs to remain on the ground at all times in dining establishments. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure our staff is better informed about these regulations to prevent any future misunderstandings. We value your patronage and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, Fina Klaudia Management Assistant fina@thestory.cafe

    Food was okay and service was decent. I liked the latte art on the chai latte I ordered. After 9:45pm they only serve their happy hour menu which consists of appetizers and drinks, so no entrees. I noted in my reservation that it was for a birthday, but there wasn’t any acknowledgment of the occasion. We brought a cake which they allowed us to store with them while we dined. We took it home after we were done.

    We loved it! The decor is great with all the photos of old movie stars etc. We had the lobster gnocchi, risotto with scallops and prawns and mixed salad with baretta on top . Everything was delicious.
