    While visiting Vancouver, we had brunch at Maxine’s Cafe & Bar. The food was delicious, but the service and personal attention truly stood out. Our server, Jana, was incredibly attentive and personable—we even had the chance to chat and get to know her. By the end of our visit, we asked for a selfie to remember her by! The manager, Hugh, also stopped by to chat and made us feel especially welcome. To top it all off, Jana surprised us with a small specialty hot chocolate at the end of our meal—a thoughtful and memorable touch. All in all, it was a 10 out of 10 experience.
