Francisco’s Cafe & Catering has been a neighbourhood favourite in Abbotsford for over 12 years, known for its full-flavoured coffees and made-from-scratch comfort food. Walk in and you’ll notice the open kitchen and the scent of fresh baking, a reliable sign that meals are prepared on site daily. They’re the kind of local spot people recommend when you want a hearty breakfast, a reliable lunch, or catering that turns an ordinary meeting into something a bit more memorable.

The menu covers morning to early evening with clear strengths. Start with their signature Cortado or a single-origin pour-over, or try the Francisco’s Breakfast Bowl, a generous mix of roasted Yukon potatoes, two eggs, house chorizo and chipotle crema. Lunch favourites include the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with house-made slaw, and the seasonal grain bowl that rotates every month. Their catering menu serves groups from 10 to 200, with choices like tray-passed empanadas, boxed lunches with local green salad, and full buffet breakfasts including baked frittatas and cinnamon buns. They source Fairtrade coffee beans and work with local bakeries for some pastries, keeping ingredient lists transparent.

The team is small but experienced, led by owner and chef Francisco Muñoz, who trained in Vancouver and returned to Abbotsford to open the cafe. Staff know regulars by name, manage dietary requests (gluten-free and vegan options clearly marked), and can put together customised catering quotes within 48 hours. Service is relaxed but efficient, with many customers praising the consistent timing for catering drop-offs and the clear, itemised invoices.

Locals choose Francisco’s because it feels like an independent cafe that can scale when needed. They support community events, supply coffee to two nearby offices, and offer Thursday evening community dinner nights in the 1,200 sq ft dining area. For orders or bookings call 604-864-8221.
