The new location will have a seafood focus, paying homage to the previous Chewies’ spot. Guests can expect to enjoy brunch, lunch, and dinner seven days a week from 11 am to 11 pm.

Cobs Bread – Cambie
Cobs is opening a new location on Cambie Street and West 8th, which means Vancouverites will soon have another spot to frequent for their fave Cobs orders, and birthday cinnamon buns!
