Welcome to ARC Cafe, a beloved gem nestled within the heart of Abbotsford, BC! Located at 34690 Old Yale Rd, this charming cafe is not just a stop for a meal but an experience that celebrates community and culinary delight.

ARC Cafe prides itself on a menu that caters to a variety of tastes while staying true to its roots in casual cafe fare.

Easily the best turkey club house and fries in Abby. They pile this sandwich high with fresh ingredients, toast it perfectly every time and even pepper the tomatoes The fries are crispy and delicious, and the portion can easily feed 2-3 people! I have to fight the urge not to have these every time I'm done at the gym If you haven't had either of these options at the cafe, you won't be disappointed trying them! The staff is so friendly too! 10/10
