I couldn't wait to get back to Vancouver to try East is East. While cruising Main Street during our last visit, we were offered samples of some of their drinks and rotis. They were delicious little bites and we lamented having already eaten.

Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Riley Park
We've been stopping by Re-Entry Espresso over the years when we've been in town & I have to say I'm surprised by the reviews on yelp thus far. Our family likes this place.
Our orders run the gamut of any espresso place: americanos, lattes, breves…More »
5. Ogenki Sushi
Ogenki is just a little hole in the wall sushi place, not a fancy dress up sushi joint - you come here when you need a fix of some decently prepared sushi or sashimi. Better for take out than dine in. The folks here aim to please, are very…More »

How can you resist a place that has a sidewalk sign that says: "guest bartender: Levar Burton"? Well, unfortunately, we had to because we'd already stopped at 3 other food places on that block Sunday morning!
A tiny eatery on Main Street, we stared…More »

Category:
Bookstores
Neighborhood: Riley Park
What a great addition to the already wonderful Main Street shopping area! I'm a sucker for any independent book store - but a children's independent book store really catches my eye. An interesting note for Seattlites: this shop is run by an ex-pat…More »

This is a great, very tiny video store on the Main Street Stroll. They have an nice selection of independent & foreign films, limited only because of the size of the shop. A few years back we walked into Cinephile and met "Little Britain" (they…More »

This sweet little shop on the Main Street stroll is for those who love the whole "new craft" thang: locally made goods with lots of whimsy or attitude (depending on what flavor you prefer).
It's very small and they don't have tons in here, but what…More »

Bakery Wars: Tacoma (6)Ok, I just used the title to get your attention. There aren't many real, sole proprietor bakeries in Tacoma.And the best cakes in the city are made at Old Milwaukee, where you'll never SEE a pastry on display. You know something's afoot when you gotta order a la speakeasy. Pat is a major sugar addiction pimp. This list is seriously under construction. Here's where you can find the (baked) goods: |
A contrast in burgers (2)Here are two burgers from Tacoma - I just wanted to study the contrasts. For me, it's not the cost as much as the intention, attention to detail and quality. |
Greedy for Toys (5)Inspired by Dru from Vancouver BC - I decided to start working on my favorite toy store list...this is very much under construction because I don't have reviews of Wacko or Gama Go or Giant Robot...how is that possible? I shall soon fix that... |
Tacoma's 6th Ave: Coffee House Row (10)Strange how trends work. When we first moved here from Seattle, there was one coffee shop on 6th. Now look: |
