I have been going here religiously for the last year. Lana is the best nail tech ever, I will only go to her for my gels. They have a great range of offerings and the prices are extremely reasonable. I love getting gels there and they do the…More »

Best gelato I have had in vancouver, they also make a mean cappucino. I like the atmosphere there (I always enjoy places where I hear more European languages than english). Super busy on weekend nights.
Can I give Choices a 6 star review, take it to Vegas with me, elope with it, and live a long and happy life together?
As you can see from my first review I like the organic and wheat/gluten free products and baking supplies, and lean meats at…More »
This is by far the best grocer in the area, and the only one I find has good selection of organic… Read more »
For being outside the city, this place is crazy busy. I've always had a consistently good time there, I like the weekends where you can hit the dancefloor with friends, sit and chat in a booth, or shoot some pool. The crowd is a good mix in age, they…More »
I have walked by this place loads of time on my way to Choices, and finally last night made the effort to go in.
The place is quaint, clean, and the decor is up-to-date vietnemese theme (it is a vegetarian Vietemense place after all). My only…More »
Best sushi in the area - great selection. I don't actually eat seafood although my boyfriend does and we both love it because the selection is great for us both. He's gotten some strange rolls there which he likes. service is always very prompt,…More »
I love this place and have for years. It has a kinda funky vibe inside, the decor is really neat. This sounds like a strange comment, but the bathrooms in there are really neat.
i have ordered all sorts of pastas there before and haven't found one I…More »
I think Costco is a great invention, and I love having this handy location. I think I have been foruntate and havent wandered in at really busy times yet. I like that I find random things I am not necessarily looking for there, plus shopping in bulk…More »
Time for a refresh on the John B!
One a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago I decided apres work patio drinks were a necessity with my fella. I wanted sun, and the Foggy patio wasn't all sun (and pay parking booo!) So we headed to the John B.
I freakin…More »

Some told me about Rocky Mountain and their decatant [and pricey] caramel apples. As a lover of any time caramel and apple meet in one fine fusion this was promptly added to my must have list of places to try.

Now I'm not a fish person really, they exist and I exist I prefer to live separately, however my fiance is a huge fan of anything to do with fish (not in the creepy Troy McClure kinda way of course) - so to thank him for putting up with my retail…More »
Okay, okay... I wrote a mediocre review about the Dallany's in Coquitlam Center; nonetheless my lovely boyfriend bought me my beloved ring which desperately needed to be sized thanks to my unusally small hands/fingers.
Avoid the "bad" location which…More »
Lets get two things about me cleared up right away: one - I hate cooking, so much so that I cannot actually stomach the taste of anything I make really (others can for some reason), and two, since I hate cooking I am extremely lazy about it and want…More »
I woke up one morning and when thinking about my need for a morning coffee, it hit me, I needed a croissant. Or some sort of delcious morning pastry to start my day off right.
I spotted this place a while ago and thought I would try it out.

Good greasy diner food, they have a peanut butter mocha which is probably the nicest mocha I have ever drinken. Recommended :)
My grandmother always raved about Liquidation World. She bought loads of odds and ends. One day I decided to check it out myself and was sincerely excited to find giant mugs [for those who require copious amounts of coffee in the morning] which…More »

This place would fall under the dive bar, but it has a surprisingly nice covered patio. I have only been here a few times and don't find the aesthetic quality to be great, but the service is decent, the beer is good, it covers the basic requirements…More »
I wouldn't call it a dive bar, but I wouldn't call it a nice pub, I guess it is a middle layer. I will start off by saying the bathrooms are impeccably clean, which is rarely seen in a pub.
Woody's is handy for the Burquitlam area; the pub is big…More »
Put a tasty gelato cafe in the middle of a cute little village style strip mall and I will try it.
When you actually try this place you will just fall in love. The gelato is Italy quality and it actually has that feeling of being some far away place…More »
While wandering the mall, I know I need something, need to spend some money on something, burning a whole through my pocket and all... and what better necessity than fruits and veggies?
The great thing about Kin's is the random things they have. One…More »
Now, imagine Roosters, but without all the fights and more country dancing....

Although this place has grand theatres known for their comfortable seats... I don't like the rigid seats. I'm sorry, but they are too vertical. I do quite enjoy the generous leg room and the seats are quite wide as well so it feels spacey and you're…More »

I need to lower my review. Severely.
Background: since I don't have a family doctor I frequently receive sub-par medical care. So I have taken to diagnosing myself. I'm actually good at it. Typically a doctor's visit for me is I walk in, say I'm sick…More »
In absense of a family doctor, this is easily my favorite walk in clinic in the Burquitlam area. I… Read more »
