1. Spices
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W5
(604) 876-6618
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
Baby it's cold outside...and my hands are just like ice! The steamy windowed Spices was the perfect way to warm up.
Like their hearty and flavourful pho broth, this is a strong and fragrant 3 stars. The salad rolls were plentiful with green leaf…More »
2. Trixi's Crepe & Coffeehaus
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W5

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Creperies
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
It would be hard not to have a soft spot for a coffee shop where the server (maybe the owner?) comes over and takes your order...
The overstuffed chairs in the back made me want to curl up and read, but alas, this was not the time! I watched as my…More »
3. Pho English - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1R2
(604) 568-6699
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Eerily quiet with no one else in sight at 7 pm on a weeknight, I couldn't help but wonder what time people eat their pho. But judging by the lunchtime specials and their banh mi, I'm thinking that they capture a solid lunch crowd. And they should!

4. Sha Lin Noodle House
I'll make this chop chop, unlike the service we got tonight.
-Cutting noodles, cucumber and pork - meh, the noodles were a bit underdone and while I love cucumber, this dish just didn't do it for me.
-Dumplings with pork and bok choy - alright

5. 3G Vegetarian Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W8
(604) 568-9008
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
Sad that I had not been to Bo Kong before it closed, I was determined to get me to 3G, having heard such good things. And yes, I was impressed!
The menu is extensive and since there was so many yummy sounding dishes my dinner date and I decided on 3:…More »
6. Peaceful Restaurant
Like walking into an entirely other place: a memory of Hong Kong perhaps, or maybe one from my childhood when my mother would take us to some hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown. Either way, the hand drawn shanghai noodles with pork and the crispy tofu…More »
7. My Best Friend's Closet
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W2
(604) 879-6232
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, South Cambie, Riley Park
7.5 shoes in the front (all other shoes in the back, and plenty of them), racks labeled with S, M, L, Maternity, Dresses, Evening Gowns etc... I can't think of anything I don't like here!
No musty smell. No "rifling." This is how I was meant to…More »

Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
Raspberry black forest cupcake -- I think I'm in love with your moist dark chocolate body and your REAL raspberry frosting top (plus seeds)
In my dream world I am sitting on top of a pillowy cloud (likely made of whip cream) and I have a tower of…More »
9. Beans Central
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W6
(604) 872-3366
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
If you camp out long enough, chances are you'll make a trip to the loo. It's clean, and possibly recently redone. It has an almost "hotel" like feel to it. Plus they have that perfume-y soap that makes you think of the '80s or a hospital, or a gramma…More »

(604) 873-4543
Categories:
Children's Clothing,
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
It's pretty common now, that the answer to the question "Guess What?" in a few of my circles of friends is "I'm Pregnant!" So, I duck into kids stores looking for cool stuff that an "auntie" like me would want to give. Wooden toys, cool local made…More »

Sugar, aw honey, honey, you are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you.... http://www.youtube.com...
How can you not sway your hips and jiggle your stuff all the way down the aisle at Honey? The staff is knowledgeable and available but without…More »
12. The Home Grow-in Grocer - CLOSED
Cash only. But wait - I still went home with cauliflower in one hand and a split pea soup mix in the other because these fantastic folks have an honour system. Next time I'm in, I owe em $7. Say what? Does the honour system and trust still exist, by…More »
13. La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop
I'm a little self conscious around my Mexican friends. I am worried they will not be blown away by La Taqueria. So yes we scoffed at the high price of a taco, when compared with our southern friends. But it was pretty clear to see by the plateS of…More »
