1. Brioche Urban Baking & Catering
Vancouver, BC V6B 1E5
(604) 682-4037
If you ever find yourself walking along Gastown's Cordova Street and hear your tummy rumbling, skip the Cambie (with its greasy fries and $3.25 pints) and check out Brioche Urban Bakery and Catering. Here you can choose from home-made gelato,…More »

(604) 904-2366
Categories:
Local Flavour,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Lynn Valley
In 1910, the Lynn Valley Street Car line came to an end at the top of Lynn Valley Road, and a small shack offered groceries and refreshments to sightseers and hikers heading out on the trails of Mount Seymour. Nearly 100 years later, The End of the…More »

4. Thomas Haas Fine Chocolates & Patisserie
It's the same feeling Charlie must have had when he walked through the doors of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The aroma that wafts through Thomas Haas's bakery in North Van is enough to tickle your taste buds and make you swoon. Everything on…More »
5. Wicked Café
Vancouver, BC V6H 1B8
(604) 733-9425
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Sure, there's a Starbucks (or two... or three) around the corner from my apartment, but I love nothing better on a sunny (or rainy) Sunday morning than to buy a copy of the weekend paper and head just east of South Granville Street to The Wicked…More »
6. Wired Monk
I'm headed to one of my favourite neighbourhood joints -- the Wired Monk -- tonight for a CD release party, so I thought I'd do up a little review on the place today.
Basically, this coffee shop is like Jekyll and Hyde -- in a good way. During the day…More »
7. Trees Organic Coffee
Trees Organic Coffee has been a family run staple on downtown Vancouver's Granville Street for over a decade. Reportedly, it was a pioneer in serving fair-trade and organic coffees in the city. These days, the café also offers shade-grown,…More »
8. Secret Garden Tea Company
Vancouver, BC V6M 3W6
(604) 261-3070
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
As one of the most popular drinks in the world (besides Coke), there IS an art to making tea. At Kerrisdale's Secret Garden Tea Company, you can rediscover the art of High Tea (served at 12 p.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.), or just enjoy a cup and a good…More »
9. Terra Breads
Consistently voted one of Vancouver's best bakeries (if not THE best in the city), pretty much everything in Terra Breads -- including the fresh-baked goods, sandwiches, soups, and cookies -- is delicious. I've also been known to pick up a loaf of…More »
10. Bean Brothers Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 266-2185
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
Mmm... coffee: The drink almost all adults and near-adults enjoy (and, many times, NEED). Vancouver is the right place to enjoy it. Nowhere else in Canada can you find as many places to enjoy "the best coffee" around.
When I attended high school in…More »
11. 49th Parallel Coffee
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 420-4901
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Even though I'm a die-hard Starbucks fan, I decided to give 49th Parallel Coffee a try the other day. The result? I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out, 49th is owned by the same people of Artigiano (which I love, but is a little out of the way to…More »
12. Soup Etc
Vancouver, BC V6J 5K9
(604) 737-7620
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I'm actually sitting at a desktop computer in Soup Etc. on West Broadway Avenue typing this review right now. This little coffee shop/restaurant serves snacks and light meals (including, as its name suggests, fresh, delicious varieties of soup), and…More »

Vancouver, BC V6K 1N9
(604) 739-6676
Categories:
Health Food Store,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Can you believe Capers first opened its doors way back in 1985? I believe that was even before most people truly understood what "organic" meant!
Over two decades later, Capers Community Market is still going strong, with that first flagship store in…More »
14. Autumn Brook Artist Gallery - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6J 1L6
(604) 737-2363
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Granted, I didn't visit this small, sunny space, located on West Fourth Avenue, adjacent to Granville Island and under the Granville Street Bridge, exclusively to view the art. Rather, my good friends, Earl and Jeanine Gordon, rented the gallery for…More »
15. Solly's Bagelry
Mmmmmm! I love Solly's for its fresh-baked goods, its as-close-to-Montreal-style-as- you-can-get-in-the-west bagels, and the delicious aroma it allows to waft out its almost-always open door and on to the street.
If you're just coming in for a snack,…More »
16. Café Zen On Yew
Vancouver, BC V6K 3E6
(604) 731-4018
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
When it comes to breakfast, the neighbourhood of Kitsilano offers plenty of choices. But, of the money local places to eat the first meal of the day, I prefer Cafe Zen on Yew Street above the rest. Though the space is small, the weekend pre- and…More »
17. Yoka's Coffee - CLOSED
Whether you drink coffee or not, treat yourself to a trip to Yoka's Coffee & Honey on West Broadway, where a beautiful aroma hits you as soon as you walk through the door.
Yoka's java offerings are fresh, varied, and delicious, and you would be hard…More »

(604) 569-3338
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Scoop is a new venture on 4th Avenue in Vancouver's cool Kitsilano hood. I went in to check it out this past weekend, having passed by it many times on my way to and from work and running errands.
With a few wooden tables set up, there's not much…More »
