1. David Watts Notary Public
Vancouver, BC V6B 1N2
(604) 685-7786
Categories:
Notaries,
Real Estate
Neighbourhood: Downtown
After a long, drawn out, bumpy road to a real estate purchase paved with mortgage brokers and financial planners who continued to drop the ball on us, spending an hour with David was like a dream.
To start, Brandy and Natasha-- who are part of…More »

8/22/2009 First to Review
It was quick, it was painless -- just how you want a visit to the dentist to be! But wait, this is a… Read more »
2. Simms David L
"Oh, bloody hell!" says I, as I jam another receipt into the overflowing heap of little crumpled papers. "I'll sort this out later." Later meaning, at tax time.... the time of year that I loathe!
But somehow, my accountant, Dave Simms, is able to make…More »
3. Yaletown Mini Storage
Vancouver, BC V6B 2P6
(604) 683-5885
Category:
Self Storage
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
What can I say. They've been nothing but accommodating for my picky requests.
-I want a smaller locker
-No I want a bigger locker
-No, not that locker, this one, it's taller
-I mean this one, it's wider
(Who am I Goldilocks?)
I thought I had the best deal…More »
4. Vancouver Animal Emergency Clinic
Vancouver, BC V6J 1L7
(604) 734-5104
Category:
Veterinarians
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Like most sad/rough/tough things in life you learn lots about various subjects. Like this week. I learned that male, indoor cats are susceptible to cystitis which could equal big bladder problems for your beloved feline.
When Bailey and I arrived on…More »
5. U-Haul
This is the weirdest store/Uhaul ever.
For the location and Uhaul-ness of it, this is a 4 star. The service may be slow, the language barriers may cause a phone riff, but the guy means well (I think). And its close by! Out back there's a few choice…More »
6. Regency Volkswagen
All the way out to Coquitlam, I drive every few months. I wake up early, make the journey/ It's all for "Gwen." My Golf VW gets all of her work done here for many reasons but in honour of Gwen's upcoming 5th birthday, here are my top five:
-They don't…More »
7. Stevens Virgin Brstr & Solctr
Comforting, reassuring, patient and kind. Betcha didn't think I was going to be giving 5 sexy stars to Mark Virgin, but I just cannot think of one good reason not to.
Sure, he's a lawyer, and I'm sure there's many a yelper who is slapping their knee…More »
8. Designer Closet Guys
You might be thinking: wow! Designer closets? She must have some big extravagant house and hundreds of pairs of shoes :) While the latter part of that statement is only a bit of an exaggeration, swimming in house, I am not. 2 people, living in just…More »
9. Simon Fraser University
Vancouver, BC V6B 0B2
(778) 782-5000
Category:
Colleges & Universities
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Sitting in the "peanut gallery" as the prof used to call those of us who sat in the back of the theatre, I would smugly smile at my good fortune to be in a faculty that had classes downtown instead of the prison-like institution up the mountain.…More »
10. West End Community Centre
Vancouver, BC V6G 2L8
(604) 257-8333
Categories:
Parks,
Fitness & Instruction,
Skating Rinks
Neighbourhood: West End
If I were writing Hallmark cards they might sound a little something like these:
1) Happy Anniversary, May 31. You make getting my parking pass so easy and so cheap to own. Thanks for the last magical four years!
2) Remember how fun skating was when…More »
11. Clarkdale Volkswagen
"Jetta" Patio, Lounge and Cafe? I had no idea this was up the stairs! It's heaven sent when you've got a 3 hour servicing ahead of you. Unfortunately, I never did find the password for the Wi-Fi and it did appear that this was also the lunch room for…More »
12. Larch Grocery and Flowers
Vancouver, BC V6K 2E9
(604) 738-7017
Category:
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
First off, I would never, ever buy anything here. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling and in between bags of chips, dust covers all. However, the Asian couple that runs this store are so nice! I have visions that if I'm going to win the lottery it's going…More »
13. Clearly Contacts
Vancouver, BC V5M 4X6
(866) 414-2326
Category:
Eyewear & Opticians
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
I just got a pair of the most ghetto sunglasses. They make me wanna sport converse with holes in the soles, thread bare jeans and a bike without brakes. I think I get the sentiment, but WTF?
Outside of that little snafu, Clearly Contacts gets my…More »
14. Sage Clinic
Vancouver, BC V6B 2G2
(604) 697-0397
Categories:
Acupuncture,
Naturopathic/Holistic
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I've been one of Dr. Julie Moore's patient's/client's since 2005... except for I took a 4 year naturopathic break. But now I'm back and ready to brave the tinctures, take the remedies, and dang it, be preventative when it comes to my own health. Here…More »
15. Td Bank Financial Group
Vancouver, BC V6M 1Z1
(604) 261-1301
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
Clean? Check!
Standard? Check!
I like TD's. The forest green colour, the typically smiling clerks, the convenience of multiple locations, long and weekend hours. Basically the necessities one needs in a bank.
This was the first time I'd been to the…More »
16. Azim Jamal Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 2M3
(604) 733-0737
Category:
Accountants
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, South Cambie
Oh tax time. It's a troubled time. A time for math, confusing clauses and all other things government. But lucky for me, I found Rheanna's review in the nick of time. Farzana is on the ball! She gave me money saving tips (like tally up your own…More »
17. Kerrisdale Station Medical Clinic
Five minutes is not an appropriate wait time to dial through searching for the right extension or person to speak to. No, I do not want botox, no this is not a medical emergency. All I really want to do is make an appointment.
When I was finally able…More »
18. Urban Active Sport Therapy Clinic
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1G3
(604) 669-8233
Category:
Health and Medical
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I'm glad that I don't have much to compare Urban Active, or Eric to, for that matter. The only times I've had to endure the pain of stretching out aching hamstrings, or being suction cupped to a machine, have been but twice in my life. Once over a 2…More »
19. ICBC
Vancouver, BC V5Y 3Z3
(604) 871-2300
Categories:
Insurance,
Automotive
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
It's never a good day when you have to go to ICBC because of a fender bender, or in my case, a hit and run. I've had enough run-ins with ICBC adjusters that I had my guard up, no doubt about it... but this was different...
My adjuster, Mariane…More »
20. Thomas Richard MD
Vancouver, BC V5Z 3Y1
(604) 731-5353
Category:
Dermatologists
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Every year around my birthday I can be certain of three things: a camping trip, a vodka watermelon and a trip to the dermatologist. Gotta love freckles...
And even more you have to heart a dermatologist who shakes your hand annually and smiles the…More »
21. Vitality Chiropractic And Sports Therapy
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 687-7678
Categories:
Nutritionists,
Chiropractors,
Acupuncture
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
A perfect spot for a wellness clinic. Pushed back from the street, on a treelined courted off section of a kinda quiet street downtown, Vitality occupies one of the few heritage homes on this block. If you close your eyes and zen out a bit you'll…More »
22. painPRO Therapeutics
Vancouver, BC V6C 1N5
(604) 684-0029
Categories:
Massage,
Physical Therapy
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Yelp led me to Registered Massage Therapist, Sonya Scheer http://www.yelp.ca/biz... who has very recently opened her own clinic downtown. For Sonya's regulars, this means she's in one location, and it's her name that's framed on the wall of her…More »
23. Allwest Insurance Services Autoplan
Vancouver, BC V6J 3G9
(604) 736-1969
Category:
Insurance
Neighbourhoods: Kitsilano, Fairview Slopes
You know what kinda sucks? The fact that ICBC won't change billing information through email or over the phone. You have to go into an autoplan broker, which wouldn't be so bad, except, I'm one of those types who relies on my insurance broker to come…More »
24. Td Bank Financial Group
Vancouver, BC V6G 1V9
(604) 683-5644
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhood: West End
Bidwell, I like you. I've been banking with you for over 5 years. I like that I can use my West End Permit parking, or take advantage of your parking spots. Your lines are never very long, usually it's only a few deep. Your staff are smily. But I…More »
25. Qi Integrated Health
Vancouver, BC V6K 2G3
(604) 742-8383
Categories:
Acupuncture,
Chiropractors
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Qi's got some good things going for it: great location, ample parking, good website. Aesthetically speaking, I'm only a fan of the sign, a beacon of blue awning from the street. Once inside though, it's quite cluttered. The waiting room is tiny and…More »
