Double Takes: not all locations are made the same
See All Lists
1. Granville Island Keg
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R5
(604) 685-4735
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
With all Keg's being the same, but not- this one is reliable but defiitely not the best location. It's conveniently located on the tourist-friendly Granville Island and is generally reliable for all things red meat.
But take note:
1) For some reason…More »
2. Keg Yaletown
Vancouver, BC V6B 5P9
(604) 633-2534
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Yeah, it's the "sexy" keg.
This is like your favourite keg but ultra glammed up- taking the best lesson from cactus club: Hot servers and yuppie-vibe.
This IS the best keg location with like..3 floors, a massive heated rooftop patio that soaks up all…More »
3. Caffe Barney
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E4
(604) 568-0426
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Not all Barney's are created Equally.
A shabby attempt at copying the original on Granville street, this main street version is just too sanitized and cold. It doesn't nearly have the home-made feel that the original has and its modelled after some…More »
4. Caffe Barney
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J6
(604) 731-6446
Categories:
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Hangover Breakfast. YES
The original Caffe Barney never fails to impress.
I have been coming here for about a decade to have my breakfasts with friends or even alone. Breakfasts are served late into the day so don't fret if you wake up late.
Everything…More »
5. Coppertank Grill - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P1
(604) 569-2494
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I understand what they thought.
The kits version was so cool... all wooden interior, student bar vibe, great mix between sports bar and live music shindig.
unfortunately this location did not emulate ANY of those properties.
this cold austere bar is…More »
6. Coppertank Grill
Vancouver, BC V6K 2H2
(604) 731-6565
Categories:
Sports Bars,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
DAMN, I hate the CHANGES!
This went from "yay- i'm a regular" straight down to two stars.
This used to be the classic dive bars with the slightly sticky tables but awesome beer and awesome service.
Then they had their first reno and cleaned up a bit-…More »

7. Cafe Crepe
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1E4
(604) 806-0834
Categories:
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
by FAR THE WORST resto of the chain
Don't even think this location is as good as the others
Located right on the granville strip you get a host of gross patrons who want to get drunk on cheap beer, go out to the clubs, and then come back here late at…More »
8. Cafe Crepe
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A7
(604) 488-0045
Categories:
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
As a chain, cafe crepe has done pretty well in Vancouver. This is my favourite location downtown. It's clean and has good service.
Most patrons are here for an a break from robson street shopping- it's an excellent place to have a break/snack.
The…More »

By FAR THE BEST LOCATION
I have been going to this Cafe Crepe for years.
I still love it even through they have doubled the size and increased the prices.
They have excellent staff at this location
Great view of the street
Great resto layout
Best during…More »
10. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B5
(604) 254-3723
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I generally love the JJ bean chain but this location just doesn't compare to the one on Main & 14th.
reasons why i'd go somewhere else when on the Drive:
-JJ bean roasts its own coffee- which is awesome- BUT this location just smells funky because of…More »
11. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 879-2326
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I'd live here if they let me.
top notch chai from a mainstream chain.
used to be a cool more indie vibe to the place but it has recently been inundated by the hipster-crowd. and not just any hipster crowd. but the type of hipster that…More »
12. Chapters
Chapter's Downtown- you aw-ight.
Not to be mistakened with the ultra rad location on Broadway (see http://www.yelp.ca/biz...)
this location is just meh. Yeah, all chapters are more or less thge same but this location has a bit of a grimy feel to it.…More »
13. Chapters
Vancouver, BC V6H 3G7
(604) 731-7822
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I generally don't have much love for big chain stores but this is a bookstore I can really get behind.
I love books. And I love this location of chapters. I can sit on that second floor for hours browsing and reading books and then not buying them.…More »
14. Ebisu On Robson
Vancouver, BC V6E 3Y4
(604) 689-8266
I came here again and the quality diminished. The rolls were sloppy, smaller, too much rice- and the sushi rice was much too vinegary.
Hopefully this is just one bad experience but it was enough to send my star-age down a point.
(I do, however highly…More »

Recently updated lists from Melissa F.
Financial District/St.Lawrence Hangouts (10)Here's a list of solid places that are tried, tested and true. by me!I enjoy these places so much that I will go there over and over and over and over again. |
I'd destroy my liver for you: Best BEER in Toronto (6)I'm making my favourite bar list- probably not different than most lists- but this is my favourite places to grab a pint any hour of any day because apparently I hate my liver or at least need to desperately test the limits of its ability to regenerate. |
February Food-Free Yelping Challenge (8)Foodless February: Yelping NON-food places- the most difficult yelp challenge yet!Feeling like yelp should have so much more to offer than foodie reviews? C'mon, we're more than just Chowhound with yelpstick- let's do some NON-food places for Feb 2012! |
"I'm sitting here RIGHT NOW"- Fave work-Cafes w/ FREE WIFI (9)are you FUNemployed and work on your laptop a LOT?Here are some of my regular cafes that I work at that have quality espresso and a comfortable vibe for me to work. |
Travelling Solo #1: Seattle (38)I'm a big fan of travelling solo. Here's my itinerary in case any other ladies are looking to do similar type of touristing, bar hopping, cafe people watching and dance-cations. All rated on the degree of solo friendliness.(fyi- i went down w/ a group of girls and stayed after for a few days by myself) |
You are severely overrated. Yes, YOU. OVERRATED! (11)This is a list of places that are ridiculously overrated and I try my darndest to avoid.Some may get angry at some places I chose, but I promise you, they really aren't that good and you MAY need to get your taste buds checked. |
Cozy up by the Fireplace: Winter picks! (2)It's cold. It's gross. Why don't we make it a lot LESS gross by cozying up against the fireplace? |
Donnelly Group FAIL (7)Why does the Donnelly Group own everything in this town? And why do they suck SO much. Please stop doing so badly- you made a good pub once. It was called Biminis. It burnt down. Along with your talent at replicating that experience with your CHAIN OF FAILURE.= ) |
Croissants: Lard always makes things better (9)I always thought I kind of hated croissants. Turns out it was because I was eating BAD croissants. So now I'll only eat a perfect buttery flakey croissant- so if you are picky like me- you want to read this list. |
Indian craving? EAT HERE (7)After a strange NON-pregnancy induced craving for Indian food I tried several AYCE buffets within 2 weeks. In case you ever go through the same gluttony here is your go-to guide! |

Toronto, ON
Yelping SinceMarch 2009
Things I Love Find Me Inthe city.
When I'm Not Yelping...I'm adventuring, academicizing or peer pressuring.
Why You Should Read My ReviewsI balance out gluttony with reviewing non-eating places too.
