1. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Ok-
So it's more than I'd like to pay for a breakfast meal (I'm ALL about deals tho) but the presentation is beautiful and the lavender mocha ROCKS MY WORLD!!
For breaky, I reccommend the artery-clogging skillet. Smoked applewood cheddar + brisket (i…More »
2. George Lounge
Vancouver, BC V6B 5P6
(604) 628-5555
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
The drinks made here are made with fresh ingredients (all visible on the island in the bartenders area) and are really good. And pricey. Ladies, it's a good place to get your pretty on. ; )
3. Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie
What I love:
The atmosphere- comfy, romantic and charming
The decor- creative, classy and funky
The drinks- FABULOUS- made with extra care, fresh ingredients (one of them, love) and are packed with flavor (I tried the plum drink and the pina colada)
The…More »
4. Lulu Island Winery
Big fan! We went here last week, sampled every wine, and enjoyed being out of the big city (yet so close!). The Late Harvest Merlot (8 on the sweetness scale) and the raspberry wine were the two favorites. I look forward to coming back!
5. Cafe Nuba
Vancouver, BC V5T 1C8
(604) 568-6727
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Lebanese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Delicious, healthy, flavourful, cute. Loved the food and the unique space-- off the beaten path yet packed to the brim with people! The smoothies and crispy cauliflower wowed. The olives with feta starter-- weak presentation (not too surprising)…More »
6. Delilah's Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6G 1P5
(604) 687-3424
Categories:
Lounges,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: West End
Clearly a place that is known for its martini's can't (and doesn't need to) have great food... right?
Well, my impression was challenged when Ty took me here for a hot date! YEAH baby!
They seated us in a plush velvet booth with curtains that could…More »
7. Coo Coo Coffee
I'm totally coo coo for Coo Coo Coffee! I came here today for a work date (so romantic, I know) and Ty & I shared a table... now the tables are small (really small) but after finishing our fantastic mochas (absolutely perfect...I uploaded a pic of…More »

Hawaii 5-0 alert!
Needing a mini vaca? The pina colada smoothie at Green Leaf is absolutely decadent. Thanks to Marc D for pointing this keeper out!
The too-bad-so-sad: they were out of pearls. Darn. I settled for diabetes-in-a-cup (coconut jelly) and…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Fraserview
DUDE!
The fresh kiwi slush bubble tea is what dreams, mankini's and puppies are made of!
Holy fraaaack, so fresh with punchy deliciousness.
The milk teas aren't overly sweet (that's a good thing), but not overly life altering either... because why go…More »

(604) 681-8212
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I came here for a wifi date and though the wifi was hit and miss the tea was amazing! Order in and enjoy your cha in a ridiculously tall glass. Yes, size IS everything so go for broke.
I regretfully abstained from pearls (must come back soon to try)…More »

Categories:
Caterers,
Caribbean,

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Seeking an island getaway? Save some Lauriers and head over to The Reef. I went on a rainy night and let me say, I was in blissful denial of winter. Low lit with Jamaican beats and comfort food... how can you not have your spirits lifted? Between 6…More »
12. Kafka's Coffee and Tea
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E5
(604) 569-2967
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Kafkas, Main street's java sweetheart, sits conveniently on Main at Broadway. There's *some* free parking nearby which is a bonus if you'd rather spend money on something you can put in your mouth. Um...this is awkward.
The highlight of my visit?…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Please, for the love of everything good in this world, try their macarons. Almond-flavoured mini sandwiches of delicate sweetness. One bite and I was catapulted to euphoria. Oh please, can I just have one (make that ten) more..?
**Note: Due to space…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 2X6
(604) 633-3929
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Cold Blaster Tea: Delicious.
One sip gives you a kick of ginger with the sweetness of orange and honey. Enough citrus to kick your cold in the as$ while delicious enough to want to double fist it (bye bye Buckleys).
Whatever magic ingredients they put…More »
15. Sejuiced Vegetarian Restaurant

Categories:
Vegetarian,
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
With a whimpering liver (Tales Of The Cocktail--so worth it), I'm craving my favourite hangover remedy, the 'Liver Cleanser'. With freshly-juiced organics such as beets, apples and ginger, it burns all the way down and roundhouse kicks my nausea to…More »
