1. Galloway's Specialty Foods
Richmond, BC V6X 2A5
(604) 270-6363
Categories:
Grocery,
Health Food Store
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
When I was a little girl, I would spend hours at the mall, looking at all of the pretty dresses and shoes -- fantasizing about all of places I could go, all dressed up.
Now, all grown up, when I go to Galloway's, I can spend the better part of an…More »
2. Famous Foods
Vancouver, BC V5N 2R8
(604) 872-3019
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I go out of my way for bulk foods! I don't know if I'll ever need 10kg of quinoa, but it's sure great to know I have the option. With aisles and aisles of reasonable priced spices and grains and cans of beans, veggies and fruits this is the cooks…More »
3. West Valley
That's right. Come, be intrigued by the produce banking my exterior. The colourful peppers and squash, crunchy enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts, the exotic pineapples and papayas. I can see you judging me by my cover. My fresh and well priced fruits…More »
4. BC Liquor Store
Vancouver, BC V6S 2C3
(604) 224-4412
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
Oh, memories. I admit, I still make a special trip to this neighbourhood when I'm in the mood for a liquor store without someone asking me for change. Although, all of the cars in this very small parking lot getting their Tim Hortons can get a bit of…More »
5. Emma Lea Farms
*Thanks for a great season Emma Lea!*
And thank you yelpers! This is exactly how I wanted to start my birthday day! Breathing in the clean air, picking and possibly a little singing too!
With the big, blueberries just dying to be picked, the flying…More »
6. Save On Foods
It's like a trip down memory lane, except brighter and bigger than I remember it.
In need of some quick bites to bring to a party I navigated my way into the always hellish parking lot at Pinetree Village and steered into a cramped stall.
Breezing…More »
7. Super Valu
In the past 3 days, I've been to Super Valu 3 times. Why? Because I'm forgetful when it comes to baking supplies. Please note, the only time I go to Super Valu is when I'm in a jam. It's as budget as it comes inside. Fluorescent, smelling of stale…More »

8. UBC Farm Market
I must remember to wake up earlier! The eggs were sold out at 9:18 this morning!
My first time at the market this year and my-oh-my how happy the market makes me! It's early in the season so there is not as much selection, but I still managed to fill…More »

This is THE only reason I wake up earlier than 10 am on a Saturday morning in the summer. The… Read more »
9. Yoka's Coffee - CLOSED
Oh - Yoka- I could not start my day without you and your delivery of my first dose of daily caffeine!
What I can't believe I have never tried until yesterday is the chocolate. It sits there - taunting me every time I go in, and yet I've resisted for…More »
10. Young Brothers Produce
Vancouver, BC V6K 2H2
(604) 732-7088
Category:
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
You know, I used to think this was the best place ever. Tightly cramped fruits and veggies, hustle and bustle of people, cheap produce, almost everything imaginable...and it's still great but lately I've noticed that our produce doesn't last as long…More »
