1. Flirt Cupcakes
I became the hero of my New Year's Eve party when I showed up with mini cupcakes from Flirt! Baked fresh that morning, I picked up a combo pack with a dozen minis, with flavours like red velvet and double chocolate. (It's just too bad I didn't stop…More »
2. La Piazza Dasee
Edmonton, AB T5N 1N8
(866) 923-7721
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Florists,
Home Decor
This is my new all-time favourite coffee shop ever. For any purpose. In fact, scratch that first sentence. This is my new all-time favourite place ever. Period.
As Stefon would say, this place has everything. Fresh flowers, home decor, hot coffee,…More »
3. A Modern Proposal
Julianne Cragg, owner of A Modern Proposal and wedding-planner extraordinaire, is as good as they come! This gal is full of energy and wedding tips and tricks. She is patient with first-time-wedding clients, knowledgeable about the local wedding…More »
4. Apple Store
I cradled it, held it and put it to bed each night, all without a protective case and everything seemed fine. But my luck had to run out at some point. Down the iPhone went and crashed onto the hard floors of Mongoli Express, shattering its back.…More »
5. Second Cup
I'm always afraid to give a big chain such an overwhelming super-positive review, but this Second Cup really takes the (coffee) cake.
It's got a bright, big, sunshine-streaming window right in front with a bar in place where you can sit, sip on your…More »
6. The Grove Cafe Yerba Buena
San Francisco, CA 94105
USA
(415) 957-0558
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Any restaurant that can make a basic mixed greens salad (like, no veggies except for the greens) taste pretty good earns four stars from me. The mild salad went really well with my tasty turkey sandwich with - drumroll, please...avocado! Yes! (Five…More »
7. Bliss Spa
San Francisco, CA 94103
USA
(877) 862-5477
Happy birthday to me! And thanks for the cash, Mom and Dad - I'm took it straight to the Bliss Spa at the W Hotel.
I'm kind of a last-minute kind of gal (it was a busy trip!) so I didn't book my appointment until the day before, but the staff were…More »
8. The Cheesecake Factory
San Francisco, CA 94102
USA
(415) 391-4444
Categories:
American (New),
Desserts,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Union Square
My last day in SF before flying home to snowy Edmonton = my last chance to eat outdoors in the sort-of sunshine to celebrate my birthday!
I just snuck in and out of the actual restaurant, ordering a Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. Try…More »
9. SFMOMA
I don't even know where to start with this one! Amazing exhibits - wine, voyeurism, a century of local art. I wish I hadn't been on a timeline for this visit or I could have spent the day in here looking at all of the works. What can I say without…More »
10. Torso Vintages
San Francisco, CA 94108
USA
(415) 391-3166
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Union Square
Torso, the immensity of your fabulousness was a bit overwhelming at first. In fact, it downright scares me that none of your collection is below $100 (and from what I saw, nothing is really below $200, and the things that I really, really wanted were…More »
11. The Manor Casual Bistro
You might mistake Manor for just another residential home, since it used to be one, but a very classy one. Walk into a cozy entrance hall and then into a reconverted dining room, powder room, or living room area for your meal.
Any restaurant that…More »
12. William Hawrelak Park
This is by far my favourite park in Edmonton. It's got everything you could ask for in a park, especially in this city.
Summer: paddle boats, nice trails, plus Shakespeare in the Park! Killer geese aside, this a great place for a date, a family day…More »
13. UPS
When I got the call from UPS, I thought I was going to be in trouble. I had gotten the delivery slip - OK, I had gotten both, erm, all three of the delivery slips. Aaaaand I never went to go pick up the package. So, needless to say, when they finally…More »
14. Luzzara Coffee Bar - CLOSED
This might just be my new favourite coffee shop! If it isn't the rich hot chocolate or flavourful teas, it's the fun conversation with Luzzara owner Sarah.
The space is so cool. Super-cute black and white wallpapering (and curtains to match!) and cute…More »
15. The Original
Portland, OR 97204
USA
(503) 546-2666
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
After discovering that the southern-style bento place we had wanted to check out was take-out only, my fellow tourists and I saw a bright, sparkly "The Original" across the street. We weren't sold, but we were starving, so we checked it out.
…More »
16. Boudin
San Francisco, CA 94118
USA
(415) 221-1210
Stumbled onto this unique diner by accident, searching for another cafe nearby. Frustrated and hungry, my dining mates and I "settled" for Boudin, but we were in for a surprise.
My sandwich was built of smooth guacamole, moist turkey breast, and…More »
17. Bulk Barn
I really like Bulk Barn. I mean, really, really, *really* like Bulk Barn!
After discovering this Canadian gem through the Yelp talk boards, I stopped over to check it out for myself. I intended to run in for a minute, only to say I'd been there, and I…More »
18. Unheardof Restaurant
Blink and you WILL miss this hidden restaurant on the east end of Whyte Avenue. (I suppose you could almost call them Unseen Restaurant, too!)
I had an amazing private fine-dining experience. Set up in our own room, our group of ten (ten!) was easily…More »
19. The Bridal House - CLOSED
A great resource for brides-to-be, whether you are in dire need of a dress ASAP, or planning ahead for next year's wedding.
For those who are pressed for time, The Bridal House has a decent selection of dresses available for purchase off the rack. For…More »
20. Good Earth Coffeehouse & Bakery
Possibly my favourite coffee shop in the city. Big selection of baked goods - scones, muffins, cookies - that aren't necessarily good for you, but good to eat! Take your coffee and treat to the table of your choice, too. It's usually busy, but it's…More »
21. Original Joe's
Whether you are heading out for a casual dinner or late-night drinks, this location of Original Joe's consistently serves yummy food for a reasonable price, without music blasting right in your ear at full volume. I also love love LOVE that the…More »
22. IKEA
Edmonton, AB T6N 1M3
(780) 433-6000
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Kitchen & Bath,
Department Stores
I could spend a day in Ikea. Picture lounging in the morning in one of their bedroom set-ups, stopping into the fast food lounge for a hot dog at lunch, going back upstairs to hang out in a living room, and rounding off the day with a full chicken…More »
23. Cactus Club Cafe
If I could, I would give 10 stars to Cactus Club.
My first time at CC for dinner, and I was left with my jaw on the floor. Even without a reservation, the staff jumped on us to get our table of seven into the restaurant. Every staff member I…More »
24. Asian Connection Restaurant
I might be a touch biased since growing up this was my family's go-to "we're not cooking tonight" order-in dinner, every couple of weeks or so. I can't hate on family tradition, especially a family tradition this tasty.
I can't think of anything from…More »
25. The Mongolie Grill
I'm the duchess at this place for a reason! I absolutely love it. In fact, I'm stuffed full of Mongolie Grill stirfry as I type this review!
I'll agree it can take a couple of tries until you find the perfect sauce combo to adorn your carefully…More »
26. Anthropologie
I seem to be on a roll with those super positive reviews lately, but I just can't help it. I love love L-O-V-E Anthropologie!
Stupid expensive prices aside, this store is perfect. It's heaven to walk into. Visually, the store is chock-full of gorgeous…More »
27. Varscona Theatre
I've been lucky to catch a lot of great theatre here. Improv on Friday and Saturday evenings, plus other plays along the way.
Improv here is a must-see. I love taking friends from out of town to the Varscona to catch the great local performers here.…More »
28. Duchess Bake Shop
After years of tasting Duchess at various events 'round town, I finally dragged my sweet-loving feet over to the 124th street location for my favourite Office Hours yet.
The staff were so accomodating for our big group and even turned a blue…More »
29. Laser Quest
Am I biased because several of my greatest childhood birthday parties of all time took place here? Maybe a little.
I thought it might be a little bit busier, but it was just us and a couple of others. It was still very fun and a great Yelpy bonding…More »
30. Sunterra Marketplace
I've decided that excellent food is something worth spending my hard-earned money on, and Sunterra has everything that I'm looking for, even though it's not always cheap.
Although this little grocery isn't as large as the nearest Safeway or Save-On,…More »
31. The Beauty Parlour
After dear Dani, my beloved hair stylist of six years, left for Toronto to pursue bigger dreams, I was left without my most trusted beauty weapon. What was a girl to do?
I turned to Yelp, of course! I tried one salon (great colour, but she cut it…More »
32. The Sequel Cafe
I don't like going into a new cafe/restaurant/shop/whatever with high expectations because I'm usually disappointed. So not the case with The Sequel Cafe.
A small part of me wants to knock a star off for their lack of signage (it was definitely tricky…More »
33. Betsey Johnson
San Francisco, CA 94108
USA
(415) 398-2516
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Union Square
With only one day set aside for shopping on my most recent trip to San Francisco, I knew I was going to have to be efficient. None of the "wandering around Macy's for fours" nonsense of previous trips. No, certainly not.
First stop was the Union…More »
34. Galleria Park Hotel
San Francisco, CA 94104
USA
(415) 781-3060
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I had the most amazing stay at the Galleria Park Hotel. I was in SF for a week and a bit in June, doing a bit of hotel hopping along the way. GPH was my last stop for two nights before flying home.
When we checked in, the two young guys at the front…More »
35. High Level Bridge Streetcar
The High Level Bridge Streetcar isn't necessarily a hidden gem among the city - I think a lot of people know about it, but not a lot of people have taken it.
I can only say good - nay, great things about the HLBS. The trains themselves are super cool…More »
36. Studio J Urban Spa
I think I was about 12 years old the last time I got a manicure, but my fabulous bridesmaids decided that manicures would be the first stop on a whirlwind weekend of stagette and bridal shower madness.
Studio J, located right on Jasper Avenue, is in a…More »
37. Room at the Top
Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, but I can't give anything less than five stars to Room At The Top.
Before its renovation, it was a typical campus pub with a little somethin' something' extra - an amazing nearly-360-degrees view of the city. Now…More »
38. Sephora
I've already expressed my love for Sephora, but I just want to add a new story that demonstrates just how fab the big S is.
I bought a beautiful new Urban Decay lipstick, took it home, and for the life of me, could not open it. It was totally stuck.
I…More »

39. The Traveling Tickle Trunk
Without a doubt, The Traveling Tickle Trunk is the best adult shop in the whole city.
When you walk into most adult stores, what do you typically see? Dirty carpet, florescent lights, and rows upon rows of smutty DVDs. Right?
The Travelling Tickle…More »
40. Jeffrey's Cafe & Wine Bar
I am Jeffrey's newest and biggest fan. I love cafes. I love wine bars. Jeffrey's is both!
It's quieter during the day, with plenty of tables and a few couches perfect for getting work done or catching up with friends. They offer some light lunch items…More »
