The Fish was good. Chips, no. I forgot that I don't like White Spot/Triple O's fries. The coleslaw was ok with a little more salt.
Zoo sticks remain my favourite on the White Spot menu.
I haven't tried out the Drive In eat-in-your-car thing. The inside…More »
I had a big shopping trip after work, and was so tired by the time Richmond Centre was closing. That meant the food court was closing, as well, so White Spot was the first convenient place I could rest :-)
I tried the new meatball spaghetti, and it…More »
They accommodated our party of ten by the window.
The people who brought us here said "it's not the best, but it's convenient". Thanks...
But I have to agree.

I had Hot Matcha Latte for the first time today.
It came with a latte art of a Bear!!
I think this was my first experience being served latte art, and it made my day!
The matcha latte itself was yummy, as well! I find the Starbucks ones not rich enough…More »

It's been a few months since the grand opening, and things seem less harried. Still no seating, but they do have tea available to drink (no edibles).
I was impressed that the lady who helped me knew which ones were Green Rooibos!! At first glance,…More »

Passed my Matcha Banana Smoothie test with flying colours!
By now, I've noticed that this is not a standard menu item (there was a mini-poster of it at Blenz Oakridge, but only one other Blenz had been able to make it the same way I liked it). The…More »
Soup!! may not be the first thing you think of to get at a cafe, but Wick's soups are awesome, and that's what I keep coming back for. I want to try their fancy-sounding sandwich wraps one day, but I haven't had a chance, since they always have…More »

Updates on what I've tried recently:
++++++++++ Cheesecake with Grapefruit Jelly: It was a really light moussy cheesecake with a layer of sponge. The pink grapefruit set in jelly was pretty and delicious!

They got a specialized dessert chef! That was the final kick that makes this 5 stars.

Can I give them more stars??
First, I met the Pumpkin Soup of my dreams. I just happened to ask what the soup of the day was. It was more tasteful than I've ever imagined, but not too sweet and not too salty overpowering the taste of the pumpkin.

There aren't many choices in Marpole if you're out after 9pm. The only ones I can think of that aren't bars are the 24-hour Denny's and Subway.

It has lots of windows, but feels dark because the building it's in is much wider than the cafe itself. I decided to give it a try, anyway, but wasn't impressed with the food, either.
I ordered a Tuna Melt Panini. Sure, it tasted fine, and was grilled…More »
Found my favorite place for tea!!
Well, my other favorite place requires a special occasion or a sponsor... (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) though they do sell loose tea as well. Davids is more my groove.
DavidsTea has a few tables, too, but I don't think…More »
I go to A&W for Whistle Dogs or Sirloin Twins baby burgers. Since the baby burgers were a limited time menu, and This Location Does Not Have Whistle Dogs, I doubt I will be back.
This is one of the many A&Ws springing up in Vancouver recently. They…More »

I always thought Vancouver was alternative-eating-friendly, but this store is huge. I've never heard of vegan cupcakes (though that's because I don't go seeking out those things). They also have a Raw Food section in their take-out food bar.

This location is OK. I don't have any special compliments or complaints. They keep remodeling the decor every few years, to make it more modern, I guess. It's like they're trying to be a fancy cafe.
They put a TV in before the 2010 Olympics.
The food…More »

Good use of narrow space. The front half is the seating area, and the display and barista area is along one wall in the back.
This is the first Bread Garden "Urban Cafe" I've come across, so I was surprised to see a Bread Garden offering beer. They…More »

This used to be my favourite Blenz because they had Cornish Pasties. I went for the first time in a long time, and they didn't have them anymore. They did have cupcakes instead. The cupcake was properly fluffy, and the icing was creamier than…More »
My day trips to Whistler usually consist of stopping by many parks on the Sea to Sky Highway, not spending lots of time in Whistler Village. This is one of the places we frequent as a pit-stop.

Since I've never been to this location before, I phoned ahead to ask about whether they had tables for a group of 10. The lady told me there are a few, but they could seat us in adjoining booths, if necessary. I was glad to hear that, since I know…More »
Thin crust, but it doesn't feel "authentic thin". Passes because of the price, though. Usually $1.56 per slice, but $1 on Tuesdays.
I thought I remembered that the Freshslice on Granville at Broadway (now gone) would warm up the slices (by putting it…More »
