1. The Locus
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 708-4121
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I would come here just for their bread and butter alone. They have this amazing homemade cinnamon butter that is just to die for. I stuff my face with the bread before my meal even comes.
I've been here tons of times, and my meal is always excellent.…More »
2. Budgies Burritos
Vancouver, BC V5T 3H9

Categories:
Vegetarian,

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Oh, Budgies. You make the best burritos in this city. I don't care that you're only vegetarian, your burritos are so good all my carnivorous friends love you. The Jame Dog is so good.
Since I'm trying to avoid wheat, I've been trying your tacos (on…More »
3. The Wallflower Modern Diner

Gluten-Free,

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I was here last night for post-softball burgers with a fellow gluten-free friend. We wanted burgers that we could eat, and I love that the Wallflower could provide. The gluten-free bun was delicious, although it does tend to fall apart more than…More »

I still appreciate the effort, Wallflower. I love that I know I can get a great breakfast with bread… Read more »
4. Burgoo Bistro
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 873-1441
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
There is a dearth of fondue in this city, but Burgoo makes up for all of it.
5. The Regional Assembly of Text
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P2
(604) 877-2247
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
This is my favourite store in all of Vancouver. I think this is the first place I visited after moving here, after hearing my ex who was from Vancouver raving about how much I'd love this place. It's true! I do!
As a budding librarian, I find the…More »
6. Re-Entry Espresso - CLOSED
I used to live around the corner, and would stop by frequently for their delicious pastries. Some of the best croissants I've had in this city! Their coffee and lattes are excellent too. The only trouble is it's quite small -- more the sort of place…More »
7. Front & Company
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 879-8431
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I always walk out of here with something cute, even when I just come in to browse. I can't help it, their window displays are gorgeous and creative. It's a sickness, I tell you -- I'm drawn to beautiful things.
Front and Company has a…More »

Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Went for a haircut today and realized that I had forgot to mention that they give amazing scalp massages.
Now I'm all done up for the night with nowhere to go. Sigh!

Great little art venue just off Main. Rad concerts and cool plays and there's just always awesome shit happening here. Check it out!
10. Biltmore Cabaret
Vancouver, BC V5T 3J7
(604) 676-0541
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I went here last night for what ended up being a terrible show (that's okay, it was free!) and was saved from boredom and terrible music by the Tetris machine in the back corner. You can play for a quarter! (I totally kicked my friend's ass, by the…More »

11. Salt Spring Coffee Company
Salt Spring Coffee was my lifesaver when I had 8am classes at UBC. I'd roll out of bed, stumble around the corner to their shop, and within minutes be clutching a steaming travel mug of ambrosia -- ahem, I mean coffee -- and a breakfast bagel with…More »
12. Hawkers Delight Deli
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6

Categories:
Malaysian,

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I can stuff my face with delicious mee goreng for less than $5. Yes please.
13. Lucky's Comics
While it says Lucky's Comics on the sign, this is not really a comic shop. It's a great tiny shop filled with art books and alternative comics, but if you're coming to find anything else you're probably out of luck. They just don't have room to have…More »
14. Rx Comics
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E2
(604) 454-5099
Categories:
Bookstores,
Comic Books
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
My local comic shop when I lived on Main. I would walk all the way up from King Ed to visit this place, because I knew they'd always have what I wanted (and probably a few other things too). It's not the prettiest place, but when are comic shops ever…More »
15. Alibi Room
Finally tried some food here apart from the fries. Their beet salad is great, but their cheese plate is pretty small and filled with unexciting cheeses. Not worth it. My friend got a lamb dish that looked and smelled amazing. I'm looking forward to…More »

16. Three Bags Full
I've been back a few more times as it is now my closest yarn store, and the staff have been super helpful and friendly in terms of picking out yarns that will work with my patterns. Bonus, they have a computer set up so you can check out your pattern…More »

17. Hime Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5T 1W5
(604) 708-1616
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
This place is great. We went last night as it was getting late, we were tired from work and too lazy to make dinner, and as soon as my boyfriend mentioned sushi I could think of nothing else.
We were originally thinking of going to Sushiyama down the…More »
18. Narrow Lounge
Perfect spot for last night's girls' night. A little bit out of the way but feels like someone's awesome basement rec room/speakeasy.
One of my friends was already there when the other two of us arrived, thankfully, as it was fairly busy for a Tuesday…More »
19. Army Navy & Airforce Veterans Unit 298 Canteen
Vancouver, BC V5V
(604) 879-1020
Categories:
Bars,
Social Clubs
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Sure, they have cheap drinks ($3.75 for a single well drink). And yes, karaoke on Saturdays. And darts, and pool, and shuffleboard. And they don't mind if you bring your own food in as they have no menu. But really, the best part about this place is…More »
20. Mount Pleasant Optometry Centre
Vancouver, BC V5T 1V9

Optometrists,
Eyewear & Opticians
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I saw Dr. Ivy Koh last night for an eye exam -- I'd been getting some headaches and eye strain from too much computer use and just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else happening in there. Dr. Koh was fantastic -- super professional,…More »
21. East West Market
I used to live five minutes away from East West Market. I was spoiled. It's got the prices of a little neighbourhood produce stand, but it's big enough that it has all the other things you need -- pantry staples, awesome frozen vegan burritos,…More »

Visited the new location for brunch this weekend. I was super excited, as Slickety's was one of my top breakfast spots before it burned down. This time I couldn't remember why I loved it so much. I used to adore the variations on the eggs benedict…More »
23. Roots Cafe
I've been back several time and the service has greatly improved. No one forgets my order this time, and everyone is super friendly! Today they had a great gluten-free chocolate tart that I couldn't resist, and I'm glad I didn't! So good!

24. Both Feet On Main Street Shoe Repair
I just got a pair of boots resoled at Both Feet, and they look as good as new. Actually, they were pretty cheap boots and they look better than they did when I bought them. How's that for a cobbler?
These guys can diagnose your shoe trouble within a…More »

Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Eh. That's how I feel about Splitz. Sometimes I cheat on my gluten-free diet for a really good burger, but Splitz does not have those. Sure, they have a ton of toppings ranging from normal (lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup) to the wacky (hummus,…More »

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I love these cheese buns. Gluten-free, yet I still have to fight my gluten-eating boyfriend for the last one. Love the variety in flavours -- I've had the extra cheese, jalapeno, garlic, and olive buns, and there's still so many to try! Get them…More »

I came here with 5 other people and a baby, and was really impressed with the service. They accommodated our large group and small child incredibly well.
