1. Fritz European Fry House
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1B6
(604) 684-0811
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
There is nothing better than a trip to Fritz with a belly full of booze. And I credit the last ten years of minor (vs major) hangovers to Fritz's "small fritz with honey mustard and mango curry chutney" dips. Sitting side by side and then mixed…More »
2. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I don't go to UBC. But my boyfriend does and I beg, beg, beg him to bring me home cookies. I think the ones he brings me are called Marbelous and Brazilian Crunch. I haven't paid much attention. He might be telling me about green tax (when you pay…More »
3. The Candy Aisle
Sugar, sugar, sugar - down low and up high (literally, there are candy bar boxes glued to the ceiling!)
If you're looking for old school sweets, or from afar treats, you'll likely find them here... along with many of your dentist's nightmares [insert…More »
4. La Belle Patate
Vancouver, BC V6E 1N4
(604) 569-1215
Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
Here's hoping that the new owners got a good deal when they took over what was once Shanghai 1949. I never ate at it's predecessor, which sat always suspiciously empty and dark. A coat of yellow paint, some Quebec license plates, and voilà, we've got…More »
5. Butter Baked Goods
Vancouver, BC V6S 2G2
(604) 221-4333
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
Sniff-sniff
Sniff-sniff
Sniff-sniff...
Like a dog who can pick up the scent of a criminal or someone in distress, I have an eagle-eye nose ;p when it comes to tracking the smell of baked goods all the way across town.
Overcome with a spicy aroma, I was…More »
6. Romer's Burger Bar
May I do a little dance now that Pinky's is gone? Well hell yes, since I have just found what was missing in my search for the ultimate burger. Softly toasted brioche buns. Romer's has changed the landscape of burgers for me, there's no doubt about…More »
7. CocoaNymph
Vancouver, BC V6R 2G5
(604) 222-4477
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I blame November's Elite Party http://www.yelp.ca/biz... It's where I first tried CocoaNymph and fell for the dark chocolate and salted caramel bar. Fast forward a couple of months and...
There I am, trying to push the thoughts of a crunch and tang of…More »
8. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 633-2451
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
For a choco-holic, this is my paradise. Great vibe as soon as you walk in and smell the warm ganache. They give you a choice between milk or dark chocolate for your mocha and use the ganache to prepare it - no syrup here. The clover coffee machine…More »
9. Cupcakes On Denman
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M9
(604) 974-1300
A place that hand delivers a gift box consisting of mini cupcakes on your birthday deserves a fourth star.
It's been about a year since my last Cupcakes review. Since that time, I've tested out the other cupcakeries in town, I've eaten a lot of cake,…More »

I have sat on the fence about cupcakes, not my love for them, but how I feel about "Cupcakes." I… Read more »
10. Goldies Pizza & Beer Lounge
The 'za window looked awesome, and perfecto for an" oh-oh my parking has expired" or "it's 3 o'clock and they're gonna tow my ride" kinda fix, but I had a hankering for a pint and lots of time to kill. Plus, I'm pretty certain they wouldn't let me…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
What everyone else said.
I went...
I miso-ed...
I teriy-ed!
---That was an hour ago and I already crave more.
12. Great Glass Elevator Candy Shop
One of my secret little obsessions. For some reason I can't help but stop in for some candy. I know that there's similar fare at places in Vancouver, I know it's ridiculously overpriced, but there's just something my sweet tooth can't resist here.…More »
