As much as I love food, all of these places serve beverages that make me very, very happy.

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant

5.0 star rating
  11/26/2010 ROTD 12/17/2010

Kafka's is one of my favourite cafes in Vancouver at the moment. They are very, very serious about their coffee here. I love it when business owners are clearly passionate about their product: not only does it make me happy to see passion in action,…More »

5.0 star rating
  11/23/2010 ROTD 5/20/2011

My favourite cappucino in Vancouver. I haven't tried the food, don't love the service, don't wish I lived in the space...but the coffee, the coffee! She has my heart! Tasty every time I've had it, and served with latte art to boot. Small, dark,…More »

 3. Stumptown Coffee Roasters

USA
(206) 329-0115

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill

5.0 star rating
  3/8/2011

Despite the atrocious things that caffeine does to my nervous system, I occasionally run the risk of setting my system haywire in order to indulge in one of my favourite things - a really good coffee. Stumptown was on the top of my list of places to…More »

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes

4.0 star rating
  4/16/2011

Now that I've officially become a 9-5er, I cherish my weekends like never before. Spring finally seems to have sprung in Vancouver, and this very welcome break from the endless rain meant that the great outdoors called my name. Unfortunately, my…More »

 5. Mink - A Chocolate Café

(604) 633-2451

Categories: Chocolatiers and Shops, Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  11/23/2010

Mink is the type of place I know I would have LOVED when I was like, 14, and thought I was really sophisticated and big city when I visited places like this and ordered hyper-sweetened coffee-flavoured milk in a to-go cup (I grew up in suburbs and…More »

 6. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters

3010 Main St
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 879-2326

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant

4.0 star rating
  11/27/2010

This is the JJ that I frequent most often, although my review can probably apply across the board. This location has a slight advantage because of the space (fireplace, w00t!), but also has a slight disadvantage because it's so busy. When I visit, I…More »

 7. Agro Café

550 Clark Dr
Vancouver, BC V5L 3H7
(604) 253-0299

Neighbourhoods: Strathcona, Grandview-Woodlands

4.0 star rating
  10/29/2010

This (slightly strange) location of the Agro is primarily a roaster, and it's really obvious when you go inside. It's almost always dead, with one employee that jumps up from their seat on the counter when you walk in, looking sort of bewildered that…More »

Victoria, BC V8T 4M2
(250) 384-5282

Category: Coffee & Tea

4.0 star rating
  10/30/2010

Small, cute coffee shop serving up some really excellent coffee. I dropped in feeling a bit haggard after my ferry ride over to the island, and the delicious cappuccino that I was served perked me right back up. The staff member that was working was…More »

Toronto, ON M5B 1H9
(416) 923-3469

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  10/29/2010

I'm a bit of a Food Network geek, so when I was looking for a coffee spot when I was back in Toronto, the Bulldog immediately came to mind. Fortunately, I happen to be geeky enough to know that sometimes you have to hide the fact that you're a…More »

 10. Finch's Tea & Coffee House

Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
(604) 899-4040

Categories: Coffee & Tea, Sandwiches

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  9/12/2010

Finch's was one of the first places my now constant eating companion and I ever ate together, and for that reason alone will always be dear to my heart. But all corniness aside, the brie and grape baguette is - to put it mildly - life changing. I've…More »

 11. The Diamond

6 Powell St
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7

Categories: Canadian (New), Lounges

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

4.0 star rating
  10/30/2010

Currently holds the position of my favourite bar in Vancouver. The bartenders here are top notch...all of the drinks I've had here have been expertly mixed. My beverage of choice (gin martini with a twist) is so often butchered at lesser…More »

4.0 star rating

I had vowed to wait to write a review for Pourhouse, having not tried any of the food here yet, but I can't stop thinking about the cocktails.

My cocktail consuming counterpart and I dropped in on a Sunday, hoping to catch the live jazz. The musicians…More »

Category: Pizza

4.0 star rating
  10/30/2010

I try to hit Pizzeria Prima Strada every time I'm in Victoria, because it's definitely  crave-worthy. So busy, but the pizza is worth the wait. Very lively and bustling ambiance with a mixed crowd. I really enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the…More »

4.0 star rating

I haven't been back to Grub in a long time now, but I've been a few times in the past and really enjoyed my experiences here.

I love that the menu is constantly changing, and that there is something for everyone's tastes (meat, fish, vegetarian,…More »

(604) 488-0110

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown

4.0 star rating
  11/25/2010

Six Acres is done up sort of in the way I wish my home would look (extensive supply of booze and all), but, given budgetary constraints, I have to settle for being a visitor to such spaces and not the host. Fortunately, my visits to Six Acres have…More »
