Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

4.0 star rating
  8/24/2010

Nestled quietly on Cornwall Street is a newish little hole in the wall. Unless you are alert or actively seeking it out you will miss it as it is a narrow little, unobtrusive space.

One of my new favourite places in Kits with absolutely zero pretence…More »

Though the days of being able to eat 12 donuts in a weekend and not burst open my pants, I still enjoy a little bit of Lee's every once in a while. When people try and tell me about Timbits etc, I tell them to go to Lee's and experience a real donut.…More »
