Still in love with this place.

I'm sure I've said everything that needs to be said, but just in case I haven't...

My best friend and I drove to Vancouver from Calgary for Thanksgiving. I brought her here a few times and got her hooked. So on our last…More »

This store is pretty much what I think all used bookstores should be like. It's packed to the brim with shelves, all overflowing with books. There's lots of room to browse and poke around.

Also, they offer a 20% discount if you buy six books or more -…More »

I LOVE this place. It's always, without fail, the first place I go when I'm in Vancouver.

Everything here is delicious. I always get the schmear, but I'm sure the sandwiches are probably good too. Knishes, rugoleh, and babka buns are all amazing.

My mom and I walked by this store, and sort of glanced over...then stopped to stare...then stopped to go in. It's a tiny store and doesn't have too much in it, but everything there is adorable! I wouldn't trust someone who couldn't find something…More »

The Grind is cute, and really, at 3am - how many options do you have? (Okay, there's Waves, but...no.)

My biggest pet peeve is they're constantly out of things they have on the menu. I mean, there's always coffee and tea and stuff, but some of the…More »

Ogenki sushi offers lots of different varieties of sushi, and all at super cheap prices. The sushi is good, definitely worth the price - it always tastes fresh and is delicious. They usually have a special of three rolls (I think California, kappa…More »

The Main is a solid place to go for a tasty, modestly priced meal.

The appetizers here are fine - not particularly special, but good. I'm always happy with pita and dips, and they do a fine tzatziki.

The chicken souvlaki here is my favourite, it's…More »

I have to update my review - firstly the food is still so delicious. SO DELICIOUS. And as it's currently -25 in Calgary, I could sure go for some soup. Mmm.

Anyways, the past couple times I've been here, the service has been much better. Friendly,…More »
