1. Sunrise Garden Centre
So I was back here today! I just love, love, love this place. I am working on a vegetable/fruit/herb balcony garden and they had so many of the things that I wanted. There are a couple of things that they don't have for mint plants (i.e. chocolate…More »

5/10/2010 First to Review
I found this gem last year when I decided to try and turn my black thumb green. I went there again… Read more »
2. Waves Coffee House
This is my saturday or sunday morning coffee shop! I take little dog and go for walk to Waves. It has great coffee and nice seating outside. Wish it had a bit more seating inside for the rainy days, but don't we all!
3. GardenWorks
Can I just say that Gardenworks has taken my black thumb to green. This past fall I bought a little Fat Albert that I will be keeping on my balcony until Christmas, at which time I will have my own life Christmas tree with out the cost and dying…More »
4. Pacific Breeze Winery
I am a wine fanatic and wasn't this a great find in New Westminster. Who would have thought that great wine would come from a garage!!! It's within walking distance for me but for anyone driving it's just off Stewardson Way and 3rd ave (i think…More »
5. Cap's Bicycle Shop
I didn't buy my bike here but I have bought all my accessories at this location. They almost always have what I want for my bike and are very helpful. I plan on pickign up some more girlie cruiser bike accessories this year. Maybe they will even…More »
6. New Westminster Quay Boardwalk
I LOVE living just off the Boardwalk. It is so relaxing and refreshing to walk here with my dog. I start at one end and walk to the Doggie Park on the other and once Puck has had his fill of the Doggie Park, we walk home. The view of Fraser River…More »
7. SkyTrain
So if I have a Wine Store as my place of worship, then this is my second home lol. I have travelled to many cities and the Skytrain is comparable to the Subway in NYC or the Underground in London, although definintely not on as large a scale. The…More »
8. Eclipps Hair Cafe
Yesterday I was feeling shaggy! Really shaggy! Poofy too! So I decided I wanted a hair cut and knew that my go to place wasn't going to work for me today.
I went online and remembered that I hadn't tried out Eclipps before. In years past it had…More »
9. The New Riva Cafe
I need my coffee! I don't function without it! I was happy to see the Riva Cafe had re opened on the Boardwalk again this summer and decided during the heat wave to take my re usable iced coffee cup and my dog for the 3 minute walk to Riva Cafe. That…More »
10. General Paint Corporation
I am in the midst of home renos! OK not the whole reno but a whole lot of painting and replacing of lights, sockets and the like. It can be expensive, especially the paint, so boy was I happy when I found out that the co-op I live in gives $250…More »
11. Starbucks
If you know anything about me from my reviews, you know I am a coffee fanatic. So the other day when I was on my way to General Paint I stopped in at the Starbucks next door. I always have mixed experiences at Starbucks but this one was good!
When I…More »
12. Crescent Beach
If you like a little piece of calm, especially on a mild day, this is the place to go. A couple of weeks ago I took my dogs and husband here for a nice walk and sniffs for the dogs.
I haven't been to the few shops and restaurants as I usually have…More »
13. Ambleside Park
My husband is an avid Chrismasaholic! Me, I was a wee humbug this year because of construction going on in my house and not being able to decorated. Oh I digress.

15. Columbia Insurance Services
I have up and down relationships with Insurance Agencies. Not driving based as I don't have a license but in regard to rental and home insurance. I finally had to insure a vehicle and decided to check out this location because it's close to home. I…More »
16. Rona Home Centre
This location has been the bane of my existence. They either have really good service or really horrible service. I have given this location 4 stars because the last few times I have been there have been positive.
This store is small in comparison to…More »
17. B C Ferries Corporation
Ahhhhh BC Ferries, we all LOVE to hate them lol. Last long weekend I went to the Island for a family vacation and have to say that it wasn't a horrible experience.
The Nanaimo terminal was nice to walk around. They had a dog area which is great…More »
18. SPCA Thrift Store
Who doesn't like helping the animals of the SPCA and this is a way to do it and get any retail therapy needs out. I also like to donate items that are sellable here.
I have found some cute outfits, books, bags and the like here. There's also the…More »
19. Lighthouse Marine Park
This past weekend as I wanted to fill up on less expensive gas. It's not overly exciting but it is nice to sit on the drift wood and look at the ocean. It's peaceful and great for our dogs. I will definitely go back.
I see they are doing some…More »
20. Lulu Island Winery
This is a supplement to my review about the rental. It's been just over a month and I emailed to confirm the rental information and apparently they do not rent out the facility any more. That is what I have been told anyway. I do find it kind of…More »

Richmond, BC V7E 3A4
(604) 275-0262
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I can't go to Steveston and not visit Nikaido Gifts. It makes me want to open my own little shop like this in New West. They have a wide range of items but I am always going in for the variety of tea and tea accessories. They can be a bit pricey in…More »
22. Rocky Point Park
Went here the other week for my nephews first birthday! I was looking forward to it as it was my first time here and when I first saw it I was in awe at it's beauty and that's about where my love for it stopped.
Parking is a pain in the arse and…More »
23. Moody Beads
I must say my last experience in here was not so good but I am a fan of second chances and when my Maid of Honor suggested I make my bridal jewelry I decided to sign up for a class at Moody Beads. I think that was the best idea ever! I called a…More »

24. Bella Cakes and Pastries
I have only ever read about this place until just the other day. If you aren't aware I am planning my wedding and since I want to give local businesses all that I can I meandered over there this past week.
I am having cupcakes instead of cakes.…More »
25. Starbucks
I am a coffee addict and I was super excited to have another coffee house within a 5 minute walk from my house. Although I am not a huge fan of Starbucks coffee it is starting to grow on me.
This location is new and the service is impeccable which is…More »
26. Staples Business Depot
So the other week I was finally done putting together my wedding invitations but realized I didn't have enough labels for the envelopes. Of to the closest Staples I go.
I hadn't been in this location before but I was VERY happy with it. They have a…More »
27. Twilight Drive-In Theatre
Haven't been out to the drive-in a long while so late week the not so better half and I decided to head up there with the dogs to catch a couple of movies.
For $25 we were able to catch a couple of movies which normally would be the cost of one at a…More »
28. Red Brick
Stopped in here a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It's elegant, funky and just the right thing for the neighbourhood. The owner is very friendly and it's definitely a pet friendly business which is key for me.
My favourite thing there,…More »

Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2
(604) 484-6700
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I LOVE the Canada Line. Reminds me so much of the Underground in London! I wish the Skytrain was more like this as that's the way I live and have to go most days!
I guess I am fortunate not to have to take it during peak times as I have never had an…More »
32. BC Ferries
Since there is no other way over to the Island that's less expensive I will give BC Ferries a 4 star rating. If the powers that be would finally build a bridge I would be in heaven but I digress.
On my last venture to the island it cost 3 of us $70…More »
33. Paddlewheeler Neighbourhood Pub
Although the decor can leave a bit to be desired everything else about this place is great. The food, the bevies, the patio, the view, the staff & the sports on the tele!
34. GumDrops
I really enjoy this store. They even have rain coats for my dog, which is a plus. The only down side has been finding boots that I like in my size. They never seem to have them lol. I have been waiting since Christmas to spend my gift card. This…More »
