Any place that does a "pay what you can" style dish is awesome by my books.  Although, I didn't order their pay-what-you-can lentil soup, I was really impressed that they would do this.  I ordered their soup of the moment which was a corn and…More »

Yes, this place has a lot of little children running around and their mothers, but I don't mind.  They're kinda cute. And they don't scream, so it's all good. This is a super nice cafe and they have free wifi!!

The bonus? They have maple spice syrup…More »

I've been coming to Paddlewheeler for a couple of years now.  The patio is great in the summer because it's breezy enough that you may feel a little chilly. But they've got beer to warm you up!

The food is okay--just your average pub fare.  And it's…More »

Cute pub, with a fireplace to boot!  It's kind of a secret place because when you first look at it from the outside, you just see the coffee shop and the wine shop.  But you go downstairs and there is an awesome little bar with a back patio and a…More »

Neighbourhood: UBC

3.0 star rating
  9/2/2010

Yes, this bus is a fast route through broadway to UBC from the skytrain. But why do I always try to avoid it when I can? Maybe it's because every time I go on I always run into the most annoying people or sketchy.  People who yell when they talk…More »

If the 99 B-Line gets love from Yelp, so should the #84.  This bus can get you from VCC Clark Station to UBC in 30 minutes!  It can't be beat! Plus, it stops at all the key places you could ever want to go along the way like Main St. @ Science World,…More »

Going South... of Vancouver (29)

A Coconut's Guide to Indian Food in the GVRD (23)

Now, I'm no Indian Food expert, but I often get asked about the best Indian food places.  Maybe because I am Indian?? These are some of the ones I've been to in the GVRD. And no, Vij's doesn't count!

Yelpage (36)

Yelp is more than writing reviews! It's all about the UYEs, CMYEs, and of course, the Elite Events!  Here is a list of the great Yelp events put on by the best Yelpers in town.
