Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
They have BOILED EGGS and SOLDIERS! Yes, yes, I know I'm screaming. I hadn't had these since I was a little one. It deserves a shout!
For anyone that doesn't know the term - it's a soft boiled egg with buttered toast cut into long strips for dipping…More »

Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
A cute lil space, with a hand written sandwich board outlining the small (but growing) sandwich and salad selections. That along with a good selection (at pretty reasonably priced) of reds and whites made me feel welcome right away at Sweeney's. It…More »
3. Nebur King Coffee
Free wi-fi?
Plus
3.99 turkey and cheese sandwiches? On a doughy, soft ciabatta bun? With pickled carrots and red peppers?
Plus
An awesome americano?
Is this a help-me-I'm-hungry oasis or what?
Perhaps it was the combination of these things, mixed with a…More »
4. Tartine Bread & Pies
I love me some tarts, tarts, tarts. I need those tarts, tarts, tarts. Give me those tarts, tarts, tarts.
Tartine bread has become a staple in my kitchen (not sliced, thanks!), and every week or so, I skip out to "grocery shop" and give myself a wee…More »

Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
What's it about getting a banh mi for under $3?
It's biting into something that costs less than a latte and discovering it will keep you revved up through the rest of the afternoon.
It's the serving a veggies
The crunch and softness of the bread

Neighbourhood: Downtown
After reading Bill T's FTR, I all of a sudden had a craving for a bahn mi! My review in rewind:
I savored the last bite.
I loved the sauce, the crunchy veggies, lots of cilantro and tasty chicken.
Willing to chance it I gobbled down the entire…More »
7. Benny's Bagels
Lunch time craving + an event to plan = Benny's Bagels. It isn't that these are the best bagels in town (I heart Solly's) or that its the most conducive to finding a plug in for the laptop, it is because when you are hanging out upstairs at Benny's,…More »

Late-ish evening, just post a very talkative event, a friend and I took a load off of our sore--stuffed into high heels--tootsies, on their Water St. patio.
Mmmmm fig and curry mussels! Mmmmm frites! Mmmm spicy tomato calamari. And surprisingly -…More »

I will only go to Deacon's Corner when James is working! He made a sandwich suggestion that's not on the menu and is so delish! Ready for it?
A BLT with fried egg, cheese and avocado... oh my, oh my! I ate all of it without any hesitation!

10. Farm Cottage Bakery
Rainy Saturday and I'm in New West wondering what the heck I'm gonna eat for lunch. But no need to fear, Christine R pointed me and my tummy in the right direction.
The new location on E Columbia has great street parking and a modern but traditional…More »
11. Solly's Bagelry
It's not just Wednesday's bagel deal ($7.50 for a dozen) that lures me in, it's the chicken and matzah ball (singular) soup. When I am feeling under the weather a bowl of soup and a bagel perks me right up. But, hmmmph, show up at lunch time and…More »

Categories:

Sandwiches,
Hot Dogs
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
For the $6.95 special (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato) I expect a little more than a sandwich that I can hold and eat with one hand. With all of the fixings laid out in front of me...I thought they'd at least garnish with a yummy looking pickle that…More »

Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, Fairview Slopes
Nom, nom, nom, nom! So many sugary, buttery, rich pastries...what should I chose? That almond butter and chocolate croissant looks like it has a day's worth of carbs--let's have one of those! Okay, so there's no denying it, it was incredible...but…More »

Organic coffee is served piping hot.
A couple feeds each other a bliss ball at the till.
At the sugar nook, a debate regarding the merits of brown sugar vs raw sugar ensues... raw sugar wins.
The bopping kitchen pumps out eggs on toast and sammies.

I'm a raving fan! I remember how star struck I was when a movie called Saving Silverman was filmed at their old Cambie location. I liked their Cambie location but love their Kits one better. Parking is easier (especially with all of the Cambie…More »

A "How Are Ya," a wink, a smile and a quick like lightening yummy brie and ham sandwich prepared while I marveled at avocado oil chips and kettle popcorn.

Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
A standoff between me, holding my $6.50 and Pane Vero's turkey + swiss panini which sat smugly, the last one left in the display case. Would it really be worth my dough (pardon the pun).
I took it out (well, they did) and toasted it (they did that…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 1E5
(604) 682-4037
Fresh orange juice and the green bean and asparagus salad makes me feel zippy, full of pep, and well, just about as fresh as fresh can be.
Brioche is a fantastic place for a lunch meeting or a bite to go. The choices are plentiful but we kept it…More »

A fan still? Yes. You can set up shop upstairs for hours. It's quiet, the wi-fi is reliable and the other peeps are pecking away at their keys while consuming copious amounts of caffeine. Feeling right at home (plus you can order a glass of wine…More »

A London Fog on a blustery afternoon makes me smile. Especially while making great use of their ample tables, free wi-fi and spacious, brightly day lit cafe.

Oh panini. I do declare, the best tomato bocconcini and basil sandwich I have had the pleasure of consuming. Perhaps my famished frame contributed to its deliciousness, but all the qualities were present: soft but crunchy focaccia, fresh tomatoes and…More »
