1. Enhance Dental Centre
Vancouver, BC V6K 2E4
(604) 733-1022
Category:
General Dentistry
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
After not having seen a dentist for almost two years, I went to the Enhance Dental Centre on Broadway. My dentist had gentle hands and didn't nag me, even though I had three small cavities and clearly hadn't had my teeth cleaned professionally in a…More »
2. Pomp & Proper
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G2
(604) 876-6670
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Went for a haircut today and realized that I had forgot to mention that they give amazing scalp massages.
Now I'm all done up for the night with nowhere to go. Sigh!

Alicia Rollins at Pomp & Proper has been cutting my hair since last year. A friend recommended her,… Read more »
3. Tai Pan Tailor Company
Vancouver, BC V6J 1W6
(604) 732-1898
Category:
Sewing & Alterations
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I got a pair of jeans and a dress taken in, and the straps shortened on another dress. These guys were quick and their work was great -- one of the dresses had a billion layers and a lining and they managed to take it in and keep it looking great.…More »
4. House of Knives
Vancouver, BC V6H
(604) 737-3663
Category:
Kitchen & Bath
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
After months of my friends complaining when cooking at my place, I finally got a proper chef's knife. At House of Knives I learned way more than I thought I would ever need to know about knives, and walked away with a great knife, a sharpening tool,…More »
5. The Letter Carrier
Definitely not closed. I had some boots shipped to the Letter Carrier in Point Roberts to save on Canadian shipping, and received an email two days later saying it had arrived. When I went down on Saturday to pick it up, they had no trouble finding…More »
6. Hi-Lite Laundromat Dry Cleaning
Vancouver, BC V6H 1G7
(604) 736-4525
Category:
Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Great service! My winter coat and fall jacket look good as new, and my comforter is clean and fluffy. Prices are totally reasonable. Service is incredibly prompt! Only four stars instead of 5 because they seemed distracted when I called them prior to…More »
7. Point To Point Parcel
Definitely not closed, as my boyfriend and I were there yesterday to pick up a package he shipped to Point Roberts to save on shipping costs.
This place is even closer to the border than the Letter Carrier, but the prices are slightly higher for small…More »
8. Sketchley's One Hour Cleaners
Vancouver, BC V6H 1M6
(604) 734-3433
Categories:
Carpet Cleaning,
Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Prompt service, friendly staff, convenient location, and my dress looked great.
9. The Home Depot Canada
Vancouver, BC V6A 4G4
(604) 608-1423
Categories:
Nurseries & Gardening,
Building Supplies
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
My boyfriend and I came in to get some wood to fix my broken IKEA bed frame. We found the wood, but it took forever to find someone to help us. The first guy my boyfriend found actually worked in the paint section, but he pointed us to a spot in the…More »
10. Dollar Grocers
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B5
(604) 255-9933
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I am very glad that my boyfriend has moved east. Sure, he's further from my apartment now, but he lives in such a great neighbourhood! With cheap grocery stores!
We went to Dollar Grocers on Saturday to pick up some stuff for dinner. I was amazed by…More »
11. Greens Organic + Natural Market
Vancouver, BC V6J 1Z2
(604) 568-3079
Categories:
Grocery,
Local Flavour
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I was pretty sad when the IGA at Maple and Broadway disappeared, but overall Greens is a pretty good replacement. Their produce section has lots of nice organic veggies, they have a wide variety of frozen gluten free and vegan products, and their…More »
12. Mount Pleasant Optometry Centre
Vancouver, BC V5T 1V9
(604) 874-7302
Categories:
Optometrists,
Eyewear & Opticians
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I saw Dr. Ivy Koh last night for an eye exam -- I'd been getting some headaches and eye strain from too much computer use and just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else happening in there. Dr. Koh was fantastic -- super professional,…More »
13. Corber Ronald
Vancouver, BC V6K 4L9
(604) 731-3377
Category:
General Dentistry
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I have horrible teeth, and ended up needing an apicoectomy (don't google image search that, kids). Dr. Corber did a fine job with my oral surgery, and the receptionist is super lovely, but I'm taking away several stars because they charge about $800…More »
14. NCIX
Vancouver, BC V6J 1Y2
(604) 739-9985
Category:
Computers
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
This place is a well oiled machine. I usually do internet orders and then pick them up in the store -- they have a huge selection of inventory, but their website is easy to browse and search. If they have your item in stock, you can do same day pick…More »
15. YMCA of Greater Vancouver
Vancouver, BC V5Y 2Z5
(604) 324-9622
Categories:
Amateur Sports Teams,
Fitness & Instruction
Neighbourhood: Oakridge
I am so glad I joined this Y! It helps that it's right beside my new workplace, but I love the Y for a number of reasons.
1) The classes
After work on weekdays I can do spinning, kickboxing, step, yoga, and BOSU conditioning drop-in classes, with no…More »
16. Laptop911
Vancouver, BC V5R 5M1
(604) 568-6122
Category:
IT Services & Computer Repair
Neighbourhoods: Killarney, Renfrew-Collingwood
These guys are great. After calling every laptop repair place to get quotes to fix my netbook's power jack, Laptop911 got my business and took great care of my baby. Everyone else was quoting me $100-200 to fix it (and a few guys rudely said they…More »
17. Robert Lee YMCA
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1Y2
(604) 689-9622
Categories:
Leisure Centres,
Gyms,
Swimming Pools
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Gorgeous facility. Way nicer than the other YMCAs in town. I'm a regular at the Langara Y, but tried out this one on my day off last Friday with a friend. We went to a spin class, and I like their token system for drop in classes. If you get a token…More »
18. Soma Studio
Vancouver, BC V6J 1R1
(604) 738-1502
Category:
Massage
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I had a lovely massage this morning from Kaely at Soma Studio. Great hours -- 8am to 7pm means that those of us who don't want to miss work can go in before or after regular business hours. The studio is in a really cool building on 6th between Fir…More »
19. Both Feet On Main Street Shoe Repair
I just got a pair of boots resoled at Both Feet, and they look as good as new. Actually, they were pretty cheap boots and they look better than they did when I bought them. How's that for a cobbler?
These guys can diagnose your shoe trouble within a…More »
20. Bike Kitchen at UBC
Greater Vancouver A, BC V6T
(604) 827-7333
Category:
Bike Rentals
Neighbourhood: UBC
The Bike Kitchen is like Our Community Bikes, only way better. They provide tools and instruction for you to fix your own bike if you'd like to learn, and it's never too busy that you have to wait for instruction or a stand. If you'd rather just drop…More »
21. Dizzy Cycles
I saw a bike online that I wanted to get, but you can't order Specialized bikes through their website. I called around to several Vancouver Specialized retailers and only Dizzy was willing to order the bike for me. I popped in later that week to…More »
