1. Discovery Coffee
Dearest Bean Lover,
Please hear my plea! My eyes are steamy, my step is perky. I'm in love!
Please bring Vancouver your beans and baristas. Please, please, please move for my love of you. I swear, I can make you happy! My love is as strong as the…More »
2. Red Fish Blue Fish
Should you go prepared for a wait? For sure. Is it worth it, absolutely!
Contents of my purse for such a line-waiting (gasp I waited in a line):
-Umbrella (just in case)
-Granola bar (just in case, blood sugar ya know!)
-Bottle of water
-iPhone (check…More »
3. Wannawafel
You're not imagining things. Follow the sweet scent, it's leading you in the right direction. Trust your intuition, or at the very least your olfactory senses because in a moment you'll be deciding between a liege and a Brussels waffle.
If I lived in…More »
4. Silk Road Tea
Who needs meditation when Silk Road exists? The moment I walked in, I knew I was in my retail heaven. And then they offered me tea... [Insert sigh of relaxation, here, here and here!]
Tea and an abundance of tea accessories. I would have never thought…More »
5. Decade
Le sigh. It's been a year since I last visited Decade. It's still pretty awesome selection wise, the coat I bought last fall is taking me through another autumn already, and still with lots of compliments.
Willing to blow some of my payday bucks, I…More »

Fashionably affordable? Every tag I flipped over, surprised me for it's reasonable pricing. Black… Read more »
6. Ferris' Oyster Bar
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Okay, I couldn't help myself... and Ferris' has nothing to do with said Bueller. Having not been to the main floor Ferris', I can't compare. However, I must admit, the exposed brick walls, loungy couches and long staircase…More »
7. Flavour
Dark woods with a squeak to 'em. Just the way I like stores that look like this to sound!
I tried. I really did. I looked over the American Apparel racks. I browsed through the guys stuff. I thumbed over a pretty cardigan. I wanted to buy... I had my…More »
8. Vintage Spirits
I believe my discovery of Driftwood Brewery is due in part to the well laid out and stocked coolers at Vintage Spirits. Their amber ale is fantastic!
I didn't expect to see Rogue, Lost Coast Brewery and other micros brews in a bottle shop adjacent to…More »
9. Zydeco Gifts
A wall of rubber ducks!!! [double take]. Nope, I'm right, that's right a wall of ducks! Rubber ducks of all shapes and sizes - from Obama, Jesus and Elvis to pirates, fairies and superheros.
Not only are there rubber ducks galore, there's every other…More »
10. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa
Hearts, butterflies... in my mind there are fireworks in the sky over Victoria when I opened the door to my suite. In my room there were welcome Rogers Chocolates, a bottle of water and an apple all waiting. The bed comfy, cozy. The shower AND tub,…More »
11. Suasion
Per-suasian? No coaxing necessary for me here, or my wallet. I had no troubles choosing a beautiful purse and running my fingers across many beautiful garments in the process!
The warm wood floors and tables gave me that old world feel that…More »
12. Hemingway Boutique
An eclectic lil mix of stuffed animals, Hunter boots, rad greeting cards, clothing, candles, accessories and more, with a country-kitchen-home-goodness feel to it. A space I'd visit for a sure-gift-hit, for woman or child! The name in itself inspires…More »
13. Pig BBQ Joint
Thank you Victoria yelpers for pointing me in this direction! Thinking that the "meal' version of the fried chicken would be over-the-top I opted to pick 2 pieces of chicken with beans and slaw (slightly cheaper than going with the 3 piece meal too,…More »
