Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
My regular visits here keep my book buying habit satiated. Heavy wooden bookshelves laden with tomes on almost every topic tower over my head. I can easily spend hours browsing the (fairly) well organized shelves or stop in for a quick 15 minutes on…More »

Ahhh Wonderbucks! Everything I need from a cheese grater to those tiny drink umbrellas, all for just a few bucks!
I've been in love with Wonderbucks since I moved to Vancouver in 2007. I just have to stop in every couple of weeks to see what's new.…More »
7. Continental Coffee

(604) 255-0712
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I really can't add much to what others have already said about Continental Coffee - its a Commerical Drive mainstay.
Just a tip, Continental uses the same Tazo product as the Starbucks just across the street and sell its Chai Lattes for a dollar…More »

My lunch at Bouzyos was delightful. We sat on the patio under the shade of a big umbrella and order from their large selection of lunch items. I had the Lamb Souvlaki and my companion had the Prawns. Both were cooked perfectly and served with a nice…More »
9. Elizabeth's Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5L
(604) 255-9909
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
This bakery is one of many in the area and nothing about it really beckons one to stop in, but a co-worker recently turned me on to one of her secrets. While you can grab a cookie or pastry anywhere along Commercial Drive, you don't often find a…More »

(604) 253-8424
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I cannot believe I have been working on Commerical Drive for almost two years and haven't tried Take Thai Home yet. I'd heard good things and was not disappointed. Its not the most authentic or creative Thai food I've ever tasted, but it definitely…More »

Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
I shop at Norman's nearly every day. I love that I can grab fresh produce for dinner on my way home! The selection and prices are good and I've found that my produce from Norman's seems to stay fresher than when I stop by one of the other markets on…More »

Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Pane Vero has a lot to offer the commercial Drive community. Its a bit of a trek down from the clusters of other coffee shops on the Drive, but it is worth the hike. With a bakery on site and deli case full of fresh made sandwiches and salads, this…More »
15. Vaneast Theatre
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B5
(604) 251-1313
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Cheaper seats, cheaper eats, and vintagey movie going experience - I really appreciate the Vaneast Theatre. First run movies for a few bucks cheaper than the bigger theatres and decent popcorn that doesn't break the bank are definitely elements to a…More »

(604) 254-1214
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Normally, a neighbourhood grocery store might not be worth a mention, but the Commercial Drive Super Valu has recently stepped it up in my book.
While they have always had a decent selection of the basics, I never shopped their much unless it was to…More »

Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Urban Grain Pizza isn't my first choice for a slice on Commercial Drive, but it is the closest place between my office and the Skytrain to my next appointment. Basically, it'll do in a pinch.
The whole grain crust is a nice change in flavor for me and…More »

Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive

Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Popped into St. Augustine's for a after work beer yesterday. The signs announcing 20 beers on tap and cheap, cheap, cheap drink specials had perked my interest over the last few weeks. This pub concept is the newest in a handful of ownership…More »

Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Desperate for a bite while running lunch break errands, I decided to try Famous Falafel on my way back to the office. Its possible I'm spoiled working on Commerical Drive because I've come to expect quite a big bang for my lunch time buck. Famous…More »
