JJ Bean Coffee Roasters
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Reasons we love this JJ's over all others;
1- Outdoor deck area is like someone's back yard, the bonus is part of the seating area can be enclosed, and there's a heat lamp!
2- The view of the mountains in the distance is insanely beautiful.
3- Indoor seating is like being in a cozy ski lodge, equipped with a fireplace!
4- Always friendly, never any barista-tude.
5- Proximity to the lovely & relaxing P&T gardens to walk around, drink coffee and zone out.
6- Of course the coffee is yummy! (Why else would we be here?)
Thank you JJ bean for providing this little oasis at Park & Tilford.

(At least a dozen visits to this location and I still love it the best!)
The perfect platform to plot our pleasure plans. (bet you can't say that three times, and fast.) We huddled on the comfy chairs, giddy with ideas about our trip next week.
The wood ceiling beams really give this JJ's a cozy ski lodge feeling. I just love it.
They should have turned on the fireplace today, it felt so like fall outside. As we sat and watched, the sun and the rain met and had a rainbow baby while we enjoyed our French Press coffee brewed to perfection. -

At the Park & Tilford mall. This beautiful JJ Bean is one of the best cafe's to just sit and chill. Actually you can warm too 'cause there's a fireplace :-) For warmer weather they also have outside seating on a lovely patio!
I luv luv luv their hot chocolate. There are Pannini Sammies and yummy treats too.
This JJ's has wireless and a lot of comfy chairs to sit and read. They actually have a study room. Does it get any better than that?! -wait... it does. They are open 'till midnight ?! OMG.

The Sweet Spot
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Steveston
Cute little country style fresh pastry shop in the heart of Steveston Village, or as it's known around there, "Storybrooke"
(Apparently they film the series "Once Upon a Time" on the main street of the village there and change all the shop signs for the shoots.) I hear it's a bit confusing for people.
Take a long walk, stop for pictures of the wildflowers, have a picnic, fish from the shore, or like us suckers, bring your binoculars and look for the Sea Lions that are supposed to be on the S. Jetty only to learn upon arrival that they can only be viewed from a charter boat. -hah!
Lovely dog walking area and friendly peep's to chat with. Definite recommend!

Steveston Cannery Cafe
Neighbourhood: Steveston
Priced just right but somehow missing the mark for quality or any outstanding feature, sadly I can't see any draw for a return customer. With plenty of tourists to keep them in business, this may not be an economic issue but it's just a shame. It could be so much more.
Hardwood flooring and wooden beams, fresh paint on the walls, photographs of historic Steveston give the place some ambiance, but the plastic deck chairs cheapen the effect.
Outdoor seating is also available.

Actually, I think the place is haunted, too... just to add to the attraction.

The community center is a really nice, bright place to sit and chill for a bit or get involved in some fitness activities. There's a gymnasium in there, some clean bathrooms, and even a wi-fi signal & comfy seating for guests. Nice!

Don't ever walk through the market hungry, I tell ya.
Locals all have their favourite shops they like to hit up, so just follow the flow and you won't fall into any tourist traps. Nasty things, those traps, they'll put runs in your stockings.
Great customer service, willing to answer your questions and not hurry you along for the next customer.
