Best coffee in Vancouver with true experts on the brewing devices. (Incredibly friendly btw.) Ask for the daily recommendation at market price. If you're up for some tasting, try the brew flight.
If the place is crowded, don't hesitate to stand at the wall bar with your cup, as required in many places around the world, and indulge. Otherwise, grab a seat at the communal table and relax.
In the summer, I recommend their iced lattes.. in the winter, just a shot of espresso or a Spanish latte.Also, their lemon ricotta muffin is the perfect afternoon snack.
Great space to work or to just have a good coffee. Beer on tap was a pleasant and welcomed surprise!
Weekday breakfast is something ridiculous like $5 - the Naam is all vegetarian with many vegan options. If you're coming for dinner, you'll wait a while. If the moussaka is on special, ORDER IT. 24hrs
Bella Gelateria’s James Coleridge won both the Jury and People's Choice awards at the 2012 Florence Gelato Festival. He uses quality ingredients to make unique, multiethnic flavors in small-batchs.
Order one of the best burgers in town, wash down with their home brew. Play some pool (downstairs is where the fun's at) or chill on the patio and watch the world go by.
Sit upstairs for a really great view. Cozy feel and lots of cool things to look at including their never ending beer taps. Nothing special about the Margherita pizza. Beef burger was "incredible".
The Alibi Room was the first place in Vancouver to serve Central City Brewing's Red Racer IPA, now a benchmark of the West Coast IPA style. More at the link. Read more.
Check out YBC's famous "Martini Magic" nights - the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month. 3 Martinis for $10 and $3.75 draft pints including their delicious "Downtown Brown"!
At Cartems Donuterie, it’s hard to choose just one donut, but consider the Maple Glaze, a yeast donut that’s not overly sweet, and buoyed by walnuts that are smoked and spiced on site.
You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here, the porchetta is especially delicious. Napkins & water at the back. Their mustard is outstanding & available for sale.
The house breakfast is really good. If vegetarian, swap avocado for the prosciutto. Delicious both ways!
You'll have a great day after an excellent pour-over or espresso drink from Forty Ninth Parallel. Come as early as you can for optimal Lucky's Doughnuts choices.
Get any sushi, plus the eggplant nasu dengaku. Show up as early as possible, or prepare for a wait.
Such a large menu with lots of veggie options (all on one page near the back of the menu). The go mae is not to be skipped!!!!
With 140 taps, CRAFT has become an instant mecca for beer fans - it's actually Canada’s largest selection of draft beers. Beer-buzz aside, we're also told that this is fantastic spot for singles too.
If you're getting the waffles (which you should), go with the chocolate lavender or white chocolate pistachio rosewater toppings. Or both.
