Gorgeous interior for a beer spot. They make waffles with a splash of their beer during the weekend. Don't miss out
This is where you want to come if you're an espresso snob. However, lack of outlets makes this more of a visiting locale than a work cafe.
At Beaucoup Bakery, the pastries are pretty solid (the plain croissant scores high on my scrutiny test, and the pine nut croissant is impressive), and the tarts are works of art.
Extremely underrated spot in Gastown. Super cozy and cute. Great food and coffee as well.
Beautiful new menu additions. The uni chawan mushi is exemplary. Easily my favorite restaurant in the city right now. Wine list is groundbreaking for its dedication to natural wine.
"Clover" brewed coffee. Stop in for a cup, awesome. Espresso drinks good too. Free wireless.
Yum! Try the avocado frites & the flatbread ... an incredible treat. The dips platter is light and healthy.
Expensive, but everything is delicious and magical. Luscious lemonades, boldly salted chocolate chip cookies. Good lighting. Everybody's drawing comics in here.
A true "off the beaten path" gem. Make sure to check it out, even if you have to go out of your way a little.
Worth the hike for peaceful ambiance and great espresso. The sandwiches are worth it too, especially the veg options.
Great space to work or to just have a good coffee. Beer on tap was a pleasant and welcomed surprise!
Best place to work in Vancouver. Lots of space, natural light, and wifi. Great coffee and pastries too 🙃
Great selections of freshly roasted brewed and espresso coffees...coffee connoisseurs should definitely try this place
Cute space and decor, solid coffee. They use beans from Timbertrain and other local toasters.
One of the best meals that I have, great atmosphere, drinks and food. You can get raw, vegan, vegetarian and/or gluten free
Cozy, charming place with a unique design sensibility in an unusual location. Fantastic espresso drinks (try the flat white) and cookies. Go see the latest art exhibition upstairs.
Espresso, Cappuccino, filter coffee. New batches of beans every week.
Ultra-hipster café with the crowd to match. Coffee is good, though not extraordinary.
Stanley Park is one of the biggest city park in the world, with the best beaches around including English Beach. Take a walk around the sea wall or visit the Vancouver Aquarium. This is the best park.
Try to see a different perspective from the seawall kayaking around the stanley park

Make sure to discover the "build your own groove pants". You can craft a custom pair of lululemon's signature pants & choose your own colored band. They use recycled / scrap fabric to create them! Read more.
Lululemon : a must have. I couldn't leave Canada without buying something from there.
One of my favourite Bars in the city. Awesome Old Fashioned's from Jay Jones behind the wood. Food is stellar too.
Have a whiskey or two. Ignore the sight of someone shooting up in the back alley.
One of the best wine bars I've visited in Vancouver; relaxed atmosphere not too pretentious. Great Italian restaurant next door; perfect location to catch a show at Orpheum or Vogue after.
Quirky decor, awesome food. All locally selected ingredients. French toast is to die for. OJ freshly squeezed on site. Go early...it's a busy place.
I haven't lived in Vancouver for almost a year now, but when I did, I absolutely adored Elysian and visited frequently. Delicious cappuccinos and super-duper-friendly baristas :)
Probably one of the best coffee shops to study at in Vancouver. Everyone here is studying so it's quiet and the coffee is good too. Cute, quaint and quiet place to work.
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.
Recommend the Mac'n Cheese with sausage (veg) as well as the Cauliflower appy (Thai sweet chilli sauce)
Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to brunch in Vancouver. Be prepared for a crazy line-up, though -- wouldn't recommend going in a large group unless it's after 1pm.
A stunning room overlooking the water and mountains plus zingingly fresh sustainable sashimi and blowtorch-ed aburi sushi makes Miku a signature Vancouver experience. [Eater 38 Member]
Delicious matcha latter and a good selection of gluten-free pastries! The place is well designed and gives a very warm and cozy ambiance. I love it!
Probably the most hidden gem of the decade. Come here, please! You will not regret it. Make sure to try some Fancy Shit and have a nice chat with the owner, greatest barista in town.
Made me a pie convert, 'nuff said. Chocolate Pecan and Salted Honey recommended for your sweet tooth
The only coffee shop I've seen with indoor bike parking. My new favourite downtown/west end place!
One of the best coffeeshops to get work done, it is well designed for this purpose with many seats and lots of outlets to plug into. Espresso was great too
Amazing hidden gem. An apartment turned into a restaurant in what looks like a charming heritage home. Only a couple menu options each day, follow @docklunch_offmain on Insta for the goods!
Try the cappuccino. Here it's more like a flat white: the velvety texture of a cappuccino, but with the intensity of a strong espresso. Best of both worlds!
Once you get past the mystical herb BS that they'll try to sell you on, you will get to eat some seriously delicious, ethical food.
Spectacular food and drink. Have a glass of Natalino del Prete and a bowl of oxtail ramen. Fantastic.
Tucked away on a corner of Hastings-Sunrise, Red Wagon is one of the city’s best and most affordable places for an uncomplicated and flat-out delicious breakfast, brunch or dinner. [Eater 38 Member]
This is the market to go to, if you live nearby the Canada line. Finally a location, that's easily accessible by public transit.
If you can make your date laugh, that’s a good thing. If you need a bit of help, then look no further than TheatreSports on Granville Island which hosts half-price Thursdays. $7.75 for 9:15 p.m. show Read more.
A small but great little museum featuring all things Vancouver. Loved the Happy Show and Neon Ugly exhibit as well as artifacts through Vancouver's history.
Check out the skeleton on display of the largest animal on earth, a blue whale.
One of my favourite places in the city. The hit classes are amazing here. Definitely try the yin on Tuesdays and Saturdays to really stretch those muscles!
Guaranteed laughs. Some of Vancouver's best (and unfortunately worst) comics perform here.
Watch for the Sunday morning film series. You get bagels, a muffin, coffee and juice with you admission.
The bread alone is worth a visit. Bacon brioche, anchovy pastry twist and sesame crisp flatbread... homemade and complementary.
The city's love of all things casual stops here: nowhere in Vancouver has such an beautiful room to enjoy truly fine dining. The elegant creations pair well with the surroundings. [Eater 38 Member]
Go to the Diamond for the excellent cocktails but make sure you soak up the booze with the wicked Vietnamese-style duck sub sandwich.
Congratulations to Jason Browne who will represent Canada at the Diplomático World Tournament 2013 in Venezuela. He qualified after the competition of April 2nd at the Keefer Bar. Cheers! Read more.
This tiny bar and restaurant tucked away on Carrall has cocktail fans thoroughly over-excited thanks to bartender H's creative concotions.
Tried several of their menu items @ Tasting Plates Chinatown, but I much preferred the dish they showcased at Chefs in the Field: Dr. Octopus vs. Mr. Tuna. That was awesome!
Definitely review the list of cocktails - helps guide you through what you should order (fresh or bold, etc) and when (pre or during dinner).
Ticking all the essential Hipster Hang Out boxes (exposed brick, taxidermy, cutesy condiment containers and vintage portraits) it’s scoring much love for its fried chicken, burgers and cocktails.
Communal tables. Good music (hip hop). Variety of asian foods, asian inspired cocktails.
