The Secret Side of Sophie’s

May 30, 2010

I have a newly re-formed love affair with Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe in Kitsilano. For years Sophie’s was that staple place I’d take guests from out of town. We’d brave the long weekend waits and fill our bellies with fresh diner coffee and huge plates of bacon and eggs. From the eccentric decor to the sassy [...]

May 29, 2010

Another post we loved from the Kitsilano Coffee blog. Arbutus Coffee on the corner of 6th and Arbutus in Kits is also one of our neighborhood favorites. If you haven’t had their giant berry muffins and a maple latte, you really haven’t lived. Go now!

Las Margaritas on the Cheap

December 28, 2007

Las Margaritas on West 4th is an awesome place for a night of fun food and drinks – but it’s never exactly cheap. Add up a few pitchers of sangria, a round of tequila shots, and a platter or two of chimichangas, and you’ve racked up a hefty bill.

Spud.ca – Organic Grocery Delivery Service

December 28, 2007

Recently we signed up for the grocery delivery service Spud.ca. At first we felt a little bit lazy ordering organic groceries online and having them delivered to our door- but we got over that pretty fast and haven’t looked back since.
Spud.ca is a convenient way of getting fresh, local and organic produce (and other groceries) [...]

IHOP on Kingsway

November 14, 2007
