What can I say? One Starbucks is like every other? No, not actually. While the general branding is the same, the layout of most Starbucks locations seems to vary - and the one at the heart of Yaletown is simply great.
Yaletown is host to a number of Starbucks shops, and they are very, very good. […]

Yaletown Brewing Company
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Great Beer on Tap, Yaletown and Stellar Patios. 2 CommentsThe Yaletown Brewing Company is an awesome, fun place. I choose these less-than-original descriptors as there is nothing particularly original about the brewing company, but it is definitely an awesome and fun place. It’s loud and friendly – you might say boisterous- the beer is great and it pairs well with the food. There is […]

Urban Buffet
Published by June 24th, 2007 in All You Can Eat, Japanese Food, Chinese Food, Yaletown and Ethnic Food. 0 CommentsThe Urban Buffet is on the corner of Nelson and Homer. It looks a little creepy on the outside .. this huge old building glowing with neon lights and the glare off of deep fried this and that. The lady that welcomed us at the door seemed a little ‘too’ inviting if you get my […]

Tucked away in Yaletown is the very tiny O-Cha tea bar. Should the selection of tea and coffees provided there become even slightly larger (it already serves over thirty types of tea), it will almost certainly burst at the seams and have to move.
The small size of this unassuming coffee/tea/sandwich bar does not at all […]

Nester’s Market may seem like another overpriced Yaletown grocery store — and in a sense it is. It’s located underneath another big concrete and glass overpriced condo building and exists primarily for the lazy Yaletownites who go for convenience over price.
However, Nestor’s has incredible sales and their meat section is relatively cheap. To top things […]

“Milestone’s?” you ask. “But isn’t it a chain?” Yes, it is- but they do a better job of it here in Yaletown than elsewhere. Abandon whatever conceptions of this place you had prior to visiting the Hamilton St. location (such as those established in the airport, mall…), as they’re not entirely accurate.
Now bear in mind […]

Melriches on Mainland
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Wifi Enabled, Coffee Shops, Breakfast Haunts and Yaletown. 0 CommentsWe have a tradition of eating a super greasy brunch each day on the weekend. Usually we hit up Denny’s because we are clearly uncreative and like love handles, but my favourite place to go is Melriches in Yaletown.
Anything with the word ‘Yaletown’ in it sort of automatically cancels out the possibility of it being […]

Diner Yaletown (Now Closed)
Published by June 24th, 2007 in Diners, Breakfast Haunts and Yaletown. 0 CommentsOne of the most disappointing things about living in Yaletown is the lack of great casual places to grab a bite. Sure there are a select few, but I need selection damnit! While there’s no shortage of ‘fabulous’ hot-spots where you can fill stomach and empty your wallet, most of them feel somewhat the same, […]

I used to live in Kingston Ontario, where there was a fabulous bakery, Pan Chancho, mere minutes from my house. I got quite accustomed to fresh baked bread, pain au chocolat, and brioche almost every morning. While it may not have been good for my waistline or wallet, it was certainly a treat, and something […]
