Starbucks at 3rd & Burrard

June 15, 2010

Kitsilano Coffee blog did a post the other day about our all time favourite Vancouver Starbucks – the one at the corner of 3rd and Burrard.

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 [...]

Elysian Coffee: Worth Sleeping In For

May 30, 2010

Up until this morning I had never discovered the delights of Elysian Coffee. I’m an early bird, and usually demand my Saturday morning coffee at an unreasonably early hour. Elysian Coffee in Kits opens at 10am on Saturdays, and while this may be a painfully long wait for your first cup of the day, it’s [...]

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.
Living in the neighbourhood, we seem to [...]

Breakfast at Joe’s Grill in Kits

June 25, 2007

We used to end up at Joe’s Grill on 4th out of desperation. The lineup at Sophies was halfway down the block and the servers at Hell’s Kitchen weren’t quite awake enough to know that it was opening time. Sheer laziness often prevented us from venturing much further and we’d wander on into Joe’s.
The decor [...]
