Caffe Vergnano 1882 Review – Authentic Italian Coffee Bar In Vancouver
Caffè Vergnano 1882 is a coffee company with a long and prestigious history; it was founded in Italy way back in, you guessed it, 1882.

Woodvillage Cafe Review – The Perfect Kitsilano “Coffice”
Located right beside Evelyn’s Cafe & Grill on West Broadway near Yew Street, we frequent Woodvillage Cafe more than probably any other establishment in Vancouver. Why? Well the owner, Mac, serves some of the best coffee ($1.95 12oz/ $2.15 16oz) in all of Kitsilano (Oughtred Coffee), and I’m certainly addicted. Oughtred Coffee & Tea is […]
Brioche Review – Bakery, Restaurant & Catering In Gastown
Friends mentioned that Brioche (think Italian meets Pacific Northwest food) is an excellent spot for sweet and savory breakfast items and espresso beverages in Gastown, so we decided to check it out one morning. We ordered a couple omelettes, a cup-of-joe and a latte. We sat the the counter and soaked up the restaurant’s relaxed and […]

Urban Fare – a restaurant, coffee bar and gourmet grocery store – offers fine local products as well as epicurean delights from around the world.
