"Order a craft beer flight. If you can’t decide on just four beers, ask the bartender for help."

"The fish in the nigiri sushi is among the highest quality I’ve had in Vancouver, the sushi rice is perfectly seasoned, and Nina Simone is on the soundtrack. What’s not to love?"

"Vancouver’s third-wave coffee Mecca. Great for people-watching, especially if you like hipsters. Try the off-menu flat white."

"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."

"Huge windows are great for natural light, gazing at the downtown skyline, and Main St people watching (both inside and out). Excellent, eclectic selection of reading material. Lots of hipsters around."

"Get things printed here. Adil, the owner, is very good at what he does."
