Organic Lives 1829 Quebec Street Vancouver, BC V5T 1B1

Not a win win for me but grateful folks like this are around, the concept is sweet and sensitive but you have to be really committed.

The creativity is exceptional...I almost am double thinking the rating.  But I rate this based on my taste and hopefully the narrative matters too.

Don't like the hot chocolate do like the sesame crackers and dips (the platter)the woman serving me initially was very nice but afterward the new server was snobby and short I actually felt awkward ordering more. Than the lady who checked me out was warm and sweet and no wasn't actually "checking me out" lol The tortilla soup was pretty cool literally and figuratively. Nothing like the Oaxaca tortilla soup hot and crunchy and light...this was thick cold but the cilantro and the spice and corn went really really well.

I'd go here again but the hot choc was gritty and tasted like water more than cocoa which at $7 a mug is a bit sad also u gotta wanna sacrifice awesome taste for health on some options which Vancouveriets are often willing to do so ....3 utensils up, I'd go again but it's not my favorite place.

Old Spaghetti Factory 53 Water Street Vancouver

I am not usually a fan of this place
but my sister, niece and daughter came
to visit and its one of the few truly family restaurants in the hood :)

 I was pleasantly impressed with the Thai Curry I had mine on spaghetti with prawns :)  I think if I had a half spoon I would have rated this 3.5 for pure consistency...you always know what to expect and when it comes to taking your whole family out..nieces and babies and all...thats a must!  (plus they give you crayons :)

Little Scarlett had the cheese tortellini, Sophie had a classic spaghetti and tomato sauce :)and my sister had a vegetarian lasagne all in all 3 utensils all the way up! :D

Cafe Du Soleil (604) 254-1145 1393 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC

BEST BREAKFAST IN VANCITY all utensils up! :)

As a vegetarian and someone who likes to reduce gluten where possible this gem and literal "hole in the wall" is by far my favorite spot in Vancouver.  The humble mixture of thoughtful handmade eats and treats sets it apart from all the rest.  Nearly always full the best time to go is an unusual time like a Tuesday at 10:30, weekends are busy but worth it!

BEST Gluten Free Bread BAR NONE!

BEST Veggie sausages as well...handmade and big and delicious..pair them with the miso gravy and fall into breakfast heaven.

Don't confuse this one with the other one.  Click for map
This Cafe Du Soleil is the original and though its tiny its a million light years better :)
