Downtown
White Rock, BC
Downtown
Fun fact, the exterior shot of the Tipton Hotel in Zack & Cody was shot here! Rooms had that classic wooden, moody aesthetic. Centrally located and near underground lines!
Fairmont Downtown Vancouver
Beautiful and delicious Italian spot downtown. Spicy vodka pasta, brussels, and bread w butter are a MUST try
Dovetail
Go to store for wedding guest/bridesmaid dresses. I love shopping online but was so fun to see the store in person! Great sale racks too
Park & Fifth
We tried to get a table/spot at the bar here but it was packed, saving for my next visit!
Bartholomew
Yummy vanilla latte
Artigiano Pender
Perfect mid-day stop, got the iced chai and it was great!
Coffee Bar, Buro
I LOVE DONUTS, can't go wrong with any pick from here
Lee's Donuts Gastown
A must have when in CA. I got mine at the airport but there are locations pretty much anywhere you go
Iced Capp - Tim Hortons
One of my favorite neighborhoods to walk around and window shop, loved the historic feel and the Steam Clock is a Vancouver must-see
Gastown Neighborhood
Another cute area to walk around, feels like you're in another city. Tons of markets and small vendors to shop!
Granville Island
White Rock, BC
A bit outside the city but cute beach town to walk around. Home to the longest pier in Canada!
White Rock Pier
One of the best brunches I've ever had, if you listen to one thing from this list - you HAVE to get the Sweet & Salty
Wooden Spoon
Staple place to visit in the greater Vancouver area, has a few locations. The frozen espresso martini is one of the best drinks I've ever had
Cactus Club Cafe
Cute coffee shop in White Rock, fun seasonal flavors and kept us warm while we walked around
