Umaluma - Dairy-Free Gelato in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I love ice cream as much as anyone in Vancouver. Lactose intolerance doesn't stop me from enjoying this sweet dessert but I admit I get pretty pumped whenever I hear of a dairy-free option that's not sorbet. In comes Umaluma [http://umaluma.com], and my interest »

Hawk & Hen - Waiting on Brunch in Victoria [REVIEW]

A day trip to Victoria can be hectic enough as it is. Between the 3 hours spent commuting on a ferry and the distance to and from terminals, I like to keep a soft timer on things like meal time and chopping out itinerary items in case there isn' »

45 Degree Bubble Tea - Shaken With Ice [REVIEW]

It's not summer in Vancouver without a new ice cream shop opening. For 2017, the eastern edge of the Arbutus Ridge neighbourhood has seen La Glace [http://laglace.ca] open its doors this August. With French décor and an emphasis on handmade ice cream, does this dessert stop »

Dosanko - Hokkaido Japanese in Japantown, Vancouver [REVIEW]

While not as prominent in today's society, Japanese immigrants from the early 1900s had a large representation in the neighbourhood east of Gastown and Railtown known as Japantown. It's fitting then, that a place like Dosanko [http://dosankorestaurant.ca/about_dosanko/] has sprung up in this »
