Vancouver

{insta} Vancouver Honey Spots

August 5, 2013
I take a lot of pride in my city exploring.  Like a modern day Christopher Columbus, I
love navigating my way around Vancouver (and other awesome cities around the
world) to find the best eats, parks, coffee, neighbourhoods, streets, etc.  And what’s the fun in finding treasure if you
can’t share?  That’s where the Marc
Jacobs Honey Spot campaign comes in. 
I’ve been carefully documenting some of my go-to local spots using the
hashtags #MJHoneySpots and #myhoneyspot on Instagram and Twitter!

My obsession with Matchstick Coffee Roasters is no secret. We’re talking delicious coffee (go Kanzu roast or go home), drool-worthy croissants, staff who take a moment to actually smile, and a fresh, yet cozy ambiance. An East Vancouver treasure, wouldn’t you agree?

Speaking of East Van, I have to give a shoutout to my neighbourhood. I’m so happy to call Mount Pleasant home!

Going for a run isn’t such a chore when this is the view you’re headed towards. Sunset jogs around False Creek are a just so necessary.

Barbarella Pizzeria has been our go-to pizza place lately. In fact, we may or may not be headed there again tonight. After a quick Instagram poll though, it turns out there are a few other Vancouver pizzerias we have to try. And so, the search for the city’s best pizza continues!

Concerts are a big part of my life.  I attend as many shows as my credit card will
allow me.  This is especially easy since
Vancouver has some gorgeous venues like The Orpheum or The Commodore
Ballroom.  It also helps when it’s
amazing act after amazing act that comes through town.  Just a few weeks ago we saw The Alabama
Shakes at The Orpheum and my goodness did they put on a great performance.  Can’t wait for their new album!
What are some of your honey spots?

    Fabulous post Alicia. One of my favorite honey spots is a little place called White Sails Bakery. It's by the water with beautiful colored Adirondak chairs and they make the best treats… sugar pie and coconut mandarin tea biscuits!

    I'm finding my favourite coffee place lately (since I'm roaming around Gastown these days) is CoffeeBar. Excellent stuff and a nice quiet and sunny back area to read in during my lunch hour.

      I'd have to say that I agree with your love for Coffee Bar. They're my go-to for Gastown meetings!
