Plenty of parking, clean restroom, attractive building. I was delighted to turn the corner and see a top-notch coffee bar! Gleaming espresso machine, vacuum brewer, and a solo hand-press espresso machine on display. he Cortado and Americano were both really good. Just thrilled to walk in with low expectations for a carafe of anything caffeinated, and instead find a pro barista who cared and made magic in a take-out cup. Reasonably priced, quick, and takes Android Pay. Marking this one on my road map.

Everything from the décor, to the yoga studios, to the rooms for rent and even the washrooms. Our family attended a children's party that some friend's of ours held in the Cyprus room and we were impressed. The staff were friendly and engaged the kids as well as the adults, the toys were in excellent shape and the whole area was clean. By area I am referring to the play area, kitchen and the washrooms. There's even a playground right outside the room if you want your kids to get some fresh air. If you're thinking of hosting your child's birthday party, I highly recommend this community centre.

This review is for the fitness center only…read more But it's a very nice one. Not being one for megagyms, I come here. It's got all the essentials you'd expect to find anywhere, (no kettle bells though so crossfitters stay away!) and doesn't get too crowded. However like all gyms it has overly buff workout - enthusiasts who tend to "camp" on the equipment. So if you can, go during the day when it's a bit quieter. they also offer personal training and physiotherapy sessions, and your north van recreation membership is good at all the other community centre's in North Vancouver.

I will admit: this is the one Yelp review that i've kept putting off... the one that time and time…read moreagain, i've made excuses for... because this dear folks, this is my greatest secret. I currently possess a library of 700+ books. It's safe to say, i'm a full fledged bibliophile. And i'm damn proud of my collection. I've got the Booker prize winners since my year of birth (personally mission to read), almost all the Nobel Literature laureates in the same time frame, CBC Reads authors, Giller Prize winners and even a few of Oprah's picks. I've got a couple shelves of poetry; a good collection of coffee table books and a cupboard of doubles - perfect for any house warming/dinner party/birthday gift. My library largely came together in the last three years and in its entirety, should have cost me thousands to assemble. Except it didn't. And after getting scolded by my mother for keeping quiet about a good cause, i'll explain why: The White Rock Rotary Book Sale. Hold on now. Don't roll your eyes. I know what you're thinking but this isn't an ordinary book sale full of old text books, cookbooks and bad romance novels (though, if that's your cup of tea, they have those too). No no, this is a magical land where you can find the greatest of authors in almost pristine condition. I've found Jose Saramago's Blindness in mint condition hard cover. About 8 perfect copies of The English Patient (the non-movie cover); not to mention every other title from Mr. Ondaatje. An old school version of 100 Years of Solitude before they started with the hokey covers... the list goes on and on and on. The first time my mother and I went, we left with two boxes each. Over 250 books. Because here's the best part: Not only is this for a great cause. And has a great selection. But it's $3 a book or 3 for $5. GGAAAHHHHHH!!!!! We're so notorious at this sale, that not only do they know both of us by name, but the exceptionally helpful club members occasionally set aside authors they know I like and pass on "HA HA beat you to it!" messages when my mother gets there before me. In fact, they not only help you look for whatever title you happen to be seeking but if they DON'T have it, they will take your information and call you after the sale if they come across it while sorting through the new used books. Why? Because these are the NICEST PEOPLE IN EXISTENCE. My mother and I are so obsessed with this book sale of mythical proportions that we arrange work and travel dates around it. It's serious business. So i'm telling you...still slightly begrudgingly...but i'm telling you because these are fabulous people, hosting a fabulous GEM of a booksale for a fabulous cause. And you should support them. I'm going to get there before you anyway. PS. For those with little ones (or the aunties & uncles with little ones to spoil): they have a decent collection of children's books available "by donation." Check their website for upcoming dates & stories on other good stuff.

I love languages, and at UBC, I took a Swedish course. I fell in love with the language (I also had…read morean awesome teacher, which played a big role in loving Swedish so much), so when I graduated from UBC, I wanted to continue studying Swedish. Unfortunately I was only able to complete one year of Swedish due to the timing of my graduation, and I couldn't take the second year Swedish class after I graduated because the course was only offered during the day, which interfered with having to work. However, I found out that Swedish (and the other Nordic languages) was offered at the Scandinavian Community Center, and took some classes over the years. The teacher was nice, but the quality of the instruction was nothing compared to UBC. But it was definitely better than nothing, and the price was very reasonable. The last time I took lessons at the Scandinavian Community Center was years ago, probably 2013. I'd love to take more lessons, but taking transit there is a nightmare. The community center is in the middle of nowhere, and there are two busses you can take from Metrotown Station, the #110 and #144 buses. The bus ride is quite long, 20 to 30 minutes (because they take these meandering routes), the timing is such that they arrive way before the class starts or minutes after it starts, and the two buses leave Metrotown within minutes of each other, so you miss one, and you miss both. And in the evening, the timing doesn't align with the class's end time, so you either have to leave class early or wait for half an hour in the dark, at an unlit bus stop, that's just a bus stop sign stuck in a ditch on the side of a super busy highway. Perhaps things are different than when I took lessons, but back then, to walk to and from the bus stop to the center (which was at night, as the class starts at 7pm and ends at 9pm), there was no sidewalk so you had to walk on the side of a busy highway and hope a car didn't hit you. It was particularly terrifying when it was pitch black (there was no lighting) and raining. I'd love to give the Scandinavian Community Center more stars, and I'd love to take more Swedish lessons, but the location is horrible and not reasonably transit accessible, and the instruction is only so-so, so not worth it for me to make the trek.
