The price is amazing for the portion size. Compared to other froyo places I've tried, you definitely get more for what you pay for here. I also love that the froyo is made from kefir -- it tastes fresh and slightly tangy in a really good way. Even the little details stood out to me. The water bottle design is super cute, and honestly, the water tastes way better than my Brita water at home. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

Great neighborhood coffee shop that I found buzzing on a Saturday morning. Many people brought…read moretheir dogs, and thankfully there is plenty of seating on the patio. I ordered a special drink: the Orange Carmel Cloud, a fancy cold brew coffee. It was super refreshing and tasty. Would definitely come back and maybe check out their Kits location next time.

I was told they don't offer to go cups and that I would need to either rent a reusable cup for $3 and bring it back later, or drink from a mug. Since I'm not a regular customer and was just passing by, neither option really worked for me. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving without even being able to try the coffee. I understand the sustainability idea, but it would be nice to have at least some practical option for customers who genuinely need takeaway.

Mom went ahead of me and ordered some kind of latte beverage for herself. Looked like a pretty…read moredecent drink. I waited what felt like a billion years to order my beverage because the person in front of me was asking a billion questions and taking ages to order her drink. Finally I got to the front and the cashier very politely thanked me for waiting so long. Appreciated that she was aware of the situation and acknowledged it. Points for customer service. Seemed like they were out of a lot of ingredients at this time though cuz I think I overheard her earlier telling the previous customer that they didn't have a certain item; then when I got to the front and I asked for a Lavender Cloud, she said she needed to check with her manager to see if they had the ingredients for that. In the end they put the order through and served it to me. Blah...I didn't like this drink at all. Can't believe I waited so long and paid money for this drink. It didn't look anything like it did in the picture that advertised the drink, and tasted horrible. Made me question whether they had made it properly. I suspect that they were low on ingredients and compromised on the quality of the beverage. If that were the case, I'd appreciated them just telling me straight out that they couldn't make it. I'd have ordered a different drink altogether. I still drink this anyways as I was thirsty and I don't like things going to waste. I plugged my noise so I wouldn't have to taste it as much and chugged it down quickly. I had been curious about the Coconut Cloud drink as well but after this Lavender Cloud experience I probably won't ever bother with the Coconut Cloud drink. I'll just go back to ordering my beloved Rooibos Frappe.

At the Lonsdale shop, one orders and receives a delightful smoothie of one's choosing, then walks up to the till at the front of the store to pay. Another wee difference is that this store has no seating. To compare the two shops a bit further, I found the North Van location to be a bit more laidback than the Victoria's on Hornby. I'd imagine that the Hornby shop also sees a ton more foot traffic and that, too, could make for a less relaxed atmosphere. I came for the smoothies, but for the vitamin/supplement head, this store would seem to have all you need. (If not, then there's a competing health food store just down the road & across the street.) Visitors from Vancouver: take the bus from the ferry terminal straight up the hill, or, if you're feeling particularly spunky, walk!

Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreFood: 4/5 I came to this Persian cafe with my family on a weekend after dinner and it was busy! Their menu is extensive and features lots of shakes (both Persian and non-Persian flavours) along with traditional Persian ice cream and some other goodies. I opted for the most sour thing on the menu which was the "Majoon Torsh" and has a bunch of different things inside including pomegranate slush, sour fruit leather (lavashak) and sour berries and it was delicious! Definitely lived up to the sour promise and hit the spot. The owner is really nice and will take the time to explain all the different flavours to you if it's your first time. My only downsides would be the price (the drink I had was $16.99 before tax and tip so definitely a pricy treat) along with the limited seating. A fun place to try if you're in North Van!

It's small and cozy and has a small gelato selection. We ordered a soy latte because I am lactose intolerant. They do charge extra for non dairy option. I secretly think there should be a movement to stop the extra charges for non dairy option like we stopped the tax on pad. The coffee in the latte is not bad but overall the latte is less creamy than I wanted. Nonetheless, it's a good chill spot to study or have a coffee with a novel.
