Hidden Gem, on a residential street, just east of Main. People have conversations here, you won't find people on their cellphones! Limited seating, but we have found people don't linger too long, you will usually find a seat by the time your order is served. Great coffee, food, (tomato basil soup sells out fast), and unique items for sale, carefully curated by the shop owners, who are local artists in Vancouver.
