Name that Vancouver Restaurant No. 7

Okay, rev up those restaurant guessing engines. This one isn't exactly a full restaurant. It's a fantastic coffee shop with amazing food. Savories AND sweets! And oh my, those sweets... It's almost my ultimate dream coffeeshop that I'm still questing after. Great coffee, great atmosphere, nice staff, not too loud, and great food. Very reasonable prices to boot! The only things that are missing are 1. being open late night - it's current hours are 8 am - 8 pm (understandable as it's owner operated, and the fact that he's there is part of the charm), and 2. being closer to my place. It's on the North Shore, which I don't get out to that often, but that one is a minor quibble, since it's actually transit accessible - just a few blocks away from the seabus terminal. Are those enough clues for you? Okay, just one more, that should seal the deal if you have been there. The owner is an artist. Guess away!

  3. Anita,
    The prize is the satisfaction of being the fastest foodie in Nancyland, but sadly, you're not, as Elena beat you to it, with the correct answer, Citroen Coffee House. I will agree that Thomas Haas is an artist though, or an incredible craftsman at the very least, with his beautiful sweets.

  4. Yo B! I was kidding about that. I've been to Citroen, it's good but not "WOW". So I stand with Thomas Haas and his creations. Being a foodie is about enjoying/making good food and sharing experiences. Vancouver has a cornucopia of restaurants waiting to be enjoyed and discovered.
