It's 2011.  The internet exists. WIFI is part of the deal if you want my cash for coffee. Even if your coffee is good coffee, I'm never coming back, and to me that's a pretty ridiculous business decision when I spend so much money and time in coffee shops.

Good, fast thai/malaysian food.  I'm not sure the Pad Thai is up to par, but I haven't had much in Vancouver so it'll be my jumping off point.  The Roti was completely delish.

Holy crap this place is good. Super nice owner, open all the time, and my face was blown off by the dosas. They are seriously delicious.

I'm giving this five stars for 24 hour wifi access, which is great for what I'm doing these days.  It'll singlehandedly win my loyalty for the time being over Salt Spring and Blenz (by a mile).

Blenz Coffee

Pretty solid coffee shop...it's a little small compared to the other Blenz's I've been to around town, but free wifi and a handful of plugs makes it a convenient place to hang out and get some work done.

Still not sure it beats Salt Spring right across the street though.

Dream Sushi

This place is pretty damn good, and priced totally reasonably.  There are like a hundred or so colored love notes from previous customers pinned to the walls, and every one of them is a raving review...I almost began to wonder if they were real, honestly.

Either way, the service is fast and the fish is very fresh.  Nice hole in the wall joint on a stretch of Main with very few sushi spots.

Totally killer bagels...on Saturday morning it's bustling and a great place to stop for a snack or to pick up fresh goods.

Everything is delicious.

I can't imagine anything hasn't been said.  Listen to Ice Cube and Steven Segal; eat Japadog as soon as possible.

Great little greasy spoon that people generally walk by and wonder about.  The few who give it's rough exterior a chance will find a really cheap diner menu with lots of options and a friendly family making it all happen, from service to prep.

For the price, this place is really great.  It's what it is...a great diner.

This place is straight up delicious.  Like everyone's said, their beer list is incredible and the casks they offer can be really special.  Favorite restaurant in Vancouver at this point.

Try to the permberton beef dish if they're still serving it; amazing.
