Anecdote Cafe

The Anecdote Cafe may be located on a busy street, but once you're inside you can relax. There is plenty of seating and a nice relaxing atmosphere. There are seats by the window, some tables if you need to work with your laptop and even a couch.

Staff were friendly and the service was great. You can get a stamp card, so after 10 drinks you get one free!

The baked goods are made in-house and the triple berry scone was a favorite.

Their Matcha latte is popular and really good.

Instead of calling out your order, if you are sitting in, they bring it to your table. 

Good service, delicious coffee and eats make Anecdote Cafe a great cafe for a coffee break! If you're in Vancouver or visiting the city or neighborhood, stop by Anecdote Cafe!

Hello Robin Cookies

During our visit to Washington state, we visited the Bellevue location of Hello Robin conveniently located near the playground at Bellevue park.

Kids could play while one parent went for a walk and cookies break! Maybe even  bring a few cookies for the group to share.

This was a small location so unfortunately, no coffee or ice cream. There was, however, a good selection of cookies and a few drinks like milk to go with.

We tried the habanero chocolate chip which they mentioned was the owner's favorite. The spice was in the sugar which made it quite spicy.

Classic chocolate chip didn't disappoint and were a favorite!

They're currently trying out different flavors to see which ones people enjoy best. S'more cookies were 50cents more.

If you're around Bellevue or the Seattle area and caving some cookies for your picnic, playground time or next coffee break, visit a Hello Robin location! They were delicious!

Lily and Roo Vegan Nail Salon

Located in the neighborhood of Kitsilano, this Vegan nail salon was recommended to us and we had a really nice experience.

Despite how busy they were (Sunday afternoon), they checked on us while we waited for our booking, brought us water/tea and even offered us snacks! 😀

Once we sat down, they made sure we were happy at each step of our mani pedi. One person helped with the pedicure the other did the manicure. It was such a relaxing experience!

Lily and Roo is a great place for some "Mommy and Me" time. Kids are welcome and the salon offers special prices for kids under 11. It was the first mani pedi for my little one and they were very patient and careful. There is kid-friendly nail polish, Ella+Mila, available too.

Make sure to book a reservation because it's a popular salon and after our lovely afternoon, we can see why!
