IKEA breakfast

IKEA Canada serves breakfast from 9:30 to 11:00am before they switch over to Swedish lunch meatballs.

On Valentine's Day weekend they served breakfast for $1 and it was crowded!!

Kids love the mini pancakes, sausage and hashbrowns and they get some time in Småland, the kids play area, after eating.

Parents use that time to quickly shop and maybe pay before having to pick up the kids.

There were 3 options, Sausage breakfast, Bacon breakfast or Pancake Breakfast. You could also ask for a meatless option and get extra eggs instead of a meat. 

Staff were busy but efficient. On busy days its best to save a table while the others wait in line for food. Don't forget your trays and cart. Free coffee with IKEA family membership.

IKEA breakfast is the perfect fuel before IKEA shopping!

Don't forget your snacks!

The Hairloft Granville Island

I don't know about your kids, but ours have slow hair growth. When the younger one finally asked for a haircut we booked an appointment at one of the neighborhood salons. The day of the haircut, they "changed their mind" and just wanted a trim haha...

Just a little off was fine with us and it helped get him used to getting a haircut. 

The salon had little cars for seats which the toddler loved.

The Hairloft Hairstyling Studio 

Recently, we tried The Hairloft in Kids Market on Granville Island. They also have little cars kids can sit in and TV screens showing cartoons.

They can get busy so we called ahead to book an appointment. We decided to include a shampoo to make it a more enjoyable first salon experience. 

They checked with us on how much to trim off and if we were liked it before they continued. We were really pleased with the patience and good service at this kids haircut place. 

While waiting, the other kid could go climb around in the Adventure Zone which has drop-off options!

Before the Haircut:

* Tell them about the haircut way in advance. 

* Eat snacks before so they aren't complaining they are hungry.

Kid's first (and even second and third) haircut can be so special! Remember to mark it in your Calendar :) 

Don't forget your snacks!

Basecamp Burger Joint Harrison

We were hungry for breakfast and while walking around the Harrison Lagoon we found Basecamp Burger Joint!

Basecamp Burger Joint has a great location with stunning views of the lake and mountains from inside the cozy restaurant.

The service was pretty good, they showed us to our table right away, brought us water and menus. The food didn't take long either which was perfect because we were hungry :)

Good portion sizes and delicious food. We ordered from the Breakfast Platters menu which is available until 12pm.

If you're in the Harrison Hot Springs area, hungry for breakfast or lunch, stop by Basecamp Burger Joint. They serve more than burgers and we really enjoyed our meal!
