The double baked almond croissants are TDF. Wonderful hot chocolate. A friendly proprietor who often greets customers with a smile and a homemade chocolate "on the house." Quality stuff to go, or sit in the cafe to enjoy. Gets busy on weekends!

Located right on campus, in THE NEST. Bagels, muffins, but the piece de resistance is their cookies. Usually there's a batch just coming out of the oven. The "Marbelous" is amazing - chocolate cookie with white chocolate marbled all the way through.

A series of connected beaches, just down the road from UBC Campus. Walk along the beach path going towards the city and take in beautiful views of the city skyline and North and West Vancouver. Stop at one of the many concession stands along the way for beach fries. Loved by tourists and locals alike.
