smart mouth, gastown

We looked for a place to grab quick lunch before heading to something more serious, and ended up at Smart Mouth Cafe. It is a quaint Gastown café with a large window view for people-watching. They serve tasty sandwiches, pastries, and great coffee, with very friendly service! We also managed to snap a few pictures in Gastown before time ran out.

Sophie's Cosmic Cafe, Vancouver

The cute buttons giveaway contest has officially ended. Thank you so much for participating my sweets! I will take all of your suggestions into consideration, and I hope i continue to have your support (no i’m not running for mayor). The winners will be announced and contacted this weekend =)

Spring is in Vancouver’s air. We went for a stroll in the Kitslano area and decided to dine at Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe. I am not going to say that they have the best food (i’m not a picky eater), but the decor of this restaurant is just out of control! To supplement the lack of outfit pictures, here’s some food porn!

So after that cup of java, Patty took me to this adorable little stationery/gift shop called The Regional Assembly of Text, also located on Main Street in Vancouver. The moment I stepped through the door I fell in love with the minimal yet totally delightful decor!

The lowercase reading room is a tiny space full of reading materials and hand made books for everyone to read. You can also pick up a Make Your Own Damn Book kit at the store to make a book of your own!
