In Vancouver there's a Starbucks on every corner, and season after season the hottest accessory is toting around their famous paper cup. I'm all for trends, but this causes coffee tunnel vision. There really are other (and better) coffee shops out there.
One of my downtown favourites is The Buzz Cafe, which also houses Harrison Galleries. This shop is unique because not only do they serve fantastic java and paninis, but it's also an art gallery. With couches spread out among the art, it's the perfect spot to cozy up with a book, a latte and let a rainy Sunday afternoon fly by. The shop is located at Smithe and Homer and they have a pumpkin spice latte that rivals anything else you've tried in this city.
So next time you're looking for a java fix, skip Starbucks and try something new. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what the local shops have to offer!
