West End
More infoGreenhorn is the neighbourhood cafe you wish sat on your corner: a charming spot on a quiet, tree-lined West End street with the rare gift of actual seating, plus an upstairs that moonlights as an art gallery and record shop. The coffee's solid, but the real pull is geography. You're two blocks from Stanley Park and the seawall, so the date needn't end when the coffee does.
Get a coffee (and brunch if the timing's right), and poke around the upstairs gallery and record shop while you wait. This one's all about the follow-through: when you're done, walk two blocks to Lost Lagoon and the Stanley Park seawall. Budget an hour at the cafe and leave room for the walk.
