CAFE HOP - REVOLVER - GASTOWN VANCOUVER


My new series of the Cafe Hop. I have been enjoying the sunshine lately and have been in search of some food coffee and tea places. Join me to on a Cafe Hop around Vancouver. 
 

I walked into the Revolver and asked for a Caramel Machiato. The barista gave me a smile and said "we do not have any syrups, we only have different types of coffee beans". 
I knew I was in the right place to search for a master cup of coffee despite my embarrassment.

The barista offered me a cappuccino, asking me what type of beans I would like. Finally realizing my ignorance towards coffee, I chatted for a while and I settled for the coffee bean that had a hint of chocolate. 

Enjoy the rustic decor with me. I love the brick wall, the map of the world in nails, and even the long lamp hanging over each booth. You would have forgotten you were home and thought you were on vacation somewhere. I love the minimalism and the concept.

TEA-HEE - THOMAS HAAS FINE CHOCOLATES AND PATISSERIE - KITSILANO VANCOUVER


Thomas Haas houses my memory of the very first macaron in my life. Which is why I will always hold a dear string to this patisserie. 


But Thomas Haas is named for its fine chocolates and intricate cakes over its macarons. Their long practiced, and talented chocolate making is not longer merely for taste, but for the mastery of art and craftsmanship. Their intricate tea pairings and coffee grounds add not only pop to the tastebuds, but bring out a certain joy from the sweet yet bitter melts of chocolate. 

A group of four ordered-
White Chocolate Kalamansi Cake
Lemon Lemon Tart
Crispy Chocolate Raspberry 

Proscuitto Panini

Green Tea Latte
Caffe Americano
Green Tea with Peach

Brunch Munch - PROVENCE MARINASIDE - YALETOWN VANCOUVER


Nothing beats having an sunny side up egg on a non-sunny day! Jokes, I'm being a pest because it was raining when I got to Provence. In Provence, its always sunny! I love their quirky slogan: "Enjoy the South of France without a Jetlag!"

Provence has such an amazing location in False Creek, next to the Yaletown Roundhouse Community Centre, its always nice to enjoy a luxurious brunch there no matter the weather.



We ordered (Party of three)
Smoke Salmon Eggs Benedict - Poached eggs, smoked salmon on pancakes
Seafood Crepes - Salmon, baby scallops, shrimps, spinach, veloute
(Me) Provence Panini - Goat cheese, pesto, sun dried tomato, prosciutto
Cafe Cappucino
Berry and White Chocolate Clafoutis- French style cake served warm with vanilla ice cream
Menu found here
