Best croissants in town! Make sure to go in the morning though; they fly off the shelves. It's a good place to start for breakfast before checking out Granville Island.

Arts & Culture
There's lots to do on Granville Island. You can walk the seawall, checkout the iconic Granville Island Market, shop in the Netloft, or visit the many galleries and artist/craft spaces! There are always musicians and other performers busking. If you're all grown-ups, there is a distillery and a brewery. If you are with kids, there is a playground (and waterpark in the summer!) and a great kid's market.

It's an artist-run centre on Granville Island that focuses on different types of printmaking. It has a gallery and shop in the front and a studio in the back that you can get a short tour of. Definitely worth checking out if you're on Granville Island!

Drinks & Nightlife
It's the nerd bar of the neighborhood. Decent beer selection, options for non-beer drinkers, yummy food, and board games! Sometimes there are trivia nights and there is a special shot menu that involves a 20-sided die (I did say it was a nerd bar).

Parks & Nature
There's a nude-optional beach right on the UBC campus! It's a beautiful spot with a great view, but be warned that it's quite the treck to get there (so many steps) but it's a great place to spend a warm, sunny day if you don't mind being naked/being around many naked people. This is definitely a spot with a lot of character!
