Traveling through the streets of Victoria, the city offers a lot of sights and wonderful distractions. As I was wandering through the Chinatown neighborhood, I emerged from Fan Tan Alley and found myself hankering for a good coffee respite. Lo and behold, so stood a Habit Coffee location, offering a perfect respite for me and my party.

In my experience, most shops that make their own bagels usually don't have great coffee. Especially when wandering around the east coast, most places that specialize in bagels don't put the same effort into their coffee. But in Bellingham, I found the fabled unicorn of an operation that makes great bagels and offered a solid coffee experience.

Frederick is a town I have seen quite a few times these past few years and much like a lot of cities in the northeast, it has historic charm mixed with newer construction. But of all the sights and shops, one spot I really enjoyed in Frederick was it's bicycle + coffee shop, Gravel and Grind.

Every time I have been to Vancouver, I swear I see a different city. The most recent visit, I was blessed with a gorgeous day to wander from my parking spot downtown over to Granville Island. 

Hide + Seek Coffee

Few cities allure me more than Victoria, and one of the reasons is the variety of coffee shops the area boasts. One that is truly tucked away down an alley is aptly named Hide + Seek Coffee. With two locations, both with amazing patios for nice weather, I was in the neighborhood of their Fairfield Road location one beautiful summer day and was able to stop in.
