Your closest best sushi spot. Don't go to isushi, or BC sushi nearby. Those places are not good. Temaki does a great job. For the best sushi within 20 blocks, hit up Green Leaf Sushi (healthy) or The Eatery (yummy and a health trade-off).

Aburi Style Sushi, which if you haven't had, you should check out. Delicious, high-end sushi here. . they often have a line-up, so try to go early (before 6), or prepare for a wait if you go on the weekend. It is worth it though! If you like salmon, the Salmon Tobiko roll is divine!

This is the buffet and prepared food section of Whole Foods. Its actually a great option if you need quality food, in a hurry. They have a burrito bar, a cafe, a hot and cold buffet, and plenty of prepared salads. Burrito bowl is a big win.

A busy, action packed atmosphere, makes you feel like you're in Hollywood. The real special bit about the Eatery is their creative sushi rolls. They aren't the healthiest, but they are definitely the yummiest sushi creations you may ever eat. Check out the Japanese Fortress.

One of the best coffee shops in the city. Culprit coffee is a totally gluten-free bakery + coffee shop. They get organic coffee beans from the island nearby and make their own in-house almond & pumpkin seed milks, turmeric lattes & "bulletproof style" lattes. They also have regular organic milk and butter. They bake gluten-free cookies, brownies, donuts and other loafs that are super delicious! It's a 10 minute walk from our place just down the street.

Aphrodites is one of my favorites - they are an organic cafe with local foods, delicious house-baked bread & pies (including gluten-free options!) They have amazing breakfast, and lunch. You can go for dinner as well, but they are at their best during breakfast/brunch. After breakfast, you could easily walk down to the beach or drive to Jericho beach. There are also bookstores across the way, thrift shops, a juicery, a pharmacy and an IGA.
