Hastings-Sunrise & Grandview-Woodland

As two of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods, Hastings–Sunrise and Grandview-Woodland offer a vibrant mix of commercial, industrial, recreational and residential spaces. The northern ends of both neighbourhoods meet the shores of the Burrard Inlet and provide you with a stunning backdrop of mountains and ocean views. The juxtaposition of industrial structures against the majesty of these mountains makes this neighbourhood feel unique. Nestled between the warehouses and factories are a number of hidden breweries, shops, artist studios, parks and eateries. Best explored by bike, start your day off with a pre adventure breakfast and end it with a beer on the beach and soak up the sky as it turns from blue to pink to black behind the North Shore mountain ranges.

Truck Stop Cafe

Address
1046 Clark Drive

Truck Stop Cafe is truly a hidden gem. Though I’d like for it to stay that way, the family who runs it is lovely and deserves the shoutout. What’s great about it is the no frills menu—an ode to old-school truck stops with its simple bacon and eggs-type breakfasts for no more than $6–8. Because it’s run by an Asian family, you’ll also find items like wonton noodle soup if a traditional breakfast isn’t your thing. Either way, the service alone is reason to check it out.
