VMF2021 Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood’s, home to a wonderful collection of heritage buildings and the many stories that follow them. Residential in part, Mount Pleasant is a dynamic area with a wide range of unique businesses, commercial storefronts, and food spots. Spanning False Creek southeast and up towards the Mount Pleasant shopping district, where Broadway, Kingsway, and Main Street meet, the neighbourhood covers a generous area of land.
If you’re on the look out for a variety of great alternative eats, Main street is the place to go. The Acorn, MeeT on Main, and Burdock & CO. are just a few of the vegetarian options worth pursuing. For the non-vegetarians, there’s an equally outstanding selection of eclectic eats ranging from middle eastern to Jamaican. When it comes to shopping, Mount Pleasant has some of the best vintage and second hand stores in all of Vancouver - you’re bound to find something eccentric and fun.
Coffee lovers rejoice, Mount Pleasant is home to a selection of some of the city’s most loved coffee shops and cafes. 49th Parallel Café & Lucky’s Donuts, Modus, and Elysian Coffee are all worth a sip. For something a little stronger, Main Street Brewing Company, R&B Brewing and 33 Acres Brewing are definite must-visits, all honouring the historic past of Brewery Creek. Can you tell this is the perfect neighbourhood to plan a full day around food, beverages, and murals?
