I spent quite a bit of time walking through the West End, Davie Street in particular, as it was close to where I stayed while visiting Vancouver.

The West End of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is on the downtown peninsula neighbouring Stanley Park and the areas of YaletownCoal Harbour and he downtown financial and central business districts. The definition of the "official neighbourhood" of the West End, according to the city, is the area west of Burrard Street, east of Denman Street, and south of West Georgia Street.[1]

There are so many amazing coffee shops in Vancouver, I wish I had the opportunity to try them all. One night I ordered a hot beverage at Blenz Coffee, a common Canadian chain similar to that of the American Starbucks.
