Ngon Cafe offers authentic & affordable Vietnamese delights like banh mi and fresh salad rolls. Here my favorites are the coconut and salted cheese coffee!

Magnificent Seven — seven soup dumplings with different colours and flavours and their giant soup dumplings, which are served with a straw for easy slurping.

They have a dedicated affogato bar that lets you customize your affogato with whichever ice cream you want and you can even add a shot of liqueur.

La Grotta del Formaggio, a Vancouver classic, offers hefty custom sandwiches, unique pastas, and diverse cheeses in Little Italy since the 1970s. Enjoy!

My personal favourite parts of this shop are their tote bag wall and their section of mushroom themed merchandise.
