Small Victory

3070 Granville St.

Grabbing a coffee at the super-Instagrammable Small Victory to kick off a design-focused day is a no-brainer. But be warned: the smell of fresh-baked bread and the rows upon rows of pretty pastries behind glass make it impossible to leave without picking up a brioche cinnamon bun (or two). smallvictory.ca

Suika

1626 W Broadway

It’s technically a block away from the main South Granville strip, but the Asian-inspired cocktails are totally worth those few extra steps. Say cheers to your shopping haul with a yuzu melon mojito or an aloe G&T. suikasnackbar.com

2707 Granville St.

The first Ming Wo opened in Chinatown in 1917—and while the original location has now closed, outposts like the one in SoGra keep this excellent kitchenware store alive and well. Don’t mistake a long history for being dated: adorable Swedish dishcloths, the latest silicone baking tech and more modern kitchen essentials live here. mingwo.com
