New(ish) Nosh: Be Fresh

Talk about a healthy expansion of the most-anticipated kind.

So popular has Be Fresh Market—Vancouver’s curated grocery and café—be-come, it’s only fitting another location was in tall order (and, we’re happy to report, this one rises to the top in all the right ways). Much more than a shopping destination for the freshest locally sourced produce, food and lifestyle products, meat and poultry, Be Fresh also offers a food-delivery service cultivated by Spud.ca and acts as a community gathering space for fun events and workshops. Where the market really shines, however, is in its hip, happening café. Featuring turmeric lattes, avo-toast, gluten-free muffins, salads and more, everything is prepared using wholesome ingredients—right down to the house-made almond milk.

With ample, open seating and gorgeous natural light (plus an outdoor patio for when the weather warms, and dries, up) we predict many "working from home days" in our near future. —Aurea Dempsey
