My WFH productivity has got way up, thanks to a beautiful morning that I wake up to every day!\u00a0 Grocery shopping options are great &#8211; both Costco and T&amp;T are only 5 minutes away on foot! And not to mention all my favourite spots in Chinatown and Gastown for food and drinks are all now within walking distance!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also excited to be near all the great shops now!\u00a0 Having visited Nemesis and Revolver, there are a few more places I want to visit, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/kafkascoffee.ca\/\">Kafka&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/harkencoffee.com\/\">Harken<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/timbertraincoffeeroasters.com\/\">Timbertrain<\/a>, thanks to the detailed reviews by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vancouvercoffeesnob.com\/\">Vancouver Coffee Snob<\/a>, with who I collaborated for an online coffee tasting event.
