“Absolutely love JQ, such a colorful and fun store! a They are always changing up their stock and even carry plus sizes for us thicker baddies! Staff is amazing, helpful, welcoming, warm and inclusive! LGBT+ and kink friendly!!!”
“I came here looking for tux rental for a black-tie event and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but owner Lloyd was welcoming, professional, and clearly experienced at what he does. He quickly helped put together a great outfit that fit the occasion perfectly.
The shirt material was especially comfortable and the overall fit was excellent — sharp, clean, and easy to wear throughout the event.
Would definitely come back again whenever I need formalwear in the future.”
“The Rockshop is one of the best stores for band merch and alternative goods to visit downtown. I've been a customer there for many years and always love popping in the browse, buy and chat with the employees.”
“Excellent range of sizes, sustainable/locally made fashions, and the sweetest staff. I will make a point to shop here every time I’m in Vancouver 💖”
“Sunday Sept. 6th - Today was my first time shopping in West of Woodward, and I had a great experience because of the salesperson. I really appreciated the time, knowledge, and care that was extended to me. She estimated my size - and nailed it - and provided style options that completely fit my wish list.
I walked in wanting to buy jeans and happily walked out with 2 pairs. Great experience, thank you!”
“I live in ontario and have purchased from Lords numerous times. My very first order was after having a phone interaction with Caitlin who is such a wonderful young woman and her great customer service has made me become a regular buyer. Their items are a bit pricy however unique and high quality.”
“Absolutely love this little shop on Davie Street. I have bought soooo many things there. Love the people who run the show as well. Everyone, absolutely everyone, is soooo fantastic and friendly. We live in the West End and it definitely is a small village ....”
“I Had an awesome experience shopping there. Both the salesmen were super friendly and helped me to choose the correct size of my new loafers. I strongly recommend Wallace as one of the best stores in Canada for clothing and shoes.”
“Have always loved the shop! I do miss it having more used/not as many used items, or just overall having more stock out. Maybe it just felt like there was more at the old gastown location - I really miss that spot, the main st one doesn't have the same charm, and maybe I just haven't had the same finds since.
Still, the women who run it are great, and they deserve a lot of success <3”
“Ive been going here literally for decades and all my favourite pieces come from this great store. The team are so friendly, and the selection can't be beat.”
“Tees.ca is a convenient option for custom apparel and basic clothing needs. The selection is straightforward, making it easy to find simple items like t shirts and hoodies for printing or everyday use.
Pricing is reasonable, especially for bulk orders, which makes it a practical choice for events, groups, or small projects. The turnaround time is generally efficient, and the ordering process is simple.
The quality is decent for the”
“This store surprised us in a good way. It looks small from the outside but on the inside it’s very large. This store has things for everyone from candies for kids, to suitcases for travellers. This store also has a fitting room for people who need to try their clothes. The highlight of the store though was the Robot Barista. Overall this store was a great experience.”
“I came in today to browse cheongsams because it’s been a very long time since I had one and I’ve been wanting to get a new one. This store has an amazing selection and the shopkeeper was very friendly and helpful. I didn’t have time today but I will for sure be back to try some on!”
“One of a Few is a thoughtfully curated boutique with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive without being pushy, listening to what I was looking for and suggesting pieces that actually suited my style.
The selection isn’t huge, but everything feels carefully chosen; versatile pieces that work together or on their own. I ended up with a blouse that fits perfectly and a scarf that’s quickly become a favorite.
What I appreciate most is that shopping there doesn’t feel rushed or transactional. It’s clear the team cares about quality and taste, not just moving inventory. For anyone in Vancouver looking for a boutique with style and substance, this is worth checking out.”

“I had the pleasure of being served by Sakura today! She was the most kind knowledge person ever and I wouldn't hesitate to choose her or COS if you ever come by the store”
“Wivian was super kind, helpful, bubbly, and personable. She showed us all the different styles of what we were looking for. Highly recommend coming here because of her :)”
“Love their clothes and jewelry options. Also have some beautiful tapestries! Great prices for incense and for the quality and thoughtfulness of the clothes their prices are what I would consider reasonable. Just got a whole new wardrobe from there, really love it.”
“Rebecca Bree is one of the best local shopping spots in Vancouver! The store is absolutely stunning and all of the products are thoughtfully hand selected and high quality. I can always find something I love or need without fail! (They also carry May Lindstrom Skin products which I love!) I recently ordered a gift for a friend online and they included such a thoughtful handwritten message card. I could truly feel how much care and thought they put into their customers and I really appreciate their genuine kindness and attention to detail.
If you’re looking for something special for someone or even for yourself, you MUST stop by Rebecca Bree! You definitely won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend!!”
“All of the staff at this store was friendly and sociable. Although I came in for a dress, I noticed that they have quite a few cute summer pieces too. Mitzy upstairs was especially receptive and proactive. She greeted me warmly immediately and seemed personally interested in finding me just the right dress by going through the trouble to make several searches on her device, going to the back to find me a suitable size, and carefully explaining the store policy in case I wanted to make a return. She was attentive to potential issues I might bring up such as a revealing back, a slit for the leg, the fabric of the dress, etc. She made me feel fully supported and seen without me having to express all my thoughts explicitly. I spent half a day looking at different thrift and consignment stores, but I kept thinking back to the dress Mitzy chose for me. I ultimately went back to make a purchase because I had a good experience at the store and I felt their policies gave customers the insurance to try something new. I'd also recommend taking a look at Plenty for their trendy pieces and spacious store layout.”
“Felt very serene walking around this store which is full of beautiful and airy pieces of clothing. They also had a natural dyeing section, felt, embroidery and yarn. So there's something for almost any crafter.”
“Great selections, Love their collections. Great friendly staffs, helpful, services. Finally, managed to get something i like. Got myself a Roll Neck Tee - Night Teal. Always wanted one!”
“I have always been impressed with the quality of the suits, jackets, shirts and pants that I have purchased from Tom James. What sets Tom James apart in my opinion is the incredible customer service. I have been working with Robin Hoare for over 10 years and he is awesome.”
“Great experience shopping here with Paris and her team at Stefano Ricci. Wonder selection of products and the store accommodates appointments. I will definitely be back.”
“Love this store and everything it has to offer. Unfortunately one of the workers is really rude and I choose not to walk in if I see that they are working. I don’t like putting people on blast but I also don’t like feeling judged while I shop. Despite that, the curation is amazing and I really enjoy the customer service from other staff members. Thanks!”
“I was at JD Sports trying to find a new pair of shoes, but I couldn't decide which ones to get. A guy who worked there noticed I was looking around and came over to help, he later told me his name was Adham. He asked what I was planning to use them for and recommended a few different pairs. He even checked the back for my size when they didn't have it on the shelf. After trying on a couple of options, I ended up finding a pair that fit perfectly. He was really friendly and patient the whole time, and the experience was way easier because of his help.”
“I was getting engaged with my fiancé and I wanted to get a nice gift and while I was in Vancouver, I saw this nice store, fine finds boutique. I went inside, staff were impeccably professional, kind, and welcoming. The nice lady at front told me exactly what to get for my fiancé and told me should would love it. I got it, and gave it to her, and to my expectations, she loved it so much. Highly recommend this store”

“It is genuinely rare to come across this level of customer service these days!
I recently reached out to the team at Filson Vancouver, and from start to finish, the experience was phenomenal. They helped me zero in on the exact right hat, patiently and accurately answering every single one of my many questions.
What really blew me away was their proactive problem-solving and lightning-fast communication. Right after finalizing my order, they had it packed and shipped out the door—and even sent over photos showing the item boxed up and ready to go!
This kind of attentiveness, transparency, and care goes above and beyond. I couldn't be happier with the experience and will gladly spread the word. Huge thanks to the Vancouver team!”
“AMAZING! If you’re visiting town you HAVE to stop by… just had my best shopping trip of the year here. The manager April and stylist Liam were soo kind & helpful and their suggestions led to some of my favourite finds. Definitely check out the one-of-kind section, too. Such a well-curated shop!”
“I’ve shopped at this BC location multiple times, and each experience has been consistently excellent — largely thanks to Lingling.
I’ve requested transfers on several occasions when my size wasn’t available in store, and she handled every one of them efficiently and professionally. The items always arrived quickly, and communication was clear throughout the process.
What really stands out is her approach: knowledgeable, calm, and never pushy. She focuses on understanding what you’re looking for rather than trying to upsell, which makes the experience feel genuinely professional and stress-free.
I’ve returned multiple times because of this level of service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Lingling.”
“If you were thinking about getting a suit made here just stop looking and do it. The experience Justin Tan created for me and my boys was unforgettable. Justin was attentive and thorough and made the process a breeze. When I went to get fitted after my suit was ready it fit like a glove the first time. I’ve never had anything fit as well as this suit. The material is fantastic and I had folks telling me how much they liked the suit all night.
Justin did an amazing job and my groomsmen couldn’t have spoke more highly about him. They looked great in their custom tailored trousers too.
I recommend this place to anyone who will listen.”
