Where we’re going at The Cascade!

Oldhand Coffee

My favourite place to curl up with a good book, or when I need something sweet to help take the load off during an afternoon of catching up on all the things I’ve been avoiding. Their Earl Grey snickerdoodle is my kind of kryptonite.

Vedder River

I spent my childhood by the river, splashing with my dog in shallow pools, walking along the banks with my friends, picking out any cool stones we could find, and biking along the Rotary Trail. Now as a young adult, Vedder River still calls to me like an old friend. We catch up, we share laughter and stories, we take great photographs and make even better memories.

Foxglove Floral Cafe

I’m a little late to the party, but I just checked out Foxglove Floral Cafe last month with a friend. And let me tell you: I’m obsessed. Plants, coffee, and cute, comfy seating all in one place? And a patio where you can sit for hours in the sun? Sign me right up. Plus, bathroom selfies are changed forever with the beautiful mirrors and lavender and forest green striped walls.

 Boardwalk Cafe

Located in downtown Abbotsford, Boardwalk Cafe is a nice place to socialize. They serve great food and carry every board game imaginable. I highly recommend you try the spinach artichoke dip and the sandwiches.

Sardis Park

Conveniently located within walking distance of my house as well as a number of incredible local restaurants, Sardis Park is, hands down, one of my favourite places to wind down. It’s the perfect place to picnic in the summer and walk among the changing leaves in fall. It’s beautiful. It’s wonderful. It’s practically perfect in every way.

Just watch out for the geese!

Crescent Beach*

Slightly more low key than White Rock, Crescent Beach offers a reclusive, relaxed, and scenic way to spend a day on the beach without overbearing crowds, screaming young children, or those darned pier jumpers. Ice cream is nearby and fish and chips are plentiful; what else could you need?

Aurora Roasters

Aurora Roasters is a hub of creativity and socialization. The open concept café spotlights local art around its walls, creating a laid back atmosphere. It’s the place I like to go to get some uninterrupted writing done and enjoy a sweet treat.

Davids Creek

Found in the lush jungle of Maple Ridge, Davids Creek has been our go-to summer spot for years! Although it may not offer the great sandy expanse of some swimming holes such as Alouette, it is the perfect private place to cool off, catch some sun, and enjoy the company of friends.

District 1881

District 1881 is the cultural hub of Chilliwack with tons of cute boutiques, coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants. The distinct architecture makes it feel like a little slice of Europe right in the heart of downtown Chilliwack. It is a great destination to go to shop and eat, but also just a great place to walk around!

Clearbrook Library

When I want to look for inspiration or creativity I usually go behind the Clearbrook Library, because there’s a garden with a fountain which I find really peaceful just to sit down, read, draw, and get ideas or find inspiration. Sometimes I go there with friends just to hangout and talk.
