No, Acme Cafe isn’t a fake cafe — part of an elaborate hoax by Wile E. Coyote to lure the unsuspecting Road Runner to certain doom. Acme Cafe is a new diner in the redeveloping East Hastings neighborhood (right next door to the old Save On Meats), serving up a menu of sandwiches, quiches and a large assortment of pies and baked goods, all in an open kitchen.

Summer has finally decided to grace us with her presence. And as the temperature starts climbing up into the high(er) twenties, we can really feel the heat. So here are five ways we like cool down in Vancouver.

Boulangerie Cho Pain is a small, French bakery on Vancouver’s West End specializing in various sweet delights: artisan breads, pastries, cakes, casse-croute and snacks. They seem to be a local favourite — the front counter staff appearing to know many of the regulars and their usual orders.

It can get hot in Maui. But if you’re looking for a refreshing way to cool down, skip the ice cream or slurpee and head on over to Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave ice on Front Street in Lahaina.
