Pekeo Tea Lounge

Admire Vancouver’s best cherry blossoms from these cafés

There are more than 150 varieties of loose-leaf tea on offer at Pekoe Tea Lounge in Fairview. The peaceful teahouse on West Broadway is a great spot to pick up a comforting cup of white, green, oolong, rooibos, herbal or classic black tea before taking a relaxing tour of the neighborhood’s flowering cherry trees. Make a point to stroll under the impressive pink canopy of Kanzan trees along West 7th, which stretches seven full blocks from Hemlock Street to Heather Street. Wander along the surrounding residential streets to spot a few other clusters of lovely pink blooms.
