Get your grilled cheese fix at Gastown’s teeny tiny grilled cheese-only walk-up-window. Toasted sammies of gooey goodness are slung together from Tuesday to Friday at lunch and then again on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the popular take away joint stays open until the early hours of the morning for all those late-night revelers.

Twisted Ice Cream
Priding itself on being the smallest commercial space in B.C. Twisted Ice Cream, on Water Street in Gastown, offers passers by delightful frozen treats. Indeed, the one metre by one metre ice cream vendor serves up delicious twisted vanilla soft-serve, which can be bought either in a waffle cone ($3.75) or by the cup ($3.50).

Guilt-free, hand-made dessert is what you can expect to find at Vegan Pudding Co.’s tiny walk-up window.

Bon Crepe
Located between Bute and Jervis, this petite takeout window attached to the Japanese grocery store on Robson is pretty easy to miss. Open Wednesday through to Monday, from 1 p.m. onwards, Bon Crepe offers a varied selection of sweet and savoury Japanese-style crepes. In addition to the original tasting crepes, Bon Crepe also offers a variety of parfaits and puddings.

JJ Bean CBC Plaza
JJ Bean's CBC Plaza branch is home to a sizable walk-up window. In fact, the whole front facade of the JJ Bean cabin is pretty much a walk-up window. Despite looking roomy from the outside, there is actually nowhere to sit down inside, thus this JJ Bean location operates more as a take-away coffee shop.
