Acme Cafe51 W. Hastings St., 604-569-1022, acmecafe.ca.
Located in the historic Paris Block, Acme serves up delish mac ‘n’ cheese, chicken pot pie, and grilled cheese sandwiches—while still managing to stay hip enough for a low-key business meeting. (Wash it all down with a Pop Shoppe soda.) They also bake fresh pies daily, although it took me three visits before I was able to leave enough room for a slice. (It was definitely worth it.)
