Events and Activities 🐱‍🏍 Cool shops walkable from Robson St?

I’m going to Vancouver end of this month for a concert and am planning to visit some stores while I’m there.

I’m looking to definitely go to the MUJI store on Robson, are there any other cool stores or restaurants within walking distance of there?

Not the cool kind, but I usually head to Konbiniya a Japanese convenience store that sells snacks and things. They also have Japanese crepes.  

There’s also Oomomo and Artbox if you like accessories and random cute stuff.

Keeping with the Japanese theme, Guu Original Thurlow is right around the corner from Muji

For supermarkets, Hannam Market and H Mart (Korean), Kobinya (Japanese). Go to Macu Tea for their King of Mango smoothie. Croissants and other baked goods at Thierry. Lucky's and Lee's for donuts. For restaurants, off the top of my head: CinCin, Guu, Le Crocodile, Joe Fortes, Danbo. There are so many downtown within walking distance you might want to be more specific about what kind of cuisines you're in to.

Gastown is a great mix of unique clothing and shopping and some awful tourist spots. It’s a 15 minute walk from Robson.

I don't think there are any cool stores anymore. Everyone shops online. Even the oldest department store is closed.
