Kitsilano’s newest coffee stop comes with an unexpected neighbour: a nail salon.
Vine Coffee has opened inside Artesano Nails at 2567 West Broadway, bringing a local family’s small-batch coffee business to the neighbourhood.
According to the West Broadway Business Improvement Association, the café is the first location for owner Mimi and her husband, who has been roasting coffee beans since 2019.
Mimi works behind the counter and makes the café’s syrups in-house, including a seasonal pumpkin spice syrup. She also creates its artwork, signage and merchandise designs, with some help from her children.
The opening brings a project the Kitsilano couple has been developing for years into their own neighbourhood, with their small-batch roasted beans at the centre of the menu.
For visitors, the shared space offers the option of picking up a latte during a nail appointment or simply stopping in for coffee along West Broadway.
