Caffe Brixton Vancouver

A London-themed cafe in Chinatown, you say? Only in Vancouver would these two cultures come together.

Caffe Brixton (I keep calling it Brixton Cafe) is finally open on E. Georgia at Main, next to the London Pub which is also now open.

I haven’t checked out the cafe yet, but I did get the London Pub a couple weeks ago. It’s a beautiful space… it felt a bit empty though, I would have liked more of a cozy feel. Hopefully business picks up because it was pretty slow when I stopped by there on a Saturday afternoon. Beer was reasonably priced though… they didn’t have the kitchen up and running yet though.

A friend checked out Caffe Brixton today and here’s what he had to say:

“The kitchen is open but obviously a work in progress. They have a few pastries and 2 sandwiches in the display rack to choose from. I asked if they could make something else fresh or soup even and the response was no. I ordered a large latte for just under 5 bucks. It was luke warm, but it did have a nice leafy design on top. They told me that they do share the kitchen with the pub and that they’re working on a lunch and dinner menu. I think they opened too early. It’s dead quiet with a similar interior to the pub. They also have decades old issues of Architectural Digest and The New Yorker magazines to read. Maybe I’ll give them another go next month?”
