In inBtwn Cafe (inBetween Cafe), you can expect to be treated with warm and welcoming service so you can relax and unwind from the busy city lifestyle and escape from Vancouver's moody weather. You can expect to indulge yourself with Christy's home made sweet treats and savoury bites while sipping on strong espressos, all the while enjoying the music as Wade is painting out on a sunny day. You can expect that our cafe will become a memorable destination where you can sit down and make unforgettable memories and create connections with friends, neighbours, and even pets that serve as a foundation to our community! You can have these expectations when visiting our cafe because of our attempt to embody the concept of the "third place."

 

The "third place" is a sociological concept defining a space after our homes (the first place) and workplaces (the second place) that anchor our community, encourage creativity and social interaction, as well as establish a sense of place. This is especially important in cities where individuals and creatives crave for a space outside of their homes and their workplace to escape from their busy lifestyle, and this concept is particularly associated with small, independent cafes. People associate cafes as the "third place" because cafes have always been synonymous as the lifeblood of our communities - an inviting and open space where neighbours are able to congregate, create worthwhile experiences, and enjoy each other's company as well as a creative and inspirational hub where like minded innovators converge, share, and give birth to new ideas. This concept is a reflection of what we have always strived to offer to our bustling waterfront community since Day 0, and we promise to continue this traditional role that all cafes have inherited for time immemorial.
