COMMUNE CAFE is proud to announce its opening at the corner of Nelson & Seymour Street.

Annette Rawlinson and Tina Fineza have joined the consultancy forces for Samei Holdings Inc. to open COMMUNE CAFE, providing Vancouverites with a unique experience in quality casual dining.

Chef Fineza (Flying Tiger, Les Faux Bourgeois, La Taqueria) has developed an all day menu for COMMUNE CAFE showcasing local, seasonal and fresh items sourced from Vancouver’s abundant small producers, farmers, butchers & bakers. Look for standouts such as house made Porchetta panini with mozzarella, smoked paprika aioli and roasted peppers; Sangak Iranian Flatbread Pizza with caramelized onion, crème fraiche, bacon; Wild Oregon Pink Shrimp with tarragon mayonnaise on Goldilocks brioche hoagie; and Lemon Roasted Fraser Valley Chicken, kalamata & green olives, tomato, feta & orzo Rawlinson (C, Au Petit Chavignol) has put together a team of counter service staff to showcase an A- list of wines from smaller British Columbia wineries and a neat package of some top Canadian Craft beers. Coffees from 49th Parallel and Premium Loose Leaf Teas from Shaktea. will round out the beverage program.

The Award-Winning Designer, Evoke International, has created a contemporary space to include 26 seats inside (including a large communal table) and another 24 on a beautiful street side patio. The design of Commune Cafe utilizes light woods, Recycled felt upholstery, cork pendants, custom wood tables and bright red chairs to create a contemporary and inclusive room. The space is organized around the service counter, with large food display units and menu boards viewable from any location. A large scale, vibrant Miro-inspired mural depicts a time when the cafe was the hub of social life and the inspiration for the exchange of ideas and creativity.

COMMUNE CAFE is committed to using sustainable Producers; being 100% Oceanwise and a member of Green Table Society.

COMMUNE CAFE as a counter service Cafe will be serving the Vancouver Community, 7 days per week for breakfast, lunch and late night dinners.
