Both are bright, energetic

* ower Lonsdale residents will be glad
a to know a new coffee shop is open at
e corner of 2nd and Lonsdale.

Thanks to the great looking new condomini-

um projects which offer ground floor retail
“, space, Lower Lonsdale is becoming “the

“place” to be on

the North

Shore.

Esquires

Coffee (sister

store of the cne

by the same

name near

Metrotown), is

taking the

gourmet coffse

business to new

heights. Not

only do they

offer all the pos-

sible individual

coffees anyone

would ever think of ordering but they’re

hoping that you will bring ihe kids and stay

awhile.

The fresh, modern surroundings don't
necessarily suggest that this coffee spot is
kid friendly, but take o closer look. There
are fountain drinks for the kids and multi-
coloured wafer treats ccilled Yohays.
(Yohays are striped wafers in six different
yummy Havours like chocolate and Irish
creme.} Off in the corner you'll find a kids
play area that comes in handy when you

want fo just sit with a friend over coffee anc
chat. Knowing you can keep the kids happy

is a great incentive to choose Esquires
Coffee as a mesting place.

This fall, Esquires Coffee is planning to
start a Reading Club for kids ages 6-10
years old so Mom and Dad can enjoy a
bite of breakfast undisturbed. Esquires also
serves lunch and dinner, making o point of
trying their best to serve healthy fare with

less than 3 grams of
fat. ;

Seiting themselves
apart from other coffee
houses, Esquires also
stecks games like
chess, checkers,
backgammon and soon
you'll be able te listen
to liva entertainment in
the evenings. If you just
want to sit for a bit dur-
ing your busy day and
daydream with a
recent copy of Sports
Mustrated or Glamour
Magazine, then you

can indulge yourself in that way too.

Owner Sam Rahim and his cousin/part-
ner Jas Gill do offer coffees and food “to
go” but for the most part, they want to
encourage you to stop and stay for a bii.
The view is certainly worth taking in and
the fireplace will welcome you on those
cold damp days.

The folks at Esquires Coffee hope you'll
come to know them as your friends on the
corner of 2nd and Lonsdale with the time to
say hello and the time to make every visit
enjoyable.

With their approach, then perhaps the
old friendly coffee shop concept on the cor-
ner hasn't died, its just been re-invented.

Our tasty Rotisserie
Quarter Chicken Dinner, with a
yummy ‘Woody’ Sundae.
