Swiss Cafe

Swiss Cafe at 5970 University Boulevard in Vancouver. The sign inside reads Swiss Bakery. Costar designed the space, built it and managed the project.

A long service counter with a slatted front holds the pastry cases and espresso machines, and a lit shelf of books and plants is set into its front. The seating is split into areas: a raised section with steps, a glass rail and planters; a back room with thick wood tables and wood chairs; and benches under oval mirrors and framed prints. One wall has a large orange and yellow mural. There is also a self-serve coffee station and an accessible washroom with grab bars.
