Scenic Deep Cove (North Vancouver, Canada), is home to Café Orso, a brand new coffee house that provides a perfect destination for those seeking a post-hike treat. Located just one block from the water, this European-inspired café (click on photo to enlarge and see slideshow) serves 49th Parallel coffee as well as a great assortment of Liege waffles, croissants, local artisan charcuterie plates and more. Co-owner Johnny Hayward ensures that everything in the menu is chosen carefully and sourced locally where possible.

Café Orso’s modern design, by co-owner Lori Steeves (Simply Home Decorating), evokes that calm and airiness we have come to expect from modern West Coast architecture and style. Its elegant white brick walls mesh well together with twiggy light-fixtures, including a great chandelier. Upholstered benches and comfortable wood chairs add to the charm of this local gem.

If you visit the North Shore, be sure to stop by Café Orso to experience its food and charm. No doubt this café will soon become a destination for Vancouverites and others who expect uncompromising quality.
