A real Italian caffè in Kitsilano, the Epicurean brews a mean espresso. Locals and visitors flock to this tiny neighborhood deli, packing the sidewalk spots on nice days or the cozy small tables inside when the weather turns gray. Italian sweets, biscotti, and sorbet go well with any of the coffees, but for a savory treat, have a peek at the glass display case in the back. Freshly made antipasti, cold cuts, salads, panini sandwiches, and risotto are just some of the delectables available for lunch or takeout. Eat-in guests can now sip a glass of wine to go with the fab food as the Caffè finally obtained a liquor license. The menu changes regularly, as the owners try out new recipes. Let them know if you have a favorite, and you may find it in store next time.
