Born out of their passion for good coffee, good food and good health, two local moms built KokopelliCafe in 2006. Although it changed ownership in 2014, today it remains a unique destination cafe and neighbourhood favourite located in the heart of the Dunbar community.
Stepping into Kokopelli is like walking into a friend’s house, with a very casual and friendly atmosphere devoid of any pretension. You’ll find a large kid’s play area at Kokopelli, as well as an all-female front and back of house team running the show.
“We’re women-powered, that’s for sure. We are also one of the only kid-friendly cafes in Vancouver. No one can deal with screaming children like we can – our volume is at 11 at all times!” laughs Jaylin Melnichuk, the cafe manager. “And women can feel comfortable breastfeeding here.”
Kokopelli Cafe is a place where everyone in the family can enjoy high-quality homemade hot and cold beverages, baked goods, and light meals, including mac and cheese for both adults and kids. Customers also love Kokopelli’s frozen take-home meals, which are prepared fresh daily in the cafe’s kitchen.
