Faubourg has been a welcome new addition to the mix of cafes scattered about in the Kerrisdale area since late last year. Much has been talked about this place for awhile, and not much for a typical latte, but more for a sit-down experience that whisks your imagination away to Paris!
Indeed, as I have found out, this is true J When I do come here, I find myself sitting in its tight cafe space amongst a mix of English and French accents with a warm flakey croissant in one hand and a cup of cappuccino in the other. Absorbing the smells of the bakery and capturing a black a white motion picture projected on a wall in the top corner of my eye, I can’t help but feel I’m like I’m somewhere else! A characteristic Kerrisdale experience this place also offers is an Afternoon Tea Service. My friend C was enormously excited about organizing an afternoon tea get-together at Faubourg after experiencing “Paris” first-hand with her mother not long ago. And of course, as a girl in love with afternoon tea, I did not hesitate to take-up the invitation J
