La Fontana Cafe

In 2001, John moved to Burnaby from Winnipeg to start a small coffee shop with his cousins. Since then, the shop has become a second home for many of their patrons. Designed as a traditional coffee shop with a comfortable atmosphere, La Fontana Caffe has built a diverse customer base of dedicated clientele.

"The industry has definitely moved towards convenience," explains John. "The larger corporate chains of coffee shops just try to get people served as quickly as possible. Our shop really values the personal touch – the small-town atmosphere."

La Fontana Caffe has become a staple coffee shop in the Burnaby area. With exceptional homemade food and a welcoming attitude towards informal groups and clubs in the area, La Fontana Caffe is a communal place to relax.
