Located in the HOpe Centre at Lions Gate Hospital, HOpe Café is a social enterprise that employs people with lived experience of mental illness. Our mission is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for our employees and the community.
HOpe Café helps people on their path to recovery build skills, work experience, and self-confidence in a supportive work environment. The café also helps build a sense of community while breaking down stigma around mental illness.
While serving a great cause, we also serve up great coffee. HOpe Café was voted one of the top 10 new restaurants in Vancouver for 2015 by the Georgia Straight. Come visit us for a delicious coffee or tea!
