The spark of inspiration for the café began in Paris in 2008. Scottish-born Isobel (who has a lifelong passion for all things French) persuaded her Turkish husband and two teenage daughters to uproot from Vancouver and travel to France for 6 months. They took in Paris, Bordeaux, St. Tropez, Marseille and Nice, all while sampling the café life. The girls (with computers in tow) soon became accustomed to the relaxing café experience. more...

Professor and the Pigeon is tucked into the West Point Grey neighbourhood, full of artsy decorations and a casual vintage vibe. Here, coffee and tea sippers are encouraged to make themselves at home, drink finely roasted beans, sample some of the fresh sandwiches or kick back with a book and read on the comfortable sofa. It feels like a great café should;: welcoming, inviting and full to the brim with treats for the taste buds. The walls are full of curios, from a framed typewriter attached to the drywall to their impressive book wall.

Started in 2014, the Professor and the Pigeon is run by Tim O’Brien, an Australian native who operated several successful restaurants in his native country. With a passion for the science and magic of cooking, he sought to show others how to make the most of their kitchen. “Once you start cooking, you need to understand why things work, so the science comes into a lot of it,” says Tim. The café name is a throwback to his “Professor” nickname when he became known for educating apprentices on the cooking craft.

Where to find lovely lemon desserts in Vancouver

What better place to enjoy a classic lemon bar than this cozy café with its mismatched wooden chairs and creaky hardwood floor? Professor and the Pigeon is a lovely place to hunker down on a rainy day with a book and a baked good. They also have a great breakfast and lunch menu with plenty of comfort foods. And if you want learn how make your own macarons or chocolate truffles, the café offers specialty classes and general cooking lessons several nights a week.
