East Vancouver’s Coho Coffee (1370 East Georgia Street) has launched a new brunch menu by executive chef Taeyoung Chang, hyper-locally fuelled by its commissary collective of sweet and savoury member ingredients. Available now for delivery and take-out, dishes include a vegan breakfast wrap, a bright and fresh brunch bowl, and hearty sandwiches.
“We are excited and proud to be nourishing our community while featuring our talented members at the same time,” says Jennifer Chan, CMO at Coho Collective. “It has always been our mission and goal to highlight our commissary members within the Coho Coffee food program, all the while promoting the importance of a sustainable food system.
