The coffee house on Fairview Crescent
A converted residence, two floors of seats, and a kitchen that does a lot more than coffee.
Made for staying a while
The Original Beanery lives in a re-purposed residence building among the townhouses of Fairview Crescent at UBC, with two floors of tables, big windows and plenty of room to spread out.
Campus writers call it a hidden gem and a study-hall kind of place. Regulars just call it cozy. Come for an organic-espresso latte, stay for the rose tteokbokki, leave with a loaf for later.
