This little coffee shop, teetering on the edge of Vancouver’s skid row, is an oasis. Patrons are soothed by Finch's lace curtains, genuine distressed wood floors, light green tin-like ceilings and just the right smattering of vintage details. Tendrils of hanging plants frame the floor to ceiling windows and chalkboards tell of Finch’s beverage and food offerings. Highlights include baguetted sandwiches of brie, pears and avocado, free range egg salad crispy salami, proscuitto and vine tomato salads, chowder soups, and a tempting collection of fresh baked desserts. Cat Power and Bob Dylan play on the speakers and with one of Finch’s coffees or teas in hand, another rainy day spent indoors becomes more than tolerable. Seating is limited but that’s why it’s quaint.
