Hi everyone, Sydney here with some hard news to share: we’ve made the difficult decision to close Soon. We’ll be winding down our online store this month, and our last day of service in the cafe will be Sunday, May 31.
I know this is never the update anyone wants, not for the staff who make us what we are, not for the customers that have supported us over the last five years. But one sliver of optimism here is that we really have done what we set out to do. Soon was built on a simple idea: great coffee should be affordable, approachable, and it should bring people together. Our cafe has been a place where anyone and everyone can come to enjoy a coffee and laugh with our baristas. We’ve been a small but constant part of your routines, your weekends, and your lives. That’s a success to us.
We’ll be open normal hours for the rest of the month, and we’d love to see you in the cafe before we close our doors. We still have some time to reminisce about events like Rookie Moves and our pancake breakfast (remember that?!), to thank all of you who chose Soon to caffeinate your run clubs or spin classes or meetings, and to find ways to keep in touch going forward.
To all of you, thank you soooooo much for being a part of our community. What a pleasure to get to know so many amazing people over coffee. Please don’t forget you can get our beans (and so much more) over at Monogram Coffee, and keep an eye out for our talented baristas in other cafes around the Greater Vancouver area. In that way, I guess it’s not really goodbye…it’s just see ya soon. :)
