April 15 - June 15, 2017

Publisher’s Note Hello, spring! It is such a pleasure to welcome back buds, blossoms, birds and beautiful warm sunny days, especially after such an atypical snow-filled winter!

Kerrisdale is gearing up for many well-loved events and activities. Kerrisdale Arena’s Play Palace is now open for the season. The Kerrisdale Business Association and merchants are busy planning Kerrisdale Carnival Days with fun for all including roving entertainment, children’s rides, face painting, balloons, horse and carriage rides and super sidewalk sales on April 28 and 29.

Kerrisdale Little League Parade is a highlight and starts at 10 a.m. on April 29.

Mother’s Day is a perfect time to shop and dine locally, or pamper mom with a manicure, pedicure or massage. June is a busy month for families as children wrap up the school year with graduation and year-end performances. Maple Grove Outdoor Pool opens for the season in mid-June.

In this issue we are excited to feature three Kerrisdale businesses. On The Go Fashion has been a Kerrisdale shopping destination for 34 years. The fashion loving owner, Eveyfay Hua, distinguishes her store by carrying a wide selection of Canadian made or designed clothing.

Bean Brothers Café Bistro has been a Kerrisdale anchor for 20 years. It’s a great spot for a quick breakfast, family brunch, afternoon tea or coffee or a casual dinner and beer. Diane Wu took over as the new owner in the summer of 2015. Diane is pictured on the cover, accompanied by Oz the dog who was generously loaned to us by Sotheby’s realtor Kim Craig.

West Wood Organics has new owners, Yu Jin Kim and Ray Ali. They are so well liked that a local resident submitted an article praising this friendly couple and raves about their quality produce, well-stocked dairy case and freezer and great selection of dry goods. We say goodbye to some Kerrisdale favourites: Courtney Clothing Boutique is closing and the Kerrisdale Legion and Anti-Aging Clinic are both moving. We welcome many new businesses including Academy of Modern Art, Chatime, Jiu Jiang Japanese Restaurant, Luscious Nail Lounge, Nicola Adam Floral and Momentum Wellness Centre.

Spring in Kerrisdale is a time for gardening, tuning up your bicycle, garage sales and barbecues. It’s a time to stroll the village streets and explore the local shops, restaurants and services that make up this charming neighbourhood. Have a wonderful time enjoying all that spring has to offer.

Bean Brothers Café Bistro: Kerrisdale’s Independent Coffee Shop Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier Diane Wu is as warm and welcoming as the feeling you get when you walk into her business, Bean Brothers Café Bistro. This independent coffee shop has been a Kerrisdale anchor for the last 20 years and has changed very little during that time.

taught me a lot about basic restaurant operations.”

A long time fan of coffee culture, this young business owner had dreams of owning a coffee shop. She says, “I enjoy the laid back atmosphere of coffee shops and the fact that cafés bring friends and people together by acting as meeting spots.”

“I love every part of my job.

If I had to pick something, it would be bonding with customers and making lattes.” Diane Wu

Diane grew up in East Vancouver and attended UBC where she majored in mathematics and statistics. She recalls passing by Bean Brothers often as she took the bus to school. When she graduated her parents encouraged her to buy her own business. Her father was formerly a small business owner; he owned fast food restaurants and Diane assisted him when she was a student. She says, “The experience 6

She began the search for an established coffee shop and purchased Bean Brothers in the summer of 2015.

As Bean Brothers’ loyal customers know, the atmosphere is downright cozy although at the same time it is a large space. It is almost like a home away from home. Many customers know each other and have been loyal to the coffee shop for many years; Diane estimates eighty per cent are regulars. www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

arrive with a newspaper to accompany their breakfast.

Business people on their way to work dash in for a take out coffee.

Students and locals who work in the area drop in at lunchtime. In the evening it is a community gathering place for a bite to eat and drinks in the licensed café.

She mentions, “It’s a great meet up spot, either for a quick breakfast, family brunch, afternoon tea or coffee or a casual dinner and beer.” During happy hour a sleeve of beer costs $4 while pints are $5. There is also a small wine list available.

The business opens at 6:00 a.m., so if you are an early riser looking for a coffee this is the place to head. Scones, muffins and other fresh baked goods receive high praise. The popular scone recipe was passed along from the previous owner and comes in a variety of flavours including aged cheddar and blueberry lemon.

Diane is completely amenable to students using the location as a place to meet and study over a coffee. Some customers bring in their own board games, which adds to the home-like atmosphere.

Bean Brothers serves JJ Bean coffee, roasted locally on Commercial Drive. This family business has been roasting coffee in Vancouver for four generations. The restaurant offers a rewards program so be sure to sign up and earn a free coffee.

Kerrisdale does not have many breakfast spots and Bean Brothers has taken care of that short fall by offering all-day breakfast, right up until the kitchen closes at 8:00 p.m. (the business closes at 9:00 p.m.). The all-day breakfast menu includes Bennys, omelettes, breakfast burritos, waffles and more.

Diane is extremely dedicated to her business and comes in every day. She is a very hands on owner and likes to serve and help patrons. She says, “I like to hear customers say they enjoy the food or service.”

Seniors are often the first to April 15 - June 15, 2017

In addition to serving specialty coffees, Bean Brothers also sells coffee beans — they are happy to grind them to go.

A popular service, especially with people who work in the area, is the option to order online, and with a pick up discount you save ten per cent. Bean Brothers also caters; from dinner parties to corporate events, they have a menu that can be specified for your function.

The menu has not changed much over time although Diane has introduced a few new burgers. The patties are house made. Bean Brothers also serves paninis, sandwiches, soups, salads and pizzas made in their own wood stone pizza oven.

Soon it will be patio season. Bean Brothers has three tables set up year round on the sidewalk – it’s the perfect spot to catch the warmth of the sun (or if it is chilly, sit under the outdoor heater), people watch, sip on a steaming gourmet coffee and watch the world go by.

Likely one of the best deals around, for a mere $10 you can purchase a burger, fries and beer combo.

On The Go Fashion:

A Celebration of Canadian Designed Clothing Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

Nestled among other West 41st Avenue businesses you will find On the Go Fashion, a deceptively large boutique. The nearby intersection is Maple Street, which is a nice connection to On the Go Fashion’s goal to carry as much Canadian made clothing as possible.

Evefay Hua, the friendly owner, purchased the established business after the original owners retired. On the Go Fashion is now in its 34th year of operation.

Evefay is originally from Guangdong, China.

She says, “It's been a productive eight years since I landed in Vancouver on June 6, 2008. I took over On The Go Fashion in 2009, I got married to my husband Wallace in 2010, and now we have two kids.”

16

April 15 - June 15, 2017

“I’ve always been in love with fashion, I guess it’s a girl thing.” Evefay Hua Evefay is an adventure seeker. She laughs when she mentions she is a foodie, loves ice cream and also loves to travel. She worked in the restaurant industry in the United States, attended university in England where she earned a business studies degree, and in France she earned a second bachelor’s degree in European management. Following her studies, she spent time in Paris working in the fashion industry and knew she had found her calling. She returned to China in 2004 where she stayed until she set her sights on immigrating to Canada.

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

“When I arrived in Canada I wanted the freedom and independence of owning a business,” she says. She thought it was a perfect fit when she discovered On The Go Fashion was for sale.

The boutique is stocked with attire for women of all shapes and sizes. Evefay says, “They come to the store to look for clothing that will suit them for their particular lifestyles, unique personalities and for different occasions such as travelling, cruises and weddings.”

The emphasis is on quality garments that are easy to care for, comfortable and affordable.

Evefay distinguishes her store by focusing on carrying a wide range of Canadian made or designed clothing.

On the Go Fashion is a mecca for women’s clothing, whether you are planning to get out of town or are going about your daily business in lovely historic Kerrisdale.

The well-stocked shop carries over 30 brands. There are plenty of attractively accessorized outfits on display if you need ideas on how to put together a great looking outfit, or just ask Evefay and her knowledgeable staff who are always happy to assist.

She estimates that 60 percent of her stock falls into this category. By next year she is hoping to reach 90 percent Canadian content. Shoppers have the added bonus of feeling good about supporting our economy.

Burnaby based company Sympli is a proudly Canadian manufacturer of ethical, high quality clothing. This brand embodies comfort and a flattering fit, designed with every body in mind.

Joseph Ribkoff creates beautiful dresses and sportswear which draws people to the store.

Almost all of this Canadian company’s April 15 - June 15, 2017

clothing is designed, sewn and produced in Dorval, Quebec, which is a remarkable feat in today’s fashion world.

Montreal based Lisette L creates a fashion line for mature women with an emphasis on fit while creating styles that are on-trend.

Lisette L pants flatter women of every body type, shape and size. They are designed with a tummy control mesh on the inside and come in a variety of colours and patterns.

You will find a selection of 360 degree shaping undergarments by Shapeez.

This company believes rolls and muffin tops belong in a bakery, not on our bodies.

Beyond clothing, On The Go Fashion has a good selection of accessories ranging from jewellery to bags, clutches, hats, belts, scarfs, sunglasses and fashionable Clive Somers reading glasses. www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

The world of fashion is often one step ahead of the current season, and summer clothing is already making an appearance. You can expect to see loose fitting, comfortable cotton and bamboo fabrics in tropical and cheerful shades of blue, lime and green along with floral prints.

Evefay takes pride in the excellent customer service she and her staff offer. The store has an extremely loyal clientele with over 4,800 names in the database. She is happy to share a secret – On Go Fashion offers free customer parking behind the shop.

“Being a small business owner allows me the freedom to be there for my family and friends when they need my help, and I can take care

of my two little ones while still being able to work. I'm happy to be a Kerrisdale business owner and resident. My daily trips are within walking distance, schools, playgrounds and shopping are nearby and there are many excellent restaurants.”

Ultimately what gives Evefay the greatest satisfaction about operating her boutique? “I enjoy making my customers look and feel good,” she says with a warm smile.

West Wood Organics:

Where Good Food and Good Vibes Meet Story submitted by Heather Burt

Photos by Sandra Steier

An impressive number of customers who walk through the door of West Wood Organics — the little store nestled behind Kerrisdale’s famous redwood tree at West 41st Avenue and Vine Street — are greeted by name.

Owners Yu Jin Kim and Ray Ali refer to their regulars as “friendstomers,” and it’s clear from their warm and relaxed exchanges that creating a friendly community space is as important to them as the food they stock.

24

April 15 - June 15, 2017

With backgrounds in web design and business operations and a shared passion for good food and good friends, Jin and Ray (“Team Fiji-Korea,” as their Instagram profile jokes) took ownership of West Wood Organics in October 2016. The couple cheerfully admit that while their learning curve has sometimes felt steep, and the demands of running a seven-day, peoplefocused business have been taxing, their combined skills and enthusiasm have served them extremely well.

West Wood Organics offers quality produce, a well-stocked dairy case and freezer, and a great selection of dry goods. In recent months they’ve cultivated relationships with local farmers such as Cedar Isle Farm, and small local producers of traditional health foods, including Biota Fermentation, Umi’s Kitchen, Tempea Natural Foods and Moonbrew Tonics.

•

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

This focus on locally-produced, sustainable, nutritious foods is part of the communitarian ethos of West Wood Organics — a set of values that extends to offering courtesy services such as grocery delivery during foul weather, vegetable chopping for frazzled cooks, and even a place to sit down and share a mug of afternoon tea. In their modest retail space, Jin and Ray are reviving the spirit and practices of an old-time general store, while at the same time honouring the multiculturalism and health and eco consciousness of today’s world.

Visitors to Kerrisdale might be surprised to learn that there is no major grocery store in the business hub. (This wasn’t always the case; at one time the intersection of West 41st Avenue and the Boulevard hosted both a Super-Valu and a Safeway.) Without a doubt, some residents long for the return of a big grocer close to home; many more simply jump in their car and drive to one of several options outside the village to stock up on food. However, if the typical activity at West Wood Organics is any indication, a significant number of Kerrisdale locals have discovered the far-reaching benefits of doing their shopping in walkable neighbourhoods comprised of small community businesses such as West Wood.

April 15 - June 15, 2017

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

25

Canadian-American urban activist and journalist Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) famously defended such businesses as places that foster social interaction and community spirit, thereby contributing to the vitality and long-term survival of neighbourhoods. Walk into West Wood Organics any day of the week and chances are high you will witness — and, if you like, take part in — just the kind of spontaneous, vital interactions that Jacobs associates in her writing with small community businesses.

26

April 15 - June 15, 2017

•

In Jin and Ray’s exchanges with their customers, and, increasingly, in customers’ exchanges with each other, the generic business transactions of a grocery store are enriched — humanized — through the sharing of stories and ideas, many laughs, and occasional worries … not to mention mugs of tea and culinary treats ranging from friendstomer Maria’s homemade cinnamon buns to Ray’s high-octane chutney.

www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

As Jin explains, “West Wood is not only a grocery store; it is a place where all members of the community, from hesitant ESL speakers to lonely seniors, can safely come for human connections.”

selection of Whole Foods, but combined with other village shops, the little store behind the redwood provides a valuable community shopping experience that big stores simply can’t match.

If you’re in the neighbourhood, stop by and introduce yourself. Jin and Ray, along with their friendly staff, Okta, Young, and Mr. Kim, would love to welcome you.

It is a place, she maintains, “That strives to combat the extreme individualism and isolation that too often characterize life in a modern, affluent city.”

West Wood Organics 2307 W. 41st Avenue Vancouver, BC V6M 2A3 Telephone 604-261-2438 www.westwoodorganics.ca

And all this is done while offering efficient service and reasonable prices on quality foods.

“Kerrisdale Village” is aptly named. Within a walkable distance, there are, in addition to West Wood Organics, several produce stores, a few bakeries, a cheese shop, and a soon-to-be-opening butcher.

Tips to Sell Your Home This Spring Low housing inventory is driving demand, but buyers are still being more selective than sellers might expect.  Show your home in the best possible light by giving it curb appeal and eliminating clutter.  Carry out necessary repairs so you don’t lose money during negotiations.  Don’t overprice your home or it will sit on the market for months.

Utilize our 35 years of combined real estate experience to get your home sold for the highest amount possible.

Give us a call if you are thinking of selling your home or if you are looking to buy a home this spring.
