Calhoun’s Bakery, a Kits institution on West Broadway, has shut down and is up for lease according to the Ubyssey.
A favourite late-night study spot for UBC students, the cafe will be remembered for its high ceilings, rustic wooden furniture and comfort food. And, of course, coffee.
Last year the coffee house had switched its hours from 24/7 to 7:00am – midnight. Calhoun’s operated on a model that let patrons stay and use the WiFi indefinitely as long as they made a purchase. Apparently not a great business model.

Sorry to see this fantastic cafe close its doors. It’s my favourite spot to grab a delicious lunch when I’m in Vancouver.
