Bosa Foods is Now Open at 562 Victoria Drive — Take a Look Inside


Over the summer we kept a close eye on the construction of the brand new Bosa Foods at 562 Victoria Drive. We’re happy to report that yesterday was their soft opening and that they are open to the public today. The new store has a 4,600 sqft footprint with a fully stocked, drool-worthy delicatessen (complete with butcher’s selections), espresso bar and aisle after aisle of delicious exemplars of the Mediterranean diet. Take a look inside and try not to get too hungry!

    1. Mention their large store and warehouse on 1465 Kootenay Street with a small coffee and sandwich bar and a lovely, high above the food floor, balcony for dining.
      (behind the Vancouver Police tower off Boundary. Enter if you must via Graveley and Boundary. Limited parking.
      Try entering from the 3400 block Charles Street, park there and stroll casually crossing the bucolic Charles Pond park through to Kootenay Street.)

      Afterwards, go up to Hastings and Gilmore and the various “wings” of Cioffis, 4156, 4152 (formerly Helen’s Children’s wear, See the neon golden haired girl on a swing above) as the meat departmernt formerly in the back of the main store and 4142 for the Cucina deli
