by Andrew Morrison | I checked out Platform 7 Coffee Brew Bar today at 2331 East Hastings (that’s right next door to Tacofino). The brand new space is modelled after a British train station circa 1900, complete with bench seating, antique light fixtures, big clocks, period signage, and a “roof” installation that jolly well protects against imaginary rains. They offer a limited selection of pastries, sandwiches, and such, and make/serve coffee in myriad ways (shots, pour over, et cetera). The beans are all from Stumptown, and there was much rejoicing.
