A pause that tastes like home
Lavinia is a celebration of warmth, flavour, and connection.
We are creating a space where people can slow down, share good food, and feel at home.
Inspired by the comfort and traditions of Peru, our menu brings together handmade pastries, all-day brunch, and specialty coffee in a cozy and welcoming setting.
Every detail is crafted with heart, care, and intention, reflecting our love for good food and sharing.
Our Story
Andrea and Antonella, two Peruvian friends living in Vancouver, dreamed of creating a place that feels like home, inspired by the flavours and memories of their childhood.
From the smell of pastries in their family kitchens to the cozy cafés they loved in Peru, every recipe and every corner of Lavinia carries a piece of that home, now shared in Vancouver.
Lavinia is more than a bakery café. It is a space to gather, to belong and to share meaningful moments around food made with love.
Join our team
We’ll soon be looking for kind and passionate people who love good food, coffee, and hospitality.
