Long before he opened his Kaffee Haus in Vancouver, Klaus spent years cutting his teeth in both the food and hospitality industries at prestigious stops all across Europe. After bouncing around the globe, Klaus landed in the lower mainland of British Columbia, where he now runs his own cafe. Here's what you can expect to find:

• A menu brimming with Austrian food, especially sweet and savory strudel. These handcrafted treats are packed with seasonal ingredients ranging from rhubarb and berries to mushrooms and spinach.

• Brewed-to-order cups of coffee, a process that enables customers to fully enjoy the flavor of the beans. The cafe's house blend is a dense, yet sweet espresso that pairs well with milk.

• A cozy and welcoming environment, where guests of all kinds—couples, shoppers, friends. co-workers—can meet for breakfast or lunch and enjoy the cafe's relaxing vibe.
