Cowdog’s Kitsilano Spot Becomes Instant Coffee Sensation
Since opening its new location in Kitsilano, Vancouver’s beloved no-tip coffee shop, cowdog, has been attracting long lines and rave reviews. Known for its unique no-tipping policy, cowdog ensures all staff earn a living wage, creating a happy team and loyal customers citywide.
No-Tip Model Proves Profitable and Popular
Owners Joe Lee and Ryan Leenstra launched their first cowdog on Oak Street less than a year ago, quickly expanding due to overwhelming demand. Their Kitsilano soft opening weekend alone raked in an impressive $10,000-without even serving food or having a fully plumbed espresso machine! Meanwhile, the original location maintained strong sales, proving the no-tip approach works.
What’s Brewing? Matcha, Hojicha, and More
Cowdog’s menu features fan-favorites like matcha, hojicha, iced coffee, and tasty cookies. The simplicity and quality of their offerings, combined with a fair wage philosophy, have struck a chord with Vancouverites eager to support ethical businesses.
