Professor and the Pigeon is tucked into the West Point Grey neighbourhood, full of artsy decorations and a casual vintage vibe. Here, coffee and tea sippers are encouraged to make themselves at home, drink finely roasted beans, sample some of the fresh sandwiches or kick back with a book and read on the comfortable sofa. It feels like a great café should;: welcoming, inviting and full to the brim with treats for the taste buds. The walls are full of curios, from a framed typewriter attached to the drywall to their impressive book wall.
Started in 2014, the Professor and the Pigeon is run by Tim O’Brien, an Australian native who operated several successful restaurants in his native country. With a passion for the science and magic of cooking, he sought to show others how to make the most of their kitchen. “Once you start cooking, you need to understand why things work, so the science comes into a lot of it,” says Tim. The café name is a throwback to his “Professor” nickname when he became known for educating apprentices on the cooking craft.
