Review from Nadz Z.
This cafe is one of those places that is so much more. This place is a community builder, just up to you to make it happen! There is indeed a cafe on the main level, serving a limited selection of lattes, tea, coffee, and beer. They also serve some home cookin' style food. Rather expensive, but it comes with a "mum loves ya" sort of attitude. I had the chili small sized, and I found it to be a nice meal, not too large at $6. My companion had the ribs, quite expensive at $13, and not too much meat. Excellent salad came with it tho.
There are several tables in the cafe area, and two large tables a little further in. What sets this cafe apart is the stage equipped with drums and guitars! They simply ask you neatly coil the cables after use. There is art you can buy on the walls, soap made locally, books to buy, and a cd collection to play.
On the second floor, there are at least two rooms, seeming to be general gathering and meeting rooms. I attended a permaculture workshop in one of the rooms, and found it to be quite a good space for it.
The cafe is tucked down a side street, but there seems to be a sandwich board on the main street pointing the way. It is right next to the Wholesale Club. The parking is extraordinarily limited out front, but the wholesale club seems to allow parking there too.
This place is like a blank canvas, waiting for our touch as a community.

History
Established in 2001
Originally located on 118th Ave, we moved to our current location a year ago.
Meet the Business Owner: Karyn S.
A colorful history, a persistent vision, and a leap of faith led Karyn Stirling to the creation and unfolding of Expressionz Café The School of Life where she gratefully spends her time.
An Artist herself, Expressionz was born of the desire to share ideas, experiences and dreams in a simple, intimate and joyful fashion that would inspire others to do the same.
