Building Improvements On The Way!

by Michael Donley
Streaming Cafe has a lot cool things on the horizon. Before I explain where we’re going, it could be helpful to say where we’ve been...

In the Spring of 2009, a quaint downtown brick building found new life in the birth of an idea to merge the love of good coffee with the love of art and good, live, indie music. Over the last 3 years we are proud to have served the local downtown businesses & organizations on a daily basis and featured a number of local artist’s works on our walls. Our live music shows have continued to grow and because of the great local support , the cafe has been established as a destination for touring musicians.  We’ve live streamed over 250 indie artists and showcased those shows in over 400 YouTube videos.

All this info (and maybe a bit of bragging), comes from my excitement of continuing to move forward in our vision to create a great space for amazing coffee (have you tried a Pour Over?) art, music and helping to sustain downtown Kelowna as a place to be.

Starting this month Streaming Cafe will break ground in what is to be a three story adjacent office space that will take us out of our mobile van into a new production room.  Scheduled for mid this summer we will be boasting a new patio, allowing our patrons to mix some good food and drinks with our warm Okanagan sun.  Along with some small renos inside the cafe, this will allow us to host more people to our events and eager listeners for our weekend listening room.

The entire project is scheduled to take around 10 months, but we are planning on being open for business as usual (fingers are crossed).

Whether you come for the cafe your lunch meeting or make it down to for a show, we sincerely appreciate your support  and look forward to what’s ahead for us at the Streaming Cafe.
