January 2023 vs October 2020, and the van is back in the same spot that it sat in while I worked on it years back!

I know I’ve been MIA, and I’d love to start by thanking this beautiful community that welcomed me with such warmth and open arms. I lived in Abbotsford for a total of 2.5 months before I announced the coming of Veille Café & y’all straight up believed in this before you even knew who I was as a person— and I will never ever ever ever thank y’all enough for welcoming me so, and sustaining my livelihood with so much generosity.

My personal life is taking me in a direction that makes it hard to sustain the reality of being a business owner at the moment, and the voice of wisdom has been asking me to reconsider, so this is a sad, but beautifully relieving announcement that Veille Café is closing indefinitely, on all fronts: as a stationary mobile café and event catering all at once.

I could write multiple novels to describe the gratitude I have for the beauty I got to witness through serving coffees from this van, and maybe one day I will! But for now, I say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

As sad as it is to close this chapter as I know it, I am so incredibly hopeful for all else that is to come ahead, and I’m so I am beyond excited to continue knowing the folks of Abbotsford and the valley in different ways for the remainder of my time here.
Thank you for much, Fraser Valley— it has been an absolute pleasure, and privilege to serve y’all!!

P.S: the closure of Veille Café isn’t due to business failure— so if there’s someone out there that maybe wants to open a café on wheels but is curious if there’d be enough business to sustain it—I hope you’re encouraged by this lived out truth: there is more than enough business to sustain it. The people love good coffee, and better yet, people are more than excited for more ventures that bring people from all different walks together, so I hope you go for it!!

Catch y’all on the flip.
With much love,
-A

What’s better than one cute van? Two cute vans!!

Very pumped to let you know that we’re doing a POP UP with .cotta.home on OCT. 9th from 12:00 - 4:00 at

There’ll be yummy coffee, sweet conversations, and the sweet ladies from .cotta.home will have fresh fall bouquets that would be a perfect hostess gift or for the center of your thanksgiving table! They’ll also be bringing some dried arrangements that you
could keep out all year long!!

See you then for coffee, beautiful floral arrangements and of course, yummy ice cream☺️

Hello, friends!
Thank you for your patience and kindness these past few weeks.

Veille Café is resuming business, and it’ll look different for now: starting October 1st, Veille Café will primarily operate as a mobile speciality café for private/special events!

It’s a bit bittersweet to be leaving the Abby parks, but it’s also exciting for multiple reasons.

You can book Veille Café for your special event through our website via the link in the bio.
So excited to partake in your occasions, whatever they be— see you at your next party!

(More on this on our stories!)

As promised: an announcement. This one is hard, but completely necessary.

I’ve chatted with lots of you at the van about the excitement of being able to serve at Mill Lake until city rules no longer allow me to, which would be in October this year.

Unfortunately, a few incidents have occurred this season that have recently rendered me unable to bring my best self forward to serve you all with the same joy and attention that I know exist within me. And so, for my peace of mind and mental/emotional health, Veille Café is temporarily closing its regular business days and hours, as of today until further notice.

This may appear very sudden to many of you, and I’m sure there’ll be many questions, but I graciously thank you for honouring my silence at this time.

I love my job. And it saddens me to end this season more than a month before I had intended to, but it is better that I intentionally refill my cup than try to continue pouring from an empty one. (Pun intended🥹)
Veille Café will be back.
Thank you, thank you.
See you soon!

1 year down, and more to come!

It’s another scorching week ahead of us 🥵😳

We’ll be open from 8am all week long, with closing times varying day to day based on the heat!

August Special: Ashley—a Nutella latte, standardized cold but can be served hot if you ask nicely :)
Someone stopped at the van today and asked “okay so what’s the special for August? Who do we get to love on this month?” and that’s one of my favourite questions of the month yet! The drinks are great, but the people remain greater and it’s heartwarming every time someone shares that they can’t wait to hear the next story.
Anyways,
August’s special is Ashley, also known as my sister, the salt to my pepper, and absolutely one of my favourite people. There’s a very sweet story up on our website about Ashley. Read it for some fuzzy warm feelings and to have your faith in humanity restored a little. Ashley’s here all of August!

Happy new week!
Not sure if you’ve heard but it’s supposed to be incredibly hot this week, and as such, Veille Café’s hours will be modified in order to take care of our equipment and the person operating the van.
The plan is to be open 8am-12 this week until the weather goes below 30 degrees.
Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend; see you tomorrow at 8am! Come grab a cold or hot one, and maybe play a game or two :)

Happy Tuesday!

We’ve moved to Mill Lake now and it’s a different kind of treat😌
We’re open this week: Tuesday to Thursday, 9am-5pm. Come in by for a cup :)
