ABOUT
Isetta is a beautifully renovated mid-century modern cafe located between the ocean and the north shore mountains of West Vancouver.
Deep West Vancouver Roots
Located in a striking sloped-roof mid-century-modern building built in 1962, over the years our building has served as a shopping centre, post office, convenience store, pharmacy, and auto service centre for West Vancouverites and pleasure seekers exploring the seaside and mountains of West Vancouver.
Rejuvenating a community icon
Now a 60 year old building, we rejuvenated and modernized the property in 2022 to serve as a community gathering place and a destination cafe bistro for adventure seekers of all kinds.
A fun Italian-German collaboration
Our name comes from the Isetta micro-car, a collaboration between an Italian motorcycle and appliance manufacturer and BMW in the 1950's. If you pay attention, you might be able to see our namesake driving around West Vancouver.
