Visit Iconoclast Koffie Huis (11807B 105 Avenue) for an amazing mocha at the espresso bar. We love the industrial space constructed from found materials; the espresso counter from gym benches, the base from wood pallets and coffee bean bags, and the old church basement chairs to sit on. The 150-seat event space in the back of the building can be booked, with catering by Culina’s Brad Lazarenko and Revel Events.
