An Osoyoos cafe has come up with a creative way for you to enjoy a cup of coffee and treats safely in your own bubble 香蕉视频直播� literally.

Junction 3 Coffeehouse has installed heated and lit bubble domes outside of their cafe on Main Street.

香蕉视频直播淧eople are more comfortable being outside right now so my business partner and I were looking for creative ways to keep our customers happy and safe during the colder months,香蕉视频直播� said Junction 3 owner Sara Van Der Hoeven. 香蕉视频直播淲e looked into glass houses but that would require more than these igloos, which are temporary enclosures.香蕉视频直播�

In keeping with Dr. Bonnie Henry香蕉视频直播檚 request of having people stay within their bubble, Van Der Hoeven said her bubble domes do exactly that and more.

香蕉视频直播淭he bubbles fit a maximum of six people. We香蕉视频直播檝e installed little fireplaces and lights. It香蕉视频直播檚 really cozy and quite a pretty experience. The bubbles have become quite an attraction,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Van Der Hoeven has ordered two more bubble domes and is thinking of increasing the evening hours to the coffee shop.

香蕉视频直播淭he igloos are heated so we can keep them going through winter. It香蕉视频直播檚 something fun to do, to come and have a warm drink and food, in the comfort of your bubble,香蕉视频直播� she said.

So far it is first come, first gets a bubble. But if it gets really popular, they may start taking reservations.

香蕉视频直播淲e do have one reservation for this Saturday. A couple who had their first date at our coffee shop six months ago want to celebrate their anniversary in a bubble,香蕉视频直播� said Van Der Hoeven.

Junction 3 Coffeehouse opened May 2, during a global pandemic. Van Der Hoeven said they were all set to open in March.

Van Der Hoeven decided to open in May, turning her cafe into a take out window.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e never opened the inside to the public yet,香蕉视频直播� she said.

The people of Osoyoos immediately welcomed the coffee shop into the community.

香蕉视频直播淭he people who live and work here are so amazing. We love where we live,香蕉视频直播� she added.

Quickly, people were coming to Junction 3 to get their java fix on a regular basis.

香蕉视频直播淲hat we witnessed was something really special,香蕉视频直播� said Van Der Hoeven.

香蕉视频直播淚t was May, so people had been locked in their houses for so long, we were all craving conversation. These people who didn香蕉视频直播檛 know one another before, started coming for coffee and sticking around to talk, six feet apart, of course.香蕉视频直播�

Those same people became friends who now meet for coffee regularly, she said.

Van Der Hoeven said their flat whites and lattes are pretty popular as are her homemade cinnamon buns.

You can order online before you arrive, too.
