According to a recent business and special permit filing, Bridge Island Coffee Co will open its doors in Vancouver.
A representative of Bridge Island Coffee Co was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date and what Bridge Island will be offering have yet to be released, according to the filing, the owner will be Bryce Caldwell of Bridge Island Arts and Vintage in Camas.
According to an article written in May of this year from Camas Post Record about Bridge Island Arts, “Bryce and Shelley Caldwell are no strangers to the art of retailing. The siblings, who recently opened their Bridge Island Arts and Vintage shop in Southeast Camas, grew up in Indiana watching their mother, Linda Caldwell, run the country gift shop she operated for two decades.”
“In January, the siblings decided to continue in their mother’s footsteps and run their unique retail shop. They took over the lease at 1902 S.E. Sixth St., in a historic building that has housed everything from a neighborhood grocery store to a music shop to, most recently, another vintage store known as the Rustic Monkey.”
“The Caldwell siblings saw the building’s potential to accommodate not only Shelley’s bespoke embroidery business but also a mix of vintage, antique, and artistic wares that would draw a wide variety of customers.”
“The shop will also have a “make your own Jello salad” bar available for shoppers who want to get in on the mid-century dessert fun during the grand opening event. Shelley and Bryce said they hope to make the Jello salad competition an annual event and will name the occasion “Doris Day” in honor of their grandmothers, both of whom were named Doris,” the article goes on to state.
Update: The address was removed after the article was initially published per the request of the Caldwell family.
