A new café is expected to open next month at Kitchener Public Library’s central location on Queen Street.

KPL announced on Thursday that Cafe Pyrus has been selected as the vendor in the café space at the library.

It says the new deal will make the central library even more of a “community destination, where people connect, ideas flourish, and lives are transformed.”

Cafe Pyrus is already known to many in Kitchener as it has a spot downtown that offers vegan food with fair and sustainably sourced ingredients.

“Community has always been a value for Pyrus and Kitchener Public Library is a natural extension of that focus,” Cafe Pyrus owner Tyzun James stated.

“Similar to our Outpost menu, we will focus on incredible drinks, fresh baked goods, take-away snacks, and the friendly service you’ve come to expect from us.”
