Welcome to Café La Canopée!
The Jan Michalski Foundation’s bookstore café invites you to come in and read, daydream, chat, meet other readers and friends of the written word, and of course have a bite to eat and/or a drink. Here you can indulge in small-plate homemade cuisine offering both meat and vegetarian panini, a gaspacho and a salad du jour, and desserts at any time of day, along with a range of hot and cold beverages, and a selection of wines. The bookstore side of the equation features works by our writers in residence and a selection of titles reflecting current cultural events and interests.

Picnics are allowed outside only. We do not have a self-service microwave. Thank you for your understanding
