The Good Wolf Cafe & Co

The Good Wolf Cafe & Co. is a tiny cafe set to open in Port Coquitlam, BC in the new year. We are indigenous-inspired NOT indigenous-owned. For a list of indigenous-owned businesses to support, please have a read on our blog. Our name is inspired by the Cherokee legend that reads: “ONE EVENING, AN ELDERLY CHEROKEE BRAVE TOLD HIS GRANDSON ABOUT A BATTLE THAT GOES ON INSIDE PEOPLE. HE SAID "MY SON, THE BATTLE IS BETWEEN TWO 'WOLVES' INSIDE US ALL. ONE IS EVIL. IT IS ANGER, ENVY, JEALOUSY, SORROW, REGRET, GREED, ARROGANCE, SELF-PITY, GUILT, RESENTMENT, INFERIORITY, LIES, FALSE PRIDE, SUPERIORITY, AND EGO. THE OTHER IS GOOD. IT IS JOY, PEACE, LOVE, HOPE, SERENITY, HUMILITY, KINDNESS, BENEVOLENCE, EMPATHY, GENEROSITY, TRUTH, COMPASSION AND FAITH." THE GRANDSON THOUGH ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN ASKED HIS GRANDFATHER:"WHICH WOLF WINS." THE OLD CHEROKEE SIMPLY REPLIED,"THE ONE THAT YOU FEED” - this version is from Our vision is to be so much more than a cafe. We want to spread positive vibes in our community and encourage everyone to feed their good wolf. We will be incorporating donations into our sales, and working with different charities and causes each month to support. For now, we are a two woman team, but down the road we would like to hire individuals with barriers to employment, and youth interested in careers in entrepreneurship. We aspire to be an important part of the community that not only serves delicious coffee and tasty eats, but also spreads kindness and encourages others to do the same by feeding their good wolf.
