In a world where modern consumers seek more than just a hot drink, the most memorable brands are those that deliver not merely a product but an emotion, a culture, and a lifestyle. Amberdo Café was born from exactly that vision. A proudly independent and fast-growing brand, Amberdo has redefined the café experience in the heart of Vancouver turning it into something mindful, beautiful, and deeply high-quality.
Unlike the fast-paced, copy-paste chains dominating the market, Amberdo has charted a path with intention and care. With a strong focus on thoughtful interior design, a smart and inclusive menu, genuine human connection, and social responsibility, it has become part of the city’s cultural and everyday rhythm. At Amberdo, every cup of coffee is not just a beverage it's the beginning of reflection, conversation, and calm.
Amberdo Café is an authentically Canadian brand that launched its very first location in Vancouver’s vibrant and artsy Kitsilano neighborhood an area known for its blend of nature, creativity, and urban lifestyle. It was the perfect setting for a café that aims to serve not just flavor, but a human, cultural, and sensory experience.
Amberdo’s mission goes far beyond selling drinks or managing a retail space. With the motto “One Coffee, One Tree for Canada,” the brand is built on three core commitments:
Amberdo isn't just a café it's a conscious part of people’s daily lives, a cultural neighbor, and a meaningful choice for the new generation.
The Founder: A Human-Centered Vision for Coffee
Behind every great brand lies a deeply personal story. Dr. Mojdeh Shokrisaz, the founder of Amberdo, drew upon her lived experiences across cultures from Amsterdam and Istanbul to Paris to shape her vision. She realized that a café could be much more than a point-of-sale: it could be a “place” in the truest sense not just a location.
With this perspective, she opened Amberdo’s first location in Kitsilano. While its design takes inspiration from Parisian cafés, the soul of the space is unmistakably modern and Vancouver-born.
While many franchise brands chase aggressive expansion at the expense of customer experience, Amberdo has taken a deliberate, quality-first approach to growth. Today, the brand proudly operates six thriving branches across key areas of Vancouver from North Vancouver to Bute Street and Broadway.
Each location is uniquely tailored to its neighborhood from the layout and menu to the design details and service style all while staying true to Amberdo’s core identity.
Amberdo Café is now ready to expand into new Canadian cities, including Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal. Growth will follow a standardized franchise model, with a minimum investment of $250,000 USD required to launch a new branch.
This investment covers custom interior design, full café equipment, staff training, marketing support, exclusive supplier partnerships, and end-to-end knowledge transfer. Thanks to Amberdo’s streamlined operations and strong brand identity, a fast return on investment is projected.
Amberdo’s menu is not only comprehensive it’s thoughtfully curated. From specialty coffees brewed with locally roasted beans to classic and herbal teas, seasonal drinks, handmade desserts, and fresh bakery-inspired pastries, everything is crafted with care and fresh ingredients.
Options include light fare such as salads, sandwiches, soups, frappés, smoothies, and milkshakes all presented with high quality and aesthetic appeal. A key feature of the menu is full customization: customers can choose their preferred type of milk (including plant-based options), sweetness level, flavor infusions, and even beverage temperature.
Amberdo’s cafés are designed to invite you to linger. With minimal aesthetics, natural lighting, wood textures, gentle music, and a layout focused on comfort, each space makes customers feel welcome not rushed. Amenities include study-friendly tables, free Wi-Fi, power outlets, children’s play zones, and a warm family atmosphere.
Amberdo believes that a successful brand should leave a positive mark on the world around it. That’s why we live by the motto:
“One Coffee, One Tree for Canada.”
A portion of all sales supports reforestation and environmental restoration efforts across Canada. We also use biodegradable packaging, green energy, and local suppliers, while offering educational programs to raise consumer awareness.
Live music, art shows, poetry nights, and photo exhibitions are regular features at select Amberdo locations making each visit an opportunity to connect with art and community.
Amberdo’s growth plans aren’t limited to Canada. The brand’s development team is actively preparing for entry into international markets across Europe, the Gulf region, and North America. The ultimate goal? To build an international brand with local roots and cultural authenticity.
