Abraxas Books & Gifts Opens New Coffee Bar Amid Pandemic
business · June 2020 · Abraxas Books & Gifts, Denman Island
Abraxas Books & Gifts has opened a new coffee bar addition to the shop to help sustain the business during the COVID-19 pandemic. The store adapted by offering phone and email orders, curbside delivery, and safety measures. The coffee bar serves specialty coffee, snacks, and seating for up to 12 people with local products. The store supports local artisans and authors and has upgraded its website for online ordering.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
