Locally owned and operated Artigiano has opened in Whistler Village—the latest in the brand’s enterprising expansion and franchising program of converting former Starbucks locations into Artigiano cafés, all while revitalizing neighbourhoods and supporting local artists.
The new Whistler location is locally owned by community partner Angela Lovegrove, who, prior to becoming a franchisee, worked with Artigiano as a manager for more than four years; suffice it to say, she knows the brand like the bottom of her coffee cup! The new Artigiano Whistler café, which houses 10 interior seats and 20 heated patio seats, proudly features Keep it Wild—an interior mural wall and ceiling feature created by award-winning B.C.-based graphic artist Alex James Fowkes, who explains the piece is “all about consciousness. The coastal mountain range is a beautiful place to live, work, and play. As a mindful resident of the Sea to Sky corridor, it’s important
to ensure everyone considers how they move through and impact their surroundings … leave a space better than you found it, call people out who are not respecting the land or nature, and consider every footstep.”
Artigiano’s new Whistler location will feature the menu favourites available at all 23 Western Canada locations, including an inventive “grab and go” program perfect for ski season, and the recently launched selection of hot winter drinks (try the rosemary vanilla latte; trust us). We’re looking forward to après ski at Artigiano! —Noa Nichol

Had the pleasure of visiting Artigiano in Whistler, what a fantastic experience we had. The coffee was truly artisan, the food was scrumptious, and the service was personable, friendly, and efficient! Great location, and the atmosphere was both contemporary and comfortable.
Looking forward to visit again on my next trip over the holidays!
