In Steveston, coffee is king!

Yes, you can get a cup of tea, a glass of wine, or a mug of beer in Steveston. But one sweep of the neighbourhood would tell you that Stevestonites are hard core coffee drinkers.

There is the iconic Starbucks


The well respected Blenz Coffee


And the up-and-coming Waves Coffee


But what makes Steveston truly unique is the proliferation of the smaller local favourites such as Steveston Coffee


And Bean and Beyond Cafe.


And let's not forget Alegria Cafe & Giftware


and Cannery Cafe


and Oasis Cafe


The scattering of beans from one end of the village to the other is a good thing, too. It's not that such healthy competition would benefit your pocketbook - because their prices are pretty comparable - but because parking is always at a premium. Especially on sunny days. With coffee houses dispersed throughout the village, those with caffeine craving can satisfy their addiction just about anywhere.
