Who We Are

Established in 1994, River City Coffee Roasters, Bakery & Eatery is a local hot spot and as the Sunshine Coastโ€™s first and longest-running coffee roaster, we know a thing or two about coffee.

Our location includes a seating area for more than 80 people, with high industrial ceilings, warm tones, plants, comfy nooks and curated music, and a sun-kissed patio making for the perfect coffee house vibe. We are foodies at heart and youโ€™ll see this reflected in our menu. Our food is made to order from scratch and includes a wide selection of both breakfast and lunch dishes, daily specials and allergy-friendly options. Our entire menu can be made gluten-free, plus we have an extensive list of vegan options. We care about how you choose to eat whether it is a preference or allergy our team will take great care of you. Our baked goods are all made from scratch, baked fresh each morning.

Our expertly-trained baristas will make your drink exactly the way you like it. We use our own house-made syrups and offer cocktail-inspired drink specials โ€” there is always something exciting happening!

Our roasting operation is located in our warehouse on Highway 101 just south of Powell River.
