Coffee courtesy of Salt Spring Coffee

Every cup of good coffee should come with a good story. Salt Spring Coffee has a great story.

Mickey McLeod and Robbyn Scott moved Salt Spring Island in the early 1980s and started selling locally grown, organic produce at a farmer’s market in the small town of Ganges. They opened Salt Spring’s first roasting café in Ganges in 1996 and it immediately became a destination for coffee lovers looking for great taste that does not compromise the planet.

Today, Salt Spring Coffee is distributed and served across Canada. In BC, it can be found in over 300 cafés, restaurants, and grocery and specialty food stores. But the company remains committed to its island roots: Fair to farmers who grow quality coffee sustainably, pioneering environmentally-friendly standards and techniques, and a team of expert roasters and baristas who get the most out of every bean.
