Port Moody calls itself the City of the Arts, but locals know it’s also the city of the coffee walk. Grab a cup, stroll the shoreline trail at the head of Burrard Inlet, and you’ve got one of the best weekend mornings in the Tri-Cities. Here’s where to fill the cup.
St. Johns Street and Moody Centre
- KAFFI Espresso Bar (2624B St. Johns Street): An independent, family-owned cafe with Ukrainian roots. Strong espresso and a breakfast menu you won’t find elsewhere, including syrnyky (sweet cottage cheese pancakes) and shakshuka.
- Black Sugar Coffee House: A neighbourhood staple since 2016 with small-batch roasting and a calm, easygoing room. Good for a morning meeting.
Newport Village and Suter Brook
These two walkable villages sit across Ioco Road from each other near Inlet Centre Station.
- Gallagher’s Coffee Bar & Café (232 Newport Drive): A long-time Newport favourite with a patio for people-watching, consistent espresso and the occasional open-mic night.
- JJ Bean, Suter Brook (400 Capilano Road): Bright and minimalist, with a mezzanine, patio and a living wall. Reliable coffee and baking.
- Caffè Divano: The local mini-chain has a Port Moody location too.
Rocky Point and Brewers Row
Rocky Point Park is Port Moody’s waterfront hub, and Murray Street next door is Brewers Row, a line of craft breweries. Coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon, and a walk along the shoreline trail to Old Orchard Park in between. In summer, the ice cream stand at Rocky Point is a local institution.
Chains in Port Moody
Starbucks and Waves both have Port Moody locations near the SkyTrain and Barnet Highway, plus Blenz. Handy for commuters heading to Moody Centre or Inlet Centre stations.
