Galileo Coffee Company café and roastery is nestled on the shores of Howe Sound in Britannia Beach, BC. Located in the charming 1905 'Matheson House'. Once the home designated for the manager of the nearby copper mine and his family, our fare is modeled after a traditional Italian style café; with a focus on in-house baking, quick eats and specialty coffee. Customers can enjoy their coffee or tea while watching the waves roll in under the watchful eye of snow capped Mount Sedgwick. Or those hoping to learn more about the roasting process can experience it through our view window. Don't hesitate to ask for a closer look. We welcome you to come back for a quick lesson.

New Orleans style restaurant in Squamish. All meat is hormone and antibiotic free, and for the most part comes from local, boutique farms. So try to support BC’s amazing oyster selection, and while you are at it give one of those Atlantic suckers a try and compare the unique coastal flavors.
