Gallagher’s Coffee Bar & Cafe has been a Port Moody favourite for years, known for consistently excellent espresso and a relaxed, neighbourhood vibe. Tucked near the waterfront, their bright 900-square-foot space has reclaimed wood tables, local art on the walls, and enough room for early-morning commuters and afternoon students alike. If you want a reliably great latte or a quiet corner to work, this is the spot I tell friends about.

Their menu is straightforward and thoughtfully curated. Expect single-origin pour-overs on weekends, espresso-based drinks from their La Marzocco line, and a rotating selection of house-baked goods such as cardamom buns and sourdough toasties. They pour Salt Spring Coffee beans by default, and offer cold brew, matcha, and a selection of loose-leaf teas. On weekends they add brunch items like shakshuka and a smoked salmon bagel, with vegetarian and gluten-friendly options clearly marked.

What sets Gallagher’s apart is how they do things, not just what they say. Baristas know regulars by name and can pull a microfoam cappuccino at two different temperatures, depending on preference. Orders are taken at the counter, but staff happily make recommendations and explain daily roasts or brewing methods. Service is friendly without being pushy; wait times are reasonable even when the cafe is busy because they run an efficient, people-first system.

Gallagher’s is woven into Port Moody life, hosting occasional open-mic nights and supporting local schools with fundraising coffee drives. People choose Gallagher’s for dependable coffee, honest food, and a place that feels like it belongs to the community. Drop by to try a seasonal pour-over or call ahead for a loaf or catering order.
