Met the owner during a day trip to squamish to climb. Honestly, I've never met someone so willing and open to share about coffee as him. He is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about his coffee and it shows! Had an excellent batch brew that easily beats most of the pour overs from other third wave cafes. It's frankly quite astonishing!

Mike helped me choose which espresso beans to get - learned a lot in the short time I was at the store. This is my go to place now for my coffee! They also have beautiful mugs!

This guy doesn’t mess around, if you want the best coffee in the sea to sky this is the place to get it. High quality beans, coffee making apparatus and accoutrements are also available in a nice quiet shop where you take it and leave the man to his craftsmanship for the next customer.

5 star expertise- This guy is all in on coffee knowledge. He curates an amazing selection of light roast coffees and can tell you how to brew each one. Amazing that this shop exists in a small town. He has good taste in coffee mugs too :)

The only REAL coffee in town. Very knowledgeable staff (or owner?). Great atmosphere… looks like there’s plans for tables and sitting area expansion. I love the plants! Great beans and merchandise for sale. Ask your questions and he’ll answer it all because this guy knows what he’s doing! We have bought beans Los Pirineos and it’s so rich and fantastic, we want more!

Very good coffee, ask the owner about why he calls 1924 Coffee Company, 1924 Coffee Company! Only draw back is he should cut a deal with a great bakery in town to compliment the coffee.

Definitely the best, and arguably the only great coffee in Squamish. Beyond the phenomenal selection, Mike is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I learn so much every month when I come by for some exciting new beans. Context is important, and every time I visit I get a bit closer to understanding the who, how, and why those delicious beans taste so good.

It s my favourite specialty coffee shop in Squamish, and one of my favourites near Vancouver. Mike really knows his coffee. If you re looking for exciting adventurous light roasted coffees, he has you covered. Want a more standard latte? He s got you there too. I m giving 5 stars cuz the coffee/knowledge is exceptional, but would love to enhance the experience with a nice in-store coffee drinking experience. I m sure as a solo operation that s harder to pull off, but it feels a shame to take a nice carefully prepared beverage in a to go cup rather than enjoying in a nice carafe/mug at the bar. Very thankful we have this local cafe here though. Definitely stop by if you re a specialty coffee geek.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

Can I just say how amazing this place is? It is nothing short of a coffee enthusiast heaven, and it is hidden off the main road in a small town. I certainly did not expect I would be having one of the best cup of specialty coffee in my life here when I walk in the door, but the barista more than delivered! The coffee beans (incredible selection btw) I bought based on the barista s suggestion was SO good. Can t recommend this place enough for coffee lovers.

★★★★★

The owner is extremely knowledgeable and so eager to help out with any questions. He definitely knows his coffee in and out. Might be the best latte Ive ever had

Amazing coffee here. They actually make a legit flat white, which isnt always easy to find! The barista (possibly also the owner?) got me into decaf as I recently cut caffeine, and the beans he sold me are unreal. This decaf is better than most regular coffee I have drank. hooked.

This is such a lovely coffee shop! On first glance I was not expecting third wave. But boy do they know good coffee! They carry such a wide variety of beans - house of funk, Phil and Sebastian, monogram, to name a few. Not to mention how lovely the service was! I was offered a cup of what the owner considered sub par coffee on the house but I truly couldn t taste the difference. Maybe I m just not that into coffee but it was delightful! I picked up a box of monogram that the owner thought I would like, then he offered some knowledge about differences between washed and natural process. The passion for coffee truly shows. I will for sure be back!

I don t like coffee so there was not much drawing me to this place. But I went with a friend and really enjoyed the experience: the hot chocolate he made me was delicious (orange essence and skor bits!), he was pleasant to chat with, and he has great taste in art. And, I am assured by many that his coffee is the best :) overall, I highly recommend.

I enjoyed my experience at 1914. The owner does not add fluff or frills and I think the buisiness is better for that. I appreciate that the focus is soully on hot beverages. Sometimes simple is better. I was able to add my own sugar to the chia latte, and I appreciated that unique touch. The latte was hands down the best I have tasted in town. :)

After hiking all the way to the top of the chief mountain, both lookout number one and two and back via three, which took six and a half hours we were desperate for a decent coffee. A really good espresso, we used good old google to find 1914 and man is this the best ever coffee place. We are traveling around BC, this is our fifth week and this is the best latte we have had in Canada. Don t go past here without having a great coffee (the best coffee) The owner certainly knows his stuff. Thanks for bringing us back to life. We will return.

Found by chance a stones throw from the Squamish Rafting offices, 1914 Coffee is an excellent surprise and a great discovery. I was greeted by Mike who served me a delicious cup of filter coffee and allowed me to see the extent of his passion for this beverage. He even knew a roasting house in my adopted hometown even though we were on the other side of Canada. Go for it without hesitation!

The place looks amazing. Unfortunately the owner is a bit rude. We were in Squamish on a rafting trip and the people at the rafting place told us that 1914 has the best coffee but theyre usually closed on a Sunday unless the owners SUV was out front. So we went by the shop and the owner was inside and the sign said Closed but we just wanted to ask him if he could make us a cup of coffee because we were really excited to try it and were in town for only a few hours. But he got angry with us for no good reason and literally yelled at us read the sign what do you want from me?!. Needless to say we were really embarrassed by this situation and especially since we went from being happy and excited to embarrassed and disappointed. In my opinion you should always greet your customers in a nice and friendly way (even if youre closed). It really makes a difference to acknowledge their excitement for your work and ,even if youre closed, you should be nice about it and encourage them to come again.
