Olena from Vancouver

Hi, everyone! I am a proud Ukrainian spotter in Port Moody, Try-city, Greater Vancouver. Still a newcomer, but forever curious to find things. Will surf with you through hidden gems and beautiful places.

Gallagher's Cafe Vancouver

Busy early bird

"Find some treats and pastries at the counter, grab your coffee of the day and contemplate everyday life while your day is just getting started."

Any kind of weather or time of the day cannot make this place quiet and empty: the terrace will have people out even when it's 0°C, and inside, they will be serving salmon and egg bagels with drip coffees to guests from the very morning.

The place is located in the cozy and active Newport Village, Port Moody's central neighborhood, where there is usually something going on. A good surprise at Gallagher's is a creamy and balanced espresso you might want to have again.

Food is sectioned into Wraps, Sandwiches, and Bagels, with different protein fillings like eggs, turkey, chicken, and tuna, good carbs like veggies or some tasty fat like Cheddar or bacon.

Find some treats and pastries at the counter, grab your coffee of the day and contemplate everyday life while your day is just getting started. Also, the place is within walking distance of the famous Rocky Point Park and the beautiful shoreline trail, the path embracing the Inlet.
