Switchboard cafe
Switchboard Cafe occupies a 1940s telephone exchange building in the heart of Ganges on Salt Spring Island, repurposed from connecting people by phone to connecting them over specialty coffee. The cafe serves direct-trade, sustainably sourced coffee alongside in-house baked goods and breakfast-and-lunch bites, all with vegan and gluten-free options, plus a retail shelf stocked with bulk beans and hard-to-find organic products. A genuine community hub, it also features rotating local artists' work on its walls and runs active composting and reusable-container programs.
