French Press Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster and café in Qualicum Beach, with a second location in Parksville, roasting beans in-house on Vancouver Island. Founded by Jeremy Perkins, a former professional violist with decades of specialty coffee experience in the UK, the business earned a gold medal at the 2024 Golden Bean North America competition — the world's largest coffee roasting contest — along with multiple other medals. Cyclists stopping in can pair award-winning single-origin coffees and blends with freshly baked goods from a seasonally rotating menu.
